People keep calling this a "budget" game, or even a "low-budget" game and I can't help but wonder what would these guys do if they had more funding. This game literally has tons more content than Destiny(one of the most expensive games in history) and it also looks pretty great and fun to play. A lot of triple A titles with massive budgets turn out to be shit.
Rick Sanchez games out like far cry 5 Is what people mean by low budget. That game is amazing. This game is low budget. It's just a fact. It is just as much money as fc4 and 5. But no were near as good. You can just tell
@@thanosbustedinyourmum far cry 5 was my last ever far cry, what a shit game honest at the start I was loving it but the more I played the more I felt distant with that gsme, there's something about that game that I just quite put my finger on it but it's just not as good as far cry 4, anyone wanting to play far cry 5 my advice is save your money and get a game worth playing over and over again
+Tyrone The terrible If you say it is not as good as far cry 4, then i'm definitely will pass. Since my fav even though people like FC2 but I would go with FC3 over 1,2 and 4.
Tyrone The Terrible yea I love the 3rd and 4th far cry, the 2nd one looks super fun too but won’t ever get a chance to play it. But 5 was just weird man. Same as you, I was loving it at first, playing with my friends, fishing, doing all the fun shit. But it got boring pretty quick, I only played thru once, then restarted but can’t even bring myself to play thru the first 2 or 3 missions once you get off that island. Don’t even get me started on the stupid “bliss” and those dudes that would roll on you and you couldn’t do anything, then you gotta run thru Jacobs house maze or whatever the fuck that was. Shit was so annoying..I played far cry 4 thru like 3 times and am 3/4 of the way thru on my 4th time lol. I love that game! But now RDR2 is all I’ve been playing now since it dropped. I’m done with the far cry series. The darkest hour dlc was pretty fun I really liked that, but other 2 were shit. Also I don’t support greedy game companies, and finding out that they are charging real money for more stash space on the Division 2 was the last straw. I won’t even buy another Ubisoft game if they go ahead with that. Even series I like like Assassins Creed or Far Cry. Can’t say I won’t buy wildlands if they make a 2nd one, cause I really like that game too.
It's not a "budget game" it's a decent sized game done well. The industry is becoming so inflated and getting closer to collapse because of heavily inflated marketing and unfinished AAA games bombing. This games budget area is where the decent games tend to get made.
Searching for about 30 minutes for the other player in the hardcore multiplayer sniper mode to destroy his testcales on a very long distance is a top pleasure.This multiplayer is very unique.I like it.
And check the kill that comes just afterwards too! Sniper bullet enters the guys head, then an empty bullet "casing" comes out of the exit wound! What IS this magic!?
+Recounter If you're really saying this, you should pause exactly at 1 second earlier : 3:59. The bullet doesn't travel fast enough to reach the end of the barrel as the recoil animation play. This makes the bullet "pass" through the end of the rifle cannon's side (and in this case also the silencer's) You see the "sparkle" going out of the rifle even before the said bullet reach the end of the rifle's cannon, which normally, follows the bullet shot. This is a mistake they allowed and implemented as they cut the "shot" action sequence to allow the player act faster after the shot.
SE games are good, but they need to move on from the world war 2 games. Now this would be amazing in somewhere like Afghanistan with a Barrett 50 cal. Or just something upto date in general.
I recently picked up this game and have probably already put just as much if not more time into it as MGS 5. As a long time fan of the MGS series I found this game to actually be better in my honest opinion. It does bullet physics better and while the plot is simpler. I find the "low budget" to be refreshing because core game play of the game isn't muddied by extra unnecessary content. Again to compare it to MGS 5 for instance.

Also, while I find Kojima's zany plots intriguing they also tended to leave something to be desired with weird esoteric open endings that left you scratching your head much of the time; which is only even more true with MGS 5's ending. Is Sniper Elite going to be the game every gamer wants to pick up? Probably not, but what it does, it does so well; that anyone interested in the stealth/action/espionage genre would be foolish not to check it out. Some people find the kill cam to be a little too graphic supposedly as it conveys pain in such a way as to possibly elicit empathic reactions, but I can't help but find only joy as I slaughter Nazi's. Also, despite the open ended nature of the map layouts there are lots of good paths you can take; it feels natural, open ended, and sort of linear all at the same time. I actually pirated this game initially to check it out, but I liked it so much I bought it.
lkjyuiop Then you’re an asshole. If you NEVER pay for games you cannot bitch about shitty games. What? Did you want a pat on the back for being a thief? Want us to tell you you’re cool? Why even include that if that’s not what you wanted?
