Unrecord - Official Early Gameplay Trailer

[@Lelacjer]

To me, those are the least realistic aspects. The blur is too perfect, too even. It looks more like a static blur than a motion one. And the smoke while moving doesn't seem to be responding to air currents, only the movement of the holder. Granted, smoke is hard to do and I'm not saying this thing looks bad.

Nearly everybody has seen youtube body-cam footage, and this developer takes advantage of that brilliantly. The little chromatic aberration at the edges of the lens (let alone the wide-angle lens itself), juuuuust the right amount of motion blur, and crisp Nanite environments that look straight out of someone's airsoft video.

Reminds me of a tip I heard from an artist: draw only what you can see, not what you know you are seeing. In real life, especially through the lens of a camera, you can’t see all the small details. Games nowadays feel unrealistic because they’re actually TOO detailed. Games look more real when the graphics are designed around what the human eye could realistically perceive instead of everything being as detailed as possible.

[@Mikri90]

@@magmapixel8627 very good quote from that artists. I fully agree that games kind of try going for too much. The result is that hyper-realistic feeling, where everything seems too deliberate and planned out. Real life is rarely like that, even in meticulously designed spaces some things just happen naturally and spontaneously. That's why games look "gamy" and this demo (almost) looks like footage, because it emulates the idea very well. Not that I dislike gamy-looking games, I do for the most part and I do not think games should necessarily try to emulate real life (it really boils down to genre and what is the goal for the game), but we can say that a lot of those that do try to emulate real life often take the same missteps while doing so.

That’s how photogrammetry works. You take multiple pictures of an object then a program takes those pictures and turns them into usable 3D assets and or textures

[@MentalParadox]

It "feels like that" because that's exactly what they did. All the assets in the game are using downloadable megascans from the UE asset store. In the past, it wasn't really possible to load that many megascans in real time, but with UE5, you can throw any amount of stuff in there and the engine will handle it. However, be prepared for Unrecord to take up a "Record" amount of drive space, as those megascans are HUGE.

No proof of concept (no storyboards, no early character or level designs, not even a BASIC plot synopsis or a simple name for the protagonist has been provided- all sketchy red flags 3. Like cheaters in math class in school, they have this supposed "playable, functioning" game DEMO in the "early stages of production" that is somehow completely polished with post production sounds effects, environmental and LIGHT RENDERING effects, and glitch-free/lag free FLAWLESS "hyper realistic" graphics? 4. Everything said about the "game" has been vague and full of hype language, not ACTUAL vision or anything remotely tangible. 5. No matter how good the tech has gotten, AAA developers haven't been able to reach that kind of realism, even the GTA 5 hyper-reality mod that has been continuously worked on for YEARS doesn't look real enough that people are debating if it is FMV, fake, real, etc. 6. Their "studio" website is pretty much EMPTY and has NOTHING other than this hype "trailer" and a bunch of vague "answers" on a DISINGENUOUS list of BS questions with BS answers. 7. Their "press kit" is nothing but a web page link to a GOOGLE DRIVE folder with a redundant copy of the "trailer" and a "pitch points" PDF that looks Ike something a highschooler made for a graphic design class. 8. On top of NO credibility or credentials being provided, these three have ZERO portfolios of work to offer to demonstrate their legitimacy as game devs with prior experience. 9. Their "about us/contact us" info has NO business credentials or address where their "studio" is physically located, not even a simple city name. 10. Studios Drama does NOT exist anywhere but social media accounts these guys made - no business records results come up, no addresses, no phone numbers - no respectable venture holds such basics so close to the chest (I'm assuming they only reveal things like location and phone when someone bites and offers them financial backing). 11. FINALLY, There is NEVER a repeated movement by the "character." Every reload, every section of walking or running is unique. That is unheard of in all of video games. Completely organic and random human movements??? Completely perfect "hyper realistic weapon discharge visuals AND sou d that changes with surroundings???? In a "demo????" That they have carefully pretended to "prove is legit" while not proving anything (and not showing someone actively playing the "demo" so we can see their actions affect the character on the screen - proving it is a functional demo, and not just some STAGED VIDEO RECORDING with a few deliberate computer generated overlays and effects to make simpler people THINK it is real.

[@ceeeeeeeeejay]

This game already gets a ton of credit for how immersive it is from a visual stand point. And don’t get me wrong, it definitely is. But I think what truly elevates the experience to the next level is the immaculate sound design. Everything from the sound of the bullets falling down to even the slight rustle from your clothes with every sharp turn, it really makes the whole experience uncannily resemblant of our own world. It’s still beyond me to see that this project is actually real, and I have nothing but respect for the amount of effort the devs must have put in to match such a specific style that I wouldn’t find most AAA devs having the guts to accomplish. Bravo, DRAMA 👏

[@masterTigress96]

I actually think that the sound design needs some more work. Some of the sounds don't even give me the feeling they were in game, but rather added in post during the edit for this preview. It sounds a bit too much like stock Hollywood sound effects or something. I don't know if that is because of the theme or "aesthetic" they were going for, but if I had a say in the production, I would make e.g. the footsteps louder, maybe more hollow and add more reverb. Same for the other sounds. It sounds a little too "clean" for bodycam footage. The Gopro's of this world for example have awful recording abilities as most of them are trapped in their translucent plastic cases that are not ideal for recording audio. Some of the guns also sound weird. In the scene were a drone hits a metal support beam, the sound of the drone itself is good (I would add a little more of a metallic effect when it hits the beam), but the guy who's firing out you in that scene sounds like he has a Hollywood shotgun, when it looks like he wasn't wielding one later on in the video although it is difficult to see. Maybe the developer can way in on this. Also, they should ditch the silly blur effect. I see no reason to add it in. It just distracts from the realism this game provides. The game is só close to being almost photo realistic that I think adding this effect is just taking the piss out of your own hard work.

[@SgtGuarnereDD]

You are definitely not wrong. Lighting and (its) reflections are by far the hardest thing to process for current computers. There are so many variables that come into play for lighting to look realistic as light will bounce off of objects, sometimes multiple times. Even the slightest flaw in an object can send a ray of light into a completely different direction. In real life we barely notice this, but it's that kind of detail that makes the world around us look the way it does. Only recent innovations like Lumen have made us reach the point that we're able to simulate those kinds of imperfections, which directly translate to a more realistic looking world, without needing insane hardware to run it at decent framerates.

@@Tattlebot You can't say umpromising the story could be well writen if it even has one. You just got 2 lines off this video come on now

The reload s and jam clearing and even the gun recoil is spot on

[@Phych0path]

1:23 most human reloading ever I'm impressed

As much as I'd want to play this game. I know the second i open my pc will combust into flames. Overall this game is INCREDIBLE, got me thinking this was real

[@optimise.]

This is looking really interesting, looking forward to seeing more. If the game feels as smooth as it looks here it’ll be huge.

[@twistedeyeernest9238]

Unsure how they can make it feel smooth since to make the camera behave like this you give away a ton of responsiveness, makes it look good in a video but could be absolutely awful to play. Hoping that they managed solve the problem or find a good balance.

@raptorwarrior It is unlikely that bugs are special evidence -_-

Also the dude running by the door is uncanny.

The last time my jaw dropped like this for a videogame was in 1996, I was 14 and I saw Super Mario 64 for the first time.

I opened this video randomly and thought to myself "oh, one of those real life replicas of an FTS game".. only at 0:54 with the kick, it got my attention and at 1:03 in the dark I realized that it's not after effects, but an actual video game! holy moly! I am in shock! 😳
