I haven't played both of those games, now I actually have a means (and reason) to.

Bleh. I love the metro games and relish any opportunity to play them again, but I don't want to just buy the games again

I'll buy this once it's on sale since I already own 2033

Man, these two games look incredibly cinematic. I would definitely consider buying a new console just for this.

I was half hoping that PSVita would be on that list. Maybe a little too ambitious.

I wonder how this is going to be sold on PC... Are they going to be new Steam SKU's, or are they going to be sold as DLC. Based on the info released so far, I doubt they will be free updates for those of us that already own both games.

I love both of those games, but I don't think I'll go back and play both (too many other games to play). I'd love to play a few levels from each game, though, as long as I don't have to pay too much to do so.

Judging by how others have done it (for example Deus Ex HR and Strike Suit Zero), the updated versions will be sold as separate entries on Steam, but current owners of the old releases will get a Steam coupon to upgrade for 85-90% off.

I hope that's it. I would be in if that is their approach. Personally I only played part of Last Light. It was good, but I wandered off...

This is actually really convenient. I always wanted to pick up these games but never got around to it. Now that they are on the One I might just do that.

@r3dt1d3: Maybe it's a fault on the developer's end if your game is mediocre on the default settings?

Everything about the concept behind the Metro franchise is something i'm way into; survival-based atmospheric first-person-shooters are right up my alley. But both games just got so tedious and samey, I honestly feel like they could've chopped the game in half without losing anything. And seriously, what was up with that Library level in 2033 that seemed built around their new door-opening mechanic? There are like no doors in the whole game, and then you slowly, meaningfully open like 7 of them in the LIbrary.

I wish the patch could fix how blatantly sexist Last Light was.

Maybe they'll give a special discount for people who own the previous Metro games *nudge nudge*

Check steam pre-order page 50% off

Seeing as how it seems to continue being a resource-scarce, survival-based first-person shooter, I'd say I still have an excellent reason to not play it.

Not sure what one thing is an issue but playing on normal I didn't have much trouble maintaining my bullets. Sure the ones I was shooting were not great bullets but they killed things.

Hopefully they added more mask filter locations because I am still stuck near the end on the first Metro because I don't have enough canisters.

I already own both games on steam. I don't see the point of buying them again based on this trailer/teaser. At least not until I know exactly what they mean by "redux".

It means they are coming to PS4 and Xbox One with some slight updates. They wouldn't have done this if they were going to do it PC only.

In short: buy if you want to own these two games. If you already own them, this most likely won't be worth it.

Well, no one really OWNS anything on Steam, so this is a nice way to have the games without an online authentication scheme.

Definitely going to get this on PS4.
