Honestly the graphics are so flat and last last gen too. If you're going to make the same game over and over again atleast knock the grqphics out the park like COD or something.
you say that like its a bad thing - I do wish they would ramp up the graphics and change the war setting but these games are still great for what they are
These games are fun and I like that they don't do yearly releases with the franchise with that said I'm hoping Rebellion does a new Era of war like Vietnam or maybe a cold war storyline.
I don't know they ever will. Killing Nazis onscreen is widely accepted, whereas 'modern sensibilities' would take serious umbrage with 'colonizers', 'playing the invading, occupying force', etc. Also WWII has many dynamic theatres for battle. Give me Stalingrad, the Asia Pacific theatre ... much left to explore, all the while still able to couch your narrative as 'battling EVIL!'
It kinda surprises me with how violent the xray kills are that they haven't expanded the visuals more. You will shoot someone in the back of the head, see the entire front of the skull demolished the when the xray is over his head just has a tiny bullet hole
I do think it kinda stagnated a lot too. If I recall 5 even removed shrapnel deaths from shooting grenades (or at least they were broken when I played). I think there was a lot of opportunity to expand, like imagine lower caliber guns getting X-rays that show the bullets ricocheting off bones, having visual bone particles out of X-ray, more stuff for the body, the ability to show more organs per X-ray, and maybe even a rewind feature like the hunting games
Have you ever tried to accurately animate and code a realistic depiction of someone getting domed while also keeping it to a level where the game isn’t released with an Adults Only rating?
@@5115neo they could do the route of the last of us series using pre-made variations based on direction of impact which isn't an adult only game. Frankly that's a bad argument when you consider the gore in games like mortal kombat which are also not adult only
@@gumbodawg5793 Because it's simply not the same game, new stories, soundtrack, mechanics and improvements, Sniper Elite for example has improved with larger and more open maps, more dynamic missions, more freedom and multiple paths as well as more customization, I don't think unique franchises need to change, it's just about improving between each game.
@@manoel6728 Yes I know, my comment isn’t meant to be taken that literally, they have to change things otherwise no one would buy the new games of course, I just mean they all look very similar
I love Rebellion and their games BUT this seems like an oversized Sniper Elite 5 expansion. Should have been priced at $40 not $60. The fact it is released on XBOX One and PS4 kind of shows that. Will wait for sale.
These games are great fun, but NOT for 60 dollars. These are perfect 40 dollar games. They feel a bit old because of that aging engine, and they aren't all that long.
0:36 “Harry hawkman, cousin of the haktuah girl” 😂. I almost dropped my coffee. How do you come up with these lines. Great review as always. Have my like
I disagree, although it's the bullet part more than the kill part. I find it takes too long to get there, so it becomes boring, at least it did in the earlier Snipers I played. I don't know if this is an option in newer versions but for me it would be better to quickly skip through the slowmo bullet and just get to the close up of the hit. You know, the interesting bit.
I want a sniper elite set in Stalingrad where you play a russian sniper in defense of the city from invading germans… or maybe pacific theater it would be interesting to play and hide in the jungle
Maybe they avoid depicting anything on the eastern front in order to not "make the soviets look good". Everyone wants a game with a Stalingrad map, but they just refuse to do it. It's hard to find anything besides political reasons at this point.
When the Russians aren't killing Ukrainians or some other people, that might be possible. I'd play a Stalingrad mission, but I can also imagine the libtard backlash on X too. Not worth it.
I love these games but for the love of all that is holy they NEED to improve the animations, enemy AI and a handful of other issues. AA does not have to equal poor quality, especially in a series running so long. The throwing and climbing animations are inexcusably bad, they look bad compared to even splintercell Blacklist from 13 years ago. Come on.
Cheers Karak. Loved the first couple of these games but for me they never seem to change enough to warrant getting a newer version. While there are areas that have improved, it could easily be a remaster of the first game with new maps. I'm sure for some that will be enough and that's fine for them.
sniper elite games are always super fun, they have a system that works. The game doesn't really change too much from title to title, and that's fine. Sniper games are one of the few games I have no issues buying full price.
