Why The Bodycam Game Is Unlike Any Other Game

Expert Verified By

Feels like a VR game without a VR...

Story Highlights
  • Viewing the game from the eye of a bodycam with a distorted and blurry lens makes for unique gameplay. 
  • The realistic audio cues with wind sounds when moving the camera, and gargles after a person dies – make the game all the more immersive. 
  • With delayed movements and heavy and uncontrolled gun recoil, the game seems like VR and resembles real-life shooting. 

The latest release of the Bodycam game has taken the world by storm. This is one of the most realistic games you can play and it’s a must-play for every gamer. 


Exceptionally Realistic

One thing that you’ll find everyone saying is that the game is very realistic. It is not only realistic in a way that it has amazing graphics and seamless movements that resemble real life, but realistic in a way that it doesn’t feel like a game sometimes.

The concept of viewing the game from the perspective of a body cam goes a long way, especially considering the HDR effect and the fish-eye view of the camera. The game is exceptionally accurate in blurring the lines of real life and virtual reality.  

There’s even the date, time, and name of the person written beneath each person’s body-cam footage, which is similar to the text written beneath the body-cam footage of cops in real life.

VR Without VR

The feel of the game appears to resemble the same feel captured in VR games. The mouse movements are delayed, the way you aim isn’t accurate, and there is no proper crosshair for you to aim. It is one of the few games that seems like it was meant for VR but it is not.

Perfect Imperfections

Unlike other first-person shooter games, this game doesn’t guarantee that you’ll have perfect aim in this game as well just because you’re good at other FPS games. Instead, you’re bound to practice shooting just like you would in real life.

The combat is highly realistic, which also means that gunshots won’t be accurate. This means that you’ll only get kills if you have a good view of the enemy. Being in cover helps a lot, again resembling the importance of cover in real life.

Moreover, the recoil is extremely realistic as well. Where the recoil increases as you climb up the ladder of weapons such as pistols, SMGs, Rifles, and Assault Rifles. Due to the haphazard recoil system, you’re forced to stop and aim precisely instead of spamming.

For weapons with lower recoils, shooting many bullets gets the job done. Again, this resembles real-life body-cam moments where we can see that cops usually shoot a lot of bullets to ensure that some of them connect and that their enemy collapses.

Small Yet Immersive Details

The vision is blurry, even for the folks who have high-end PCs. This game requires a heavy system to run but the vision is distorted for everyone equally. This is added to make the body-cam footage hazy and blurry as it is in real life. Hence, it is harder to aim and peak. 

The game has a weather and a weapon system, where the weather and the weapons change for everyone with each round. Due to this, the game also utilizes darkness, enabling players to have stealth action. 

When it’s dark, players can hide in the dark spots and other players can spot them either by shining their flashlights towards them or by listening to their footsteps. Lighting a flashlight also means that you’re giving away your location, which could allow for cross-fire.

Realistic Audio Design

With everything aiming to be realistic, the developers couldn’t stop this game from having realistic sound effects as well. This is why the guns are extremely loud and people complain that they’ll go deaf if they don’t lower the sound settings. 

Audio Settings (Tech4Gamers)

The developers have even mentioned it in their audio settings, where you can toggle off the loud noises. But that does take away one realistic aspect of the game. Similarly, it also contains realistic footsteps as well, where you can hear them even if you’re walking while crouching. 

When moving your cam, you can hear the sound of the wind coming in contact with the camera. Even after dying, you can hear the gargles and painful noises that are similar to the sounds people make in real life when they die of gunshots. 

Concept Of Drones

After dying, you can control a drone and roam around the whole map. You have the ability to enable night vision so you can spot enemies hiding in the dark and you can flash your flashlight to them to inform your teammates about your enemies.
