Scapes were such an awesome addition to GT Sport. For those of you who didn’t play the PlayStation 4 simulation racer, they effectively allowed you to place the cars from the game into “real world” environments, in order to photograph them. These come with authentic lighting data, effectively allowing you to create realistic photographs.

It’s an “avant-garde” feature according to series creator Kazunori Yamauchi, but it all stems from his passion for photography. Honestly, we spent almost as much time in this mode as we did playing the game, so we’re happy to see it return in Gran Turismo 7. Hopefully there are a number of new locations to snap, and even deeper camera simulation features.
