Two bodycam shooters impressed the internet with their graphics. One of them now has a release date and will be released on Steam this week.
What kind of game is this?
Along with Unrecord, Bodycam is one of two shooters that have caused a stir on social media due to their extremely realistic graphics and bodycam perspective. For example, a clip from Bodycam on TikTok reached over 14 million views. In the comments, many viewers are unsure whether they are actually seeing a video game or a real bodycam recording of an airsoft session due to the realistic graphics.
Bodycam Release: The realistic shooter will be released this week
When is the release? Bodycam has announced the release date for the early access release in a new trailer. The shooter will be released on Steam on June 7, 2024 – this week.
In addition to the release date, gameplay of the shooter can be seen again in the trailer. We get a look at various maps and weapons.

Praise for the trailer, criticism of the game
How is the trailer received? In the comments on YouTube, players praise what the trailer shows: the gameplay and the graphics.
Bodycam also receives a lot of criticism in the comments on YouTube. Some players want PvE modes or private lobbies, others complain that there probably won’t be a progression system like a ranked mode.
In general, it is criticized that the game only has the graphics and the perspective as a selling point. The gameplay itself does not promise any excitement and consists of waiting around corners for opponents.
The shooter is also accused of trying to exploit the hype surrounding Unrecord and profit from it. Unrecord went viral with its graphics and perspective before Bodycam, but hasn’t been released yet.
Another criticism from YouTube commentators is that the shooter looks too realistic and the perspective could be unfavorable. This could lead to motion sickness, for example.
Unrecord has also had to deal with criticism of being too realistic. Streamer Trainwreck, for example, wrote that “this level of realism in shooting and killing” made him uncomfortable: Steam: 18 million people watch new shooter with realistic graphics – The worst guy on Twitch is morally offended by it
