Back in 2005, a little game called Sniper Elite was released on the original Xbox, PS2 and PC. With a name as silly as that, many weren't expecting much from the third-person shooter which placed an emphasis on stealth. As many who decided to played Sniper Elite will tell you, however, the game was a blast and they've been looking forward to a sequel ever since; Sniper Elite V2 is that sequel.

505 Games has put out a new developer diary going into the game's stealth aspect, as well as showing off some incredible slow-motion bullet cam kills that can get incredibly gory. 505 has also released a new trailer for the game; funnily enough it ends with another look at just how graphic the bullet cam can get.

As someone who never played the original game, the fact that these new gameplay and developer diary videos have me not only interested but wanting to see more is a very promising sign.

Stealth, sniping and slaughter?

I'm sold.

Wow, this looks great. I though the first Sniper game was aCoD rip off FPS. This sequel reminds me if the games ten years ago, when WW2 wasn't shunned and shooters had variety.

You thought the first game was a CoD rip off but the sequel that looks identical bar updated graphics is somehow different and not a throwback to an era where your variety was also when WW2 games dominated most genres.

Hah. =/

I am a huge fan of the first Sniper Elite, so I cannot wait for this. The gameplay so far looks like what I'd expect which is good. I sort of think the xray effect on the bullet-cam looks cheesier then the normal gore from the first game though.

@Zero - I thought it was clear that I dismissed the game before knowing any specifics about it. Also, the variety to which I was referring was for gameplay, not setting.

@ZeroDown, @Arttemis

Let's give Arttemis a little bit of credit, he probably has Sniper Elite (The Amazing Third Person Shooter) confused with Sniper: Ghost Warrior (The Not So Bad First Person Shooter)

As someone who likes sneaking around and shooting at things from a long way off, I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of this if it comes out any good.

Liked the first one. Oddly satisfying getting a headshot after predicting the trajectory yourself. And I'd be lying if I said the x-ray alone wasn't getting me interested.

Looks good. I'm glad its third person perspective.

One of the rarer story mode couch co-op shooters from back in the day. Had a lot of fun with it, can't wait for V2.
