Incredible \u2018body cam\u2019 shooting game in development goes viral Alexandre S.An independent developer recently unveiled a realistic-looking body cam shooting game, whose reveal trailer went viral on social media. Realism and first-person shooters have gone hand-in-hand for quite some time. Graphical fidelity and highly detailed environments constitute just parts of the larger equation, though. Gameplay mechanics intensify these experiences as well, yet some would argue that little has improved on this front in recent years. At least in the AAA space. In many respects, indie developers often lead the charge in innovation, pushing the envelope in ways that risk-averse publishers would rather avoid. As advanced technology becomes more readily available, creators in the indie space have pushed the limits even further. But some onlookers can\u2019t help but ponder how far is too far. Indie dev unveils body cam-centric first-person shooting game Technical Artist Alexandre S. has showcased footage of a \u201cbody cam style\u201d indie game. Powered by Unreal Engine, the project seems to take place in an abandoned building where players will engage in shootouts. Other details about the game remain under wraps at the time of writing, but the developer promised additional videos will go live sometime \u201csoon.\u201d The unnamed body cam game teaser went viral online, evidenced by its 22,000-plus retweets and nearly 182,000 likes on Twitter. Notably, there\u2019s already an air of divisiveness surrounding the project. For instance, some think it\u2019s veering toward \u201ca bit too real.\u201d Its uncanny resemblance to content associated with the likes of LiveLeak has others intrigued, however. Should the final product ever see the light of day, discussions about its similarities to real body cam footage will more than likely pervade internet discourse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
