Since the launch of Horizon Zero Dawn we have seen an enormous amount of fan activity. Not only in the form of fan art but also in the shape of photos taken with the photo mode. Over at Guerrilla we enjoy scrolling through our Twitter timeline seeing all of the beautiful pictures the fans have been sharing forums and we want to give something back.
The sheer beauty of the photo’s you have been sharing has been a huge compliment for us and we have seen some amazing pictures being shared. We have asked Roderick van der Steen, our lead lighting artist and in-house photographer, to select a few of his favourites and add some details on what makes these stand out.
We would like to thank you all for these amazing images and our way of doing that is by adding more ways for you guys to express your artistry. Therefore we are very happy to share with all of you that our upcoming patch will include an update for photo mode.
We are adding three new filters, the ability to show a grid, option to add ‘greetings from’ to the image, the ability to select different poses for Aloy, select a facial expression and make her look into the camera. We already created some images for you to get an idea of what we are adding and we cannot wait to see what you can do with these new additions.
These added photo mode features are just a small portion of the enhancements we have made to the game. Over at Guerrilla we feel that is very important to listen to the community, so the patch will also include a lot of feature request straight from the community.
Version 1.20 will include a slider that will adjust the camera/aim sensitivity, supports a Map legend where you are able to filter on icons, more HUD customisation options (hide enemy stats, quest markers and tutorial tips), the ability to hide head gear, and more.
We will keep listening to all your requests as we feel it is important that you have the best possible experience when playing Horizon Zero Dawn.
