people also don't understand that the maps in this game are what makes it look good.. and these are not their own maps. just marketplace assets. and this is why they can't really give you new content or new maps that fit custom game modes.

[@Dash62g]

Very much this. These are stock/marketplace assets made by a professional, or a team of professionals, then formatted into something usable in an arena shooter. There's a limited pool of new content they can pull from before they have to build their own maps. But I imagine this game was never intended to have a long life span. They saw a short-lived fad on the horizon and capitalized on it. Can't blame em too much. The game is still functional (mostly) and the genre of bodycam stuff was only going to be this big for a short time.

Finally someone talking sense about this game. I think people mistake "camera realism" for realism (and/or graphical photorealism). Bodycam absolutely nails camera realism, and because we are used to seeing camera recordings played back on screens, when a game mimics that... on a screen... I think it tricks our brains into thinking it's photorealism. But really it's smoke and mirrors: a collection of carefully chosen shaders and graphical tricks that obfuscate the 3D game engine graphics by conveying (fairly low fidelity) camera artefacts. It does a really good job at this and it's a cool concept for what it is but it's certainly not "realism". I think that lens flare in games is another example of this "camera realism": we don't actually have lens flare in our eyes but we expect it to be there on a screen because it's there in camera footage.

Isn't Unrecord the game with the trailer that made people go nuts?

Yes. Unrecorded might still be a banger, as it's a narrative solo experience, which lends itself to the bodycam perspective.

Honestly I can’t believe what I heard. “The gunfire is to loud” the gun sounds are the best I’ve ever heard in my life. I love how loud and realistic they are. I’ve also never played a game with the unique movement bodycam has. I love both of these. It’s a nice change up from games that you’re trying to compare it to such as squad. I have (squad, 6 days, RoN, Grayzone warfare, arma) they’re all very similar and bodycam is an arcade styled shooter with realistic ballistics and I like that. It’s a nice change from other milsim games to just play game modes yet keep that realistic feel. I don’t know why you say it’s absolutely no realism. It’s not a survival simulator but the ballistics are realistic 100%

[@ControlledPairsGaming]

This is a great take. Genuinely. Nothing at all wrong with enjoying it! It just irks me that it was advertised as an uber-realistic hardcore tactical shooter and it's not that.

[@H8ED1]

It's perspective realism. I think it's a really cool idea. A lot of games try too hard to look real. But the graphical magic they use to make it seem realistic is really damn cool. It's not earth shattering but it's insanely interesting.

Not everything is going to be hyper realistic in every tactical shooter, the developers have to balance the game and make a well rounded gaming experience.

[@TheTerminatorCarrot]

I keep seeing Bodycam pop up in shorts on YT & other socials. I like the premise, but from what I've seen, it does need refinement & to properly define itself. Of what I did see, nothing said "tactical shooter" - to me, it just looks like a mostly standard arcade shooter with some unique styling & quick TTK (nothing wrong with that, assuming that's the intended direction). If the devs truly want to foster an environment around tactical gameplay, they need to make enough changes to the gameplay loop to force players to think about their actions & how the opposing team can counter that, and make them use that information to win the game. Achieving it wouldn't be overly difficult - new gear & new game modes would be a decent start. Alternatively, if they're trying to make an arcade-style shooter with high degrees of immersion & "lite tactical" gameplay (for want of a better term), then they need to re-examine their intent, their target audience and their marketing strategy. There's no point marketing the game in the same vein as games like Squad, Ready or Not, etc., if the game doesn't share the same basic qualities in regards to gameplay. I'd hate to see the game fail, but I think it's likely to if the devs don't seriously examine what they want to achieve with this title. At least they have the Early Access phase to figure that out, I guess.

[@JackMaslovLive]

Personally, this game sold me because of the "springy" camera and gun movement I saw in gameplay video. It does make it very realistic looking, cause like irl, you would first aim your gun and eyes and then turn your head and body. I know this isn't the only way to design this, I think the camera movement is a little behind of what it should, but it gives character to the game. It took me about 2 hours of play time until I could start consistently landing my shots but I quite enjoy this unique experience compared to COD game and etc. Body movement is slow, especially the transition from sprinting to aiming (I think it takes a whole second for the player just to lift the gun after sprinting), which basically means, you're dead if you're not aiming.

