Faced with accusations of forgery (a video that would, in fact, be real), the co-author responded with proof. This is not the first time that an environment under Unreal Engine 5 has raised this controversy.

A robot that looks like us is said to cause a psychological phenomenon: the disturbing valley, a particularly disturbing feeling. Will we also feel the same for video games? A video was released a few days ago, in April 2023, and it’s particularly disturbing: it shows an FPS (first-person video game) whose graphics are so realistic that they can hardly be distinguished from a real shot.

For this studio to be fake, it would have to go to great lengths, perhaps more than just building the virtual environment.
