It feels like it’s taken an absolute age to release, but Sniper Elite VR will finally set sights on PSVR from 8th July. The game’s promising a “powerful World War II story” told “through the eyes of an Italian Partisan, rising with your brothers and sisters to protect your homeland from the fascist forces that threaten to destroy your homeland”.
It’s been designed from the ground-up for virtual reality, so while it will retain many of the mechanics from the main series, it will deliver a new perspective for the tried-and-tested systems. Using the PSVR Aim Controller, you’ll be able to physically aim down the sights of your sniper rifle; you’ll also be able to dual-wield if you opt for the PS Move wands.
Yes, the X-Ray kills will return, but even more importantly there’ll be a variety of locomotion options, all designed to retain the freedom of movement that’s a flagship feature in the Sniper Elite games. It’s looking decent in the gameplay trailer embedded above, although there does appear to be a much bigger emphasis on traditional firefights than sniping. Still, we’re eager to scope it out next month.

At last!!! PLEASE let this be good.....
I'd rather have a sniper elite 5
I still have Sniper Elite IV in the backlog.
I don't really get it, okay flying through the air as a bullet is cool I suppose but aren't you spending most of the game staring through a lens, maybe it'll be great, definitely needs a demo
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Says they have a bunch of other weapons in one of the vids. I assume there will be more fast paced shoot outs if that is the case.
Remember silent scope at the arcades?
Pepperidge farms remembers.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Nah, this is like a proper Sniper Elite game, so you'll be spending just as much time finding vantage points and using stealth.
I want this pretty bad. This game looks great. PSVR is so far from dead. It’s still getting great support. Well worth my purchase.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi did you watch the video, dude?
@hi_drnick why would I, I know what sniper elite looks like dude
This might make me get an aim controller... if I can get hold of one..
