Beck Shaw, the lead level designer at Reebellion, has shared some insights with us regarding their latest stealth action game, “Sniper Elite: Resistance“. In this interview, Shaw discusses a range of topics related to Sniper Elite, such as the Axis Invasion mode and the design aspects of the game in “Resistance”. Read on for his thoughts about the title below.
As a dedicated fan, I often wonder about the creative process behind the development of Sniper Elite: Resistance. How did the team decide to turn it into a spin-off instead of a direct sequel to the main series?
After wrapping up work on Sniper Elite 5, we found ourselves yearning to delve deeper into the backdrop of France under occupation. Thus, Sniper Elite: Resistance serves as our platform to offer fans even more of their beloved elements, while also weaving a fresh tale that complements the main series installments.
“We felt that there was still so much more to explore within the setting of occupied France”
What kind of gameplay experience and level design should we anticipate in Resistance? Is it likely to match the scale of Sniper Elite 5, or is there a possibility that its campaign may be more concise?
Sniper Elite: Resistance offers a self-contained adventure with a campaign as lengthy as that found in Sniper Elite 5. The game introduces Propaganda Missions, exclusive to this series, which are accessible once you locate Resistance posters scattered throughout the campaign levels. In these side quests, you assume the role of a Resistance Fighter and are given time-bound objectives involving stealth, sniping, and combat. Additionally, it comes with a complete multiplayer mode, featuring cooperative play, online adversarial battles, and the popular Axis Invasion gameplay.
What sets the Sniper Elite series apart are its unique X-ray kill cams. How does Resistance plan to enhance this feature, as compared to what was presented in game 5?
In Sniper Elite 5, the X-ray Kill Cam was highly appreciated, so we didn’t change it drastically. However, the level design in Sniper Elite: Resistance significantly enhances the Kill Cam experience with its breathtaking landscapes and backdrops. Players can expect to appreciate their long-range shots and feel a real sense of achievement!
“The level design of Sniper Elite: Resistance really amplifies the Kill Cam”
How well-received is the Axis Invasion mode within the game series, and could you provide some insight into how many players keep this feature activated?
As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of Sniper Elite: Resistance, I can’t reveal exact figures, but let me tell you, Invasion Mode from Sniper Elite 5 was a fan favorite and a crucial element we were determined to include in our new game. The thrill of this mode mirrors the stealthy, nail-biting sniping experience that forms the core of our franchise, and I can’t wait to witness the exhilarating battles unfold within our community as they engage in these high-stakes matches.
In the context of the numerous battlefronts during World War II, what sparked the examination of the French resistance in the game “Sniper Elite: Resistance”?
As a dedicated fan, I must say, the challenge lies in portraying the French Resistance’s plight effectively within the context of Sniper Elite 5, given its focus on the frontlines of Europe’s Allied liberation. Hence, Sniper Elite: Resistance is all about revisiting the same setting and shining a light on the clandestine war that the Resistance fought valiantly within the core of occupied France, away from the limelight.
Will we see more short-form side-story games from the Sniper Elite franchise in the future?
Never say never, but this is all we have planned for now.
What other fronts from World War 2 is the studio interested in exploring?
Man, picking just one game is tough since there are so many awesome ones out there! Sniper Elite has transported us from the gritty warfare of North Africa, to the breathtaking Italian countryside and the liberation of Europe. I can’t predict where the action will take place next, but let me tell you, every theater holds a compelling story waiting to be told.
“It was hard to properly address the struggle of the French Resistance within Sniper Elite 5“
Could I inquire about something? I’m guessing you might be pondering over the future of the series following the release of Resistance. Is it possible that we may see a Sniper Elite 6 in the future?
We don’t have anything to announce on that front yet.
With the advanced settings of the PS5 Pro, gamers can savor the visual splendor of “Sniper Elite: Resistance” in a stunning 4K, or 2160p, resolution.
What resolution and frame rate will the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S run at?
The PlayStation 5 operates at 60 frames per second (fps) and offers a display resolution of 1800 pixels. On the other hand, both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S operate at 60fps; the Series X provides a resolution of 2160p (4K), while the Series S delivers a resolution of 1080p (Full HD).
