Wow. Just, wow. Lazy is the wrong word for this port.
Around the 7850 area. Even pretty low-end CPUs seem to do fine in the benchmark, so I dunno how the game got capped at 30.

Yeah.....compare it to this beauty right here:
Metro Last Light Redux PS4 1080p 60fps

Feels like wizardry compared to Dishonored.
I disliked Dishonored. Felt fundamentally flawed... Stealth games should build in a need to stealth, an incentive, a reward for stealthng-- Beyond stealth being its own reward. I just couldn't make myself sneak through the game because killing everyone head on was so excessively simple. So the game felt like kind of an average FPS with a bunch of stealth features that felt unnecessary, but you could do for the hell of it if you felt like it for some reason.
A good example of a great stealth game is alien isolation, where being discovered doesn't always mean death, but you really really don't want to be discovered.

What a selfish opinion this really is!
So a company shouldnt spend a little amount of money getting a team (Normally not the main one or in house either) to port over a game to new consoles for people who either want to play it again on a new system or for people who never got round to playing it in the first place, all while expanding your potential audience for the sequel?
And so what if they are advertising their new game, are you forced to buy it? Does it take away vast amounts of resources from teams who would make new games? Does people who havent played it before for whatever reason deserve to never get the chance to play it without buying other systems? The answer to all those is No!

It's not supposed to be a full stealth game, contrary to Alien, which is a survivor horror game.

Bingo. This will be a GFG and PLUS offering a month before the second installment releases. Will pick it up then. Lack of 60fps just kills the hype for me. I played the crap out of the original so no need to spend any money on this.
It's even more powerful than the 7850, something between the 7850 and the 7870, but it's not important, even if it was as good as a 7850 and even lower, this port is a disgrace, they should be ashamed.

Metro is beautiful, this video doesn't do it justice, easily one of the best remasters this gen.
They absolutely should do that, but they shouldn't charge $40 for it, they shouldn't call it the "Definitive Edition" and they shouldn't advertise that its enhanced graphics are going to "take full advantage" of the hardware it's running on.

Fantastic series. Very atmospheric, immersive and fun survival horror game
.
Also includes all dlc. Was worth 60 bucks, 20 is a steal.

Thankyou for putting what I was thinking into words.
GTAV, Metro, TLOU etc have set a benchmark for what should be expected of these remakes/remasters. I'm not saying that they all have to hit those heights but when one falls miles short, as in this case and in Prototype's case, they absolutely deserve to be called out on it. It's an insult to the people who will spend their money on it.
Metro 2033 Redux is the better of the two, but they are both really good.

Can't believe they went the 30 fps route with this. My old 670 had no problem with 1080/60.
Funny is, it drops tearing too. That's incredible.

Absolutely. They are very, very good games. You won't regret it, particularly at the low, low price of zero dollars.

Yep, port could've been way better, but the PS4 version runs decently (smooth 30FPS), upgraded visuals and textures, and is definitely worth it for $20 if you haven't played the original (or the DLC, which is great). Haven't noticed screen-tearing past the opening few minutes, if it's there it's minimal.
Would've been amazing at locked 60FPS and a little graphical love though. That really is a shame.

Two very different games but the metro remaster was expertly done. Unlike this poor job.

Except its a PC port. they have the assets and the art from that version which has been well established as running 1080/60 on hardware thats inferior to current gen consoles. Porting it should be utterly straightforward.
I'm just baffled by it. The only excuse I'd give them is that they had less than 3-4 months to do it. In which case the publisher is to blame for being a bunch of money-grubbing shitheads.
Console optimization is a process that requires an amount of man hours. There is no "Make a really good console port" button.
I agree that it is baffling that they didn't do a better job. I blame the management, not "laziness" of any individuals working on it.
One of the problems I had with Dishonored was that the stealth gameplay was basically broken with Blink (especially because you pretty much stop time when trying to use it).
On top of that there was the fact that non stealth gameplay was where you could be most creative and where the game was at its best, primarily because of the abilities and equipment that you had, most of which were geared towards a non stealth style.

Its the same price as GOW 3 remastered on amazon, which I still is a shitty deal despite being 60fps.
Not to my knowledge. My guess would be that Arkane/Bethesda won't to dive into the "What's new?" of things until it lifts the curtain on actual gameplay.
We only meant that Metro Redux is far superior technically, a lot more effort was put into it and yea, it looks much better and runs twice as good.
If you are asking about quality, I liked Dishonored more personally, I liked the stealth gameplay and the freedom it offered, it is an awesome game, that's just me though, games are different, Metro is more like a good fps campaign, i enjoyed it but it's not my type of genre generally, if you like fps than it's a no brainer, a very quality remaster there.
Gamekult.com (X1) (french) : 8/10
The review says its close to PC with the arrival of 60 fps but the users comments say its 30.

With regards to the 60fps debate a in depth technical knowledge would be helpful here. How much work is it to make a 30 fps console game a 60fps game? A £14.99 release forgives a lot in my opinion and so it seems unfair to compare it to Tomb Raider/The Last of Us/GTA that retailed for a lot more. A small team, a small remaster... makes sense to me.

Not actually that important
I5 759 and HD5850 (both OCed but stil...)
1080p mostly locked at 60fps with high settings, depending on the part of the game I could even throw in some AA

Ding ding ding. Bethesda is a garbage publisher. Just look at Arkane and Human Head, where they attempted to force both studios to sell out to them by cooking the books on milestones/cash payments/loans.
Of course every publisher is varying levels of evil to their serfs (err, development studios) so as much as I'm disappointed in this port at least once it hits 10-20 bucks it'll be a solid deal. Certainly better then some of the ports we've seen anyway.
Aren't they're asking 40$ for it though? that's way to expensive for such a minimal port.
Zombi for example is a very cheap port as well but at least it cost 20$ (+ they didn't call it the Definitive Edition or anything like that, implying it's a direct port and not a remaster, Ubi is way more honest here)
People who can't tell this is a 30 for game and not 60 really shouldn't be reviewing games. That's a pretty big thing to not be able to differentiate for a professional.

Yeah that is true for some people, it's just that in the UK at least it was given away as a free ps plus game on the ps3 and people who added it to their account get to upgrade for £14.99. I guess it's not worth the full price entry.
You really think so? Textures and art assets are expensive to make. It seems just as likely that it was a budget issue.

quoting you as you mentioned it but maybe others will know too.

I played the game with my Sandy Bridge CPU and 660ti and it ran at 1080p/60fps maxed out basically. PS4/XO owners could have gotten something better and they should have.
