‘Days Gone’ Devs Detail Game’s Photo Mode
While I don’t entirely see the use of having a Photo Mode in a game (other than cool-looking screenshots), it’s just one of those small things that’s caught on with people, and devs are running with it. And on PlayStation Blog, Sony’s Bend Studios confirms that Days Gone will have a Photo Mode out of the box.
The game’s Photo Mode will take full advantage of Days Gone‘s day/night cycle, as well as the various biomes weather types, enabling players to snap some cool photos. According to the devs, the design of the mode was to “make players feel like they are using and manipulating a real camera in the real world.”
What this means is you not only get a selection of filters, but also the ability to manipulate the Field of View, Focal Distance, Aperture, and Film Grain. This also includes a Focus Lock feature, so you can flex your photography muscles to their fullest.
Well, when your game looks as gorgeous as Days Gone, it would seem like a no-brainer to include the Photo Mode, regardless of whether you’ll be using it.
Days Gone will be lumbering to PlayStation 4 on April 26.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