Small maps will kill this game. The biggest issue with the early games was the tight linear maps. The reason 3 kicked off so well was because it opened the game up, 4 changed things to be more Hitman like, and 5 refined it to beautifully. It seems like the new studio just walked 4 steps back with no steps forward.
Honestly, if it works it works. People love the Sniper Elite series and if they can squeeze out one more game in this settings, why not. I do hope they change it up a bit, I'm sure they've also gotten a bit tired of the WW2 theme but let's see what they can come up with after Atomfall.
I always play these games the same, sneak stealth kill everyone, throw their body in a bush/haybale, & repeat. It sounds boring but It's always fun stalking and planning out how to disassemble a map.
I really like the Invasion Mechanic they introduced back a few titles. If you know the map inside and out you could determine where the person had been and have alot of fun 😃
These are perfect for playing while listening to MGS soundtracks. The mood and atmosphere they create align so well, making it even more immersive and enjoyable.
They really stick to the formula that works and that’s fantastic (take notes BF and CoD), but they really need to do a setting shift. WW1, Vietnam, Korea, hell a Winter War game where you play as the White Death would be right up the series alley!
Next project might be SE6. Unless they're gonna do another zombie game. Or VR game... Then SE6 comes out and it's still PS4 quality but with a few new features.
I've been a huge fan of the Sniper Elite franchise going back to the first title that came out for PC back in 2005. I've finished every entry ever since then. At its core, it presents the same slow motion bullet/x-ray shot, which is satisfying. However, at the same time, I don't know if I want to spend $70 for an experience that's mostly the same as the prior 6 releases. On top of that, Sniper Elite Resistance has some issues as you've already mentioned. I'll most likely buy the game, but only after a decent price drop. There are other titles that I'm looking forward to playing way more than Sniper Elite Resistance such as, Kingdom Come Deliverance II, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Doom the Dark Ages. With that aside, I really appreciate the honest, unbiased, and detailed review! Thanks! God bless and stay safe!
I love the X-Ray kill cam, but there's no need for the enemies to literally be treated like Mortal Kombat characters the way the X-ray shows their eyeballs and jaw shattering, and then you walk up to their corpse and it's completely whole and intact. Like, not even a bullet hole. That just sucks the joy out of things and it's been that way ever since the beginning. It's been TWENTY YEARS, Rebellion! There's no way this is an engine limitation, since Zombie Army does it just fine.
It's because zombie gore is different to human gore, the newest dead island ran into that issue with their new gore system, they would get an adult rating
I love the Sniper Elite games. I don't always have time to blow hours on a game so it's great to just jump into a game without having to recall a thousand different key combinations. However, I swear they haven't made any graphical changes for the last three games and that will have me waiting for a sale.
This has to be something a smaller team worked on while they have something big going on for 6. Id love to see a modern setting for 6 in Iraq/Afghanistan
Me and my buddy always play through the campaign together. All of the missions are actually side objectives, the MAIN objective is being the one who gets the farthest kill on that specific map.
Ive loved these games since the first. These are THE sniper games of gaming. Ive beaten all the other games in the genre, they arent bad, just not the same. Only thing i wish is, get out of WW2 for once lol. Level designs are hands down one of the best in gaming.
@@marekstruhar5574Sniper Elite 4 yes he’s right on that. V2 was more linear, 3 was slightly more open, and 5 walked back too much of 4. Out of all the games 4 really grasped the open sandbox missions.
It goes to show the power of those systems! It really is amazing how much optimization that Rebellion puts into it's games. I know they have their bugs, but they run great for how they look!
@@DerekDudage I agree they are powerful Machine's but I want games to be made for current gen only now, I want to see what that would look like. It's time now.
