‘Days Gone’ Devs Detail Game’s Photo Mode

Published

on

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.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
