Interesting read. Look at what they accomplished, with a fraction of the resources of other companies.

Somehow this sentence leaped out at me:  "The entire 4A studio would fit easily in the (underutilized) gym at EA Los Angeles' offices. Yet Last Light's Metacritic score blows away Medal of Honor Warfighter." 



Yikes!


Step yo game up EA.

Metro looks pretty damn fine

You ain't never lied...



2560 x 1440 with SSAA @ 2X

Of course the fps was in the TEENS at this point. 
SSAA is absolutely MURDEROUS.  Only SLI/CrossfireX configs in the Titan/680/690/7970/7990 tier could run it comfortably at that res with ANY kind of SSAA.

Guru3D did a nice piece on the game's VGA performance here: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/metro_last_light_graphics_performance_review_benchmark,3.html

Nvidia also did a nice writeup concerning all the tech on display here: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/metro-last-light-graphics-breakdown-and-performance-guide

I found that one while looking for a way to get this game running nicely.    It's a real GPU murdera.
You're gonna want to turn SSAA off. Yes..OFF.  The game engine will then default to 'regular-ass' FXAA. 
Your GPU(s) will thank you for it, and reward you with smoother frame-rates.


As for the gameplay...once again 4A has done a STELLAR job with immersing you in the story and atmosphere from the word go.
I am thoroughly impressed with what I've seen thus far.  Might very well be in the running for GOTY 2013.
