They should expand into the Cold War. All the secret spy gadgets and such would help them with new features and ideas. This would also allow for more settings as well and different wars such as Korea & Vietnam
We went ahead and bought deluxe edition bc me and my friends have played this since the fanbase was so small everyone recognized eachother 😂 always had a blast on multiplayer
@@vedantchandra3289 wow? 😂 Most of the time we use gamepass and this one is launching on gamepass but we want all the extra stuff and we don't really buy games so it's not that bad plus one of the only games we all play and actually enjoy it
What has allways bugged me about this game is when you see the bullet making a humongous hole between their eyes and then you walk up and see the solider is undamaged with some blood around him.
Sniper Elite is one of those series that is so enjoyable to play that I'd subscribe to a lifetime of map and mission updates for eternity and they wouldn't ever need to upgrade the graphics.
For those of you calling Sniper Elite 5 bad and accusing Sniper Elite 5 of being a reskin which it most certainly IS NOT! Let me ask you people this: you would rather choose to play cod vanguard and battlefiled 2042 instead of sniper elite 5? Lets clear up something else too, sniper elite 5's gameplay mechanics and graphics are NOT outdated and ps3 quality!(I can't believe some of you are saying that!) Sniper Elite 5's gameplay and graphics are not only better than sniper elite 4, but authentic for a world war 2 game.
I’m really enjoying this game! I’ve always been interested in the franchise but never got around to checking it out. Thanks gamepass! I’ll definitely support future dlc.
@@danishjumari2870 more like if ign says its a 7 its a 2 or 3... The sniper elite 2 and 3 were the best ones, and 4 was where it kinda started to get iffy, but now the bones dont move with the bullets, the bodies just show the inside of the body they no longer have any actual effects...They DOWNGRADED from the rest of all the other Sniper elite games, wont be buying another one of these half a** games
What's with all the negativity, and calling it sniper repeat, really? So you're saying they should have changed the entire series to where it's no longer recognizable lol. A sequel should stay true to the formula while delivering improvements around the board, saying this game is a 7 is a joke, the game excels in all areas compared to past entries. It's a solid 9, but these games shine the most with all the HUD turned off and played on the hardest setting. It's one of the few games where you increase the difficulty and the AI actually gets better, not just turning enemies into a bunch of bullet sponges. You can also customize the difficulty in every aspect that you want.
@DreSaidSo well you guys lap it up when COD and Battlefield just recycle the same thing over and over and those games have a lot less innovation than this.
If they moved from WW2 to Vietnam for Sniper Elite 6 & 7, they could have an aging Karl pass the torch to Carlos Hathcock, which was a real sniper from Vietnam. He is the sniper famous for taking out a Vietnam sniper THROUGH THE SCOPE by aiming for the glint from the enemy’s scope. Just a thought!
They should just use on big open world map. Combine this game with the Saboteur game would be the best thing ever. An WW2 open world game with this gameplay is perfect.
Can't wait to play it on lauch. But yeah, from graphics to gameplay, Sniper Elite could definitely use an overhaul. Just like what they did with HItman.
Nah, not V2. 3-5 look quite the same, but that’s also a symptom of 5 being held back due to being cross-Gen. 3 is a big change in gameplay from 2, and 4 makes big improvements on 3. 5 seems like they’re just trying to perfect what they had in 4. I don’t expect anything gamechanging in the series until it becomes current-Gen only
Sniper Elite 2 was practically a game on rails, very little stealth in it. 3 was were proper stealth was available, with 4 & 5 being big improvements with much more features.
this seems like the devs testing at how low effort they can go and still get away with it except this time they knew they couldn't charge full price for this
The next Sniper Elite game should be where Karl is attached to the 504th Parachute Regiment in the 82nd Airborne Division on Operation Market Garden in Holland 17 Sept, 1944
They need to get away from world war two. And get more modern! Also for the multi player, cape outfits would be nice. Also the maps need to be a lot more bigger! NO FLASH. And NO RUNNING more than 20 secs!
A very barebones take here... All you have to do is watch a couple of the actual professional grade full scale reviews of SE5 from channels like ACG to see just how half-assed some of these IGN "reviews" have become in comparison...This isn't necessarily a bad take, it's just more of a seemingly rushed single difficulty, default setting, campaign and co-op preview than it is a full review.
They need a Sniper Elite set in Stalingrad just because some of the most famous marksmen in WW2 fought un Stalingrad or even set a Sniper Elite in the winter war
One of my biggest issues is the graphics, they look dated. It's not unreasonable to expect a complete and more up to date graphics upgrade. Object geometry looks very basic, and textures are flat. It looks like SE3 to me. I'm playing it on Sniper Elite difficulty setting which makes progress a bit slower.
They should expand into the Cold War. All the secret spy gadgets and such would help them with new features and ideas. This would also allow for more settings as well and different wars such as Korea & Vietnam
Sniper Elite 7 should really be about the Korean War and Sniper Elite 8 could be in Vietnam
Try the other Sniper game something called Sniper Ghost of Terminator Robocops or similar.. it's lower budget but it is modern day
Would defeat the purpose of being a Sniper Elite game
Imagine a 50-60 year old Karl just sneaking around a Soviet base...

pretty much. 2022 game release, still looks like it came out in 2015

Finally a game that evolve a lot of the old formula, creating something more replayable and deep: IGN 7
Also IGN with Cyberpunk 2077: 9

I’ve never finished a Sniper Elite game cause the excitement and fun wear off really quickly.

Sniper elite 3 is probably the best in terms of excitement imo
They need a complete new setting like Vietnam or the Cold War or a mordern day

Gets repetitive after 5 additions though
It's the animations and AI that doesn't do it for me. Those two things make the gameplay get old very quick.

@DreSaidSo well you guys lap it up when COD and Battlefield just recycle the same thing over and over and those games have a lot less innovation than this.
Jump from 3 to 4 was considerable. Way more freedom and map size, it changed into true sandbox. Instead of rather linear and small missions of 1-3
Is that Mont St Michel? Might be worth it just for a virtual tour of this absolute gem
And……. IGN’s love for 7 never ends
Guess the scale of ign scoring is between 7 and 10 😂

Should've called it Silent pistol elite 5 first 2 levels barely any areas to use a sniper rifle without alerting everyone.
If they moved from WW2 to Vietnam for Sniper Elite 6 & 7, they could have an aging Karl pass the torch to Carlos Hathcock, which was a real sniper from Vietnam. He is the sniper famous for taking out a Vietnam sniper THROUGH THE SCOPE by aiming for the glint from the enemy’s scope. Just a thought!

Been a fan since the first one on ps2. really glad they kept it the same and didn't ruin it with some nonsense.

Sniper elite 5 graphics are amazing dont know what u mean
It’s great, it’s just not groundbreaking. Sounds like a 8/10, not a 7/10, imo.

Yes every story is self contained each is new story for each setting, story is just there it doesn’t really matter.
No, play Sniper Elite 4 First.
“More like Sniper Repeat than Sniper Elite.” Top shelf take, mate 😂
The next Sniper Elite game should be where Karl is attached to the 504th Parachute Regiment in the 82nd Airborne Division on Operation Market Garden in Holland 17 Sept, 1944

the hitman series and the sniper elite series should just freakin' kiss already
Graphics definitely feel a bit dated for a next gen release. Animations and facial movements in cutscene were lacking. Gameplay is fun tho.
Hopefully they fight the Japanese in the next one. Would be cool since the Japanese liked to hide in trees and snipe a lot as well. Could be cool
ah yes every game needs to reinvent the wheel.
