Metro: Last Light got a lengthy gameplay demonstration at E3, but it was for press eyes only until today. THQ and 4A Games has released the full 13 minute video today, giving more than enough Metro to whet your appetite for gritty post-apocalyptic goodness.

The full video shows the protagonist Artyom heading through a destroyed Moscow with a Red Line officer named Pavel. Together, the duo try to reach The Theatre, a legendary station city rumored to be safe. Well, safer at any rate. Check out the extended demo below.

  Can't wait for this, going to need a new videocard though. GTX 670 looking pretty attractive right now.

      I believe there was a setting that added no visible improvement to the image quality but drained performance significantly.. can't remember what it's called but play with the settings and I'm sure you could boost your performance.

        It may have been their solution to AA as this benchmark doesn't have it enabled and the frame count is very high:

        Also this game favours AMD rather than nVidia..

        I think he's referring to the DOF setting

        I was replying to myself, lol. DOF certainly adds something noticeable but AAA doesn't differentiate much from 4xMSAA, visually.

        There is no way you are running it on your gtx560ti maxed out with DX11 settings on. DOF on absolutely murders even the highest end 28nm video cards.

        Yeah, this isn't possible at 1080p. Your 560ti would be a dog at 1080p maxed out.

        i could run it maxed out on my 560ti too, though the fps dipped at times and the shitty engine kept crashing on me till i switched to dx9

        I don't understand why people compare frame rates of certain GPUs at max settings without mentioning resolution.
        
        One person getting 60fps at 1440x900 doesn't mean much if the other person is running at 2560x1600

  Fallout 4 needs to have some moments and regions like this. This is kind of what I thought The Divide from New Vegas' Lonesome Road DLC would be like.