I've been having fun with the stealth in the game. I've been playing Sniper Elite since the PS2 original. I had my doubts at first since it looked similar to 3 but the sandbox design is awesome for a game like this! I definitely recommend it to those who are patient or who like stealth games. I would also say to play first on Sniper Elite difficulty since it gives a good bit of challenge.
I have 2 and 3, but I haven't finished 2 yet. Even so, it is a lot of fun and I will definitely be getting 4. These games really shine when you have wide open spaces so you can go wild and snipe from anywhere.
Talks about how hard mode is best way to play. Yet all footage is with bullet path on. Half the fun of these games come from having that off and knowing where to aim. It is a lot more satisfying when you make that long range headshot without being told where to aim.
I agree, I thought the same thing. Like he read other reviews online about how upping the difficulty makes it a different game but blazed through it on easy.
I had never played SE 1-3, but I am loving SE4. I’ve only finished the first map, but so far it seems pretty accurate with bullet drop, wind effects, and enemy triangulation. Just the right mix of stealth, melee, and achievements.
I've been playing since V2. And the fun as hell. SE3 really wasn't my thing... more for personal reasons. I'm a Desert Storm vet and I'm fucking tired of desert based games. But SE3 was still fun. So when I saw the setting for SE4 I was sold. I bought the gold edition on psn on a sale for 15.99. Best purchase I have ever made. Buckets of fun. In all versions I have to say they are spending their budget in the right place. Not on elaborate cutscenes, but on the actual game experience. I appreciate that and will not hesitate to pull the trigger on SE5. Going to try Zombie Army 4 out next. It may seem like a reskin, but I care. Lol Rebellion is one of my favorite devs now.
I haven't played video games since the Syphon Filter genre. My nephew's 8 year old son brought it and begged me to watch him play. It wasn't long before I told him hand me the controller. I'm hooked, bought it. I only play games on the hardest mode, and this game kicks my ass. I get close to finishing off the level, but I get killed and start all over. I still love it.
So basically it's the same as Sniper Elite 3 with different maps. Game is fun, makes each person who plays it think at some point before doing anything.
Excellent review. Been playing this on and off for 2 years now and still enjoy it when I come back to it. The Authentic modes are a real challenge and online Survival with 3 other players is addictive and fun.
Could you make a before you buy for E.T. for Atari 2600? The previews are praising it as the best game ever made but I want to hear your opinion before I buy it.
Oh how much the series has grown. It turned from a very linear game, to a very non-linear game with a lot of freedom. I think Sniper Elite 4 is the series's prime.
Gonna wait for a sale, I normally like to get the complete game, I have play all the sniper game up until now. I really do like them and have returned to them after finishing them, to play the harder levels. Excellent games.
I just wanna say Seeing a series like this put emphasis on its difficulty is awesome. As you point out it’s not just “enemies take less damage and deal more” they could have just kept it simple or made it all realistic but added mechanics like wind direction depending on the difficulty and even having a custom difficulty should be something considered by more devs today. I’m not saying every game needs it at all like the souls genre is known for its difficulty but it’s definitely more invited for devs to at least consider it in todays age with more gamers preferring easier or hard difficulties.
I've never played any of the Sniper series and saw 3 and 4 on sale for $15 each. I'm glad I bought them. While I haven't started 4 yet, 3 is ridiculously fun.
Imagine if Rebellion had more budget? This company gives you actual improvements with the game successions, from sniper elite 3 there’s a lot of good changes. I can’t wait for sniper elite 5.
I love how people say this is not a AAA game title when I have put more HR's in to the sniper elite games than almost all AAA titles the past few years this beats most AAA easy as its fun and keeps you wanting to play it over and over just for the x ray kills
I just got the game on ps plus, lol I love it actually really fun and I enjoy just waiting for the right time to shoot and then no one knows where that shot came from. That’s awesome and I’m thinking of buying 5
New to the series, quite interested, I was expecting something interesting relating towards progression because as a former rpg player I love games with simple or even intense levels of progression and development, it provides a sense of side goals in mind either essential or useful in various situations giving off a sense of accomplishment and relief
This game seems like a copy and paste of SE3. Nothing has really changed and it feels like this franchise is going the way of COD; the devs seem content in making an uninspired, generic game.
never heard of this game but i enjoy playing stealth games in co op with my friend and i believe we are gonna hit those series soon if not today. Thank you for making this.
Love it!!! Only play it on authentic mode. Getting killed after an hour of play and getting sent back to the beginning of the level makes me a better player. And I love it 😂👽😨
To be honest considering there's not much effort put into the story I'm surprised that the developers have stuck with the world war 2 setting for 4 games now what with the limited sniping arsenal that was present during the era. I know that there is the sniper ghost warrior series but in all honesty those games so far have felt even rougher and lower budget than this series.
