On the one hand this looks really well done, but on the other hand: who wants to play computer games in what looks like a paintball stage? Too much realism starts to look boring and mundane at some point ;)

And when Unreal Engine 5 makes photorealism easier than before, people may become numb to it. Chasing for photorealism is going to yield diminishing results, and given the pace of how graphics technology develops, it's going to age like milk. If I was a game developer, I would make more effort for art direction and stylized graphics instead of chasing photorealism.

@QuentinCallaghan honestly pretty vile vibes from this one; bodycam murder simulator is at the very least politically tonedeaf and at worst actively malicious.

But isn't that the rehashed argument that Jack Thompson, Dave Grossman & co. made about video games causing violence?