Slap a BODYCAM filter on any other game with photorealistic graphics and it’ll look better/the same.

I buy pretty much every game in the tac shooter genre to give it a go and get a feel for it, but this is one of the few I've passed up on. I've been telling my friends for a while now, that the idea of a bodycam perspective shooter is gonna make someone a lot of money, and then the fad will fall off once people get hands on and dislike the lack of precision control. This game, from the get-go, struck me as an inpressive tech showcase, but a very short-lived shallow game. (Which you can say for a lot of games in this genre, but to my knowledge this one doesnt have PvE to prolong it's lifespan in my steam library)

[@Dash62g]

To be clear, I really like games where the gun is precise and exact, but your control of where it's pointing isn't. Like Insurgency Sandstorm, Squad ICO, SCP 5K, ect. I just knew that whatever game released first in this new wave of body-cam shooters was bound to garner interest from outside of the tac shooter games niche. Outside of our niche, the average person wants instant mouse-dpi perfect aiming and this game not having that would turn the larger outside player base off. And player falloff in a PVP-only game like this means you either play during week one when there's still hype, or you miss the wave and get lobbies with exclusively people who are gonna and rinse you by knowing every peek and exploit.

[@Dash62g]

Glad you touched on the casual gamer thing towards the end. "Moving a goalpost" is the perfect way to describe it.

The manoeuvrability of the weapon and your player is just so janky. I stopped playing Squad after 1,500 hours when they made the changes to their combat system, although I can see why they did it. But it just makes zero sense to me why you would do this in a CQC game.

i play vr shooters and fighting games in my backyard or my living room. i move around with my actual body which makes the game more immersive, still gotta use the stick to turn when ur at a weird angle.

A. They didnt say it was realistic, they said and I quote "photorealistic". It was an arcade shooter the moment it was conceptualized, everyone who booted up the game, with the cosmetic loadouts, noisy phonk music, round based objectives, and random weapons have realized that right from playing it. B. The "solution" is not even for the right problem. Cuz the problem doesnt even exist. Nobody said its trying to be a tactical shooter, nobody said its trying to be a mil sim. The game is just changing the perspective of how you play a COD game in UE5, there were no exaggerated promises, there were no hypetrain. Its just 2 french guys trying to make a game they think is cool for their friends and other to enjoy. At the very end of this video, i had zero idea what youre trying to point out. I honestly think its down to what you would consider as realistic. Graphics? Yes, lighting and crazy graphics, this game even has a funstioning mirror. Mechanics? I mean the clip of you shooting is basically 1:1 with the game, gun animations are just sub par. Atmosphere? It can fool the untrained eye, the ragdolls in this game is insane. These makes others would call it realistic, cuz theres no ither simple way to say it.

[@ControlledPairsGaming]

"Bodycam is the first ultra-realistic multiplayer, first-person shooter game" The first sentence of the steam description.

[@vltraviolence7640]

@@ControlledPairsGaming thats their steam description before it was even greenlight or the first play test was even released since last year, thats their twitter bio too. Thats cuz theyre not active on social media at all. They realized it doesnt encompasses the entire word of realism thats why their launch trailer they changed it to "photo" realism. Thats the most nit picked excuse bullshit I've ever heard. "Oh the audacity of two frenchies who can't even speak good english to misinterpret MY understanding of what realistic is." The rest of what i said still stands.

[@iAMJohnCurry]

yall are tripping..this the BEST FPS to come out in a LONG TIME..this is bad info. the player CONTROLLER is the most realistic there has been to date...the gun swing and aim is actually proper and takes real skill and know-how to do well in it. it does not reward players who only think they are good at shooters because many "tac-shooters" currently out remove the actual intricacies of video-game fps combat. and let you easily kill enemies with no actual gun accuracy, skill or ability. Bodycam puts the skill gap BACK into hard-core tac shooters. and not just sitting in some corner and camping over head glitches all day, that wont work if you want to beat better players in Bodycam.... this game is hitting the genre AND MARKET hard. with a thriving community and one thats consistently growing..after playhing Bodycam, other games dont even feel remotely fun any more, the only other fun tactical shooter right now is Gray Zone warfare

[@Battery-acid2]

Exactly.

