Call of Duty maniacs listen up. A vision of your gaming future is here.

This video may seem a mixture of hilarious / disturbing depending on your sensibilities but it raises a larger question for all gamers out there.  What is the end result of games that are hyper-real?  Do we eventually get to the point where a game crosses the line?

There is all this talk this generation of immersion and games’ capacity to captivate the player. A mechanism often attributed to this is realism and a great story. But how realistic is a game when your character ends up killing literally hundreds of people throughout a campaign?

What I’m trying to say is, doesn’t the story of a game like Red Dead, lose realism when you’re killing 30+ outlaws while clearing a single hideout? Marston, our hero, is literally a mass murderer.
