Released a few days ago at the time of writing, the patch aiming to improve the controls and general feel of Metro; Exodus on PS4 has been a success, based on the majority of comments that we've been reading around the web.
When the game launched on Sony's system last month, it was criticised by many for the sluggish way in which the first-person shooter controlled. Some cited input lag while others claimed that the title was just far too weighty. Fortunately, this latest update, 1.03, does seem to have made a difference.
Here are the patch notes from developer 4A Games:
- General stability improvements
- General input responsiveness improvements
- Improved animation and general action timing to shave specific perceived latencies.
- Added 3rd Controller Sensitivity preset, which now has much faster camera movement acceleration, and will be set by default now for new players. If you are mid-game, you will need to manually select this preset from Options > Controller > Sensitivity to see if you prefer this adjustment
- Fixed cumulative latency cases with vsync/framerate.
- Added save backup system for PS4
- Fixed various issues with general saving system
- Fixed other general issues

@munkondi I don't think they should. They review what is available at the time. That is how the game was and that is how it was judged.
@Stoffinator Fair, but people that read the review from here on out want to know what the game "is," not what it "was." Welcome to today's video game environment, where games constantly change and media coverages struggles to keep up. :/
@munkondi This is unfortunately something that the media and independent reviewers struggle with all the time these days. Any game can potentially be made better over time thanks to patches and updates, and suddenly, the review is out of date and no longer makes sense.
Like @Stoffinator says, though, reviews capture the game at a specific time and there's not much we can do about that. What we always end up asking here at Push Square is whether we can have a way of updating or simply re-reviewing games past a certain point.
But this approach will only bring its own problems. This industry moves so fast that going back to review old games is difficult because of time and available resources.
So again, it is something that we're always thinking about, but we haven't hit on a good solution. That said, we do try to keep people updated on how a game is improving with news stories like this one.
It's still not a 6/10 game though is it? The patch won't miraculously alter the opinions of the push square reviewer.
facts dog I agree.word up son
@shogunrok perhaps link these story updates to the old review page?