Nice video, thank. I personally really loved Sniper Elite 4. I've played SE 2 and 3 as well, and loved them both, but there is something about SE 4 which makes you want to play it again and again. What I consider a great change in SE 4 is the weapons system: for each weapon you can unlock three upgrades by accomplishing specific tasks, and once all thre upgrades are unlocked you can earn Mastery of the weapon by accomplishing another task which unlocks the gold skin for that weapon. I've accomplished the gold skin for every weapon, and while doing this I realized that these challenges were well designed and forced you to learn the pros and cons of each weapon. Unlocking the gold skin for each weapon took me ages, and it was a fun way to replay the whole game with specific tasks in mind - and of course, some levels are better than others for unlocking certain weapon upgrades. For example, some weapons upgrades require you to accomplish 15 or 10 penetration kills. I didn't even know what a penetration kill was, so it forced me to take the habit of reading the feedback you get on screen after each kill (which resumes the type of kill that just occured). I thus learned that penetration kill is a kill where the bullet has gone through some material before hitting the target, and I learned that wood and thin metal surfaces can be penetrated and hit an enemy hiding behind them. These challenges force you to learn SE 4 mechanics in depth, and make you appreaciate the game a lot more - and even made me want to play again SE 2 and 3 to apply my new knowledge of the game. The weapon upgrade challenges also often require you to kill by aiming at specific organs - ie: kidneys, liver, eye, testicles, etc. By carrying out these challenges you learn how these organs can be hit from different angles, and forces you to fine-tune your sniping skills. And of course, Sniper Elite 4, like its predecessors, can be played in 3D steroscopic if you have a 3D TV - which I have and makes the game experience so much better: aiming in 3D is a bit more difficoult, but also more realistic, and the kill-cam is amazing in 3D. I really enjoyed this game, and played it a lot. If you love the genre, and if you enjoyed previous Sniper Elite games, I would advice you to go for it.
GOD I love this game. Endlessly replayable, online multiplayer is terrifying because I'm a scrub, and it just makes you feel so badass. It's a pretty game with great attention to detail. The little stories written for each and every soldier on the maps are an awesome touch. The letters that you find on corpses that make you feel kinda bad are great too, and then you remember that it's a game, and they're Nazis. I just love it so much.
I left a comment of some "before you buy" video recently about how it felt more like a review than a "before you buy". THIS feels like a "before you buy" and lese than a review! Both are great videos though! :)
I play sniper elite since the first one came out, which was so interesting and fun for me because of the nice little stealth and killcam action. 1 and 2 are pretty similar and love them both, 3 was a little different, it introduced a more realistic shooting and more face to face action. I wasn't much of a fan of the new shooting, but when you get the hang of it, you feel like a pro when you get some extreme shots aiming with the wind and distance in your head( without the helper of course). Haven't played 4 yet but seems similar to 3 which i liked in the end. I will wait for some sale though, 60$ seems to high for a game like this.
I played the previous version didn't pick this one up yet. But the kill cam is the most fun part of the game. I don't know why would anyone want to turn that off.
I was disappointed with sniper elite 3 tbh. I've completed it twice in 13 hours. The campaign was stupidly short and there's pretty much no replay value as it kind of has scripted levels
assassingamer25 SE4 had a lot more replay ability stemming from the massive level size and the numerous side objectives. Also with the AI always active on every part of the map at all times keeps you wondering where'd they be. If you liked SE2 or 3, you'll love 4
True, sniper elite 2 was my favourite however with SE3 i found myself playing a lot of multiplayer and going for all the achievements. I think SE4 will have a lot more replay ability because of it's vast open world and the multiplayer looks a tonne better than SE3
I downloaded this today and have passed the first four campaign missions now and had one deathmatch game. I'm very impressed. Its real enough to make you want to be careful and fun enough to say "I wonder what happens if I shoot this" or "Can I line these four guys up and shoot them all in the balls with one shot?" These games are honestly rare these days. I can't wait to try co op :) If anyone here wants to run through with me, I'm on Xbox Gt TR0UBLEM1TE
Duskyfire Yeah, there are some companies that really don't need or deserve your hard-earned 60$, but then there are ones that do. I never torrent games (don't want the malware, don't care for the risk), but there are definitely certain games I would never pay full price for. And contrary to what a previous comment said, I don't think you're hurting the gaming industry, but you may be indirectly hurting someone. Who knows.
