Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Demo

The story for Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is similar to the other stories in the previous games, with a few changes to make it its own. This time around, players will take on the role of an American sniper that is dropped into the European country of northern Georgia very close to the Russian border. As the lone warrior the Americans are sending in, the players will be leaned on in an attempt to stop a brewing cold war.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Demo

In total, there are 3 different gameplay styles that can be used in each and every mission. The players can take on the role of a sniper, ghost and warrior. Each of these approaches have a different way in which the missions will be finished depending on whether the player wants to go in blasting, attempt to take out the targets from the safety of a long distance nest, or right up close.

The game's recent showing at Gamescom is a true testament to this principle. During the 20 minute demo, there wasn't a single shot fired, although later hands-on reveals exactly how it feels to pull the trigger. During the demo it's all about preparing for an ambush by Georgian separatists, which is due to take place during the wedding of a guerrilla leader. Your character is the sensibly-named Jonathan North (not voiced by Nolan North, surprisingly) who has gone undercover to find his brother (also a sniper, also called North, not voiced by Nolan North) in eastern Europe.

Finally, North clambers over the rooftops in the town to lay down a couple of sniper nests, placing his .50 cals at strategic points. A rooftop over-looking the main road is a good site, as is the conveniently located 'deserted church spire'. Classic. With all the busy-work done... the demo ends. What a massive tease.
