Sniper Elite V2 Kill Cam First Trailer

Sniper Elite V2 is the follow-up to 505 Games hit original Sniper sim which is set for release in 2012 for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PC.

One of the new features of the game is the extremely brutal debut of the Kill Cam.

This unique feature rewards players who manage to score a clean, “good” shot with a highly graphic “x-ray” replay of the bullet zipping from its chamber and through your target.

“Bones shatter, organs rupture and blood gushes — the explosive first trailer for Sniper Elite V2 shows that, in the ruins of Berlin in 1945, every shot counts.

The trailer premieres the unique ‘kill cam’, which rewards a ‘good’ shot by explicitly demonstrating just how destructive a sniper’s bullet can be — following it along its path before switching to slow motion X-ray detail to show its actual effects on the target’s skeleton and organs. The kill cam rewards good gameplay but reinforces the chilling impact of the sniper on the battlefields of World War Two.

It also demonstrates the distinctive direction of Sniper Elite V2– this is no ‘run and gun’ shoot ’em up. Players must carefully thread their way through the ruins and complete covert missions, otherwise hordes of German Wehrmacht will come running.

Released in 2005, Sniper Elite saw gamers playing an American OSS secret agent disguised as a German sniper in Berlin during the final days of World War II. It earned considerable public and critical applause with its blend of stealth action – which emphasised patience and cunning over reflexes alone – culminating in being awarded ‘Best PC/Console Game’ at the TIGA awards 2005.
