After The Order: 1886 was released last February, many are amazed by the level of graphical detail the game brought albeit its overall lackluster game play. Critics agree that the game showed a level of graphical excellence that almost surpasses all triple-A games released so far. The level of visual beauty prompted fans to request a tool to enhance in-screenshot taking. Because of this, a new photo mode gives gamers the chance to manipulate the visual style of the game to one's preference.
IGN reports that the new photo and filter mode will allow players to change camera angles even during cutscenes, alter film grading, adjust lighting and even take screenshots. The release of the new photo mode was prompted by fan requests as posted in the PS blog.
The blog also posted a trailer to show gamers this new camera mode.
The Order: 1886 is one of the first triple-A games released for the Playstation 4 this 2015. Though much hype was created with game promotions, it failed to score high marks among fans and critics. Even if the visual beauty is uncontested, the gameplay is much less desirable. However, this new photo mode will add another level to enjoying the visuals of the game.
In other news, Japanese censors drastically cut risqué in-game moments to fit the country's regulations before releasing the game. Moments of nudity and sexual activities briefly yet explicitly shown in The Order are altered and even removed entirely by Japanese censors.
The move seemed to contradict Japanese culture, especially as anime releases offer scenes of sexual content and innuendos that are liberally spiced in. This is not the only time Japanese censors forcefully altered game elements to adhere to national standards.
Before Fallout 3 came to Japan, censors forcefully edited out the Nuke scene from the story entirely. GTA V also had its fair share of game content edits as sexual content are toned down considerably. A video posted on Kotaku humorously shows the edits Japanese censors did to the game. If Japan is really over sensitive to sex and violence in games or just biased to foreign titles no one will ever know, but these censor shoguns rule in the Land of the Rising sun.
