Pushing Buttons: Is the brutal new police 'bodycam' shoot 'em up game too indistinguishable from reality?

It looks like footage from a news report. A cop approaches a graffiti-covered, seemingly abandoned building, the sound of his own footsteps and his uniform brushing the mic and disturbing the silence. Only 30 seconds in does the trailer start to look more like a video game: the exaggerated gun reload, the way the cop effortlessly vaults a barrier. But at a passing glance – even at close examination, on a phone screen – it looks as if it could be real. Unrecord, a "bodycam first-person shooter" being created by French independent developer Drama, made an impact with its shockingly realistic trailer last week.
