It’s weird people complaining about the realism. Now a days people scream “not realistic, looks like a PS2 game, etc” now people complain graphics are “too real”
Damn you said it right. It looks cool as fuck.
Looks like if battlefield actually gave a damn again
IF this ever comes out (and that is a pretty huge if) it will probably run at like 10fps and be heavily downgraded on consoles and most computers.
How can you even make this for VR? The bodycam is not on the eye level but on the chest. It kinda defeats the purpose ain't it?
It looks like he’s playing some sort of vr tech demo with the way the animation is.
I wouldnt be suprised if Epic leaves a duffle bag full of money on their doorstep. This could end up being a better advertisement than all their UE5 showcases
Theres a lot of prediction that the "aiming" is essentially a massive amount of aim assist in favor of making it super cinematic
These filters remind me of kane and lynch 2 Dog Days. The camera filter and shake when in motion gave the game a real feel, and the pixel blurs on head shots or nude characters was great attention to detail.
I remember hearing about this tech that was suppose be the next step from the duck hunt gun but never came out
Can you imagine Redfall looking like this and not the pityfull state it's at?
Unreal engine is insane. I never would have guessed this was the future of video games as I playing street fighter on arcade when I was a kid.
So 2 things. #1 the aiming and animations are not tied to the camera. It does mean less accurate aiming. But it's realistic and also mean the same animation will be seen through different angles every time. So won't feel samy (like a game). #2 The camera style, both hide graphical imperfections and trigger realism for our brain.
Unreal engine is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Put simple its just working smarter, not harder. So I believe it.
No way it's real..this is something i'd expect from an fps 10 years from now maybe
Abandoned was abandoned. 😢
Could be legit, I mean someone HAS to push the envelope and make a hyper realistic game.
okay, i really thought the gameplay was a real footage at first..i thought the creator want to show the concept of what he's gonna make..that's impressive af
the footage looks cool, but this seems like right now might be this game's moment, moreso than when/if it actually comes out. looking at the footage, i can't figure out how it's going to be controlled since the camera and weapon seem to be moving independently? is the camera lagging behind the gun? i'd love for this to actually live up to this footage as i still hold a soft spot in my heart for kane & lynch 2 and would love a similar sort of experiential shooter.
It's so weird maybe it's just my eyes being shitty but for some reason the still shots make it look alil more gamey to me idk why lol
I want a found footage lovecraftian horror game. This looks awesome and I always enjoyed found footage.
Can't wait for Hardcore Henry to be a game one day! 😂
I been burnt too many times until it's released its fake.. e3 footage of watchdog example
Its mostly just camera effects , movement and the animation that makes it look so good. I am really excited to this because it'll be so immersive than any of the fps shooters in the market currently.
THIS! THIS Is what we wanted Modern Day Battlefield to look like! THIS is Bad Company 3.
Also funny enough the “Leaks” and all the bs rumors painted MW2 just like this.
I hope this is possible soon but knowing the industry well be lucky if this is what we can get a PS7 to look like.
Kane and Lynch 2 Dog Days did a great job visually with found footage.
Interesting for sure. Not sure I would play a game made in this style, but it’s cool to learn more about it. Also, for me, even just watching YouTube footage actually makes me a little woozy, and I don’t even get motion sick in VR.
I wish they’d bring back the old style Rainbow six with all the planning etc, the new stuff is dumbed down rubbish
I M P R E S S I V E
Jus looks wack tbh lmao idk y anyone thought about this the moment it left their eyesight.
The shooting without crosshairs or aiming down the sites proves one thing: There's aiming assist in this singleplayer game!
I want a F.E.A.R game like this
Great video/conversation! I think it looks awesome and would be pretty cool. We’ll see. Everything with a grain of salt.
Maybe the entire game is on rails and you don't actually control the movement like in Rambo the video game. Maybe that's why it's so well animated.
I had a dream I was teleporting around as Tracer from Overwatch the other day. I don't know if my brain can handle a game like this.
Bigggggggg difference between Unrecord and Day before. Unrecord is an actual game and I have a strong feeling it will be awesome.
I hope it is real because it looks great. If it is, could launch a whole new era of games.
Apparently the real locations have been scanned and used as the textures etc. It was originally a UE5 test.
I feel like aiming and stuff will be very similar to games like insurgency. There’s like a circle over the middle of the screen where you can move the gun freely, when you hit the edges you turn the camera or maybe holding a mouse button moves your view and fixes the weapon position. We’ve seen stuff like this in tactical shooters before but the animations are much more lifelike here which brought it all into the uncanny valley. I hope there’s not a bait and switch here but can understand people reservations about it.
It seems they are using some kind of for honor aiming/ blocking system to move the hands, like the sway motions and the side grip for the gun
Hopefully it comes to console. Would be the first fps I play in years
Honestly, this would be impressive in psvr 2😅
