Bodycam as a concept looks amazing, but it's still lacking content and game modes even in its early access state. Definitely one to add to you watchlist to see how it progresses. Also, apologies at 01:19 where a rogue graphic appears on screen. I forgot to take that out. Stupid Reggie. Love to you all xxx
im not an xxx but i can say that 30euros for this ...less than halfGame...cashGrab like you said; i was thinking to give them 9.99euro for them supporting the project for the next year but is not good for ...3-6hours of play :( that amount of money;
Crazy how 2 french kids managed to achieve better visuals than any high budget AAA studio Also they made it in less than 1 year, since the unrecord footage is like a year old and they wanted to be first to market. Clever little rats
@@KingOfComedyXD I don't really think that's a fair thing to say. "better" visuals, as in, more realistic visuals. and "more realistic" visuals as in photorealistic visuals. Photorealism is a completely different goal to actual realism, which most unreal games are already in. the difference is just whether you're emulating a camera, or the human eye
In india it costed me for 1345₹ indian rupees which is equivalent to 16.09 USD so at this price its one of the most groundbreaking and realistic game I've ever played
In Australia it’s $50.95AUD, which is currently the equivalent of $33.09 USD, which is giving me second thoughts about buying it. I’d totally grab it if it was available to me for $16 or $11 USD. I reckon I’ll wait for a sale
UNRECORD is a single player only title. Everyone forgets this. Bodycam was made for those who wanted PvP. Tech demo or not, the game runs well, plays well and is fun. idk why you'd want to take the "bodycam" aspect out of the game, it would be a crap 4 map shooter with no merit. The choices made in development of Bodycam make it at least a unique experience, don't like the body cam and movement, why don't you just play CoD? the price tag is steep but i do believe this will help 2 VERY YOUNG game devs fund the servers needed for matchmaking.
@@DMTEntity88maybe it’s Because your on 4K??? Also if you read the notes for the game the devs are asking for help to optimise the gaming experience. I got a 2080ti and running at 140 fps
@@brapitne4274 yeah people are acting like this is a whole ass company or some shit, but it's only 2 people, one being 17 and the other 20, and they've already made a better game than any of the newer COD games [and it's £30 so i don't know why people are complaining about that when they'll buy the new COD game for £70 when it's basically just the same game as the last one every time with little to no change, just different maps and more bullshit. [not to even mention the blackcell battle pass which is like £30] which is literally the price of Bodycam, when the "blackcell battle pass" is REALLY not worth the price, just for some cosmetics and yeah... Just some cosmetics.
Most people get 30fps by default. U should enable FSR. It triples fps Devs should just enable it by default since it boosts a ton of fps and the extra blur doesnt hinder the bodycam visuals too much as other normal games. the extra bit of blur helps the bodycam perspective
Completely disagree with the body cam angle. It's what makes it, removing would risk it feeling like any other game, love the clunkiness and I feel you do get great angles where you point the gun.
I love these comments, simply because it proves you took the time to watch my video and for that I’m thankful. We may not agree on it but I appreciate you taking your time to share your thoughts on it too. Cheers 🍻
The game needs to be polished but keep the body cam perspective. I think people will love the realism everyone had to struggle with the crappy fish eye lens and the swing of human error
Your hyper obsessing on the fact that it’s called body cam. If it was called realistic shooter and they never mentioned the body cam aspect we would all be just saying it looked real like we did with unrecord. I don’t think this is a fad I think it’s needed. But I also think your right about having a normal fpv perspective as long as the shooting is still difficult like insurgency sandstorm.
They really need to make ADS sights much closer and also have them be properly aligned. I know it's more realistic from chest pov but it hinders gameplay Some of the weapon sights feel a mile away. The Scar sight isnt even aligned so your only ADS point is from the barrel tip which is dumb
For the record, you said the maps were fantastically laid out and have tons of details. These are all asset packs. Ive seen the house in many horror games. The abandoned school was used in the first unrecord leak a long time ago. While whats here is cool, they just added the post processing, gunplay and basic win and lose functionality and are charging $30
I think you're writing off tons of hard work by saying "they just added..." because as someone who uses UE5 I can say that is a lot of work to tie all that stuff together. Is it worth $30? I dunno, haven't played it. But it looks really good. And they did beat Unrecord to the market with a functional game so they're going to be taking a slice of that audience.
