PCGamer : Created by Nicolas Winding Refn, in case that headline wasn't enough of a ride for you.
A look back at 4A Games' admirably consistent post-apocalyptic shooter franchise.

Metro developer 4A Games: A History of their VR works, from the forgotten gem that was ARKTIKA.1 to the more recent Metro Awakening.
4A started working on tessellation long before Crytek did.

Crysis 3 may melt our PCs but Metro Last Light may just have an edge :-)
People throw around "Future proof" too much, there is no such thing, because ten years from now we'll look back and it wont look good at all, which means it wasn't future proof at all.
Hopefully this doesn't mean it's poorly optimized like the first one...
Im considering purchasing a Desktop this fall these titles are pushing me further and further in the confirmed direction. Any Spec configs I should shoot for ?
