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.