@Vohaul214 I do 3D for work and I use UE5 all the time. I agree that the actual gunplay and animations are impressive but it really is just that and post processing. Every map is an asset pack not designed for a shooter and its using poor peer to peer connection
I thought this project was unrecord at first because i noticed it used the same maps and visuals Most people wouldn't research the difference. Many people that bought Bodycam think it's from the same devs that uploaded the initial unrecord footage Both studios are french btw.
I feel you got it right when you mentioned in theory these guys are walking around with their weapons sighted from their chest since it's a bodycam. I like the move toward realistic graphics, but yet another take on PvP does nothing for me. I'm clearly not the target audience. Also the pixelated/blurry images when holding some weapons is quite distracting. What is that meant to be?
Good question… I “think” it’s an artistic choice because where you are special forces they are trying to hide the identities of people on the “Bodycam” footage. In practice, it’s very distracting, especially as this Bodycam footage is in real time, and not being played out on a new channel. Thanks for the comment!
It is a good question. Because while human eyes can only focus with any clear definition on what they are actually staring at, modern CCD cameras do not have that restriction. So, if the view was truely a BodyCam, then the bluring shouldn't be there - unless the camera was being swayed too quickly for the digital data to be processed quick enough. But yeah, many examples shown here were not of that situation, so it should all be in focus - but then it would just look like virtually all other FPS games, so no novelty. So yeah, I agree with Reggie about 'artistic licence', but not exactly for the reasons he proffered.
@cockneygamer to my understanding the developers tried multiple variations of facial perfection but were unable to achieve it. As humans the first thing we realize is facial structure and realism when viewing individuals. The developers felt that since they were unable to master the "perfect face", they would blur them instead. I think it can be argued both ways.
The bodycam part makes it amazing and irl you see quite a bit of your own arms and hands if your shooting properly and not hunching in too shoot. I think this looks amazing and honestly am going to buy this game and hope they continue to improve on the game and make it into something better. The bodycam is what sets this game apart from games like Tarkov, cod, counterstrike or Rust all that have differences in shooting and all mechanics so I personally think this is an amazing work in progress and should continue to stick out from the crowd.
@cockneygamer The military is experimenting with augmented reality visers on their helmet. I'd say it's less than a decade out, so could just do that and at least its realistic technology only a few years out instead of some crazy magic gear like siege and can still blur faces etc give it that recording look and have the view point at eye level.
I think most people forget that this game is still In very early access, and I’m pretty sure the devs threw everything together last minute just so they can release it, like things such as the lobby and ui, and just some optimization is lacking. Maybe if this game goes as its roadmap promises, we can actually see a better game arise from the ashes, of a wildfire of disappointment. I have my hopes up, this game is still in infancy.
With the amount of potential this game has, I can accept the price of it under the condition that these developers use the money to continue developing it and turning it into something great. This video made some very good points, it felt ubiased, and critiques were constructive. Hopefully they get a chance to listen!
Appreciate the comment mate. I’ve always strived in my reviews to give a balanced opinion (and that’s all it is of course) even if I ultimately land on being positive or negative overall towards a game, so I’m glad this came through for you. And your first sentence absolutely sums it up… potential. This game has stacks of it. If they keep at it and reinvest who knows where it could lead us! Of course there is also the other bad option of them doing a few updates and moving on. Fingers crossed for the former. Cheers 🍻
For some reason I totally thought this was unrecorded And they just changed the name. I did get the game. It is fun. I think this one is more PVP focused and when unrecorded comes out it's more of a PVE by the looks of it
I did the same mistake, i played with it for 59 minutes and then refunded it. When i even cant change the volume of the guns i got mad xD And yeah clunky movement,getting stuck on the maps.. And yeah the maps are claustrophobic for me as a counterstrike player :p And that bomb scenario.. One in my team tried to defuse it, well he just took the bomb to the hand and hold it until it detonated xD
How I missed this - catching up on your content. Simply epic - yes many games are a huge let down, waste of money and turned by corporates into god knows what. But this reminds us what we love, LOU 1 epic, ooh that top down soccer forget its name I played the hell out of it. I’ve have some epic memories (now 55) of gaming from the start & especially some I shared with daughter when she was younger she not into most gaming now & busy with life. I have many games make me cry, make me think about them non stop, dream about them, tell, stop & swear like my swear box is the size of dumper truck. Thankyou you for making this I’m gonna re-watch it a few times just for my mental health 👍👍
Great bones for a good ultra realistic game. , sonne light hud elements ,could see extraction game modes and pve stuff in the future. Hopefully they keep updating it.
