With the advancement in technology, video games have become more and more realistic. especially with the help of the new generation software and hardware. The visual effects and the overall quality of the latest video games are undeniably outstanding (in mots cases.)

This is further enhanced with the incorporation of virtual reality. Virtual reality has made it difficult to differentiate the game from reality apart from the hardware involved in it.

Keeping it all in view, a YouTuber by the name of Komazawa Isolation has done something to differentiate himself and give another dimension to video games. He has filmed himself in the form of a game in Heads Up Display (HUD) etc.

The fun that one gets from playing games is a whole different experience, but recreating these games in real life is truly taking things 100 steps further.

Komazawa Isolation released a video of the real-life version of a video game based on the themes of Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto, and Yakuza. It has pretty much every element that you would expect to be in a video game.

Komazawa Isolation has named the game that he is presenting in the video as Grand Theft Gotoku Solid. The name is implied directly at the games that it has taken inspiration from such as Ryu ga Gotoku, called Yakuza in the West developed by Saga, Grand Theft Auto series developed by Rockstar, and Metal Gear Solid developed by Konami.

The YouTuber Komazawa Isolation has also shared video sharing the recreation of different games based on action.

The story of the video contains an unnamed protagonist who is shown to wake up in a ward of Tokyo, Japan called Shibuya. When he wakes up, he recalls that he was out on a date with his girlfriend and he has witnessed a criminal activity taking place.

Once the character had this realization he gets up and goes on an adventure to find the clue.

The video of the game has been made from the perspective of a third person.

The commonly used HUD elements are also present in this such as text prompts, health bar, and the minimap. On rare occasions, there is a prompt for interacting with the objects in the surrounding with the help of a relevant control button.

The start of the video details the physics of the game as well as the camera and the controls as is customary.

It gives details of the controls to be used for actions such as strafing, jumping, and crouching.

As it is commonly known, games can not be as smooth as real life.

The games from the times especially in the 2010s fell choppy especially in sequences involving running animations or switching outfits etc.

Well, to give this video the video game-like feel, all of these elements of HUD and the choppy animations are present in it.

For these very reasons, the video gives a video game-like feel and experience. The character does the activities in the manner in which it would have been doing in a game.

the unrealistic hand movements for picking of the objects and by letting the player slide against the wall when it's running it.

A lot of attention has been paid to make it look like a game such as finding unusual things in usual places. One such example would be finding a cowboy hat in front of the locked subway entrance.

To be honest it appears to be more of a parody of video games than giving them a closer-to-life experience.

It also makes fun of the way the players abuse the game logic.

It has a box stealth mechanic sequence as it is in Metal Gear Solid with its ridiculous concept of the enemy being unable to see it despite the fact that it's moving and the feet are showing from under it.

Another such silly fight sequence has been made part of the video that is a part of the Yakuza series which involves going through the whole series and uncovering the mystery with the help of the clues. A fistfight is also involved after which the pursued shady person is defeated.

Once the enemy is defeated, a critical character of the story is shown. At this point the video end hinting at part two coming in the future.

The video is a good mimicry of the three games that have been mentioned earlier in the article. It will be a thoroughly enjoyable experience for the gaming fans as they will be able to recognize even the minutest details from the three games.

Since the video was shot at night, there are not many people seen in it and the shops are also closed.

There are many other YouTubers such as  TrueMobster, Corridor, and Red Light Barbers who have made similar attempts before as well. However, the thing that differentiates Komazawa Isolation's video from these is that it points out the advancement in game design.
