Thanks to PlayStation Lifestyle, we know that Insomniac Games are so proud of their photo-taking capabilities that they are sure it can beat one of the best out there, God Of War. The developers had a Twitch stream going where they were participating in an audience Q&A. However, the biggest highlight from the stream was when they mentioned the photo mode competition.
‘Every Sony first-party game has to up the other one,’ joke Insomniac, with a nod towards the boom in photo mode’s popularity stemming from Horizon Zero Dawn and, latterly, God of War. ‘So we’ve got to beat God of War now… It’s like a big, weird contest.’
Hmmm, I don't see why photo mode should be something studios fight or compete over. Do you think taking screenshots of the game is something imperative?
Spider-Man drops for PlayStation 4 on September 7, here is more info on the game straight from their website:
