Metro Exodus - 18 minutes of E3 2018 gameplay

Really looking forward to this one. Hope it's more like 2 than 1 in that you're not having to ration ammo so much. That was my only gripe about the 1st, you always had about 3 bullets less than you actually needed.

Best thing is it might actually be the game that forces me to upgrade my GPU lol!

This kinda makes me all nostalgic... I think I'll play Metro 2033 tonight. Haven't played it in forever.
 
Ammo sparsity was one of the factors that made me enjoy it more: I hated it in a good way, having fewer bullets than enemies but it made me make choices and play conservatively and fit the game type at the same time.
 
It looks stunning. And it just brought back memories of being stunned when I played Last Light. Gosh, WHAT a game that was.

I tell you something a bit deeper about LL. I loved the way it would be hard, then you would get respite, then hard again, then respite. It allowed you to gear up and mentally prepare for what you knew was coming, but, enjoy a beautiful game as well. A friend of mine (game reviewer) said about Bioshock Infinite "It's a beautiful game set in a beautiful world, but it's so linear and nothing can be opened or explored. It just expects you to rush along and not notice which is a shame".

Metro LL answered that. It was linear, but they used it very very well. IE - in some god forbidden pokey tunnel that made you feel really claustrophobic. Then? you open a grate and you are now in a much larger, more open place. Which you then get to enjoy for a while and fully take in before the action begins again.

Perfect. Metro LL was perfect. Let's see if they can better perfection now !

Aye, I agree with the level design. Exploring the surface for the first time in 2033 was one of the most tense experiences in a game I've had in years. I would like to hope these levels in Exodus are quite akin to old shooters like GoldenEye and Perfect Dark where you're free to explore all of it and do everything in whatever order. They truly were the days.

I'm resisting every temptation to watch this video, I wanna see more Gameplay but I want to go into Exodus with a blank slate as that's how I've always experienced Metro.

Going to be getting a GTX 1080Ti or 1180Ti just for it.

Yeah every time I came to the end of a dark tunnel and saw a door catch I knew it was coming hahaha. Amazing. Really, truly amazing. Stoked for this new one !

Talking of Perfect Dark.. There is a massive Rare collection on Xbox one. Getting for sure !
