If only the "Experimental" graphics settings you can see below actually existed in the cops-and-criminals-themed first-person shooter Battlefield Hardline. Sadly, it's just a video created by a production company called the Replay Collective, but it's still impressive and worth a look.

The video, which was uploaded to YouTube by LevelCapGaming, shows you what Battlefield Hardline would look like in real life, using actors, practical effects, and an overlay of the game's familiar head-up display.

To see just how much effort Replay Collective put into this short video, check out this behind the scenes video as well.

In other Battlefield Hardline news, developer Visceral Games just announced everything included with the game's first expansion, called Criminal Activity.