Good review man. I have to respectfully disagree about the body cam angle being a gimmick. I love it. You said around 2:45 that the body cam view makes it tricky to get around the map and hit quick angles - like that’s a negative. I think that’s wonderful! Makes the gameplay so much more realistic by slowing it down. If people want quick twitch fast fun fights with super fast ADS and quick peeking they have plenty of other games to choose from. That’s the whole reason I like this game. It’s not only realistic graphically, but also in gameplay. Tactical play and cooperation rise to the top in this game
@@cockneygamerI replied without watching the whole video which I try not to do lol sorry. You went on to discuss how it’s rewarding when you get angles and move meticulously- we are on the same page lol. Good work bro. The more I think on it, I would love to see different game modes where they could implement different camera views. Might be asking for too much… but there is so much potential here I am so excited!
Finally an honest review...Thanks! Requesting 30 bucks for this beta, simple shooter is outrageous IMH. Those 2 youngsters who wrote it didn't get a good advice on their business model, I'm afraid...
@liamnissanS2K looking at the forums, I believe there isn’t native support on ultrawide but I could be wrong. And yes I think you’d struggle for a smooth frame rate… for sure check to see what people on reddit are saying as I’ve seen a few performance issues mentioned. DLSS is coming in the roadmap though!
Good review bro. The writing was good and made me laugh a few times. Keep it up. Just subbed 👍. I think I’ll pass on this for $30. Maybe $10-20 would be a more reasonable price for me for “early access”
Cheers mate and welcome to the gang! A lot of folks on these comments feel $30 is more than fair given you’re supporting a small dev, and I think that’s A-OK if you want to see it (hopefully) grow. But for me, I can only judge the game on what it is as if today and the available content, and right this moment there is very little to show for your $30 other than those great graphics and sound. Maybe when they get more maps up and running and different game modes we are looking at a different recco and a different score too! Thanks again mate, cheers 🍻
This is leagues better than any fps out right now. It's not a arcade game no HUD is 10000000% so refreshing slow methodical gameplay and the gun movement
I never played with it myself, but honestly not a bad question given the style of this game. It’s not like you a snapping in for headshots from miles. Hopefully someone else can help you here!
i just dont know what would separate unrecord and bodycam from any other fps without the wonky bodycam right? like it would just be call of duty or insurgancy or somethin
Another great vid Reggie. Wow, it really does finally look 'next gen' graphically. But yeah, perspective wise, do we really need to reinvent the wheel? I'm not a fan, not at my age. Also at my age, I'd even drink 8 pints to pull a 2/10 girl. 🤣
Problem I have with an aging mind and PC I be slower at success than your gran! One to watch or keep an eye on and the next FPS games are coming & most will explore ultra realism as not many different slants can be tried as so many FPS games have been developed. How much depth, replay ability there a future there is will remain to be seen. Seaman on the pipes lol oh Reggie 😮 lol. We all know people will be mostly playing Black Ops 6 this winter for their FPS. Let’s see how Escape from Tarkov 2 is when that comes
I got no problem with the delay when aiming your weapon around, I quite like it to be honest. Although my complaints are: No option to focus when aiming. Remove the drones flying around, its easy to abuse and ruins the gameplay loop. Placing the bomb should'nt be possible at spawn, add points of interest where you have to place the bomb. (Right now the meta is place the bomb at spawn, wait for opposing team.) Give us headsets, and suppressors. Add weapon custimization, create your own loadouts. Give us more gamemodes, preferrably that lasts longer than just a few minutes. I'll give them creds for what they've done so far, but they NEED a bigger team in order for the game to succeed in the long run, I don't think 2 devs can keep a game going while meeting expectations, its just too much for 2 people to handle.
Some really nice suggestions here. And yes, it could well be too big a project for two. Here’s hoping the money goes to reinvestment. Thanks for the comment!