My only complaint is the main character, he is displayed in the game as a British soldier, yet he is American and uses a Springfield, but he has a welrod and is called a limey, very inconsistent and odd. I personally regard him as American, and it is a nice change to finally see an American soldier portrayed as methodical and withdrawn, rather than the generic FREEDOM BLOW SHIT UP MURICA that is too often seen, the fact that I can play as different characters is nice tho. And it’s annoying that so many guns are behind a paywall and I have to go through so much effort to unlock the lee Enfield. A good game but with a few flaws here and there.
John Rondeau I've sunk 5 hours into it and absolutely love it. It surpasses SE3 in every way. The levels are SOO nonlinear that it's truly up to how you want to play it and gives you the freedom to make your own path and kills
I like the new stealth mechanic. I don't know how many times I would get spotted in the previous games because I misjudged the squinty eye in my HUD. My one critique is that the missions might be a little too long. When I got the game I thought hey I'll give it a quick play and just do the first mission, I didn't finish until almost 2 hours later. If you or a co-op partner have limited free time you'll be forced to set aside a significant chunk to play a single mission in this game.
Don't get me wrong but sometimes I think that Jake,is too easy when he makes this videos. I mean it was the same with the last CoD (i know the single player was good) but still. I don't know just my opinion is OUR money and sometimes with his words we may think that is the right game all the time
Yeah, I've actually tried to be a bit more critical with recent videos. I make sure that even if I have a bunch of pros, I always try to include at the VERY least 2 cons.
When it comes to buying games the only way to truly know if you're gonna like it is by playing a demo first. If theres no demo, then go to your mates house and play it there (he buys new games impulsively, lucky for you haha). If no mates have the game you want to try, and if you have a good enough PC, you can just pirate the game then if you decide its all you wanted it to be, you can buy the real thing. Theres always a way, and while reviews and the opinions of others are valuable, they will never be as valuable as your own 1st hand impressions.
Great review. Ive never dipped my toes into the Sniper Elite series. With the forthcoming Sniper Elite 5, I’m going to have to check this out first. Thank you.
You were right, I loved MGS5 and loved Sniper Elite 4. I was very methodical and could be 4 hours on a level checking out people's routines so I could get somewhere with no surprises or let a shot off with no one hearing it. When I completed it I was sad it was done but I bought Sniper Elite 3 thinking it'd be the same but with worse graphics. I was wrong. It's exactly the same but the levels were smaller so I completed that one too. Looking forward to Sniper Elite 5 as I doubt we'll see an MGS6.
He didn't adjust his scope. One of the first few shots the distance looks like 100-150 meters, his scope was adjusted for 500 meters to compensate for gravity. He should have adjusted the scope for 100 meters to make the shot easier. But he's being a bitch with just gravity turned on, no wind and aim assist so who cares, aiming is too hard in a sniper game
Didn't watch this, but i'm buying my own Xbox One or PS4 in a few months. I need to think of what game to buy on either one of those systems. I want an old-school styled game that's challenging and fun. Graphics don't matter to me, gameplay does. I've been gaming for years. As a kid I had wonderful times on my N64. Loved the PS2 so much, and I still do. Now i'm 20 and I want a bigger challenge. Sad that modern gaming isn't as good as old-school gaming in my opinion, but there are old-school style games on the newer consoles at least.
Don't know why people dont like SE but i love it. From Sniper Elite 2 on PC to Sniper Elite 3 on PS4 nowadays and then will get this one. BTW Sale is going on in PS Store Guys. Pound 4 for SE3 and Pound 8 for SE4. Thank me later.

It's like when a good band gets big and then sort of generalizes their sound to "appeal to a broader audience".

I would also say to play first on Sniper Elite difficulty since it gives a good bit of challenge.
Last time I was this early I couldn't think of a joke.
Guess not much has changed. -_-
LORD GABEN oh my God
the sent3nce you typed had 17 words,17 is an odd number

Sabat hi
I have 2 and 3, but I haven't finished 2 yet. Even so, it is a lot of fun and I will definitely be getting 4. These games really shine when you have wide open spaces so you can go wild and snipe from anywhere.
Sniper Elite 4 helped me get through most of my college life so far when I still had it installed.
Hope you're having a blast in with your career!
Who is watching this after PS plus
I am😁
Me too
I am.
Me, just because I know nothing about Sniper Elite.
me 😅
This game is going in my library
He's got my name....I gotta play it.
Same here
And he's a badass.

Talks about how hard mode is best way to play. Yet all footage is with bullet path on. Half the fun of these games come from having that off and knowing where to aim. It is a lot more satisfying when you make that long range headshot without being told where to aim.
I agree, I thought the same thing. Like he read other reviews online about how upping the difficulty makes it a different game but blazed through it on easy.
notice me Jake
Jake I know you read this dont ignore me
No dont just pass by
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You ll catch him next time ;)
maybe
@3:58
Is that a bug? The animated-bullet came outside the sniper chamber xD
I'm obsessed with anything WW2 related so this game for me was amazing!
I had never played SE 1-3, but I am loving SE4. I’ve only finished the first map, but so far it seems pretty accurate with bullet drop, wind effects, and enemy triangulation. Just the right mix of stealth, melee, and achievements.
when I was 5 I played the 1st sniper elite, loved it, of course I'm going to buy sniper elite 4
I think this looks awesome. As a huge fan of the stealth genre, I'm glad devs have started incorporating stealth into most mass appeal games also
I've been playing since V2. And the fun as hell. SE3 really wasn't my thing... more for personal reasons. I'm a Desert Storm vet and I'm fucking tired of desert based games. But SE3 was still fun.
So when I saw the setting for SE4 I was sold. I bought the gold edition on psn on a sale for 15.99. Best purchase I have ever made. Buckets of fun.
In all versions I have to say they are spending their budget in the right place. Not on elaborate cutscenes, but on the actual game experience. I appreciate that and will not hesitate to pull the trigger on SE5.
Going to try Zombie Army 4 out next. It may seem like a reskin, but I care. Lol Rebellion is one of my favorite devs now.
Thank you for your service!
I bought this for $9 on the Playstation store about a month ago. I've got 20+ hours in it and I'm still enjoying it.
I haven't played video games since the Syphon Filter genre. My nephew's 8 year old son brought it and begged me to watch him play. It wasn't long before I told him hand me the controller. I'm hooked, bought it. I only play games on the hardest mode, and this game kicks my ass. I get close to finishing off the level, but I get killed and start all over. I still love it.
I am so original that I come here to say am here because this is ps4 august free game.
well, id have to disagree. it is actually unoriginal. good sir.
The Chaddingo must be fun at parties
Waste place to be fair, the guy bitching about seeing repetitive comments is also probably not fun at parties lol
You’re profile pic gives me anxiety
Everyone: **ps plus**
Xbox gamepass: am I a joke to you?
So basically it's the same as Sniper Elite 3 with different maps.
Game is fun, makes each person who plays it think at some point before doing anything.
I'm new to the Sniper Elite series, but I love 3. Thanks for this video, I plan on getting this next!
Excellent review. Been playing this on and off for 2 years now and still enjoy it when I come back to it. The Authentic modes are a real challenge and online Survival with 3 other players is addictive and fun.
Could you make a before you buy for E.T. for Atari 2600? The previews are praising it as the best game ever made but I want to hear your opinion before I buy it.
The sarcasm is strong with this one
The second you said if you liked metal Gear v you'll like it, I liked this game and took it into consideration
Oh how much the series has grown. It turned from a very linear game, to a very non-linear game with a lot of freedom. I think Sniper Elite 4 is the series's prime.
Gonna wait for a sale, I normally like to get the complete game, I have play all the sniper game up until now. I really do like them and have returned to them after finishing them, to play the harder levels. Excellent games.
I just wanna say Seeing a series like this put emphasis on its difficulty is awesome. As you point out it’s not just “enemies take less damage and deal more” they could have just kept it simple or made it all realistic but added mechanics like wind direction depending on the difficulty and even having a custom difficulty should be something considered by more devs today. I’m not saying every game needs it at all like the souls genre is known for its difficulty but it’s definitely more invited for devs to at least consider it in todays age with more gamers preferring easier or hard difficulties.
Im playing this tomorow for the first time. Excited
Man, that sniper on the thumbnail has fantastic balance
Notice how the bullet at 3:59 does not come out of the end of the barrel in the killcam?
What 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are right 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've never played any of the Sniper series and saw 3 and 4 on sale for $15 each. I'm glad I bought them. While I haven't started 4 yet, 3 is ridiculously fun.
Imagine if Rebellion had more budget? This company gives you actual improvements with the game successions, from sniper elite 3 there’s a lot of good changes. I can’t wait for sniper elite 5.
Basically its a good game, but its way more expensive than it should.
Got it for £8 today in the winter sale :D
@Inis Productions yes haha diwnloaded it over night:D
Got it just for 12$ on sale! 😁
Got it for 3.5 dollars :)
paid 20 au for the Season pass edition
this has only been out for a minute yet there is over 100 viewers
As a vet of the series, I love this!
