And it’s not a bad practice either, in my opinion. This isn’t the first time a game used the previous installment as a base for a new game. Which makes sense considering 3 was developed and released only two years after the original.
#Sniper elite v2 vs 3 full
Initial impressions were that Sniper Elite 3 felt more like an enhanced V2 than a full sequel. Having never owned or played the game on previous platforms. I bring this up since with Sniper Elite 3, I was going in completely blind. And a lot of this was simply due to the fact that I already had experience with V2 long before playing Remastered. I also compared how the game looked in its new “Remastered” state compared to how it originally looked on the 360 and Wii U. It’s a somewhat mediocre shooter held together by its excellent sniping mechanics and that’s really about it. However, I wasn’t exactly keen on V2 either. If you never watched/read my review of V2 (or just don’t remember it), my thoughts were that as a port it was very well made and the amount of content the game came with made it a worthwhile purchase. Now it’s fall and the port of 3 has been released. When Rebellion (the developers of Sniper Elite) announced the port of V2, they announced a Switch port of Sniper Elite 3 would follow a few months later.
