Photomode features

[sick summit]

Photo mode still feels like a downgrade compared to the previous games and still has a lot of untapped potential.

• Separate Time and Weather options, like in TC1 and TC2

• Allow us to switch between low and high beams manually. Headlights change automatically based not only on time of day but also location, which limits pics possibilities.

• Switch ** On / Off** water droplets and tire marks. Droplets even appear indoors, and tire marks can easily ruin a clean shot.

• Filters from Playlists, like Vintage Garage or Made in Japan.

• Fog density option. Fog currently appears occasionally in freeroam or summits and can’t be selected manually in photo mode (it could in previous games).

• Option to open doors

• Custom resolution when saving photos. In the first game it was an option, and during Season 1 pics were automatically saved in 4K even if the game was running at a lower resolutions.

I agree with everything here
The photomode needs a proper rework like someone else mentioned in a previous thread somewhere.

I recently played Ghost of Yotei and while the photomode in there as well isnt perfect, the ability to change weather, weather type, fog, how much fog, how many particles of whatever and the filters are more than enough - its what a nice photomode option SHOULD look like.

The cars are detailed enough I think on the inside to make an option for opening the doors, so you can take nice cockpit pictures.

The filters from different playlists is also a really nice idea I think.
Filters and «watermark» type stuff from the playlists. (Added example from Yotei)

For rain to be switced on/off and maybe even a slider to adjust how much rain you want would be nice too.
Basically what the particles slider in Yotei does very nicely.
Even go as far as toggle lightning on and off and how much of that as well.
Theres some cool pictures to be taken in storms, but its completely RNG how much you have to wind and rewind in photomode to get the lightning at all (added examples)

I’m not sure what you mean with the headlights though, isnt there already an option for turning lights on/off?

Photomode is very basic and even the motion blur looks half assed. I wish they would improve many things in this regard, like:

• custom resolutions
• fullscreen exclusive
• unlocked framerates
• motion blur
• car models (maybe some look worse due to bad graphics options)
• custom options for cars in photos (open doors, hood, etc)

If they improved these things similar/close to Forza quality, would look much better. But not holding my breath.

Sorry, I didn't see your reply until today. About the headlights, we have only one option. On / Off all lights. All cars have 3 beam levels as you can see in the second Pic but we can set them as we want... It depends not only on the time, but also on the location... There are places where you enter photo mode and when you move forward and backward, the lights switches between high and low.

Blur is really ass in this game honestly... And i really support the moving car parts for photo mode (doors and active spoilers)... I doubt the trunks and hoods because they probably don't even have them modeled.

and perhaps would be a good idea to set which direction u want ur front wheels are turning to,for example simple options like full left or full right would be good, just like fh5

[gloomy minnow]

You can if you turn before entering photomode, but yes - would be much nicer to adjust it on a slider while already in there.

[sick summit]

Yeah, a slider would make things a bit easier
