Sniper Elite 4 is prime game-y video game. Like, as if killing nazis wasn’t enough, a successful kill regularly results in the camera moving through the air, with the bullet, eventually showing it going through the body / brain / balls. You can be the most sedate person in the world, but as soon as you land a shot on a pair of Third Reich bollocks, there’s no fighting that grin.

Fans of shooting Nazis from very far away have lots to look forward to over the coming months. During a development update stream on Twitch, Rebellion revealed that they've got more WW2 sniping on the docket, starting with a remastered version of Sniper Elite v2 due later this year. While it's a bigger deal for console folks, they're integrating all the DLC into the new edition, giving it a bit of a graphical clean-up and adding a few new playable characters. They also announced Sniper Elite 5 and Sniper Elite VR, the latter co-developed by Just Add Water, but neither were ready to show. See the recording of the stream below.

Rebellion, the English developers and publishers behind games including Sniper Elite and Strange Brigade (as well as the galaxy's greatest comic, 2000 AD), have added a fourth studio to their fold. They announced today that they've bought TickTock Games, the Yorkshire mob who had previously chipped in on Rebellion projects including Rogue Trooper Redux. Rebellion North is now their name (no they haven't moved to Edinburgh, nor Dundee), and they're already contributing to several of Rebellion's mysterious upcoming games. Nice to see a company still growing and taking on new employees in these days of woe.

We've just passed the half-way point of 2018, so Ian Gatekeeper and all his fabulously wealthy chums over at Valve have revealed which hundred games have sold best on Steam over the past six months. It's a list dominated by pre-2018 names, to be frank, a great many of which you'll be expected, but there are a few surprises in there.

2018 releases Jurassic World Evolution, Far Cry 5 Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Warhammer: Vermintide II are wearing some spectacular money-hats, for example, while the relatively lesser-known likes of Raft, Eco and Deep Rock Galactic have made themselves heard above the din of triple-A marketing budgets.

President Trump showed a weird frag montage in his video game violence meetinghttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/president-trump-showed-a-weird-frag-montage-in-his-video-game-violence-meetingAlice O'ConnorFri, 09 Mar 2018 12:37:41 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/president-trump-showed-a-weird-frag-montage-in-his-video-game-violence-meetingShooterBlockbusterviolence in videogamesCall of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022)The Evil WithinCall of Duty: Black OpsDead by DaylightSniper Elite 4Fallout 4Donald Trumpno-adsWolfenstein: The New Order

US President Donald Trump yesterday held a private meeting to discuss the issue of violence in video games, having suggested after February's murders at a school in Parkland, Florida that it "is really shaping young people's thoughts." This would clearly amount to nothing productive, given mostly industry representatives and conservative pressure groups were attending, but it is a surprise that Trump showed attendees a short video montage of video game deaths. The White House have released this publicly, so we can all see a sloppy montage of deaths from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 4, and more. Somehow it isn't a surprise that some clips are clearly ripped from YouTubers - watermarks and all.

Another year over, a new one just begun, which means, impossibly, even more games. But what about last year? Which were the games that most people were buying and, more importantly, playing? As is now something of a tradition, Valve have let slip a big ol' breakdown of the most successful titles released on Steam over the past twelve months.

Below is the full, hundred-strong roster, complete with links to our coverage if you want to find out more about any of the games, or simply to marvel at how much seemed to happen in the space of 52 short weeks.

Humble's got a Very Positive thing going on right nowhttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/humble-positive-saleJamie WallaceTue, 26 Sep 2017 09:28:05 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/humble-positive-saleHumble BundleDream DaddyRPGHomeworld Remastered CollectionSniper Elite 4StrategyKenshi

Not only does Humble currently have its second 'Very Positive' bundle going on right now, the site is now listing a separate sale, appropriately titled the 'Very Positive Sale'. As with the bundle, the sale features a bunch of games all with 'Very Positive' or higher ratings on Steam right now, with discounts of up to 80%.

Before you ask, yes, that means you can get Dream Daddy for £9.89 / $13.49. Also featured are things like lovely retro Metroid-like Axiom Verge, perpetual Early Access feudal RPG Kenshi, the Homeworld Remastered Collection, Sniper Elite 4 and more.

We covered the strange adventure possible in Kenshi quite recently. In a year that gave us Divinity: Original Sin 2's hungry elves and face-stealing undead, it's astonishing to realise that Kenshi has weirder cannibalistic possibilities than Larian's latest masterpiece.

Rebellion, the studio behind the Sniper Elite and Nazi Zombie Army games, have announced a new class-based shooter for 1-4 players with all the sights, fights, and colonial stereotypes of 1930s pulp adventures. Strange Brigade [official site] is its name, and shooting monsters is its game. As adventurers with different abilities, players will kick in the doors to "forgotten civilisations" and "treacherous tombs" to fight undead nasties, anthropomorphic animal monsters, and maybe even Anubis (or one of his bros). Here, have a look in the announcement trailer:

Wot I Think: Sniper Elite 4https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/sniper-elite-4-review-pcAlec MeerMon, 13 Feb 2017 13:00:04 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/sniper-elite-4-review-pcFeatureReviewsStealthSniper Elite 4Action AdventureRebellionWot I Think

Sniper Elite 4 [official site] is my first time with Rebellion's World War II third-person shooter series, games I have hitherto only been peripherally aware of as 'that one where you get to shoot Hitler in the plums'. I must admit, from afar I'd presumed this was a game about spending 80 minutes crouched on rock, gauging wind direction with a wet finger and applying mathematical levels of after-touch to each level's single shot.

Turns out, no, it's a halfway house between Hitman and Call of Duty - equal parts stealth and firefights. It's entirely accessible, and that biggish number at the end of title doesn't mean any prior knowledge is necessary either.

Rebellion are returning to World War 2 for more sneaky sniping action later this year, having today announced Sniper Elite 4. This time, Ian Elite is headed to Italy to fight with the resistance against the forces of fascism. While we see Nazis in movies and video games all the time, Mussolini and friends are less common. Is the most known pop culture image of them perhaps from Allo Allo? Bit less sunny in reality, that lot. Anyway, yes, Sniper Elite 4 is announced and coming this year. Observe, a trailer:
