Hello guys, how have you been, it seems that lately I have been exploring war experiences in video games set in World War II, but beyond the raw warfare and constant shrapnel I have found an alternative to see differently these historical events in a game.
By the way I don't know if I already mentioned which video game I'll be showing you good, for this occasion I was playing Sniper Elite V2, and as the title says I'm a sniper XD.
But beyond being sent on an important mission, I want to show you some pictures of the streets of Berlin, which is completely devastated.
Those two enemy guards seemed to be “attentively patrolling” while I was unnoticed, almost crawling behind them!
Here I am climbing to a kind of watchtower, there I will undoubtedly have a better view, I think the noise of the planes also helps me, as they camouflage the sound of my footsteps as I climb.
I don't know if you can see me lying on the top of the watchtower, I'm patiently waiting for my target, the concept that I love the most in this game is that basically just one shot could change the course of the story.
In the meantime, I take advantage of the video game's cinematics to take these amazing screenshots while calibrating and preparing my rifle scope.
My target is an important pillar in the Nazi leadership elite. He seems to be very well backed up by his guards, however, I have a big advantage with my rifle and accuracy...
I take a deep breath, since the wind direction, and pull the trigger!
And now comes my favourite part of the game mechanics, the slow motion while the bullet takes its path before impact. Something I want to clarify is that these cameras are scarce because I can only get them when I shoot with an extensive distance and precision.
In short, epic shots!
Taking advantage of every second of the slow motion, I took this photo of the bullet just inches from the führer's face. It even looks as if he was going to dodge it.
Finally, photograph the sequence from bullet entry to exit, and only this in real time happens very fast to our perception!
Just look at the guard's micro-expressions that change in each photo until he realizes the tragedy.
Please leave me a comment about which videogame you consider epic, following this same style. On the other hand, while playing I found moments of tension with every shot, and speaking of that there are some hidden things or challenges that can be done in this one while playing, but that will be the subject of another post.