Placing bomb anywhere was retarded decision. No other shooter game lets u place bomb right at your spawn 😂. They have already hired new devs. They have way more devs than Unrecord now. Unrecord only has a couple of devs
Thank you mate. And as long as you know the limits of what you’re getting into then all good. Doesn’t matter what anyone says… I think there is a good game underneath as long as they don’t abandon it! Appreciate the comment, cheers 🍻
@@cockneygamer Yeah, thanks to your review I've got a good idea of what I'm getting into. Tho, I might have to wait for the next gen of GPUs to drop since my 4070ti might struggle a bit with this, I fear
@@DocProctor The 4070 ti should be fine unless you're playing at 4k, then expect less than 30fps. at 1080p I'd guess around 80-100fps at ultra, 1440p 60-80fps
at this point I stop listening to what he had to say at 2:53 because he is talking about the main selling point of the whole game getting dropped for the same old shi we have been getting of the play 20 plus years
YES! This is spot on, and for me a better way to implement this style. Blair Witch Project springs immediately to mind here and would genuinely make for a fright in a go pro style game. I still find the looking down sights from the camera perspective and not the actual eyeballs of the personnel you control a bit odd at times and therefor e gimmicky.
Bodycam is cool but i still like unrecord more than Bodycam Like i get it but... Bodycam is like COD if they didn't do the same shit for years on end Unrecord is that same game if it had a Story and it still sorta looks more realistic than bodycam.
Totally agree mate… if the Unrecord team is smart this gives them an opportunity. And the swaying comment is spot on… ultimately my feelings around it being a gimmick. Just because it looks real, does it mean it plays well? I can’t help but feel it detracts from the actual gameplay overall and should have been used in a different way. Thanks for the comment!
@@cockneygamerthey can keep the bodycam pov just increase looking sensitivity and make the movmements faster. Would play way better and still keep the good visuals
Well you can't, 'console peasant'. 😁 What I love about PC exclusive multi-player games is that it massively reduces the serious gamer/dickhead ratio. I'm not saying you're a dickhead, but your exclusion is a price I'm willing to pay.
The camera is clearly mounted at eye level so you're complaining about the name of the game? If you try to use (or film) a paintball or actual firearm it looks a lot more sloppy like this compared to COD, Battlefield etc. This makes it more real and tactical instead of the immediate snap aim assist which is practically aimbot at this point ruining all of the other games so they can have a wide customer base to sell $15 "micro" transactions to.
I’m complaining that you aim down sights… like you literally “look” through the reticule when pressing the right mouse button. It’s here you can aim and shoot. What bodycam does that?
"Let's review Bodycam" "First thing is, I don't like the body cam." Well okay then. Hope you don't review Miecraft next, you might not like the main two things you do in that game.
@@cockneygamer I watched till about half way. My point is that you don't like the main aspect about it, but that doesn't make it a gimmick or not well done. It just might not be for you. But it's like downloading a game called Truckcam and it's from the perspective of a dash cam and you have to drive a semi. But you then mark the camera perspective as a negative in a review. That's literally what the game is about, a camera perspective.
@@h.e.x.in all due respect, you can’t watch half of it and only call out the criticisms I have of bodycam when I’m heaping praise on map design, sound, graphics, and gunplay.
@@cockneygamer I can criticize a part of the video I saw, yes I can. I didn't say the entire video was bad or everything you say is wrong. I said your view on the body cam aspect is just...weird. You're playing the wrong game if you don't want a body cam. Play something not called Bodycam maybe.
@h.e.x. You’re missing my point entirely. You’re saying I shouldn’t play a first person shooter, with great shooting mechanics and good map design because I think the viewpoint of a bodycam is strange where by my reckoning you can actually look down the sights of the gun which no bodycam can do in real life. My point is what does it offer gameplay wise? If you keep the graphics the same, remove the vignette around the edges, and make the shooting less lumbered, would you not have an amazing shooter experience and instead use the bodycam angle for instant replays etc? Other than pretty graphics and artistic style for unreal Engine 5, not one person on here, and (nor have you so far) can tell me what this bodycam “view” does from a GAMEPLAY standpoint. Yes it’s pretty but it’s also why I feel it’s a gimmick many other games will soon follow without understanding what it actually brings to the table for gameplay. Does the bodycam angle make it a bad shooter? Absolutely not… but if you’re going to only pick and chose segments to criticise then at least do so with the whole context of the video at play and what I say, which I explain all of this across the whole timeline.
Bodycam as a concept looks amazing, but it's still lacking content and game modes even in its early access state. Definitely one to add to you watchlist to see how it progresses. Also, apologies at 01:19 where a rogue graphic appears on screen. I forgot to take that out. Stupid Reggie.

Can’t deny you on that point at all! It certainly adds a style that no other first person shooter has managed to achieve.

I’ve have some epic memories (now 55) of gaming from the start & especially some I shared with daughter when she was younger she not into most gaming now & busy with life.
I have many games make me cry, make me think about them non stop, dream about them, tell, stop & swear like my swear box is the size of dumper truck.
Thankyou you for making this I’m gonna re-watch it a few times just for my mental health 👍👍
Great bones for a good ultra realistic game. , sonne light hud elements ,could see extraction game modes and pve stuff in the future. Hopefully they keep updating it.
Good review man. I have to respectfully disagree about the body cam angle being a gimmick. I love it. You said around 2:45 that the body cam view makes it tricky to get around the map and hit quick angles - like that’s a negative. I think that’s wonderful! Makes the gameplay so much more realistic by slowing it down. If people want quick twitch fast fun fights with super fast ADS and quick peeking they have plenty of other games to choose from. That’s the whole reason I like this game. It’s not only realistic graphically, but also in gameplay. Tactical play and cooperation rise to the top in this game
Very very very fair critique mate. Glad you’re enjoying it!
@@cockneygamerI replied without watching the whole video which I try not to do lol sorry. You went on to discuss how it’s rewarding when you get angles and move meticulously- we are on the same page lol. Good work bro.
The more I think on it, I would love to see different game modes where they could implement different camera views. Might be asking for too much… but there is so much potential here I am so excited!
No cash grab. Most games are $40-59.00 so its worth the $30..00 It will improve, be grateful its here.
Finally an honest review...Thanks! Requesting 30 bucks for this beta, simple shooter is outrageous IMH. Those 2 youngsters who wrote it didn't get a good advice on their business model, I'm afraid...
I finally got my settings to look exactly how these TH-cam videos look.. But now all of a sudden my score reset back to rookie!! WTF!
When is it release on ps5 and the price
i paid 50 dollars for this game because i thought this was unreord with a changed name
My pc can run Cyberpunk at 72 fps but can only run Bodycam at 7 fps. Refunded!
this looks better than cyberpunk with pathtracing though
Yeah this game looks way better than cyberpunk @@user-wq9mw2xz3j
What ypur specs my dude
@@user-wq9mw2xz3jThe game uses Lumen lighting, a form of ray tracing. That means, bodycam isn't path traced.
It ran at a mostly locked 90fps for me
Can't get it to look decent on a 3060, the gameplay i did play was kinda underwhelming.
Thanks. I have a 3060 so I'm assuming I'm not gonna be able to run this on a super ultra wide
@liamnissanS2K looking at the forums, I believe there isn’t native support on ultrawide but I could be wrong. And yes I think you’d struggle for a smooth frame rate… for sure check to see what people on reddit are saying as I’ve seen a few performance issues mentioned. DLSS is coming in the roadmap though!
Iv got a 4080 and im waiting a couple of months before buying it
I have a 3050 and my game runs smoothly
Bro what? I have a 3060 and I’m running 120 FPS on high graphics.
“Riley Reid choke points” you sir just sold me a game and gained a sub😂
Haha, welcome to the cockney gang mate. Glad to have you onboard!
Good review bro. The writing was good and made me laugh a few times. Keep it up. Just subbed 👍. I think I’ll pass on this for $30. Maybe $10-20 would be a more reasonable price for me for “early access”
Cheers mate and welcome to the gang!
A lot of folks on these comments feel $30 is more than fair given you’re supporting a small dev, and I think that’s A-OK if you want to see it (hopefully) grow. But for me, I can only judge the game on what it is as if today and the available content, and right this moment there is very little to show for your $30 other than those great graphics and sound. Maybe when they get more maps up and running and different game modes we are looking at a different recco and a different score too! Thanks again mate, cheers 🍻
This is leagues better than any fps out right now. It's not a arcade game no HUD is 10000000% so refreshing slow methodical gameplay and the gun movement
I can imagine the hate comments from this question ..but..can you play with controller?
