#PSVR #PSVR2
Sounds like a really fair review, and 8.5 is a great score. Sounds like it's a patch away from being a 9/10.
Exactly the review I've been waiting for, thank you.
Best review I have seen on this game, very informative and you answered a lot of questions I had around the game. Thanks 🎩
Was waiting for this review. I was unsure because of the first gameplay videos where the missions were so short without visible connections. Reminded me of Medal of Honor…
Thanks for the review.
Makes me wish we’d get arcade ports/remakes of arcade lightgun games in VR. Especially Silent Scope would be amazing with the PSVR gun.
Appreciate the good review Bryan. The whole gotta get stars thing is a huge deal breaker for me. I’ve bought and played every sniper elite to date and always loved being able to screw up and have everybody rush my location only to run into my trip wires as I jump out a window to set up in a new spot. If this type of play docks me points in order to move on it’s a definite wait for a sale for me.
Great review as always! Re: the manual reloading with the moves - I see you cycled the rifle with your left hand. Did you try doing this with your right hand while holding the rifle with your left hand (like it's done IRL)? I'm just curious if that would be easier.
That makes sense, I’ll have to try it out!
I use to have trouble with the bolt action in WD-S&S untill I started doing it the right way
This game looks amazing as it was without the vr
Yeah it was fun without VR..now gona be epic
Played this today it was so much fun! Thanks for recommendations 😁😁😁😁 edit. I noticed you picked up ammo with ease. I found it really hard to get the x. to either show up or stay highlighted. Super hard to pick ammo up from gun clips.
You give the best vr reviews I’m glad I watched this. Feel like now I’ll lean into this game.
Thanks Jack! :D
Most anticipated vr game for me
5:47 i absolutely hate when games say I need to have enough stars to continue. I bought the game, I should be able to play how I want. If I want to play casually and finish it on easy, I shouldn’t need to gather stars to finish. Just let me play! If I want to play on normal or hard to get a bunch of achievements and stars I could do that too but not everyone wants that.
Fair call, all about choice, but at least we have a heads up
I've been waiting on this game for so long. Cant wait to check it out after work today 👍
I'm happy I'll be able to play this on my quest. This looks awesome
I played the shnikee's out of the 3D version back when 3d TV's were all the rage...it was insanely cool and addicting...but odd as a sniper uses one eye to execute through the scope, so why in 3D?? But it was hecka cool. I will certainly get this!
One shot, one kill
Thanks for the "honest" reivew that points out the "good and bad" of the game. It's interesting that both you and RoadtoVR also dinged the game on the "lackluster" story elements but you are more generous on your final rating than they were (they gave it only a "5" out of 10 rating and said it was just "Ok"). I appreciate your honesty though. BTW, although I have a PSVR (and still actively use it), I ended up picking this up for my Rift S from the Oculus store because it's "Cross-buy" so I was also able to install the game on my OG Quest as well without having to pay for it again. Despite its flaws, I'm looking forward to diving into the game.
It's always interesting to see how much certain faults bother different reviewers. I hated the blur and world scaling of Doom 3 but had SO MUCH FUN that for the budget price of $19.99 I couldn't give it anything less than a 9. And for me, if a game is a lot of fun it's easy to overlook some of it's more glaring issues.
There's games like blood and truth that I was eager to get day one, but I think I'll wait a bit for this one.
I was so hoping this would be great. At one point I thought it might have been canceled when they went quiet about it. Awesome review and great they delivered! 👏 can’t wait
Always feels so good to hear that review intro music lmao great review!! And I didn’t hear you mention multiplayer but isn’t it coming later cause they couldn’t do it for launch?
I've been following Sniper Elite VR for over 2 years and I never heard of any multiplayer plans. I'll look into it though - I've been wrong before! :D
Oh no I’m wrong then because I got that information from you in an older video😂I swear I remember it being sniper elite but guess it was another game…sadly
Looks like a great reason to dust off the Aim.
Had to grab sniper elite vr day one especially for £25.Sniper elite 4 is one of a handful of flat games I’ve played from start to finish so now to be able to play a new sniper elite game and in vr with the aim oh boy I can’t wait to ride the bullet
As a VR gaming fan that has played and enjoyed other Sniper Elite games as well as other games from Rebellion, I am very interested in this game, but I am not sure if I should get this for PSVR and play with the PS Aim controller or get it for my Oculus Quest 2 and use those controllers.
It would be nice if VR reviews would start not just covering multiple control options on PSVR, but also PSVR vs Quest for games that are on both platforms.
I appreciate your well thought out and balanced review. Been waiting on this game for a while and am super pleased that its out today and it is a decent game. Can't wait for my first X-Ray kill.