I love how people say this is not a AAA game title when I have put more HR's in to the sniper elite games than almost all AAA titles the past few years this beats most AAA easy as its fun and keeps you wanting to play it over and over just for the x ray kills
I just got the game on ps plus, lol I love it actually really fun and I enjoy just waiting for the right time to shoot and then no one knows where that shot came from. That’s awesome and I’m thinking of buying 5
New to the series, quite interested, I was expecting something interesting relating towards progression because as a former rpg player I love games with simple or even intense levels of progression and development, it provides a sense of side goals in mind either essential or useful in various situations giving off a sense of accomplishment and relief
This game seems like a copy and paste of SE3. Nothing has really changed and it feels like this franchise is going the way of COD; the devs seem content in making an uninspired, generic game.
Avery Underhill At least the environments are a lot nicer
Avery Underhill Have you actually played it?
Avery Underhill hey it's a winning formula just like cod (until you became jumpy spacemen)
Avery Underhill have you played the game.
Cleveland Brown A winning formula doesn't mean it needs yearly releases
I ain’t buying it with cash
I’m getting it for free August 6th
Downloaded it today and it's definitely a fun game.
Ye everyone on PS is not just you
Im downloading it 400mb left
Its boring
xZANZIBARZx yeah the intro sucks dick. So slow and the stealth is tedious
It's a fun game. One thing I would like to see if they make a fifth game, is a secondary weapon kill cam.
never heard of this game but i enjoy playing stealth games in co op with my friend and i believe we are gonna hit those series soon if not today. Thank you for making this.
Love it!!! Only play it on authentic mode. Getting killed after an hour of play and getting sent back to the beginning of the level makes me a better player. And I love it 😂👽😨
To be honest considering there's not much effort put into the story I'm surprised that the developers have stuck with the world war 2 setting for 4 games now what with the limited sniping arsenal that was present during the era. I know that there is the sniper ghost warrior series but in all honesty those games so far have felt even rougher and lower budget than this series.
DagexonDark they could have done Nam or something
I would LOVE a setting change
A fictionalised Renaissance-era setting would be great for this series! Fictionalised in that they have sniper rifles, of course.
gameranx same
Just bought this, best game I have played in ages!! It is a very well made game, well worth the money.
after playing this game for a while now, all i really used in other games is the sniper especially in Mafia 3.
Nice video, thank. I personally really loved Sniper Elite 4. I've played SE 2 and 3 as well, and loved them both, but there is something about SE 4 which makes you want to play it again and again.
What I consider a great change in SE 4 is the weapons system: for each weapon you can unlock three upgrades by accomplishing specific tasks, and once all thre upgrades are unlocked you can earn Mastery of the weapon by accomplishing another task which unlocks the gold skin for that weapon. I've accomplished the gold skin for every weapon, and while doing this I realized that these challenges were well designed and forced you to learn the pros and cons of each weapon.
Unlocking the gold skin for each weapon took me ages, and it was a fun way to replay the whole game with specific tasks in mind - and of course, some levels are better than others for unlocking certain weapon upgrades. For example, some weapons upgrades require you to accomplish 15 or 10 penetration kills. I didn't even know what a penetration kill was, so it forced me to take the habit of reading the feedback you get on screen after each kill (which resumes the type of kill that just occured). I thus learned that penetration kill is a kill where the bullet has gone through some material before hitting the target, and I learned that wood and thin metal surfaces can be penetrated and hit an enemy hiding behind them. These challenges force you to learn SE 4 mechanics in depth, and make you appreaciate the game a lot more - and even made me want to play again SE 2 and 3 to apply my new knowledge of the game.
The weapon upgrade challenges also often require you to kill by aiming at specific organs - ie: kidneys, liver, eye, testicles, etc. By carrying out these challenges you learn how these organs can be hit from different angles, and forces you to fine-tune your sniping skills.
And of course, Sniper Elite 4, like its predecessors, can be played in 3D steroscopic if you have a 3D TV - which I have and makes the game experience so much better: aiming in 3D is a bit more difficoult, but also more realistic, and the kill-cam is amazing in 3D.
I really enjoyed this game, and played it a lot. If you love the genre, and if you enjoyed previous Sniper Elite games, I would advice you to go for it.
I got An ad about Sniper Elite 4😂
Horizon Zero Dawn "Before You Buy" coming right after release right?????????????riggggggghhhhhhttt?!?!?!?!?!?
yup
gameranx Awesome!!! Can't wait!!!