@@rhysmyatt5136 Agreed. In the year 2025 they should be developing for current hardware. Most games now are, but I am still glad to see a game released here and there on older consoles as well. I feel like it keeps them alive, in a way. Plus a lot of people still have and use a PS4, for example.
I’m pretty sure Sniper Elite 6 has to do with The Pacific side of things. In Sniper Elite 5 you take out a few Japanese Navy officers. If you’re a fan of the franchise you know they tease things in their current game that will follow into their next one.
I never play games on Day one, I also wait 2 months for the updates. But Sniper Elite 5 was my fav game in 2024 so I'm looking forward to playing this.
I pre-ordered this. I’ve been a fan ever since being introduced to part 3 on PS Plus. One of those games where I must kill everyone before finishing a level. 😂 I’m sure this one will fall right in line with the rest.
This should not have been pre ordered by anyone, rushed, lazy cash grab.. and I really like the Sniper Elite games played them all.. absolutely no new mechanics, graphics are exactly the same... Very poor effort
@@ACGreviews In Sniper Elite 5, you can run up on them and fistacuff a couple at once before you lose all your health. But this is on Normal mode where you can take 2 or 3 shots before you die.
It's funny how people love same Zombie games every year but hate a WWII game once every 2-3 years😂 I grew up playing Medal of Honor & OG Call of Duty.. ( Ye, I'm old).. so this game is a must play for me😊😊
@@soldierbreed well there r COD zombies every year... Then there are many yearly zombie releases.. so it's still not overdone according to developers.. so ur point doesn't make sense imo 😂
With metal gear solid and splinter cell AWOL . This is finally shining . 5 was epic loved the big maps and open routine But I feel going fowards now they need to change the formula of story . Date setting . Maybe 60/70s theme
I almost purchased this last night until I saw your review. Having played the earlier titles, I too am very disappointed that after all these years we get a rubberstamp of the last two games. I will for sure wait until it goes on sale. Thank you for saving me some money. I'll replay SE5 until then.
I may be in the minority, but I loved Sniper Elite 5. To me, the formula was near perfect - it is not complicated, (like some shooters have become) I love the X-ray shots, love setting traps, and enjoyed the different maps. In a lot of cases, people have tried to completely reinvent the wheel on certain games, and folks have not liked the results. I believe that if you have a winning formula, you don't completely change it. My opinion only; but different scenery (maps), adding the trip wires, improving movement, adding weapons or attachments (skins), letting you create your own player, (customization) or possibly (as someone suggested) making a modern installment are the only things that could make it even better. As it stands, Sniper Elite remains one of my favorite shooter games.
I love these. I don't even care that it's the same thing every time. Stealth kills and sniper cam never gets old. Always play with the hardest possible settings and replay levels until I can do them perfectly, like a puzzle. Glad it's on gamepass.
I think the Cold War would be a great idea. They could put Karl somewhere behind the Iron Curtain or in the middle of a proxy war in Latin America or Africa etc.
I can't wait for this game, per-loading it now. Game pass has been fire lately. I still believe game pass is a must for any gamer. There are many games I've played that I really enjoyed that I probably would have never purchased. I do buy the game eventually, usually after it's discounted.
Its got bugs in it, i was seen thru a wall, i think a bit of leg poked thru the wall and the gestapo dude saw me. I also got caught on an invisible wall at the bottom of a staircase and had to find a new route. I was a bit surprised tho that i wasn’t immediately hit with a patch to download, so thats a positive. Loving the game so far to the point i hurt myself by playing it too many hours. The addition of the new very easy level would have been great for me when i started out on these games years ago!! And it should bring in many more people with crap reflexes, like me :)
I love sniper elite, but I'm bored with world war 2. Changing the main character is a good enough reason for me to skip this one. I'm not even remotely interested. I really hope they do a S:E in a new era and war.
It’s always fun and enjoyable. I don’t expect it to reinvent the wheel. I just want to have a good time. This looks as fun and enjoyable as ever. I didn’t know I could play it co-op though. That might be even more fun.
