Controversial hyper-realistic shooter game Unrecord sparks concerns among streamers and gamers
Unrecord, an upcoming first-person shooter esports game, has gained popularity because of its intensely realistic but divisive gameplay. Streamer Trainwreck expressed his concerns about the reality of the game Developer Drama posted the first complete gameplay trailer for the upcoming bodycam-based first-person shooter Unrecrord online on April 19. Due to its extraordinary immersion and hyper-realistic gameplay, characteristics rarely found in video games, the game is groundbreaking within its genre.
The recently released game has caused controversy among gamers on social media, with some claiming that the gameplay is uncomfortably realistic. Others are retorting that it is merely a game suitable for audiences of the appropriate age because of this. Well-known streamers like Trainwreck have started voicing their opinions on the issue now that the debate has gained traction. Though not all streamers held the same views, their concerns reflected those of the general public.
Trainwreck is concerned about the impact of Unrecord on children
Trainwreck replied to the April 19 release of the entire gameplay trailer by posting a series of Tweets outlining his thoughts on why he believes the game is so divisive. He began by stating that although he knew his words might be misunderstood, he thought that Unrecord’s realism should be restrained.
Trainwreck continued by saying that he hoped “parents do their job” in keeping an eye on the video games their children have access to, noting that the degree of realism made even him feel uneasy despite his age. If the games shocked him, imagine what it could do to a child’s growing brain. Following up on his assertion, Trainwreck stated that the gameplay footage for Unrecord appears to be a “real leak from a military or police operation” because of its hyper-realistic design. According to him, such games can intensify public and political animosity toward gaming.
Mainstream journalists who cover politics or the news may occasionally concentrate on the drawbacks of gaming’s realism and how young gamers’ perceptions of violence may be distorted. According to Trainwreck, a game like Unrecord might provide a solid foundation for ideas that the lines between virtual and physical reality are blurring.
Observing how the situation develops and whether the developer takes the necessary steps to safeguard players’ mental well-being will be interesting. The developer hasn’t yet responded to the controversy beyond noting it in a Tweet.
