When the first gameplay footage of Unrecord released at the end of last week many felt this video game was a fake. It not only looks incredibly realistic but has a unique, video-like quality. Well, Unrecord is no hoax and that impressive sense of realism is actually a very old type of optical illusion.
Unrecord is a first-person shooter being developed by new studio Drama. It apes the movement and look of bodycam footage. The game is being developed using Unreal Engine 5 (read our Unreal Engine 5 review for more on this impressive technology) and took many by surprise when the first gameplay was released. The camera moves and sways in a realistic way, and almost looks unlocked from the character's arms, an unusual thing in video games.
