Reader Discussion: Do You Use The New Photo Modes?
Following Infamous Second Son’s lead, many games are incorporating a mode specifically for players to take photos. Do you use it?
I haven’t shared any photos using the tool in Infamous Second Son or The Last of Us Remastered, and I probably won't in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor either, but I love that it exists. I use it as a way to pause the game and fully absorb the environment or scene. I like pausing the game and just getting a chance to take a closer look at everything. Like I said, though, I don’t think I’ve ever actually saved a photo, or shared one. I ‘ll leave that to the professionals (or the very talented).
How about you? Do you like the photo modes? Do you use them for their intended purposes?

It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
