Devs need to move on

[nurlan2007944]

I like Sniper series ever since completed the first one a long time ago. Resistance is also good - nice maps, good guns, interesting bullet drop, gory X-Rays cams, I will leave a positive review later, BUT it feels like developers really need to move on with the series. Right now game feels like it wants to be a Hitman game, but without clothes changing.

Maybe it's time for a new series? Call it Spy Elite, where you play as a double agent, who can change clothes, make hidden sabotage, take out enemies and make it look like an accident.

I don't mean this with any disrespect or ill intention but..maybe, you need to move on from Sniper elite? Nothing wrong with that at all. I don't sit and grind 1 games for years, its nice to come back to it here and there. I hope that 6 will innovate a bit more, but in the meantime I'm quite happy playing 5 / Resistance. It sounds like you want to play Hitman? so go play Hitman? I know I.O.I is working on a James Bond game, curious to see if that'll be hitman-esque. Id love to see that game tackle a wide breadth of the bond actors, locations, time periods etc.

Well i do love the complete franchise,and in my opinion there are so many other theaters of operations ,like Greece,Yougoslavia,the Far East,Singapore,Philippines and such.If the devs could go for this ,and even shaping up a bit the game engines,a few new features etc,then the franchise could last for another 10 years i guess.

well they can thank themselves for poor sales at launch not showing any loyalty to gamers that have all of their games,simply pure greed and I for one will never support them again ...

The only logical place they could go is the pacific theater. The european theater has been done to death in this franchise.

If anything Sniper Elite could do with some spinoff games that take place in other wars. Hell I'd love to see one take place in WW1 and see how they could craft a sniper game with the trench warfare, tunnel digging, and other wild experimental ideas done in that war.

Im waiting for this series to go:
- Open World with a huge map
- Allow sabotage
- have a dynamic enemy faction that is affected by your actions but also omnipresent.
- basically is Red Faction Guerilla meets Far Cry 2 but in WW2 with coop in Nazi Territory and with more reactions from the world to what you do (cut ammo supply lines, the enemies sometimes dont have enough ammo to shoot for some time etc).

At that point, i would jump in instantly.

I don't mean this with any disrespect, but maybe Rebellion needs to move on from making games...

I mean, I still have "fond" memories of them botching Evil Genius 2, starting to offer refunds but then quickly switching gears and instead banning everyone who voiced any kind of criticism. Needless to say, I haven't bought anything Rebellion ever since, so I haven't been following them closely - but my impression is the failure of EG2 doomed Sniper Elite 5 to be worse than its brilliant predecessor - and that, in turn, led to even more modest budget for this game.

Why am I even here, you might ask? Well, I was just watching my local youtuber who made a video on games releasing in 2025, and this game got a grand total of 30 seconds of coverage. Otherwise I'd have no idea this one exists, I kid you not. Meaning the marketing budget was basically nonexistent. And now I'm looking at it and I'm getting heavy ELEX 2 vibes - overall low quality, asset reuse and stuff. That game killed Pyranha Bytes, so I wouldn't expect any other outcome here as well.

Nazis are indeed bad. If you disagree, you are a problem to be solved.

What they need to do is start listening to and really engaging with community feedback if they want Sniper Elite to remain a viable IP for them, not giving canned responses or BS nonsense like "Players wanted timed missions in Resistance."
No, players want more gore, more enemies, more vehicles, updated movement and animation, more Survival, and to be able to walk up and down stairs without glitching out.

maybe they just need a new background story like modern war or cold war , not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WW2 again and again .

Just to be clear, I don't grind one game for years. If anything - I'm the opposite of that. I play different games, some new, some old, some good, some bad, typical enjoyer. The point is that I play every Sniper game on release since the first one because I really like the series. And if there was a huge difference between 1 and 2, also big change from 2 to 3, smaller change from 3 to 4, even smaller change from 4 to 5 and no change at all from 5 to Resistance. Series need to evolve.
