Unrecord, when are photorealistic graphics fun?

Fun, graphics, photorealistic, Unrecord

The search for a game identical to reality has been something that many studios have attempted for almost 30 years, when the CD format arrived and it was already possible to store large amounts of information, including long video sequences on which we could play. They were called games full screen video (FMV). Now in another way Cancel registration try the same.

too real to be funny

Over the past few hours, we’ve all seen a tweet in which someone showed us a clip of a gameplay of a game called Cancel registration. A title in development for PC, which will also be released for VR and which is characterized by a graphic aspect made with Unreal Engine 5 which is practically a carbon copy of reality. It’s hard to tell if the character moving across the screen is real or just a computer-generated image.

Well, this title that you already have to add to your Steam wishlist caused a stir because it sparked the age-old debate of whether playing with reality is fun or not. And in our case, we have to say that we don’t think so. When the fictional veneer on the appearance of a video game wears off, we quickly begin to feel unease, unease, as if what we see is part of the real world.

Let’s see, we won’t be radical in this and it’s completely normal for someone to think otherwise, which is very respectable, but who subscribes he also never liked the so-called FMV which came into fashion a few years ago. And it wasn’t so much about the best or worst of its development or gameplay mechanics as it was about the look itself. What enters your eyes and what it transmits to you.

Between the two, a bewitching valley

There is a very popular theory which is that of the “strange valley”, which comes to mean something like this human beings feel embarrassed or rejected by realistic and accurate anthropomorphic representations and exact in front of us, either in the virtual world thanks to computer-generated graphics, or in the real world where robots, moving sculptures, etc. can be manufactured.

That is, in a title like Cancel registration, where realism is paramount, how might we feel about attacking a character who is indistinguishable from someone with a first and last name? And beware, here we fought hard inside Medal of Honor or many Call of duty, battlefield and any other name where bullets fly from a first person perspective. We had no qualms about ending these dolls who told us they were the bad guys but when everything becomes hyper-realistic… things change.

go ahead Cancel registration It looks extraordinary, which in virtual reality must already be the epitome of a shooter in the first person but we want to see it when it comes out to confirm whether so much realism, without so much resemblance to reality, is good for a video game. Maybe we should stop, take a step back and re-design worlds that do not exist, are imperfect and in which specify that we are still in a video game.
