Latest Far Cry 5 Update Brings Photo Mode to Hope County

I can't get on with it got about 3 quarters the way through and then just gave up! I think they really screwed up the way they force you to get captured after a few outposts! Fairly disappointed in it tbh

why does every game now a days feel like it has to include a photo mode?

here's a picture of me looking over a field

here's a picture of me looking at a flower

here's a picture of me looking at a mountain

here's a picture of me not playing the game and just looking at the backgrounds

when did games become more about how pretty they look instead of the ACTUAL GAME PLAY

play the damn game, we don't need to see every weird shaped tree you find

I'll definitely have a play around with that. I quite enjoy a well implemented photo mode. Got several albums from games on Flickr.

@FullbringIchigo You forgot
Here's a picture of me taking down a robot diinasor,
Here's a picture of me and my son taking down a god.

or is first party photo mode ok?

Games are so gorgeous looking nowadays that I think more of them should have photo modes. I thought AC Origins had a cracking photo mode with the option to share in game. Unfortunately it seemed the only way to get kudos on your photos was to take pics of bare norks!

@ShadowWarrior no they are all pretty much a waste of time ESPECIALLY when you take into account the PS4 can take a picture at the touch of a button

@Quintumply yeah you can take some stunning pictures in games, i have taken pictures from my games, i even posted them here in the Screenshot forum but like i said above you don't NEED a photo mode in the game or to advertise the fact it has one when the PS4, XB1 and P.C can do it naturally at the touch of a button, it just seems like a waste of resources

Far Cry 5 has been sitting on my PS4's hard drive for some time now and I'm yet to play it, so it's nice to know that when I do it'll have additional features, like this photo mode that weren't there at launch. Bonus: it'll be all nice and patched up as well - less bugs, more filling.

@RogerRoger there's more skill in capturing the moment as it happens than setting it up though

i just feel it's something that really isn't needed and it definitely doesn't need to be focus like it is right now

plus if a company keeps going on about how great it's game looks and how you can use a photo mode to capture it makes me think "if that's the best aspect your game has then what's wrong with everything else?"

My birthday is coming up in a little over a week and Far Cry 5 is the game I decided to ask for. So this is a nice bonus for me.

Back in my day we had to load film into our disposible camera and pause the game (with pause font and all) and then mess with the curtains to get the lighting kind of just right then wait 2 weeks for the film to get developed just to end up with a pic of the tv with a huge sun spot covering the screen.

To complain about having these incredible photo modes to set up the perfect shot with fx included etc is just...... Ugh.
I love setting up shots to use as awesome ps4 themes

@Turismo4GT
Well, to be fair it ran really well at launch

@Turismo4GT I wouldnt get ya hopes up too much...

@dellyrascal you've not had a good experience with the game?

@BrettAwesome Not saying it didn't, but the developers will always find a bug or 15 to squash that we the players may not even notice

@Turismo4GT - To be fair, its okay, but hasnt grabbed me like the previous games. If you have played them before, there is a little too much familiarity.

I say that, but i did go on and complete the game, but it did become a little bit of a chore towards the end.... I do hope you get a bit more out of it than i did though.

@dellyrascal Thanks, it'll actually be my first Far Cry game, although I've been hearing Far Cry 3 is the series' gold standard. I won Far Cry 5 in a contest so I'm looking forward to finally having the time to boot it up proper.

I'm about half way through and kinda lost interest in it tbh. Need to muster the enthusiasm to get back into it...

well i was planning to jump back in with the dlc but apparently the Vietnam one is meh, ill wait for the mars one too see if i do bite

i have farcry 5 on ps4 it is awesome to me i love the combat stealth flying driving combat and free roaming hunting and fishing it is my favorite farcry game ever and it is my favorite shooting game ever and it is my 6th favorite game ever

@Quintumply i agree same as in ac odyssey and many other games