Only place I go to for PSVR reviews
Great review, I'll be waiting for a sale, not really dying to play this
8.5 is a great score for this game but listening to you talk about it feels like a 2 on your 1-3 scale. Thanks for the honest review. I will indeed wait for a sale on this one.
That's ultimately why I started adding numerical scores to reviews. Because sometimes when you have to list EVERYTHING that's wrong with a game it can make things sound worse than they are. A number helps put things in perspective. Strangely enough the game that convinced me to add scores was Sinn Studio's Warzone. The review sounded oddly positive and afterwards I realized that ending the review by stamping it with a 2/10 would have made everything crystal clear. :D
@@WithoutParole Based on everything you said I think your 8.5 is fair but all I hear is the old Bryan saying"Wait for a sale" Hahahaha
The review score is better than expected. Can you hide in long grass or bushes like in Sniper Elite 4? Thanks for the video, Bryan.
Just bought it £14.99 in sale thanks for the review 🙂
I totally forgot this was coming out. I've watched your videos before playing a lot of PSVR games. I've been waiting for a good game that uses the Aim controller.
Honesty I’m okay with the game being 7-10 hours. In VR it is difficult to finish games that are 15-20 hours. That is a lot of time in the headset itself. I’m also a VR trophy hunter so games like Skyrim and Borderlands 2 are at the bottom of my backlog due to their length.
I’m really excited to play it tonight!! As always, great review Bryan.
Great review! At the beginning it looked like there was floaty tilting and drifting, which made me wonder if it would make some players nauseous. You didn’t mention it, so I’m assuming it’s not a factor at all. Thanks for the info!
Correct me if I'm wrong but what you're referring to sounds like world wobble. It generally should never happen - if it becomes an issue make sure you don't ever use the Rest Mode on your PS4 or PS5 - for whatever reason it causes severe world wobble after awhile for some people. Always turn off your console completely before restarting it and playing a VR game. :D
Great info about “world wobble”! I’ve had to do restarts while using VR, when the headset was acting wonky, or when Spotify just seemed to not “let go” of audio control in the background. I’ve only experienced motion sickness twice in VR. Once during Wipeout Omega, and slightly in Driveclub VR. Both seemed to have a drifting/tilting effect that felt unnatural and threw me off.
Aim Controller is the reason I‘m still unsure if I should get it on PSVR or PCVR.
The Aim controller is a game changer. I really hope the develop something similar for the PSVR2. Impulse Gear (Farpoint devs) that is haha
Okay, just bought it for PSVR. Aim Controller ftw!
@@MikeCheckVR wish they could make this model work on PS5.
@@twatinahatsmith7428 the aim controller works fine with the ps5
@@magnusfrost537 good to know but no ps5 around at the moment. Playing a lot of Quest and now wait for 18 months or so then jump back to PSVR 2.
Review time!
Bought it this evening for 10 euro .... Fun game i dont have the aim controller still looking for it for a nice price .. i know iam late to the party butt still fun game ... I will practice in the shooting range with the motion controllers ...
Can't wait to try this game! Great review 🙂
Downloading it now and charging my AIM 😁😁...oh and finally bought Boxed in as well
Might try moves again, but yeah with manual reloading off.
Also had a a friend watching me play but he couldn’t see down the sights is there way to adjust which eye they can see?
Imagine if this and Warplanes WW1 Bombers was combined... That would be dope.
I’ll definitely be picking this game up, but I’ll probably wait for a patch first
I knew I wanted this game from the grins on your and AJ's faces when you "couldn't talk about it".
Nice! No day 1 pick up for me, though. Only because I gotta work a double shift...
I want this game so bad! But i'm broke and also Synth Riders comes out this month (27th) which i need to have on day one. So i guess i buy Synth Riders first. Seems to have more replay value (i'm a sucker for VR rhythm games) and then i'll buy Sniper Elite with my next salary. Hopefully we get a patch eventually to increase visual fidelity on the PS5.
Can’t wait to play. Don’t know when tho. Might be all the way to Sunday night 😭
Sniper EliteVR and pizza (Italian Stallion of course), could Friday night be any better!!!! Game On!!!!!🍕🧠🦴🫀🫁💥🍕
Mmmmm.... pizza
*drools*
Looking to get a Aim controller which is easier said than done. Looks good though and I might just try it with the moves instead.
Great review as always Bryan!
Just bought this and I'd be having a lot more fun with this if I wasn't having such awful drift issues. Don't experience drift all that much in other games. My hands don't seem to be in the same place as my controller and my gun is often pointing 45 degrees to the right. Also there's a lot of bits which feel a bit unfair with enemies just spawning out of thin air. Oh well, maybe one day I'll fork out for an aim controller and get the intended experience from this.
one question do you have to buy it or if you had id would it update? and the game on the video is it sniper elite 4?
I'm a little confused by the question. But let me try to answer anyway...
