Let’s look at the most recent photo mode to take the internet by storm. Marvel’s Spider-Man , arguably, has the best photo mode of the year so far. It is essentially a love letter to the Marvel superhero, thanks to all the filters and borders you can use to personalize your captured moment. For myself, all I wanted to do was make comic book covers with the cover border. It also helps that it is one of the best looking games the PS4 has to offer; even up close, the details on Spider-Man’s various suits look fantastic, and the game’s photo mode only helps to bring that out m
There have been plenty of video games based on the work of J.R.R. Tolkien over the years, though not all of them have quite lived up to the excellence of the great author . With its fantastic nemesis system and well-refined combat mechanics though, that’s not really a criticism that could ever be levied against the fantastic Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mord
Square Enix’s classic survival-horror series Parasite Eve serves not as an adaptation of a novel, but instead a direct sequel . The first entry picks up right where Japanese pharmacologist Hideaki Sena’s 1995 novel left off and incorporates many of the same themes, ideas, and charact
Madden NFL 19 , on the other hand, does let you use the camera freely. It is a bit tricky to get a good frame since the reticle will stick to anything close to it, but I was able to capture a good picture of the Chicago Bears’ quarterback Mitch Trubisky about to throw to one of his receivers (I think it was Gabri
Ryse: Son of Rome was originally an __ Xbox One exclusive that was released in 2013, it was later released in 2014 for the PC. It was developed by Crytek the same developers that created the Crysis series and just like that series Ryse has great visuals and fantastic production val
For FIFA 19 , it was a bit more difficult to capture a great moment. Since the replay camera is locked to a person — unless I’m missing something and you can freely control the camera — it was hard to get a good frame. What I have below is the best I could come up with, and I do think it looks pretty good, despite the lack of a full-fledged photo m
This year has been really great please click for source photo modes in games, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it included in some of the more annualized games, most notably in sports games. I wanted to see if I could take alright photos with FIFA 19 and Madden NFL 19 ’s replay functions; it turns out you kind of
With the nominations coming before the year’s end, we’re faced with the usual issue of not all of 2014’s titles being included (like Ubisoft’s The Crew ) but at least they got in the most recent two-three weeks which includes the largest batch of high profile releases. The deadline for eligible entrants was games released by November 25th. On the Canadian Videogame Awards front, the date of nomination eligibility was much earlier and meant that some of the year’s biggest titles ( Assassin’s Creed Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, etc. ) didn’t make the
What made it so great is how it was implemented; it was part of the story. Going to photo-ops for Thrasher and Skateboard Mag to be part of the publication’s cover is similar to making those covers in Marvel’s Spider-Man , but a bit more deliberate since each location was specific. Skate.reel only improved with each iteration of the game, allowing you to not only create great photos, but also videos worthy of being in Toy Machine’s Welcome to He
Having already sought inspiration from the literary world for the Stalker series prior to setting up 4A Games, it wasn’t all that surprising when the developers behind Metro 2033 did so again just a few years later. This time, however, it was the work of the Russian-Israeli author and journalist Dmitry Glukhovsky which caught their collective
Sniper Elite 4 is a __ World War 2 based open-world action game that was released in 2017. It takes players back to 1943 Italy in the role of a sniper they are free to roam around the massive well-designed levels to plan their methods of att
Marvel’s Spider-Man , No Man’s Sky , God of War : these three games have more in common than just their three-word titles. They have fantastic photo modes and they aren’t the only ones. 2018 has been possibly the best year for taking pictures in your favorite games: whether you’re trying to convey the heavy emotions of the moment, or taking a selfie with the benevolent Shirtless Spider-Man, you can now do that. This simple feature is so beloved, and it’s one that should be implemented in more games moving forw
As far as authors go, the late, great Tom Clancy has had a larger impact on the video game industry than most . Many of his novels have been adapted into video games, with numerous others being written as tie-ins. Perhaps the most prominent of these, however, is the writer’s Rainbow Six series, which has spawned numerous best-selling video games over the ye
