I wasn't really that excited when I heard about the Metro FPS games being revamped, but after watching this I am. Not to mention having a revamp of the first game available on Linux too.

Sadly it isn't a same-day release for Linux, but it they are both coming. The only word we have on it is on the official announcement when they mention "later this year".

It makes me wonder how any Linux pre-order will be counted now that the Linux icons were taken off of the Steam store items for Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux.

See the official announcement here.

What do you think to the new stuff in both games then? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I'm excited for this as I haven't played either but heard good impressions about both. A bit disappointed for the Linux version delay but somewhat comprehensive considering the relative small number of the dev team and reported hardships they had to face just to put the games out so far (http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/05/15/4a-games-working-conditions/.

As long as the Linux version does come out I for one don't mind the wait. I loved the original 2033 and now I can't wait to play it again natively.

I'm starting to worry about my gaming setup though, might be time for an upgrade!

i bought it on their linux support, even though i don't like the game. even preordered redux collection on same reason, but i doubt i'll bother downloading them

still, playing on "bad conditions" sympathy card? kinda low if you ask me, it is not like anyone forced them into working on this game. especially when this video doesn't agree with description

Dont wanna pay for a game I already have :P. Yes its updated and improved, but the 2033 hade some really broken elements in my opinion. And I dont see why I have to pay to fix that :P.

I rather want them to create another metro game or try go back to stalker like games.
If u dont got mentro I recommend it, and I dont think u should hasitate to grapp this redux version of it.

I need to get confirmed beyond doubt that indeed the OpenGL version is as upgraded as the DirectX version, but if it is I'm onboard to buy it - again.

If that report about 4A games is true, then they should genuinely be supported, especially given what Ukraine is going through at the moment. And they have Linux support on top of all that!

"you know what really grinds my gears??"

That I picked up the redux versions because of the penguin icon only to have steam remove it when I wasn't even paying attention. I did not realize that when it was announced they said linux "later this year". We all know how "later this year" turns into "well.. now maybe q1 next year". I was all excited for the 26th and have been replaying LL on linux in anticipation. :><:

even tho i played both im sure ill get both in redux versions just to support the cause. not so sad that they will not be on linux right of the go, since i already played them & im waiting for new cpu/gpu generations anyway to get a proper rig (14nm cpus and 16/20nm gpus)
