big leap from 2006 technology what do u expect but quite crap compared to mid/high end pcs

People who complain about 720p this gen need to realize just how many AAA games last gen were sub- hd

"but quite crap compared to mid/high end pcs"

You mean those same PCs that also dropped to their knees and cried while trying to max out these games? ;)

Yep ;)

"Keyword is last gen. This is next gen"

actually it's current gen

Yeah, ok...."quite crap", whatever you say. Call me when you can build a PC for £350/ $400 (even cheaper elsewhere) that could run this game, with those visuals, at 1080p with a rock-solid 60fps.

You PC elitists are hilarious. The PS4 can finally run games like this at 1080p 60fps, equivalent to 'high' settings on PC, but you still bash it and compare it to modern high-end PC's in order to maintain your feeling of superiority. Why don't you just give it the praise it deserves? You would need a much more powerful and much more expensive PC to run this game at the same settings as the PS4 with a rock-solid 60fps.

PS4 full native 1080p. Xbox One newly exclusive native 912p. Will Xbox One continue to struggle and have weird variable resolutions from 742p to 998p? 720p or 1080p. Lets keep it simple, no more upscaling from weird resolutions.

To be fair, the the Metro series has been notorious for it's optimization. This is from a fair chunk of developers who made the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series which was also notorious for it's optimization problems, they're based in Ukraine where working conditions are less than satisfactory, frequent power outages, government snooping, freezing temperatures, no heating et cetera has followed with both games development. Metro Last: Light for the same reason was a behemoth of a game to run on a solid frame rate on PC. Make no mistake, if the original release was ported to current gen consoles it would be a train wreck just the same to run without stripping it down. The Redux release however appears to have given the series it's much needed optimization to run well on all platforms.

Great respect for 4A! They delivered a TRULY REMASTERED Metro games for PS4/Xbone/PC. And 2 games for only 50$. Take my money.

Nice to see 1080p/rock solid 60fps on PS4. Metro 2033 are notorious for optimization on PC.

Last Light wasn't actually that hard to run surprisingly on the PC (Original 2033 was a system hog) It only brought higher end set-up to their knee's when you enabled Nvidia Physx, Tessellation & SSAA 2+ but with those things off and the other settings on high the game ran and looked great, really impressed with 4A.

"PS4 hits its 60fps target at full 1080p, while Xbox One currently stands at a curious 912p native resolution - that would be something in the region of 1620x912 (assuming square pixels). The original plan for Xbox One was to ship at 900p, but the June XDK update (returning the Kinect GPU resources to developers) has allowed for a tiny resolution boost"

Honestly, what's the benefit of even bothering to bring up the resolution by 12 horizontal pixels? That resolution isn't even going to scale well, is it?

So much for the June SDK making games 1080p.

Making this monster run at 1080p 60fps is a big achievement. This game is a mammoth hog on PC. They've massively toned down the lighting, tessellation and Physx but even still it's running how it should be which makes me happy - 60fps! Lovely and for a $400 it's good value.
The is a great game and way under appreciated. Enjoy it fellas

You ran the game at max settings, but with certain settings not at max. Are you sure that you get the whole "max settings" thing?

Anit-aliasing is usually considered separately. Nobody expects to have to ruan a game a 8x SSAA or something ridiculous like that in order to say you have, for all intents and purposes, maxed the game.

@starchild,

that's what PC Mustard Race likes to argue about, when the article's main comparison is really between the PS4 vs. Xbox One.
