I’ve learned to expect such CGI wizardry in pre-rendered cutscenes and Hollywood movies, but it’s flooring to see that level of photorealism rendered in real time at a frame rate that’s fast enough for a first-person shooter. The light bounced realistically off of the metal surfaces, illuminating the space with an uncanny realism. In many games, there’s often a stark and unrealistic contrast between outdoor and indoor lighting, but in Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, sunshine naturally bounced into the space before fading into shadow. As I rummaged through the trailer and moved deeper into its dark innards, I flicked on my flashlight. I ducked inside the dim interior of a trailer to scavenge for precious supplies. Reflections shimmered across the rippling surface of the water. Some meltwater had spread across a ruined roadway.
METRO EXODUS IMAGE UPGRADE
In fact, this next-generation upgrade is so advanced that it's one of the first games to require a GPU capable of accelerating ray-traced effects in real time, like NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 20-series and 30-series graphics cards.īack in the game, the terrain around me was blanketed in snow. The result can only be described as stunning. The PC Enhanced Edition, free to all owners of the base game, drops the mix of ray-traced and rasterized lighting effects in favor of a fully ray-traced illumination pipeline and new ray-traced reflections. Its hybrid engine offered global illumination and ray-traced ambient occlusion as options to gamers with compatible hardware. The Metro series has always built immersive worlds using the latest technologies, and when Metro: Exodus launched in 2019, it was one of the first titles to incorporate new ray-traced effects.
METRO EXODUS IMAGE FULL
The trek through the melting snow and ruined buildings put the next-gen graphics technologies in Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition on full display. Along with Anna, my wife and a talented sharpshooter, I set off to find the attackers while others repaired the train. Shots rang out and damaged the train as we crashed through the debris. Our scout shouted out a warning: a small blockade covered the tracks ahead. Along with a small group of survivors, I was traveling across war-torn Russia in a small train to reach a remnant of civilization in the Urals. I leaned on the rail of a train car, watching the snow-blanketed landscape slip by under the rising sun's yellow glow.