I'll give you a hint: DON'T
GOD I love this game. Endlessly replayable, online multiplayer is terrifying because I'm a scrub, and it just makes you feel so badass. It's a pretty game with great attention to detail. The little stories written for each and every soldier on the maps are an awesome touch. The letters that you find on corpses that make you feel kinda bad are great too, and then you remember that it's a game, and they're Nazis. I just love it so much.
I left a comment of some "before you buy" video recently about how it felt more like a review than a "before you buy". THIS feels like a "before you buy" and lese than a review! Both are great videos though! :)
I play sniper elite since the first one came out, which was so interesting and fun for me because of the nice little stealth and killcam action. 1 and 2 are pretty similar and love them both, 3 was a little different, it introduced a more realistic shooting and more face to face action. I wasn't much of a fan of the new shooting, but when you get the hang of it, you feel like a pro when you get some extreme shots aiming with the wind and distance in your head( without the helper of course). Haven't played 4 yet but seems similar to 3 which i liked in the end. I will wait for some sale though, 60$ seems to high for a game like this.
Ps plus??
For psn users, it should be “before you download”
I wish modern games wouldn't use this tagging bullshit. Seeing enemies through walls is just silly and totally ruins immersion for me.
I don't like that it seems to show exactly where to aim, spoils the challenge in my opinion.
Pretty sure you can turn that off.
Then don't use it lmfao
This is the best war game for a 4 player co-op mode period
I played the previous version didn't pick this one up yet. But the kill cam is the most fun part of the game. I don't know why would anyone want to turn that off.
I was disappointed with sniper elite 3 tbh. I've completed it twice in 13 hours. The campaign was stupidly short and there's pretty much no replay value as it kind of has scripted levels
assassingamer25 so how about 4?
assassingamer25 SE4 had a lot more replay ability stemming from the massive level size and the numerous side objectives. Also with the AI always active on every part of the map at all times keeps you wondering where'd they be. If you liked SE2 or 3, you'll love 4
DisgruntledCommenter V2 is a rocket that the Nazi used Sniper Elite V2 is a remake of the first sniper elite
True, sniper elite 2 was my favourite however with SE3 i found myself playing a lot of multiplayer and going for all the achievements. I think SE4 will have a lot more replay ability because of it's vast open world and the multiplayer looks a tonne better than SE3
DisgruntledCommenter V2 is a linear game and has much less replayability, freedom and options.

I'm disappointed that the title wasn't "Sniper Elite - 4 you buy"
shame :(
@@EliteForceYYC you replied... To your own comment..🤦🤣
@@Kazavop and?
@@Kazavop maybe someone replied to him first, then deleted their comment xd
@@haroutunsarkisyan8050 oh xD
Awesome badass game just finished the story in sniper elite (hard) difficulty. End up at rank 28 master sergeant mark II ;)
I downloaded this today and have passed the first four campaign missions now and had one deathmatch game.
I'm very impressed. Its real enough to make you want to be careful and fun enough to say "I wonder what happens if I shoot this" or "Can I line these four guys up and shoot them all in the balls with one shot?"
These games are honestly rare these days. I can't wait to try co op :)
If anyone here wants to run through with me, I'm on Xbox Gt TR0UBLEM1TE
Co op is awesome. If you had a PS4, I'd have said yes to that offer!
i'll need to play 3 first but still the gameplay is well defined
buy this game, it's fucking awesome
Is it ? Still in 221 should i run it ?
more like before you torrent lol
Duskyfire That is so true xd
Duskyfire Imagine you worked hard on something for months even years and I came by and stole it right in front of you. How would you feel?
Dude fk off ,like look many pirate games and what the devs still make money and yes I do buy my games but I have ppl getting so angry about piracy
Duskyfire Yeah, there are some companies that really don't need or deserve your hard-earned 60$, but then there are ones that do. I never torrent games (don't want the malware, don't care for the risk), but there are definitely certain games I would never pay full price for. And contrary to what a previous comment said, I don't think you're hurting the gaming industry, but you may be indirectly hurting someone. Who knows.
Real Bear Bass I'll "fuck off" when you learn to spell. :)
My only complaint is the main character, he is displayed in the game as a British soldier, yet he is American and uses a Springfield, but he has a welrod and is called a limey, very inconsistent and odd. I personally regard him as American, and it is a nice change to finally see an American soldier portrayed as methodical and withdrawn, rather than the generic FREEDOM BLOW SHIT UP MURICA that is too often seen, the fact that I can play as different characters is nice tho. And it’s annoying that so many guns are behind a paywall and I have to go through so much effort to unlock the lee Enfield. A good game but with a few flaws here and there.
Right lol he's also of German descent.
Born in the UK, parents are German and was raised in the US... Umm wat lmao
love these vids you basically convinced me to buy this game keep up the great work 👍👍👍
I want this game, wait wait.
Rent the game first.
If the game is 6 to 10 hours.
Its not worth buying.
That's me.
John Rondeau it's past that. I've sunk 5 hours into it and I'm not halfway through yet
ThePartyBoss
Is the game any good?
John Rondeau I've sunk 5 hours into it and absolutely love it. It surpasses SE3 in every way. The levels are SOO nonlinear that it's truly up to how you want to play it and gives you the freedom to make your own path and kills
3:59 seems legit
Love it so far especially since it was free with ps plus
I like the new stealth mechanic. I don't know how many times I would get spotted in the previous games because I misjudged the squinty eye in my HUD. My one critique is that the missions might be a little too long. When I got the game I thought hey I'll give it a quick play and just do the first mission, I didn't finish until almost 2 hours later. If you or a co-op partner have limited free time you'll be forced to set aside a significant chunk to play a single mission in this game.
Gameranx is back with another episode of before I lie
Is it possible to snipe in that game?
Nope... Sniper Elite 4 is a pure hardcore platform game... kind of like "Pong"...
(Ok... I tried to troll you there... I failed...)
Believe it or not, YES!
No idea
@Rose Taco69 I know this is 3 months ago and stuff but dude do you really think I'm serious? OMG you should ask yourself that question
Don't get me wrong but sometimes I think that Jake,is too easy when he makes this videos.
I mean it was the same with the last CoD (i know the single player was good) but still.
I don't know just my opinion is OUR money and sometimes with his words we may think that is the right game all the time
Flakey Croissant I don't know lately he's seemed more negative than positive in his reviews
Yeah, I've actually tried to be a bit more critical with recent videos. I make sure that even if I have a bunch of pros, I always try to include at the VERY least 2 cons.
But people hate me either way, lol
Nah dude,u r cool.Just be like a critic in those videos.And I know is difficult for a dude that plays so many games.But still,wish u the best luck!
When it comes to buying games the only way to truly know if you're gonna like it is by playing a demo first. If theres no demo, then go to your mates house and play it there (he buys new games impulsively, lucky for you haha). If no mates have the game you want to try, and if you have a good enough PC, you can just pirate the game then if you decide its all you wanted it to be, you can buy the real thing. Theres always a way, and while reviews and the opinions of others are valuable, they will never be as valuable as your own 1st hand impressions.
I think a bigger variety of weapons would of been nice and not locked behind a pay wall.
I beat the game with the Springfield, and the pistol you start with lol
Great review. Ive never dipped my toes into the Sniper Elite series. With the forthcoming Sniper Elite 5, I’m going to have to check this out first. Thank you.
You were right, I loved MGS5 and loved Sniper Elite 4. I was very methodical and could be 4 hours on a level checking out people's routines so I could get somewhere with no surprises or let a shot off with no one hearing it. When I completed it I was sad it was done but I bought Sniper Elite 3 thinking it'd be the same but with worse graphics. I was wrong. It's exactly the same but the levels were smaller so I completed that one too. Looking forward to Sniper Elite 5 as I doubt we'll see an MGS6.
It’s free for ps plus in August 2019 lol
Why does he sometimes have to aim enormously low to hit the head?
Cengiz Taner has to do with scope, and scope settings.
go back to cod loser
Cengiz Taner you increase the range on the scope .
No, aiming above a target would increase range.
He didn't adjust his scope. One of the first few shots the distance looks like 100-150 meters, his scope was adjusted for 500 meters to compensate for gravity. He should have adjusted the scope for 100 meters to make the shot easier.
But he's being a bitch with just gravity turned on, no wind and aim assist so who cares, aiming is too hard in a sniper game
My favorite sniper game ever!!!!!!!
Didn't watch this, but i'm buying my own Xbox One or PS4 in a few months. I need to think of what game to buy on either one of those systems. I want an old-school styled game that's challenging and fun. Graphics don't matter to me, gameplay does. I've been gaming for years. As a kid I had wonderful times on my N64. Loved the PS2 so much, and I still do. Now i'm 20 and I want a bigger challenge. Sad that modern gaming isn't as good as old-school gaming in my opinion, but there are old-school style games on the newer consoles at least.
Don't know why people dont like SE but i love it. From Sniper Elite 2 on PC to Sniper Elite 3 on PS4 nowadays and then will get this one. BTW Sale is going on in PS Store Guys. Pound 4 for SE3 and Pound 8 for SE4. Thank me later.