[@FiveDrop572]

I completely agree. As a guy who really only enjoys military strategy-style games like HLL, GZW, squad, and post scriptum, I actually really like this take on the “arcadey” style. Aside from the weird way the guns are designed and the whole no fire selector thing, the gunplay is very accurate. and also, to the guy in the vid saying the guns are too loud, NO THEY ARE NOT. Guns are LOUD, deal with it.

I always thought it looks like a 2010 era Crysis mod with a shaky camera and lots of blur.

Really good critique. Reminds me of the realism vs. authenticity debates of SWAT 4, RON.

Now see i have played this game for 40-50 hours and it is crazy good everything in bodycam is amazing if you get super good on the game it is a lot more fun WHY ARE SO MANY HATING ON THIS GAME 😞

It's a assettflip bro, The hate in the game makes sense, imagine paying $30 to play with assets from the store, that's not worth it, not even the price they charge

[@craigh1790]

Good analysis of how this game fits into the genre. Thanks.

[@billydiesel8520]

I see a burgeoning channel here that will be a real asset to FPS/milsim/action games. Subbed, keep it up bro.

[@Callsign_Grouch]

I immediately recognized that house map from the old school ready or not mods. I think it was one of the first (or close to it) RoN maps that came out on nexus gaming. Wait is that also the “run down” map from Ground Branch as well? Bruhh

[@disposalll]

that’s pretty fair, but it’s still in early access and these things will most likely be fixed in a few months and these kind of issues are why early access exists

[@lucassantana7930]

Tried this game today, and imma say that it’s not as realistic as people say, it looks really realistic while watching on a smaller screen, but once you’re in it, you can really see how much it’s just an under-average looking game with a filter to hide it all.

[@marianolaguzzi]

What I dislike about this game the most is that it just doesn't have a vision. It's not creative at all. The gameplay is classic team deathmatch, what's more uninspired than that? The visual style, although unusual, is literally just a copy of unrecord to beat them to the punch and be the first game with the bodycam look, while everyone was trying filters, reshade and whatnot to make normal games look like that. The maps are even just marketplace assets from what I've heard. There is literally not one thing in this game that is even just a remotely original concept. And that's the thing for me, like unrecord also got all the hype for that super realistic look with the bodycam filter, but that seems to have a vision from I've seen, they make you play as a police officer, with some sort of a story or something. The bodycam makes sense because it's meant to immerse you in that idea of being an officer. In this game however it's just slapped on there because it's the current trend and there's nothing more boring than that. 40$ for an early access game that doesn't have a shred of unique ideas? Hard pass.

[@brawler5760]

This dude was made by 2 dudes, yeah, but the asking price for this? I could just buy the whole STALKER trilogy for that same price and get more mileage outta that. In fact, I can download Anomaly and GAMMA, and use the Bodycam preset mod

[@mauromaresmr]

What VR games did you showcase?

[@andrewpaull7485]

I don't really need the bodycam filter, and the gamemodes aren't my thing. And I definitely consider it more a tech demo. But as far as the gunplay it's easily the most enjoyable I've played. Loved the gun movement/sound. I didn't find it slow either & found it refreshing not to have a fixed gun camera, wish more games went this route for flat screen tbh. I don't play vr so my opinion may change if did, but being able to move gun without camera fixed feels great.

[@houseofhas9355]

NGl, this game given me headaches and uncomfortable feeling of blurr. Are you suppose to get the full feeling of this game with VR expensive googgles? Its seem like people are just shooting what they can't see. The spray and pray cod method, but a game. 😂

[@grigoryalexandrovitchpecho6934]

Love that you included the real helmet cam perspective for comparison, should help put this silly gaming trend to rest.

[@Sceptre1]

When the front site post of a stock M4/M16 (don't recall of what it was) float away from the read sight I was done with the game

[@BigBadMoose]

This was the honest kind of opinion I've been looking for about that game. I'll hold off buying it until some updates.