I'd rather have real gore than the X-ray gore. The latter is cool but if the guards look like they have no real damage to them then they feel pointless
This game honestly sucks, I thought I would have fun but I’m not. feels clunky ganky and unpolished. There’s only 8 maps 2 of which are the same Dam map but 1 with flack guns. So the traversal makes no sense ya you can shimmy up a pipe 4 stories but can’t valt over a 2ft high rock wall 🤷♂️ go figure. If this came out in like 2015 it would have been ok but unpolished. it’s downright bad for today. Go buy ghost recon wild lands or breakpoint way better.
Having bought and played to death Sniper Elite 5, I was very reluctant to get my wallet out again for a very similar game, but luckily it's on Game Pass, so that's solved that for me. Looking forward to playing now.
Surprised they still went with France. The gameplay is fun as always but the maps/setting have a lot to do with how stale it is starting to feel. I think an Eastern Front or Pacific story would be great. North Africa was legendary in 3

I'm just glad Atomfall is coming from Rebellion so it at least breaks it up a bit. I think they deserve another crack at Aliens Vs Predator.

TBF the biggest complaint with zombie games is that zombies have been done to death. Don't think your point holds up imo.
@@soldierbreed well there r COD zombies every year... Then there are many yearly zombie releases.. so it's still not overdone according to developers.. so ur point doesn't make sense imo 😂
& brothers in arms
With metal gear solid and splinter cell AWOL . This is finally shining . 5 was epic loved the big maps and open routine
But I feel going fowards now they need to change the formula of story . Date setting . Maybe 60/70s theme
I've played the Sniper Elite games for years. I just started playing the Sniper Ghost Warrior Contract games and like them just a little bit more.
I already have it downloaded from Xbox Game Pass. I loved Sniper Elite 5. And will 100% this one.
Would love to see a Sniper Elite in Vietnam
I almost purchased this last night until I saw your review. Having played the earlier titles, I too am very disappointed that after all these years we get a rubberstamp of the last two games. I will for sure wait until it goes on sale. Thank you for saving me some money. I'll replay SE5 until then.
Atleast its on gamepass
yes very worth checking out if someone can
@@ACGreviews That's where I'll be getting it!
@@ACGreviewshow short is it compared to the previous games?
Looks like sniper elite on a budget. Well, I'm on a budget, too, so I'll wait for a sale.
Why not Xbox Game Pass?
@@BillHicks420 probably plays on Playstation where they have to pay a premium for every new game.
It got old for me, I turned off xray cam in SE4
This is like turning off fatalities in Mortal Kombat 😭😭😭
@@WH250398 I know lol, but I just got tired of it. I still use kill cam, but I prefer it without xray. In past games SE games, I never turned it off.
I wish they would add exploding heads like sniper ghost warrior contracts
Looks a good game, maybe they will make a modern day game in future.
I may be in the minority, but I loved Sniper Elite 5. To me, the formula was near perfect - it is not complicated, (like some shooters have become) I love the X-ray shots, love setting traps, and enjoyed the different maps. In a lot of cases, people have tried to completely reinvent the wheel on certain games, and folks have not liked the results. I believe that if you have a winning formula, you don't completely change it. My opinion only; but different scenery (maps), adding the trip wires, improving movement, adding weapons or attachments (skins), letting you create your own player, (customization) or possibly (as someone suggested) making a modern installment are the only things that could make it even better. As it stands, Sniper Elite remains one of my favorite shooter games.
Funny what the French resistance looks like. Historical accuracy right there like the previous opus.
I love these. I don't even care that it's the same thing every time. Stealth kills and sniper cam never gets old. Always play with the hardest possible settings and replay levels until I can do them perfectly, like a puzzle. Glad it's on gamepass.
Dang I was looking forward to it
I think the Cold War would be a great idea. They could put Karl somewhere behind the Iron Curtain or in the middle of a proxy war in Latin America or Africa etc.
I wish they would do a battle stealth missions similar to the opening to Metal gear solid 4.
