Cyberpunk 2077, but as a realistic shooter? A user on Reddit shares an impressive video that showcases this mix. The look was inspired by the tactical shooter Unrecord.
As a futuristic role-playing game, Cyberpunk 2077 takes you to the neon-lit and stylishly staged Night City, inviting exploration.
A slightly more unique approach is pursued by the tactical shooter Unrecord. This game puts you in the perspective of a bodycam, like those used by police officers or firefighters. This makes the game feel particularly realistic. It even got to the point where players thought the shown gameplay footage was fake.
The trailer for Unrecord shows the realistic graphics:
Cyberpunk meets Unrecord
So how would Night City look if you roamed the city in bodycam perspective and realistic graphics?
This is shown in a video from the YouTube channel NextGen Dreams. With mods, the look of Cyberpunk 2077 has been altered to resemble an ultra-realistic shooter. On Reddit, user BrsvtzK shares the video and titles it “Incredible ‘Cyberpunk: Unrecord’ Version”:
What are the reactions to the video? In the comments on Reddit, many express amazement at the ultra-realistic Cyberpunk version.
- Oh wow, is this still Cyberpunk? The game looks completely different. (Jack19820)
- I can’t believe this is possible with mods and probably a render, but damn, this is the Cyberpunk we want (imnon12)
Others appreciate the realistic graphics in the video but would not want to play Cyberpunk in this way.
- Honestly, the first part looks like real film footage … However, I find the fisheye effect awful for gameplay. (petrik_loller)
- I couldn’t play this for longer than 15 minutes without vomiting my last meal. I’m very sensitive to motion blur, shaky cameras, and heavy shaking. (NokstellianDemon)
Some also joke about the dark atmosphere in the video.
- Why is overcast weather always associated with “realism” in all mods? What kind of sunless world do you all live in? (Far_Adeptness9884)
- Cyberbloke: United Kingdom Edition (SkyrimSlag)
How was the video created? In the video description, NextGen Dreams reveals that the displayed graphics were made possible through DLSS 3.5, ReShade, and AITrack. Additionally, the following mods were used:
- Graphics mods:
- Unrecord Bodycam Reshade (currently in Alpha) by NextGen Dreams
- Nova LUT Original by theCyanideX
- Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Project by HalkHogan
- Camera mods:
- Immersive First Person
- Unlocked FOV
Whether one wants to recreate the realistic look themselves or not, realistic video games can be really impressive.
But not only Unrecord with its stylish gameplay footage could excite shooter fans. The hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov, which impresses with a lot of realism, has also become an extremely popular game in recent years. What other titles resemble the hardcore shooter, you can find out here:
