    The game Bodycam was developed by 2 people, a 17 and 20 year old, and has the most realistic graphics I’ve ever seen.

        Described as “the first photorealistic shooter” by reviewers, there is quite literally no other game that comes close, in terms of graphical realism.

          TIL we call content farms “reviewers” nowadays.

          Just from the top of my head Arma III realism mod looks like, if not better than, this. On the bright side, bodycam just pulled a fast one on their monetisation so they should thank you for directing idiots to their game, so someone is getting a good holiday season.

            Hey that’s great that Arma III mods also are realistic! Love to see it. Star Wars Battlefront mods also came close to photorealistic at moments. I’m sure these community made-by-volunteers-in-their-free-time mods were SO expensive to develop that it spurred a handheld gaming conspiracy, right???

            Those dastardly indie teenager devs!!! 🤪

              Yes, because photorealism LUTs and reshades are equivalent to the implementation of things like subsurface scattering, modelling characters and worlds, etc. Yep, you really got me there, clearly the money being used to develop games is stupid because some dudes made a baclava using unreal 5. *slow clap
