Rebellion Goes Loud with Sniper Elite 5's PS5, PS4 Reveal

PvP invasions sounds like it’ll work brilliantly in this game. It’s one thing trying to snipe your target avoiding AI, it’s another trying to outwit another human!

Love me some Sniper Elite. Hope they have new things with the killcams!

This game is a one trick pony

These games are always good solid fun — same with the Zombie Army series. Can't go wrong with an improved sequel, surey.

Lets just hope the graphics hold up. I played the last one on xbox one x and the game looked like it was smeared with vaseline across the screen.

I love the xray for the bullets. I remember it blowing my mind when I first saw it.

These games are great. I’ve got a real soft spot for Sniper Elite V2- got both versions of it. I’m also keen for more-looking forward to this!

I‘d like to see a new perspective, being a German sniper. But an ambivalence as in Inglourious Basterds would be too complex for most gamers, who want easy good-bad schemes and no intellectual stress. This game is not art, and it does not want to be.

Played through 3 and 4 with a buddy in coop. I believe we still have the season pass to go through as well. Pretty fun with a mate if you dont take things too seriously.

These games can usually do with a lot more polish however. The controls are often wonky and enemy AI can be very inconsistent.

It also looks like they're doing nothing new, France instead of Italy..?

I like these games although i much prefer the zombie army spin offs...what i'd really like to see is the franchise brought into the modern era and not just warzone scenarios..how cool would it be to be tracking down crazy snipers in a city enviroment like the washington snipers..just a thought..

i hope this remains heavily in offline campaigns. xray bullet time does not get old lol

@kingbreww They could be described as such, but its a trick they have mastered and refined over the years. Doing one thing extremely well is far more than most games achieve.

Ball shots galore but does get old after a while , I'll play it with game pass save buying it

Testicle Shot! 🤣

Sniper PVP invasions sounds pretty cool indeed. I would get totally paranoid looking for the telltale flash of light on an enemy scope.

@TooBarFoo touché 👏

I usually play through these games solo, and then with a mate, and always on the hardest difficulty. Only ever play Zombie Army in co-op though. Have to say, I wasn't that enamoured with 4 when I played it solo because it was exceptionally difficult to stealth the game due to it being so open. I found it very difficult to find somewhere to set up and snipe from considerable distance, and that when I did shoot, I seemed to alert someone somewhere. Also, I much preferred to shoot bottles than the eagles, which I found far harder to find in such an open map (a minor quibble, but an annoyance nonetheless)...

Loved playing 4 with a mate, some genuinely great gameplay moments. Looking forward to 5. I just wish they would do more missions with deadly counter snipers, something like the film 'enemy at the gates' would be awesome.

@GorosBat yep and its looking the same here imo. Unfortunately this is no nextgen graphics. Same procedure as every sniper elite James.

Looking good! I hope we have more missions where we support AI-controlled allies, though. That one mission in SE4 where you're supporting the Italian resistance was really fun

@Max_the_German While that would be cool, pulling off a version that isn’t rather censored would be pretty difficult sadly.

@Jaz007 I am convinced that it wouldn‘t have to be censored if you do it right, at least outside of Germany and Austria (where any streak of glorification of National Socialism is a problem, of cause). The average Landser didn’t wear big brassards with Hakenkreuzen, these signs were pretty small, many (most?) Wehrmacht soldiers didn‘t identify with the ideology, but only with their nationality. But such a game as a German sniper would sell worse due to the reasons mentioned above. It is bizarre: As „mature“ the presentation and action are, as unmature and undercomplex is the social system depicted in these games. They are targeted for men of the age between 18 and 25; not younger, not older.

Mont Saint-Michel looks absolutely stunning

Pondered but haven’t pulled the trigger on sniper elite game since the first. Up to 5 already; they seem to be wringing the life out of that thing hope next gen will shake things up a bit
