The border between reality and the virtual has never been so thin. The independent French studio Drama has just unveiled the images of the gameplay of its new game “Unrecord”, in a breathtaking official teaser. The level of graphics of this first -person shooting game (FPS) has never been reached before. The images are so impressive of realism that even video game specialists and players do not come back.

The shooting game offers a “bodycam” point of view in order to offer a more immersive experience close to reality. It is very similar to images of military or police operations. Here, it is not only a question of mechanically killing enemies. The character you play (a police officer) must interact in complex dialogues and make moral choices depending on the situation. Each choice will influence the game scenario. The narration full of twists and turns is inspired by the greatest crimes, where you can develop your own tactic. It is necessary to investigate several cases to progress. You have to act quickly and keep your cool, all in an ultra-realistic setting.

Powerful graphics engine

If the game is as well done, it is because it has been developed thanks to the Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine, whose latest version (5.2) was unveiled with great fanfare by the Epic Games studio last March. This graphic engine is currently the most powerful on the market. He is able to make high -performance and real -time 3D graphics for video game developers. The games developed thanks to Unreal Engine 5 are qualified as “realistic photo” because they seek to reproduce a visual appearance close to reality.

This video game is so realistic that it becomes disturbing

The French studio Drama makes a strong impression, with the first gameplay video of the game Unrecord, An “FPS bodycam” which is betting on realism to convince.

Today’s technologies allow video games to merge with reality.

On April 19, the French studio shared on YouTube the first images of what it claims to be an “bodycam fps” and there is clearly material to be amazed by what we see.

Unrecord is still only in its infancy, but what Drama has managed is already convincing. The photorealism reached by the video game is such that one might make many people believe that these are real images – its creator has defended himself to have created a real game. The animations are particularly successful, especially the way the weapon moves on the screen. The same can be said of the quality of the textures or the reflections. Only the slightly frozen decorations remind that this is a video game, not an interactive film. For the rest, it’s really stunning and immersive. This trompe-l’oeil rendering is assumed by the developers.

Drama also highlights the original aim, desired as authentic as possible and governed by more freedom in hand movements. This point will lead to ” A minimalist and tactical approach “, Where the error will be paid cash.

Unrecord has arguments to assert and he needs an editor and investors. To date, no release date has been communicated, but it will not be available in 2023.
