City Interactive seems to have some kind of secret sauce with these Sniper: Ghost Warrior games because we are now up to Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 in a very short time. The first one was kinda blah, the second one a bit better and from the looks of this gameplay video with developer commentary seems to be a bit better than the second. At least you can’t accuse them of learning from their mistakes and always looking to better themselves. The only problem I have with all these games is they are less about being a sniper and more about being a soldier who happens to be able to use a sniper rifle effectively sometimes.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 ups the ante in a few ways; there’s new gadgets like a drone, who doesn’t love drones! There’s also a bit of Assassin’s Creed in here with some parkour and finally you’re also like Billy from Predator crossed with Batman from the Arkham City series where you can track enemies via glowy footsteps if need be. All of this adds up to some interesting first person shooting and adventuring but I’m not entirely sure it’s the kind of sniping game I had hoped. I don’t think I’ll ever get the perfect sniping game which could be good because that would actually be pretty damn boring and there is more sniping here than in other FPS games so kudos to them for that. The Sniper: Ghost Warrior series scratches a small itch I have and I also view them as an underdog of sorts, even with their 5.5 million copies sold, which means they’ll at least get me to give each one of these a full playthough. While Sniper: Ghost Warrior might not be the most bombastic FPS shooter series I like that it’s trying to set itself apart in the crowded genre which we really need more of.

CI Games Unveils Behind Closed Doors E3 Presentation for First Triple-A Production in the Franchise
WARSAW, Poland – July 22, 2015 – Previously available only for press and members of the industry, the first-ever Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 presentation has been made public and is now available on YouTube:https://youtu.be/sgRdJmBa95o. Narrated by Jess Lebow, a Lead Narrative Designer at CI Games, it provides an extended look into the next big step for the Warsaw, Poland-based studio.
Strengthened by the enthusiastic reception of the demo at E3 2015, CI Games is now getting ready for this year’s Gamescom, the biggest and the most important games convention in Europe. The studio will be presenting a completely new hands-off demo of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 in a private meeting room, as well as providing the previous hands-on demo to the public for the first time ever.
The Sniper Ghost Warrior franchise is CI Games’ most popular, having sold more than 5.5 million titles to date. The third entry into the series will be its first full-fledged triple-A title, featuring open-ended wartime environments and a non-linear narrative to give snipers the freedom and choice necessary to execute the advanced missions that tactically-minded gamers yearn for.
Hot on the heels of CI Games’ first triple-A production, the successful Lords of the Fallen, SGW3 is the studio’s most ambitious title yet. It is being created from the ground up by an experienced development team led by former Marine and CI Games creative director Paul B. Robinson, who, in addition to serving in combat, has an extensive 20-year career in game development. Veteran game designer and writer Jess Lebow, who has worked on a number of high profile games including League of Legends, Far Cry, and Guild Wars also serves as the Lead Narrative Designer for SGW3, and is available for interviews at Gamescom.
