Nice! Played 3 and loved it so yeah def gettinf this day one.
@Shamrock Physical release later? The article seems to suggest both physical and digital are planned for next month. Unless that's wrong which sucks. Cause I want to pick up a boxed copy.
I've always been more into the nazi zombie army games made using sniper elite engine myself
Will be interesting to see how the switch version of sniper elite holds up
HA, I was JUST looking around to see if a date had been confirmed for this. I love playing this game with the ghillie suit, and I absolutely love big wide open outdoor maps in shooters. Day 1. I'm looking forward to gyro controls too, as they work beautifully in the other Sniper Elite games.
@ritouf Really depends on you. Do you like shooters? Do you prefer fast paced Doom style shooters, or slower paced, strategic shooters (which is what this is). This is also kind of a stealth game and sort of feels a bit like a World War II style Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Solid (without the wacky story of MGS obviously). The difficulty of the game is also extremely customizable. You can go for a simple, fun difficulty with no bullet ballistics and plenty of tactical assistance, or you can go for a full on simulation difficulty with no HUD, no assistance of any kind, etc. You can also adjust the difficulty of things separately so you could say, have high difficulty enemies but full tactical assistance and moderate bullet ballistics. The game gives you a ton of freedom for how you like to play. It is primarily a thinking person's shooter though so it's not the best idea to rush into fights all guns blazing.
Also I believe MSRP is $40 rather than $60 so that helps a bit.
The three was very good, I will wait for sale, but they did a very good work on later ones
Still trying to finish 1, 2, 3 versions....
Bad timing for me since I'll be picking up a PS5 a few days before this releases. I will eventually order 2 physical copies of this game even though I prefer Zombie Army instead. Hopefully Zombie Army 4 comes to Switch sometime next year.
Maaan, if Hyrule Warriors wasn't coming I'd get this. I'm going to Buy It later later, physical
@Shamrock same thoughts here!! I doubted with 3 but this one seems like a winner.
I’m actually really hyped for this!!! I just recently became a fan of this series and while V-2 Remastered is a bit rough on Switch (mind you its totally playable) the rest of the series including Zombie Army Trilogy is super clean on Switch!!!! I can’t wait for this!!!! Maybe we’ll get Zombie Army 4 as well in the future.....
Wow in my Italy! 😁
Already got this game pre-ordered enjoyed Sniper Elite 2 and 3.
@Joker13z at least in the UK the physical is available to pre order at Amazon and game
I've just finished SE3 on Switch and really loved it. A very good port of a great game that gives you amazing level of freedom and lots of tactical action.
The whole series is boring honestly. I love the bullet and X-Ray cam, but I could never finish any of these games.
@Brummieendo90 Hmm damn. Yeah no physical preorders open yet here in the states but it's in the eshop. Thanks for the info.
@Joker13z I pre-ordered physically from Best Buy about two days ago.
@Giygas_95 Oh yeah you're right. I was looking last week and couldn't find anything but it's on both amazon and best buy now. Thanks for letting me know. I just assumed it still wasn't available.
@Joker13z No problem! Happy Nazi testicle hunting.
Until 3 came out I'd missed this series entirely. I enjoyed v3 so much, I'm going to hold out for the physical release of this one
does this includes the expansion?
@SDSU619 V2 and 3 included all DLC and updates I'm pretty sure so I think it's safe to assume this will also.