Sniper Elite VR is its own game. It's not an upgrade or patch to any existing Sniper Elite game. You need to buy it separately. Does that answer your question? If not let me know! :D
yes it dose i thought sniper elite was gonna update to vr so, yes i thought it needed to update
Hey! Thanks a lot! I'd like to ask you a question: Is it playable with JUST the controller, ONLY?
Check out the review summary screen at the end of our reviews to see what controllers options are supported. :D
Couple questions I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere on the interwebs..
#1 What the hell does the setting "comfort scope" do?! I've had it off and on, yet notice zero difference?? I am playing with the AIM, so unless it's for a different controller scheme.. 🤷♂️
#2 When crouched, I randomly get a vignette when moving. At first, I thought maybe the vignette appears only when you're hidden in shadows or whatever, but after testing it under lights and in the open, there doesn't appear to be any consistent pattern?
Besides that and some annoying bugs, like shooting someone near point blank, only to watch the bullet pass right through them, it's a decent game. I think my hype was so high from being a SE fan, that I expected more of an open world game.
Most definitely 🔥😁
Can you save mid level on the lower difficulties?
How hard is Authentic compared se3 or se4?
I always crank the difficulty level all the way up on the hardest difficulty on most games to make it last a while the only game I dont do that on is Dark Souls that gets insane
Thanks! Great review
Hey Brian I just bought this game yesterday and playing it on my ps5 in VR but I have horrible weapon/hand sway with the move controllers. Any suggestions how to fix? Already tried brightening the room and moving the ps camera but still have same results.
I can’t find it on the ps store please help me
I found it
Where? My Playstation store doesn't seem to have it
This is tempting to buy on sale and dust off my aim controller. But im deep into psvr2
Superb review 👏
Gun club Vr < Blood & Truth < Saints and Sinners.
Great review ! Any comfort options for us 🙁😩🤢🤮 players ?
Snap turning, teleport, blinders, no in motion killcam. All the comfort options are present to ruin allmost all immersion! Enjoy!🤣
Awesome, can't wait!
4:45 - you can see unfinished ground in the level -.-
Hope they add a pvp that would be awesome of course it wont happen but it would great
I don't like steath games and not good at shooters in general but have the aim anyway, but really on the fence because of the stealth.
Dying to play this!!!!
that game looks really good!
What’s the toiletseat-looking thing at the end next to the different controllers the game supports?
VR Rudder. It is used for walking in vr games, i think it reduces nausea for some as it replaces walking with the stick on the controller(s). Not sure it is supported a lot tbh, i don't think so
Where are people finding this? It's not in my Playstation store..
Nice review, you just saved me $30.
You're welcome! I'm always happy when I can save someone some cash! :D
Yet people over here in the UK can’t play it (yet) and no release date either (just coming soon) I’m not happy at all.
No it’s coming out today.
The times are as follows:
2PM BST
6AM Pacific
9AM Eastern
3PM CET
The July 8th release date was disclosed weeks prior to today
Patience. It’s not out anywhere yet
Is there not a Pro Patch for the game?
You need to play with the motion controls on an actually good headset
Agreed, AIM controller on PSVR is the way this game was meant to be played.
I completely forgot about this game
How? 😂
I guess we should have talked about it on Gamescast Live or PSVR THIS WEEK or done a Let's Play or something :D
@@MajerHawk The game was anounced in September 2020
@@WithoutParole That would have been nice /s
I'm a bit worried it's too short. Like 5 hours of gameplay for 20 quid?
Took me 7 hours to blast through on the normal/default difficulty - but i think you'll want to play through a 2nd time on the hardest setting. It's really challenging. :D
@@WithoutParole just got it, so far VERY good
Cool 😎
Probably a "wait for a sale" on this one for me.
this looks fun
Here’s hoping it’s good
It's not on the ps4 store in UK when is it out??
Update: I just got it it didn't show up for some reason so I had to buy it on the app
Heelo How is it with PS5 Here in Europe is very heavy to find PS5
Thats not nice We waiting so long Time...Can you give me a Idea Thanks 🙏😡
Brother are there hub worlds you can walk around and collectables like in the original game?
No hub worlds and the levels are fairly linear
@@WithoutParole thank u
Every time I've played with aim controller I have to aim to the right of the cross-hairs to get a kill shot🤔 no matter how many times I celebrate it does the same thing
What's with the blinders? Are they forced?
Somehow that explanation got chopped out of the actual review (I was up all night editing this, hopefully there weren't too many mistakes lol) - but yes when you're in cover or when explosions go off mandatory blinders kick in. It's not frequent but it does suck.
PSVR Without Parole Hmmm. Figured they'd have an option to turn that off. Cool thanks for confirming that for me! 🙂
I got this recently and am new to vr why is this games graphics almost look 8 bit and barely playable but on TV it looks good
What console are you playing on?
