Sniper: Ghost Warrior is getting a sequel, despite the first one being absolutely dreadful.
For some reason (possibly due to its generic macho name), the game sold ludicrous amounts of copies in the United Kingdom, getting into the charts and staying there for quite a while. Of course, we don't know how many gamers swiftly returned the awful game, but those first sales are what count, and so we have a sequel.
City Interactive will be using CryEngine 3 and aims to bring the game to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The first game is currently awaiting a PS3 port in February, which will arrive with a number of fixes to the original code. Whether those fixes make the thing playable remains to be seen.
This is a sad day for videogames.

The online was barren tho. Barren of players like the cast of sex and the city are barren of talent, a decent script writer and a soul.
Also, FUCK THAT DAMN DOG AND HIS CHUCKLES, Ghost Warrior Sniper Face will put bullets through his big white eyes.
Plus this isnt the first time a shitty game got a sequel. Look at Fable, it's gotten TWO SEQUELS.
Honestly? No I dont think it will be a good game. But hey, you never know. The team that made Devil May Cry 3 was the same team that made Devil May Cry 2.
You're probably right and I demoed Sniper for a little bit and didn't think it was necessarily bad but just something that didnt catch much interest from me, just thought I'd make that point just because I've seen crazier shit happen.
I wonder if there's anything to Sniping being particularly popular in the UK?
Never compare Sniper to the first Two Worlds.
What I actually said was that if a shitty game like Two Worlds can get a sequel, then so can an average game with little to no fanbase and a lot of glitches that ruin the overall experience. Therefore a surprise shouldn't really be in order here.
Oh right, this is the internet.
My bad.
Everybody comes to look at CODMW2, COD:BlOps, Medal of Honor and several other $60 dudebro war games - then they see this 'Sniper: Ghost Warrior', which looks incredibly similar, for $40. To them, it's an easy choice. I seriously see at least one copy sold every day. It's crazy.
*sigh* because you've done such a good job at making your point in these comments

Turns out, not too hard at all. After my very first session with the game I knew I'd just been robbed. Ah well. Sniper remains a tantalizing concept in need of some talent to realise it. There is a good game to be had in there, somewhere, but this one really wasn't it.
As someone else already said in this thread - if Two Worlds can get a sequel, nobody should be too shocked this rancid pile of turd also gets a second crack of the whip. We'll see how that works out for the publisher second time around, but don't expect to find me quite so willing to be kicked in the nuts again...
Exactly, We bought the game to support sniper based fps.
