New Nvidia beta drivers are out supposedly up to a 10% increase in performance in last light.

:lol: so the ability to change the fov in the config has now been removed.

/slowclap.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

My review and videos will be up in a bit. I really enjoyed the game though. Anyone has questions shoot them at me (played on 360).

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Also, SSAA = screen space anti aliasing? lol come on TB...

Does the 360 version have motionblur (object or screen based)?

Just curious!

Yeah, tsk.

We all know it's Sporting Shooters' Association of Australia.

Not 100% sure there, I believe it does. I can check in a bit again. I jotted some tech notes down but am at work without anything.

good read, super pumped

edit:funny that PCG reccomends higher start difficulty...

I believe they have said the consoles run on the equivalent of low PC settings, so maybe not?

 

[Dictator93]

Probably lower than low if the first game is any indication!
Just curious because the first game ran really well on 360 and I was wondering if they added that one nice feature!

I thought the PCG review completely missed the point in their criticism of Metro, what they were arguing about is a moot point as what they are criticising means changing the scope and genre of the game.

http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-320-14-beta-drivers-released

But no mention of any SLI profile for LL here or in the 320.00 beta drivers? So I guess I'm okay with 314.22 for now? Maybe it uses the same profile as 2033?

They probably just forgot to mention it. There tech preview shows SLI results using the 320.14 driver.

Actually, just checked the driver through Nvidia Inspector: it has an SLI profile

I highly recommend using 320.14

Is the profile made for LL or is it the same one as 2033, though?

 

[angular graphics]

STILL offering no FoV option and no individually tweakable settings makes me :\

Why? All those years after Metro 2033...

 

[haikira]

78 hours to go, for my unlock. Ugh.

What's the countdown for US folk?

 

[Dictator93]

Yes, but there are extra bits on the bottom. The driver adds 10% performance to the game and has native SLI support instead of having to force it.

I recommend using.. not sure why you would not want to!

78 hours to go, for my unlock. Ugh.

Anyone know of any good to the USA VPN/proxy clients? This EU wait is so stupid.

US unlock will be in less than 11 hours

The best bypass for steam for the US release is "Spotflux".

 

[Dictator93]

The best bypass for steam for the US release is "Spotflux".

Thanks a lot. I assume it works by blocking the region detection through IP? Something similar to that.

 

[Adam Blue]

Would anyone enjoy watching a stream of the 360 version on Twitch this evening?

 

[jacksepticeye]

Thanks a lot. I assume it works by blocking the region detection through IP? Something similar to that.

Yep, a VPN I think reroutes you through a server from somewhere else in the world. I think Spotflux either does the same or tricks steam into thinking that's what's happening.

Either spotflux is the easiest to use and you can use it as many times as you like

Also some shots, not mine but I thought they looked good

No FOV slider? The fuck?

Yeah, I know what you're saying, but beta drivers have been a hit or miss in terms of performance for me. I've cases where upgrading to beta drivers messed up my performance in other games.

 

[Sethos]

No FOV slider? The fuck?

Yeah it's pretty rubbish. I wanted to turn it all the way down and truly experience the game.

 

[Jb]

Overall, would your recommend that version of the game at full price for someone who doesn't have a PC that can run it? Or should I wait for a price drop a few months down the road?

Meaning you'd buy on console? Yeah, I do. Although they did announce a next gen version too, so I'd almost grab that. That being said though, I liked the game and feel it would be worth buying. Took me about 9 hours on easy. Going to play through again tonight.

I suppose it's too much to ask for toggle aim this time as well...

 

[jacksepticeye]

I've heard everyone talk abotu visuals and atmosphere but a huge thing for me in games is Audio. 2033 had great audio, how does this one stack up?

Thanks! On one hand yeah, it would probably be smarter to wait for a next gen port but at the same time, there isn't much coming out right now, whereas next fall/early 2014 looks pretty packed.

 

[Thorgal]

Ah the enternal curse of pc gaming

having the highest level of graphic fidelity available while having to endure port lazyness and devs leaving stuff out.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Solid again. I played both with a 7.1 set-up and my Astro A50s. You get the cavernous feel, you get the subtle noises. A good job on the audio end.

no FoV slider really? come on, 4A

this game need a day 1 patch.

and wooha.. Totalbiscuit have sli Titans now

 

[Hawk SE]

As someone who needs FoV sliders, Metro: Last Light never disoriented me or had a negative effect on me. If motion sickness is your problem, you're likely to be okay.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Here's all my goodies for you guys if interested.

14 graphic settings rolled into 1 = no way to disable motion blur at highest settings. Lovely. I hate motion blur....

 

[dark10x]

Heh, funny. My thought was "no way to enable motion blur at lower settings?! Great. I LOVE motion blur...".

 

[Dictator93]

14 graphic settings rolled into 1 = no way to disable motion blur at highest settings. Lovely. I hate motion blur....

You even hate per-object motionblur?

I can understand disliking screenblur.. but per object blur?

 

[Totobeni]

14 graphic settings rolled into 1 = no way to disable motion blur at highest settings. Lovely. I hate motion blur....

Seems like A4 just didn't care about the PC version.

with lack of FoV slider and lack of decent graphics options this go to "wait for sale"for me,thankfully PC boxed copies drop in price very very fast these days.

 

[legacyzero]

Modding-GAF never fails though.I'm hoping we get some fixes for at least the FOV.

Lazy PC options there, 4A. Lazy.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Hoping for a day 1 FOV patch. Shit's unforgivable.

 

[AstroZombie]

You can disable or enable motion blur, TB is playing on very high and he has motion blur disable.

PS: Presets sucks.

 

[scitek]

Hopefully holding out on the PC version of this will lead to a better experience when I finally do get around to it. I need to adjust that FOV.

 

[AndyBNV]

Nope, he has it on Low.

 

[Backfoggen]

Really still with the fucking presets. Tech hype deflated.

 

[AstroZombie]

Nope, he has it on Low.

Oh, that sucks.

 

[jacksepticeye]

I was really hoping there wouldn't be presets again for this one. I hated in Metro 2033 how everything was tied to one another. Let me tweak how I want please

 

[FlyinJ]

Neither of the free Korean FlyVPN servers work to unlock the game here in the US. Is this game actually out anywhere right now? Hong Kong maybe?

 

[iNvid02]

but you got it right with 2033 -_- ;_;

 

[Nokterian]

No FOV slider? The fuck?

Welp,not going to play it untill they added it. FoV 60 makes me sick. Unfreaking believable they did not a FoV slider in this day and age.