[@codenamedingo6271]

Agreed, to touch another point on the anti realism front, taking 5 business days to get a sight picture on an optic is completely unrealistic, anytime i tried to pan left or right, even just slightly, the sight picture completely disappears. It's as if they dont understand how a cheek weld works or how easy it is to hold a sight picture when scanning left to right or up and down. That aspect completely made me not want to touch the game until its further developed.

[@InTenTiinz]

Body cam head cam no matter what I personally enjoy the game, the made the gun loud bc as they said even irl guns are loud. And you can irl put a go pro on your head but it kinda looks as if you’re looking through the eyes but a camera at the same time. And yes I can very much say graphical wise and movement wise, this is one of the most realistic games that I have played. Now it may not be the best but I enjoy playing it bc it’s realistic enough, people need to stop disliking a game that’s called realistic when in all reality it’s very very close to being just that. Good game overall i recommend getting it if you wanna enjoy some realism

[@psyanide1996]

Wow dude. So many haters XD "People don't understand X" "People don't know what real realism is" The game plays uniquely and the overall experience feels really fun to me and my friends. The menu music pumps me up for the virtual murder about to happen. The little details like when bodies hit the floor and jerk around for awhile feels realistic enough to be a bit disturbing, which is spot on. It's an absolute blast at LANs (yeah, we still do those where I live) because it uses peer to peer networking instead of some short sighted, braindead dedicated server 'solution' (looking at you, Evolve...) This is still early days and being done by literally a couple of guys. I say let them cook and try not to be so pedantic. Accurate Mil sims are not everybody's cup of tea - also they are releasing a zombie PvE mode this month - I really don't think the developers were going for total real life accuracy here.

[@VisceraOpus]

I think its really immersive and plays out very...tactically. I agree it is using immersion to develop a false sense of reality but it kinda works. I feel like im controlling a little dude from his hat. And im not sure how much all that ammo and gear is going to slow you down, but i do think it would help to add some weight burdening physics to the weapons. Maybe check how fast you are with a plated vest and a rifle slung over your back Overall i think you put forth some good feedback and i would think the devs could use something like that in the discord

[@SekaiNoMaster]

basically [Bodycam] is a counterstrike source for Unrecord which will be Half life 2. - - ) )) kind of like an experimental project where they trying to figure out player's behavior toward something very experimental.... its just too damn expensive.

[@fabiopaschoa797]

All that can be said: "I don't like it" / "I like it". Anything else is just "My mom didn't bring me the cookies now I'm pissed" behavior.

VR is the future of tactical shooters, it's weapon manipulation is second to none.

[@WheeledHamster]

Post processing the game.

[@Bro_Barnes]

disclaimer I have not played yet. Im curious though, you mentioned the gunfire loudness as an issue in your opinion. From my perspective, this element seems to increase the realism since guns are very loud (assuming no ear pro) and I would think it adds to realism instead of taking away. For instance, I love ground branch, but I think the sfx weapon volume is not loud enough and does not have enough "reverb" i.e. when shooting in an open area I would like to hear the extended sound of the round - similar to Arma III or Operation Harsh Doorstop - which are games I think do the sfx really well. Thoughts? edit- just read its not that big of a deal for you. :) Final words on my end, I do think the game should be appreciated for what it is, insanely realistic graphics and a unique style of gameplay. To each their own, love the game or hate it, either way its all good.

[@LITTG_Technician]

Ig I understand, in that, not only is BODYCAM moving goalposts in a genre that does not need goalposts moved, it's also doing it artificially. If you want to give a chance to the people who are interested in making actual tactical shooters, BODYCAM hurts those chances.

[@totenfurwotan4478]

I think it’s a great framework but right now it’s simply a proof of concept more then a game

[@LilxChef]

Your real life headcam footage absolutely obliterates this game's claim to realism. From the moment I witnessed Bodycam gameplay, I was enraged by the movement and aiming mechanics. It's like the devs asked themselves what it would look like if police officers were drunk on the job. Edit: I would also love to see your perspective as this game progresses (such as the new zombies mode) in future videos! This video was very well made and informative :)

[@joefish818]

I believe the movement is due to them guessing how Unrecord's movement works just by looking at it. They're basically trying to replicate something without knowing how it actually works.

[@devinkb7738]

Graphics look good, but the ability to aim and shoot is trash. He's right this game should be a VR title.
