The PlayStation 4 captures a screenshot that corresponds with every single Trophy you earn, and the vast majority of the time, those images are completely throwaway. A random image of a menu, a weapon aimed down sights, a non-descript cutscene - you know the drill. However, it turns out PS4 exclusive Days Gone actually scripted those Trophies to capture an image that relates back to the description of said achievement.
Responding to a post on Twitter, lead open world designer Eric Jensen said: It was intentional! I scripted all of the storyline Trophies in Days Gone to pre-capture a cool moment within a cinematic that tied to the intent of the Trophy. Thanks for noticing!"
It's a very minor detail, but it's one worth highlighting as work clearly went into making sure the right moment was captured. We'd love to see more games take this approach, it'll make our daily scroll through our own record of Trophies we've earned a little more interesting at least.

Thats Pretty Cool Out of All of My Games i Think The Tales Of Games Are The Only Ones That Doesn't Take a Screenshot
More games should do this to be honest, most of my trophies are a black screen :/
Granted, I don't stare at my trophies pics at all for the most part other then when they pop up saying that I got them but still... it's a nice little detail.
Yeah I like it, trophy capture most of the times just capture screenshot at most random moment, usually blank screen. I hope this become the standard for all sony 1st party games.
Yeah I recently turned off the automatic screen capture for trophies as most are blank screens or useless pictures. If more games did this I might turn it back on.
Good work. I turned automatic screen capture off years ago to save space on my hard drive because it was filling up with photographs of black screens or other blurry images. I didnt see the point of the feature. This makes it tempting to switch back on when i get around to Days Gone
@Areus Why do you type like that?
I always try to setup for the best screenshot. I have to be honest its always funny do 100 limit breaks and it takes the screenshot when its done not during because that would look way too cool... 😩
Nice to see neat little touches like this. Really shows the devs thought of pretty much everything. I haven't bought the game yet but it's on my list.
I have said this before. It's POINTLESS saving anything on these consoles anymore really :-/ Last week I lost 5+ years of all my 'Capture Gallery' stuff and the year before that I lost everything on my PS3's hard drive + It was nothing to do with the hard drive to. They still work after I had to do a factory reset on my PlayStation's. Oh well luckily I save all my game saves to USB every time I do a gaming session, thank GOD. If I didn't do that i would of cried for years
Nice touch, but I turned that feature off ages ago, precisely because most were useless images. More often than not it's a blank/black screen, or some random blurry or obscured image. If more games did this, it might be worth turning back on.
@Carl-G Why dont you back up?
@Rob3008 Like What?
Too bad they didnt pay that attention to detail to the rest of the game.
I wanted to like this but I just didnt. Im now sellijg this game and saving my zombie quota for the last of us
I'm couple of hours in and I'm not sure but I think there's also this "out of breath" thing. The character was having a conversation and I happened to be climbing a tall ladder at the time and it affected his voice.
I think Persona 5 has the best trophy screenshots...
