For Games of 2022, Ian became fascinated with some brilliant works of art
Any game that lets you to shoot Nazis in the testicles and then watch as an X-ray cross-section of their undercarriage unfolds to show their plums popping in slow-motion has no right to be a good-looking as Sniper Elite 5. Nevertheless, I was consistently surprised by how detailed and lifelike the miniature open-world environments in Rebellion's gratuitously gory snipe-em-up could be.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the game's Spy Factory level, which is set in and around a stunning recreation of Normandy's famous tidal island, Mont-Saint-Michel. The approach to this island is littered with photo-realistic rocks and sand dunes that feel like they've been plucked straight out of the ground from the actual location.
One of the reasons why Sniper Elite 5's levels look so damn good is down to a process called environmental photogrammetry . Rebellion's in-house artists used environmental photogrammetry to create most of the assets for the game, and that's why everything from trees to tanks to simple textures looks so sharp and exact.
This fun little painting caught my eye in Sniper Elite 5. I dont know anything about Rebellion dev's, but I love finding stuff like this.