Help an offensive force progress across the map.
I can't wait for this game, per-loading it now. Game pass has been fire lately. I still believe game pass is a must for any gamer. There
are many games I've played that I really enjoyed that I probably would have never purchased. I do buy the game eventually, usually after it's discounted.
It's almost like some of these games could be an expansion. I would like to see different time periods
What upper do you use?
Its got bugs in it, i was seen thru a wall, i think a bit of leg poked thru the wall and the gestapo dude saw me. I also got caught on an invisible wall at the bottom of a staircase and had to find a new route. I was a bit surprised tho that i wasn’t immediately hit with a patch to download, so thats a positive.
Loving the game so far to the point i hurt myself by playing it too many hours. The addition of the new very easy level would have been great for me when i started out on these games years ago!! And it should bring in many more people with crap reflexes, like me :)
I love sniper elite, but I'm bored with world war 2. Changing the main character is a good enough reason for me to skip this one. I'm not even remotely interested. I really hope they do a S:E in a new era and war.
It has been hammered to death
Great review as always!
Thanks a bunch!
The real question is can we make 3000 meter long shots?
Well damn not sure that long. Sup Omar hope you are doing awesome
@ been busy with work lately but doing good
It’s always fun and enjoyable. I don’t expect it to reinvent the wheel. I just want to have a good time. This looks as fun and enjoyable as ever. I didn’t know I could play it co-op though. That might be even more fun.
I'd rather have real gore than the X-ray gore.
The latter is cool but if the guards look like they have no real damage to them then they feel pointless
This game honestly sucks, I thought I would have fun but I’m not. feels clunky ganky and unpolished. There’s only 8 maps 2 of which are the same Dam map but 1 with flack guns. So the traversal makes no sense ya you can shimmy up a pipe 4 stories but can’t valt over a 2ft high rock wall 🤷♂️ go figure. If this came out in like 2015 it would have been ok but unpolished. it’s downright bad for today. Go buy ghost recon wild lands or breakpoint way better.
I think it's time to bring this series into the modern age of combat, or any other time period, anything but World War II!
I am not the traditional player. I can't stand the X-Ray feature. I honestly have it turned off and will do the same with Resistance.
Makes sense. Its not for everyone thats for sure
I love these games but the first thing I do is to turn off the kill cams. I just find them very annoying and disrupting to game flow and immersion.
Lol I nearly have a heart attack if I'm playing coop and sneaking around and suddenly it goes to my buddies kill cam.
Love these games! Really want them to go into the pacific or vietnam wars next
I’d love a Vietnam one where you play both sides
An enjoyable review man! Waiting for my pre-ordered copy, the day after my surgery on the 29th.
Hope you recover well and congrats on the new game!
@ACGreviews Thanks brother, having a big tumor & my Thyroid removed. The perfect game to play after such a procedure!
Hang on comrade !
Having bought and played to death Sniper Elite 5, I was very reluctant to get my wallet out again for a very similar game, but luckily it's on Game Pass, so that's solved that for me. Looking forward to playing now.
Surprised they still went with France. The gameplay is fun as always but the maps/setting have a lot to do with how stale it is starting to feel. I think an Eastern Front or Pacific story would be great. North Africa was legendary in 3
They need to update the xray visuals, it’s been years. They should be more detailed and gory by now.
This series is amazing but for newbies you can honestly just by SE 3 for £1 or so and that'll keep you going for days.
I think it would be cool if the put discount for owners of Sniper Elite 5 + Season Pass owners...
Elon DLC when?
Pre-downloaded already!
I know! Can’t wait for tomorrow, which starts two days early access!! ❤🎉
@@kevinhewston5621 I have it on gamepass, so I guess I have a wait a couple of more days! Clean the area for me, will ya?
It's worse than 5, 4 was peek.
if they put effort in these games and maybe a new lead designer it could be so much more than a copy and paste shooter
They really need to change things up The series is getting stale.
