So that trailer for Metro Exodus at the Game Awards was pretty great, right? The sweeping shots of a snowed-in ruined Russian city, the flicking of a flare dancing on the wall of a pitch black tunnel—it all made for a post apocalyptic vision that was as beautiful as it was sad.
Too bad it feels as though it came from a different game than the footage we saw in E3's Metro Exodus reveal trailer, which was an orgy of visual delights that seemed like a revolution in graphical prowess. In June's trailer, the icicles sparkled in the dim light, subtly revealing the ghosts of nearby objects behind them. In comparison, the icicles in the Games Awards trailer looked more like frosting oozing from a cake. The June trailer has camera shifts that moved between intricate cobwebs, dandelion stems, and little pebbles that tumble off a cliff while the player gets chased by a mutated bear. The Games Award trailer, though, is far less ambitious. It'd be wrong to call it ugly, but the differences between the two trailers were vast enough to lead us to call it one of the show's "losers." So what the hell happened?