I never played with it myself, but honestly not a bad question given the style of this game. It’s not like you a snapping in for headshots from miles. Hopefully someone else can help you here!
i just dont know what would separate unrecord and bodycam from any other fps without the wonky bodycam right? like it would just be call of duty or insurgancy or somethin
$30 isn’t bad tbh
Hel no
if you host a server you basically immediately get a full server.
Brilliant review, love your dialog.
Too kind mate, thank you for commenting too. Cheers mate
This seems like it would be better suited for vr.
Props for commentary 👏 😂
few maps? basketball has only one "map". game is great.
The ready button has been fixed host starts match now n they added a quick play button
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
This is a fantastic take on it being a gimmick.
Another great vid Reggie. Wow, it really does finally look 'next gen' graphically. But yeah, perspective wise, do we really need to reinvent the wheel? I'm not a fan, not at my age.
Also at my age, I'd even drink 8 pints to pull a 2/10 girl. 🤣
“Remove the bodycam” bro is describing the game called “ground branch” that has failed miserably lol
Problem I have with an aging mind and PC I be slower at success than your gran!
One to watch or keep an eye on and the next FPS games are coming & most will explore ultra realism as not many different slants can be tried as so many FPS games have been developed.
How much depth, replay ability there a future there is will remain to be seen.
Seaman on the pipes lol oh Reggie 😮 lol.
We all know people will be mostly playing Black Ops 6 this winter for their FPS.
Let’s see how Escape from Tarkov 2 is when that comes
I got no problem with the delay when aiming your weapon around, I quite like it to be honest.
Although my complaints are:
No option to focus when aiming.
Remove the drones flying around, its easy to abuse and ruins the gameplay loop.
Placing the bomb should'nt be possible at spawn, add points of interest where you have to place the bomb. (Right now the meta is place the bomb at spawn, wait for opposing team.)
Give us headsets, and suppressors.
Add weapon custimization, create your own loadouts.
Give us more gamemodes, preferrably that lasts longer than just a few minutes.
I'll give them creds for what they've done so far, but they NEED a bigger team in order for the game to succeed in the long run, I don't think 2 devs can keep a game going while meeting expectations, its just too much for 2 people to handle.
Some really nice suggestions here. And yes, it could well be too big a project for two. Here’s hoping the money goes to reinvestment. Thanks for the comment!
Placing bomb anywhere was retarded decision. No other shooter game lets u place bomb right at your spawn 😂.
They have already hired new devs.
They have way more devs than Unrecord now. Unrecord only has a couple of devs
Riley Reid choke points 😂😂
A man of culture like me I see!
Basically don't bother!
this guys chill asf
Great review, yet again.
I'm not gonna lie, I kinda want the game. It looks really nice
Thank you mate. And as long as you know the limits of what you’re getting into then all good. Doesn’t matter what anyone says… I think there is a good game underneath as long as they don’t abandon it! Appreciate the comment, cheers 🍻
@@cockneygamer
Yeah, thanks to your review I've got a good idea of what I'm getting into.
Tho, I might have to wait for the next gen of GPUs to drop since my 4070ti might struggle a bit with this, I fear
@@DocProctor The 4070 ti should be fine unless you're playing at 4k, then expect less than 30fps. at 1080p I'd guess around 80-100fps at ultra, 1440p 60-80fps
@@RetroA1Mbot
That's not too bad then.
I want the game but assuming my PC will struggle since I only have a 3060ti?
Is auto lean worth it?
This game feels like overly modded GMod IMO
lol no
yes actually
at this point I stop listening to what he had to say at 2:53 because he is talking about the main selling point of the whole game getting dropped for the same old shi we have been getting of the play 20 plus years
It’s unrealistic the quality should be about 2k
Lol bro said he has a 4tb porn nvme 😂
I actually got an additional 4tb in the Black Friday sales
@@cockneygamer that's a lot of naked men
A glorified tech demo for Unrecord.ironically
Could be great for a horror game
YES! This is spot on, and for me a better way to implement this style. Blair Witch Project springs immediately to mind here and would genuinely make for a fright in a go pro style game. I still find the looking down sights from the camera perspective and not the actual eyeballs of the personnel you control a bit odd at times and therefor e gimmicky.
