![]() ![]() If you opt for the performance mode then you get a silky smooth 60fps at 1080p. When set to resolution, the game runs at a stable 30fps with very clean and crisp visuals – I’m not sure on the actual numbers but it’s supposedly 4k. Update Visuals and performance – I’ve been playing the game on the PS4 Pro and we have two options, performance and resolution.All the DLC included – as well as all of the additional campaign missions, including the infamous one where you get to kill Hitler, you also get access to all of the weapons which were previously released as part of the DLC packages.However, I was only playing on both Easy and Medium, so I imagine the harder difficulties will require much more strategy and pre-planning. ![]() ![]() Truthfully, I spent about 90% of my time using the sniper rifle and about 10% using my Welrod – the only time I used mines was on a mission I couldn’t win as people kept coming behind me and taking me out. You’ll also gain access to various accessories such as grenades, mines, trip wires and stones so that you can plant traps and distract the soldiers in order to line up a better shot. This is why this time around, on my PS4, I made sure to listen out for random loud noises and plan my shots perfectly so that the enemy can’t pinpoint my location – this works surprisingly well and adds to the strategic elements of the game. Sure, this adds to the realism of the game, but it also acts as a very unforgiving and unfair mechanic in terms of allowing the enemy to instantly know where you are without actually seeing you or observing the bullet trajectory. If you open fire with a noisy weapon or fire off a shot from your sniper without awaiting the cover of some noises, the AI will instantly know where you are – this leaves a silhouette of where you were as they all begin to make a b-line in your direction. This leads to one of the issues I had with the game back in 2012 which is still present, the enemy AI. As I said previously, stealth is your best option as causing a scene will only result in disaster due to the realistic nature of the game. You’ll always be equipped with your trusty Welrod, a silenced pistol, and whatever machine gun you’ve plucked from a lifeless corpse. As you progress through the game you’ll pick up new sniper rifles, each one offering a slightly longer zoom level, as well as new secondary weapons. Whether you’re playing for the super realistic physics and intense difficulty, or if you pop the game on easy and become obsessed with trying to shoot every body part imaginable, Sniper Elite V2 has something for everyone be it a challenge or a rather disturbing fetish…Īlthough the game is called Sniper Elite V2, and you’re an elite sniper, you have access to an assortment of weaponry for you to blow your foes away with. A stealthy sniper gets to live another day, whereas a noisy one ends up getting shot in the face before they can cry out for help! The main event comes from satisfyingly taking down the enemies with the slow-motion X-ray death shots from a few hundred feet away! Each level is like a small open sandbox of death – not as much as we saw in the brilliant Sniper Elite 4, but there’s a decent amount of wiggle room for you to choose how you wish to play the game. The story may be rather simplistic and the goals for each mission are usually the same (clear out the local area then either set up an ambush or take someone down), but that’s only part of the experience. As you work your way through the surprisingly short campaign, you’ll travel through various locations befriending defecting key members as well as taking out those who stand in your way. Just like Danganronpa V3, the ‘V2’ within the title isn’t there for show, your mission is to prevent the Nazi V2 rocket from falling into the wrong hands, whatever the cost. ![]() Our protagonist is a soldier known as Karl Fairburne, an elite sniper who has been dropped into enemy territory during the Germans’ final stand. Technically, it’s a reimagining of the first game is it’s set in the same place and time but with a different narrative. Sniper Elite V2 is the second game within the Sniper Elite franchise, yet it has its own self-contained story so you don’t need any prior knowledge of the original game in order to enjoy it. ![]()
