It's weird this wasn't available for pre-order/pre-load on PS4.

Doesn't need to be preordered. You get the $10 gift card just for buying it the first week its out I believe...

Actually, the Best Buy rep on their forums says it doesn't work on pre-orders. The card is for buying it during the promotion, which he said is intended to start when the game releases. Note that this is not the same as the promotion for Gamer's Club members in which you must pre-order to get $10 in rewards points, but rather it is an instant gift card given to you at the time of purchase, whether you are a member or not. http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Gaming...ertificate-with-purchase-question/td-p/840509
This is what I'm waiting on.
It'll be a huge loss IMO if the console versions have no motion blur.
Metro: LL has some of the best subtle motion blur I've seen in a game. Seeing the Watchmen(dog looking creatures) up close with their quick movements obscured by blur was probably my first "oh shit" next-gen moment.

Just so I'm clear, is it common practice to be able to use these gift cards on the initial purchase? So I can get Metro:R from Best Buy for $40? I may cancel my Amazon pre order, unless they match.
What? You can't use the gift from your purchase on your purchase. The gift card is awarded AFTER you buy the game...

The gift card is given to you. It is part of the game purchase transaction for you to get it. Thus, they can't use it on the very same transaction you are getting the gift card from in the first place.
You most likely can just use it on your very next transaction.
Also, if you have a GCU membership, you already get the game for $40 and then the $10 gift card, essentially costing you only $30 for the game. That's how I'm doing it.
Agreed whole-heartedly. Last Light was my favorite FPS campaign of last gen right behind CoD 4 and Halo 3.
I will also be bummed if there is no motion-blur in the console versions. I was stunned at how good Last Light looked last year, and the motion-blur quality went a long way in selling it's visuals.

Haven't seen this clarified anywhere, but is the current owner discount on Steam only applicable for pre-orders, or will it be a discount in perpetuity (like for Deus Ex:HR Director's Cut?)

Still undecided on whether to buy the Redux package on steam, as I already own the two games (although I still haven't gotten around to playing them yet, as I am waiting on building my new PC soon).
They do offer a discount for owning the two games, if you buy the redux package which is nice--but at the same time I feel silly re-purchasing the same games. Indecisiveness!

While i haven't played redux, I'd skip Last Light redux because that game didnt really change at all. 2033 might be worth it if the first game's gunplay bothers you, but it's not totally necessary.

Bought a used copy of Watch Dogs (ps4) a month ago for $30... just sold it to some guy for $40 which will go towards this on tuesday 
So.... kind of pointless as I don't understand the language and won't notice.
But is there any russian gaffer here that played the original?
How is the russian dub?

I'd love to hear this as well. My only experience with Metro is playing a little 2033 on 360 and it was definitely enough to get me interested in Redux. But I played a little in the Russian dub and thought it was cool, so I'm curious if it is worth going through the whole thing in Russian or if it isn't considered well done. I might just do English this time, but I'm curious either way.

I haven't played the games yet, but this is what I've gathered from other gaffers:
The Russian dub is much better than the English one
The one drawback is that there are no subtitles for all the chatter from background npc's. Hopefully someone who has played can be more specific.
Thanks for clarifying this.
I just checked the website and it now adds a $10 gift card with the game. So now it works on pre-orders as well if anyone is interested.

Never even touched these games before.
Liked the look of the atmosphere and fancied playing them.
Preordered on ps4. Cant wait

Yeah the original release did, and the store pages for both Redux games say they don't, weird.
Probably 1PM EST of there's a preload. If not, it'll be up whenever the hell the store updates.

Just preordered. I'll be picking it up at midnight tomorrow after work. Can't wait!

Yep, the promo is now active, so if you were to pre-order now you will see the gift card in your cart. Think I might go ahead and do it. I don't mind that the gift card has to ship while I'll be doing store pick-up for the game.
Those looking to grab Metro Redux should not be concerned whether to get it or not. It's a must-buy, my 5 out of 5 review: http://www.savingcontent.com/2014/08/19/metro-redux-review/
GCU + GC makes it a pretty solid deal, plusI had $20 in RWZ Coupons, so I promptly jumped on this for $20 OOP. I never finished either game anyways.

They show up as completely different, new games on Steam. I've got Metro 2033 and Metro 2033 Redux side by side in my library right now.

Can you see it at all on the store now? I can't find it on the XB1, website or smartglass. I wonder if it's getting the digital pre order treatment (leaving it a little late).

Amazon UK are doing these for £25 on both PS4 and Xbox One. Seems like an awesome price for the disc package.

I was thinking about doing this if the digital price is a lot more (I'll be buying it in USD), also I think it's released earlier in the US (26th v 29th)?

I LOVED Wolfenstein but it's not exactly hard to look better than that game
I know Wolfenstein suffers from Id Tech 5 syndrome, but I honestly think its an utterly gorgeous game. Yeah its got shit textures up close, but the art direction and overall design makes up for it. Not saying its better looking than 2033, cause it isn't, but its got that X factor that makes me really enjoy its visuals
I've been playing the two Redux games. The step up from 2033 to Last Light, even in the redux versions is huge, I'm really impressed. Even the little things, like I don't think I had to wipe my gas mask at all through 2033, but in Last Light you really need to.
The one thing I will say though, and this is more true of 2033 I think, it still doesn't really explain all the mechanics. It's nice to not get lectured by a game, but little things like the lighter and your journal, how to change to your better ammo, how to charge your torch, it could all be better explained

They said it is just going to be available starting on release day digitally and as a disc. No digital pre-order on consoles.

Question: Is the European Steam Unlock purposefully pushed to the friday? Will I have to tunnel through the Atlantic with a VPN to play this game today?

While it's been changing recently, usually US home media releases on Tuesdays (now some are on Friday as it is a growing trend here). So yes, generally if a game is coming out Tuesday here, it comes out the Friday of that week for Europe. It comes out tomorrow for us US players.

I have seen it even lower, it's like the HD collections being lowered priced on last gen consoles. I'm glad someone gets the pricing for remastered games.