Bodycam is cool but i still like unrecord more than Bodycam
Like i get it but... Bodycam is like COD if they didn't do the same shit for years on end
Unrecord is that same game if it had a Story and it still sorta looks more realistic than bodycam.
this should be what the unrecord team uses to inprove their game... im having fun but it is so fucking annoying trying to aim and swaying way too much
Totally agree mate… if the Unrecord team is smart this gives them an opportunity. And the swaying comment is spot on… ultimately my feelings around it being a gimmick. Just because it looks real, does it mean it plays well? I can’t help but feel it detracts from the actual gameplay overall and should have been used in a different way. Thanks for the comment!
@@cockneygamerthey can keep the bodycam pov just increase looking sensitivity and make the movmements faster. Would play way better and still keep the good visuals
definitely off your rockers
Next big thing !
Looks amazing
I was fooled..
you are so funny mate, loved this video 🤣
Very kind of you to say mate, glad you enjoyed it!
”Glorified tech demo” is a term made up by salty besserwissers who can’t get into something. Yes, you know if you know
oi oi geez u killin it... funny guy..!! nice commentary...
Thank you mate, means a lot for us smaller channels. Appreciate it a lot!
i would love to play this on console
Well you can't, 'console peasant'. 😁 What I love about PC exclusive multi-player games is that it massively reduces the serious gamer/dickhead ratio.
I'm not saying you're a dickhead, but your exclusion is a price I'm willing to pay.
30$ early access?no thank you
The camera is clearly mounted at eye level so you're complaining about the name of the game? If you try to use (or film) a paintball or actual firearm it looks a lot more sloppy like this compared to COD, Battlefield etc. This makes it more real and tactical instead of the immediate snap aim assist which is practically aimbot at this point ruining all of the other games so they can have a wide customer base to sell $15 "micro" transactions to.
I’m complaining that you aim down sights… like you literally “look” through the reticule when pressing the right mouse button. It’s here you can aim and shoot. What bodycam does that?
"Let's review Bodycam"
"First thing is, I don't like the body cam."
Well okay then. Hope you don't review Miecraft next, you might not like the main two things you do in that game.
You did watch the full video I assume? Because I was very positive about it!
@@cockneygamer I watched till about half way. My point is that you don't like the main aspect about it, but that doesn't make it a gimmick or not well done. It just might not be for you. But it's like downloading a game called Truckcam and it's from the perspective of a dash cam and you have to drive a semi. But you then mark the camera perspective as a negative in a review. That's literally what the game is about, a camera perspective.
@@h.e.x.in all due respect, you can’t watch half of it and only call out the criticisms I have of bodycam when I’m heaping praise on map design, sound, graphics, and gunplay.
@@cockneygamer I can criticize a part of the video I saw, yes I can. I didn't say the entire video was bad or everything you say is wrong. I said your view on the body cam aspect is just...weird. You're playing the wrong game if you don't want a body cam. Play something not called Bodycam maybe.
@h.e.x. You’re missing my point entirely. You’re saying I shouldn’t play a first person shooter, with great shooting mechanics and good map design because I think the viewpoint of a bodycam is strange where by my reckoning you can actually look down the sights of the gun which no bodycam can do in real life.
My point is what does it offer gameplay wise? If you keep the graphics the same, remove the vignette around the edges, and make the shooting less lumbered, would you not have an amazing shooter experience and instead use the bodycam angle for instant replays etc?
Other than pretty graphics and artistic style for unreal Engine 5, not one person on here, and (nor have you so far) can tell me what this bodycam “view” does from a GAMEPLAY standpoint. Yes it’s pretty but it’s also why I feel it’s a gimmick many other games will soon follow without understanding what it actually brings to the table for gameplay.
Does the bodycam angle make it a bad shooter? Absolutely not… but if you’re going to only pick and chose segments to criticise then at least do so with the whole context of the video at play and what I say, which I explain all of this across the whole timeline.
We need weapon load outs at least lol
Great review
Thank you mate, that’s very kind and much appreciated. Cheers 🍻
@@cockneygameryoud be surprised how hard it is to find an informativen and entertaining review channel. Subbed
@@KingOfComedyXDglad you enjoyed it and my personal welcome to the cockney gamer gang! Cheers to you King!
Looks nice that's about it
Pretty obvious cash grab trying to capitalize off of unrecord
Another ripper mate
Thank you mate, appreciate it!
Imagine this but it’s Ready or Not.
" A shits baguette" 😂 nice to finally see a TH-camr from the uk
Shit baguette simply needs to be used far more! Appreciate the comment mate! 🍻
