Your SERJ is fantastic - immediate follow.

[@disneyluver93]

There is no way you can sound that accurate to Serj and Daron. I'm in complete disbelief. If we ever need a replacement for vocals on either of the two you could absolutely fill in without many people noticing. Like you could just straight up be Scars on Broadway for the most part and pass it off. You nailed the Hypnotize/Mezmerize Serj vocal motifs it's just crazy. Absolutely forwarding this to all my friends.

@@tatashieI’d be surprised if somebody made mod in rdr enabling realtime camera tracking and compositing. I’ll bet it’s just a western asset library mixed with Quixels free photoscans. Also, there’s some pretty hardcore aliasing in the background, so I feel like if it was in rdr’s engine, these visual artifacts would be ironed out better. But it does very much look like red dead! I’d be curious to see if doing virtual production in games is a good option. Especially in crazy worlds like cyberpunk!
