Shadow of the Colossus looks bloody gorgeous on PlayStation 4, remade from the ground up. The system's share button was made for games like this, but as titles like Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Assassin's Creed Origins have shown us, it's even better when you're able to completely pause the action, find the right angle, and take some amazing, calculated snaps.
We are, of course, talking about photo modes -- and Shadow of the Colossus is getting one. Art director Mark Skelton of developer Bluepoint Games has taken to the PlayStation Blog to detail what we can expect from the newly implemented mode, and it sounds excellent.
"As we rebuilt the visuals for the game from the ground up (literally), one of the things we decided we had to include was a Photo Mode. We found ourselves spending more and more time with Photo Mode as the system took shape, grabbing photos we thought captured moments that were unique and awe-inspiring," writes Skelton.
"The thing that makes Photo Mode stand out is its power and flexibility. It’s an entire photo adjustment suite built into the game for you! Everything that I had access to as the Art Director, you have access to as the player."
The photo mode will include filters, tonal options, depth of field, and all that good stuff. We're sure Twitter will be flooded with some amazing pictures come launch day.

The game that really got me into taking photos was Ass Creed Origins. So many amazing sights in that game and all you have to do is hit two buttons and bam, take as many shots as you like.
I imagine a game like SotC is going to benefit from a photo mode massively. Some truly incredible views.
Wow, can see myself spending a lot of time with this! Now if only you could make Wander and Mono pull stupid faces like in Uncharted Lost Legacy...
Yeah, this game will be perfect for a photo mode. Great addition.
After taking nearly 500 snaps in Horizon (no joke) can I really afford enough space for a load more? Hmmmm...Yes I can.
One of my most anticipated games I have never played the original and really look forward to remaster.
Nice, can't wait to take many many photo in the game
😮!!
Great stuff, I love a good photo mode in games. I've got gigs full from games like Horizon, AC Origins and Uncharted 4.
This game is day one already, it will be great to play it again on PS4. Photo mode will be a great feature for this beautiful game.
I liked the photo mode in Horizon. I'm certain I'll use this one too.
Oh great, another game that'll take me months to complete because I'm stopping every thirty seconds to take a screencap! Arkham Knight, all the Uncharteds, Horizon, LA Noire, No Man's Sky, The Order: 1886 and WipEout have all wasted many an hour of my evenings as I desperately try to get the perfect shot...
...although, to be fair, that's nothing compared to the hours I waste trying to get the perfect shots in games without a Photo Mode, so I'll shut up now.
