Marketed as a remake of the 2005 game Sniper Elite: Berlin 1945 by the same developer, Rebellion Developments, and published by 505 Games, Sniper Elite V2 aims to eclipse its predecessor by adding many new features including an overhauled visual performance, an improved physics system, improved enemy AI and the controversial slow-motion X-Ray Killcam, while throwing co-operative online multiplayer into the mix. This will by no means be an easy task, as the original received impressive reviews, metascoring a 76, and great reception by gamers. So, is Sniper Elite V2 a carefully-considered, precisely aimed headshot of a game, or an impulsively fired, poorly planned shot off its mark?
Jason was woefully unprepared for the slower-paced nature of Sniper Elite V2 — originally from the last-gen of consoles and now on practically everything (He played on his Switch). There’s no running and gunning, but there are certainly cool set pieces.
From Rebellion: "We’ve been delighted to see your response to our upcoming release of Sniper Elite V2 Remastered. As an independent developer we value your support and try to be as transparent as we can.
For this reason we want to tell you about a small update to the boxed edition of Sniper Elite V2 Remastered in Europe and Australasia. The boxed edition in these territories will now be releasing three days later, on May 17th."
Carlos writes "2017 was a great year for the Xbox Backwards Compatibility program with many of our favourite 360 games made playable on Xbox One. That said, there are still a ton of highly requested games yet to arrive in the program and with 2018 set to see even more added, it makes sense that the first of the years new additions are now being given the treatment. This past week has seen six new games made backwards compatible, but which ones are worth returning to once more?"
"Six new games arrive via Backwards Compatibility"
Does anyone not see the funny side to this statement? I do... lol
I love the Sniper elite series & V2 is a great game & as I still have my 360 copy I'm good to go. Great news & it's free for me too.