@@WithoutParole ps4
how is it with move controllers? I don't have an aim controller. Does walking/sniping feel as good as it does in Rec Room?
edit: ugh, nevermind I just got to that part in your video...it sounds awful, what a shame
Good enough for me
We need more coop shooters
After The Fall can't get here soon enough! :D
Please tell me this at least has a Pro patch. New games getting released just for the 2013 base PS4 hardware in 2021 is getting ridiculous.
It looks great and I'm a sucker for VR shooters, but for $30 I think I'll wait.
Doesn't seem to benefit from the Pro/PS5 sadly.. On the other hand, it isn't annoyingly blurry or anything. Acceptable in my book.
@@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264 It depends on the person, I think. Some people thought Doom 3 VR without a pro patch was fine, some don't. I caught Doom 3 VR on a sale ($13 was more like it), and for all the PSVR games that still look nice in 2021, and Doom 3 VR isn't one of them -- needs a patch.
I just don't see why we're seeing even more PSVR games without Pro patches AFTER the PS5 is out, of all things.
@@JoshCzoski Played it at a friends house today who has a base PS4 and compared to my PS4 Pro it looked definitely not as clear and/or sharp. The game profits when played on Pro or PS5 i can assure you! Same graphics but it runs better basically, which is nice.
@@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264 Thanks for the info!
I don't know what Sony is doing but the game is not on the store yet.
🤬🤬🤬🤬
Can u tell me why my hands are SOOOO SLOW!?!? Pls
What's happening with your hands?
Does it look better on ps5 then pro?
There are no PS5 enhancements, so it loads faster but that's about it
I don’t know what to do I live in the US I’m trying to buy the game I don’t I can’t find it in the store
It’s not out yet. The PlayStation Store usually doesn’t update for another 3 hours but it might be out sooner
Thank you by the way I love your content
Anyone else not happy with the aim controller movement? They've tied the movement direction to where you're looking rather than where your controller is pointing. It's the opposite way round to all the other PSVR shooters that use the aim controller. It's killing the immersion for me and I keep walking into things.
Turn off head aiming
@@tylerclout8175 cool, has there been an update?
why did you use the auto reload???
Because this game is INFINITELY more fun with the AIM controller. The Moves are fine and manual reloading adds some realism. The AIM is the best way to play though.
@@WithoutParole my videos for this game keep keeps messing up but i like the manual like the video thou!
I went ahead and go this because I'm such a sucker for VR shooters but I'm really unhappy with this.
The blurry visuals hurt the playability of this game. It's supposed to be about sniping, which means looking for tiny details in the environment and the experience is like going in as a sniper who forgot to bring his glasses. The blurry visuals make it so much harder to make out small details like you need to be able to do in this game as much as anything. The other big issue is the sound sourcing which is extremely important for this kind of experience, and it's way off, with enemies sounding like they're close by when they aren't oftentimes. The story and narration are completely annoying because it's so canned, just the ultimate uninspired WWII narration where no one involved sounded like they cared or had a hint of inspiration.
The core game design really works, but the execution is such a half job. What makes this game so offensive is that it came out in 2021 and feels like it's just exploiting the desperation of PSVR owners in the drought of new titles.
OMG! i see graphics like in 2003 :-/ Facebook you are rellay killing VR Gaming!
Mandatory blinders, that’s a huge red flag for me.
Timed missions (in order to collect stars), another red flag.
The move controllers don’t naturally lend themselves to two handed weapons, more of an Amber flag than a Red one.
All in all I’m enough of a mug to buy the damn thing regardless. Your review leaves me with no excuses if I’m slightly disappointed.
👍🍺
Well, I love what this game could be, but the tracking is beyond broken. When I'm not told I've "left the play area" when I haven't moved, my weapons rotate to the left by about 45° anytime I use the focus mode...
My system has been extensively calibrated and recalibrate with multiple camera positions, but this game will not cooperate.
I'll keep an eye out for a patch.
I've heard some people say they had drift issues with Sniper Elite VR but your situation sounds unique. Just for my own curiosity, which console are you playing on (PS4/Pro/PS5)? And does this happen regardless of which controller you're using?
@@WithoutParole
I'm on the Pro using a DS4 (AIM is $100 here in Canada and that's if you're lucky enough to find one!).
Multiple DS4s all have the same problem and only with this game (it really becomes apparent when using the L2 button). The headset itself hasn't exhibited any more drift than usual though.
I love the game otherwise, as it really feels like one of my all time favorites, Goldeneye! (A multi-player feature would be a sweet add on).
Love the channel by the way, if you're ever headed for Victoria BC, let me know, Pizza's on me!
@@Tim-is-short thanks for the info. And pizza’s on me if you join us in Atlanta next year for the 2022 Gamecat Meetup! 😀
