[Thursday War]

looking good

 

[Dark Octave]

Oh wow. I really liked the second one.

 

[zephervack]

Love the new vehicle kill cam, cant wait.

 

[Ubersnug]

Those kill cams are, disturbingly, making me very interested in this game....

 

[mclem]

Trying to figure out if that's the same lighting effect that I put into the original.

 

[Reaganomics]

Oh man this looks really radical. A lot of sweet games are coming out what with this new generation, it feels like someone's got a crush on us.

 

[youbastards]

Looks good, but I was hoping for a more modern (or even Vietnam War era) timeframe. That other Sniper game series just hasn't made me happy.

 

[DieH@rd]

This game will also support Mantle on PC, so low-end configuration will have easier job rendering this CryEngine game.

 

[V_Ben]

Ha, how long ago was the original!

 

[Sojgat]

I like the second game, and this seems like it's going to be a lot better, based on those previews.

Looking forward to this now.

 

[gamechanger87]

Really loved the second one.

Glad to see the series is continuing, as I don't think another game has captured how satisfying it is to nail a shot. Especially on the higher levels.

Anyone know how well the second one sold?

 

[VanWinkle]

I haven't played the other games, but they weren't third person like this, were they? Interesting. Looks pretty good. Do these games have multiplayer?

 

[Dire]

Those kill cams are, disturbingly, making me very interested in this game....

Kill cams paired with more realistic than average bullet physics ( surprise - a bullet fired from a gun with a muzzle velocity of 800m/s at a target 300m away isn't going to end up where you're pointing!) made the second one really fun. Throw in random traps and it's just madly entertaining.

Very well. Sales are at least over a million.

The game is just really satisfying. You can probably pick up v2 fairly cheap.

The multiplayer is more of a co-op mode. Think Horde.

 

[Sojgat]

They were. You might be thinking of the Ghost Warrior games. These are much better.

 

[Allforce]

These games look great, but I agree I would love a modern setting with today's sniper technology. Afghanistan, Iraq, even a modern city.

The sneaking around and melee/handgun kills don't appeal to me that much, I literally would pay 30 bucks for just a game that puts you in different scenarios of "make this shot count". Maybe like that Sniper mini game from the last Hitman game, that was great.

 

[gamechanger87]

For those wondering, below is a link to a great v2 kill montage.

The two previous games were indeed third-person.

Great to see the North African campaign being represented in a game again. I had a good time with the last two games so I'll definitely be checking this out.

 

[mclem]

Ha, how long ago was the original!

2005, on the Xbox 1. I don't actually mean the *same* effect, of course, just a revamped version based on the same premise. It certanly looks similar.

 

[Dictator93]

This game will also support Mantle on PC, so low-end configuration will have easier job rendering this CryEngine game.

I do not think this game uses Cryengine. You are thinking of that other sniper game... the worse one.

 

[Trago]

Set in North Africa? Interesting location this time.

 

[VanWinkle]

The multiplayer is more of a co-op mode. Think Horde.

That sounds pretty interesting. I may end up getting this depending on critical and GAF reception.

Ahh, okay, yeah, I think I might be thinking of Ghost Warrior, although I have heard of these games.

 

[UpsideDownAce]

Show me those sweet, slow mo x-ray killcams!

Edit: just got done watching the trailer. That's what I'm talking about!

 

[Lima]

This better have coop again.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

I hope the zombie mode is included from that start. Most fun I've ever had on a PC game in years.

From the Eurogamer preview: "refined multiplayer and co-op are available out of the box".

 

[DieH@rd]

Quite possibly.

 

[Currygan]

looks good indeed, hopefully it does play good as well

 

[mclem]

Unless Rebellion have changed policies in the last few years, it'll be using their in-house engine, Asura, not based on any commercial solution.

(And as I write that, I stumble on a post claiming it's a derivative of ID Tech 4. Which I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't, if things hadn't changed!)

 

[Haines]

Never played these but love sniper stuff so maybe I'll jump in on the ps4 version

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Day 1 for this. So surprised that it's coming so soon. Good time for it to release too, since nothing too big is coming in Q2

 

[Stallion Free]

This game will also support Mantle on PC, so low-end configuration will have easier job rendering this CryEngine game.

Wrong sniping game, this isn't Cryengine.

PCGamesN has the BEST writer ever..

Sniper Elite v2 is the video game where you shoot a man in his testicles in slow motion. It’s the game where the camera flips into Superman’s x-ray vision to reveal a man’s two glossy pink nugs, which had been resting with improbable neatness inside their filthy grot-pouch for the entire war, and then shows a hot bullet whizzing through one or both of them before zipping out the other side, all covered in blood and confused gametes. “Not today,” you gloat triumphantly at the popped nutsack as it flies around like a burst hot air balloon in a cartoon, “your reign/rain of insemination ends here”. Haha! Video games.

Sniper Elite 3 improves on the game’s infamously gory killcams. Now, when murdering a man, you’ll see all new muscular and circulatory systems, allowing you to shoot a Nazi in his blood or through a meaty glute. Rebellion say it’s all in aid of reminding the player of the horror and reality of the sort of bodily wreckage that a sniper’s bullet causes. Especially to a pair of balls. Fair enough. That's probably what I'd say too if I'd made an asbolutely horrifying testicle-blasting simulator that my mam might see.

[SJRB]

Super cool.

 

[Stallion Free]

I like the upgrades to the killcam, but they didn't do a very good job of showing off the stealth improvements which were the biggest issue I had with V2. The DLC for V2 showed real potential with the open level design though, so it will be really nice to have the whole sequel designed that way.

 

[leakey]

more gruesome kill cam

Played the demo for 2 over and over and over just for this.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Man, they went all in with the vehicle cam, holyshit.

If they can deliver on the more open-ended maps, this should be great.

 

[Superfrog]

dat hair

TressFX not required.

 

[Hooligaani]

Great, I never liked those Tombliboos, hopefully we can shoot these too?

 

[LoveCake]

V2 was something else, the first time the screen went all weird & the sound slowed down as 'kill cam' started i was WTF is this & then the bullet hit its target.

Excuse the pun but i hope the dev's really focus on the game & the pub gives them the time to do what they want & not screw this game up.

 

[Bedameister]

Wow that game looks pretty cool. Never noticed it before.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

I liked Sniper elite v2. I'll probably pick this up too.

 

[Watevaman]

I am definitely waiting for this one to be out for awhile before I decide to jump or not. I bought the second one at launch and was incredibly disappointed with how boring it got on top of the forced action sections. Never again.

 

[BruiserBear]

The detail in those slow mo headshots is a little much. Gore porn for snipers.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Trying to figure out if that's the same lighting effect that I put into the original.

I still have my copy of that.

HOLY CRAP

bwahahahahahahaahah

 

[foxdvd]

V2 was the perfect example of a game that was filled with problems but I had a blast with. So many AAA games are polished to perfection and I just can't enjoy myself.

I will day one this....
