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."
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.
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.
Far Cry 2, Driver: San Francisco and Sniper Elite V2 are now all Xbox Backwards Compatible games available for Xbox One.
Going to pick up Far Cry 3 as I just saw that was available for BC. Not really a fan of the Xbox One but I am glad that I got one since it has some really good BC games! Playstation, please make your next console BC so I dont have to buy an xbox next gen!
I love Far Cry 2. I've played it on PS3 and PC, and now I'm going to play it again on Xbox One. Even though the multiplayer for this game wasn't very polished when it released, it was actually one of the most fun games to play back then. If it hadn't gone head to head with CoD4 when it launched during that holiday season, it probably would have been much more popular. It'll be interesting to see how populated the servers will be after the BC release :)
Excellent work by the Xbox BC team as always, would love to see more 360 BC games get the 4K treatment though.
cant wait.
