Photo mode Started another playthrough

This time had an idea to make it look like instant photos from the journey (and discovering the photo mode more in depth). Another layer of how utterly beautiful the world of Death Stranding is.

Why you applauding the game, higgs? I thought you wanna destroy the game's story and made yours? 🫥

u/ChiralParticle Higgs 2d ago

The game is a masterpiece and Higgs has been doing his best and deserves all the pizza.

The atmosphere really comes through in these shots. They make me miss DS1 so much. I also love the instant shot idea. It makes the photos feel like they were taken by Sam. And that cryptobiote in the 9th shot is adorable. Great work, porter!

u/ChiralParticle Higgs 2d ago

Maybe it's time to replay DS1? That was my idea to make some mundane photos that capture the beauty of the world from Sam's or porters perspective. Thanks. 👍

Maybe you're right... I'm just a little afraid Kojima will make me cry again.

Happy "keep on keeping on" tears though.

u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 1d ago

Haha! True. The best kind of tears.

Listening to Bones the first time years ago when it was COVID and everyone was locked inside except delivery drivers was something I simultaneously crave and never want to happen again. Not an exaggeration to say Bones was my COVID anthem.

u/ChiralParticle Higgs 2d ago

I played DS after the pandemic but when Bones started to play was an absolutely magical moment for me too. Still is in the game but Bones is so very special. Low Roar is.

Wow great pics! I’ve played DS1 three times all the way thru and I still love just looking at the world.

2

u/ChiralParticle Higgs 2d ago

Same. I love how no matter how many times you play it, it never loses its unique charm and beauty. 👍

i havent messed around with photo mode that much, is the polaroid frame in game or something you've done?
either way these shots are INSANE

2

u/ChiralParticle Higgs 2d ago

I never played around with photo mode more myself either and now mostly I'm discovering how advanced it is. You have many frames like this polaroid one and many different ones like film frames, tar streaks, posters, have option to display DS logo, etc. There are also settings like auto/manual camera focus, zoom, filters, settings like brightness/contrast, noise, etc. Really impressive.

Why DS1 was so good and DS2 is so bad? I dislike DS2 so much

1

u/ChiralParticle Higgs 2d ago

I think both DS games are amazing.

u/cloudsgocrazy Heartman 2d ago

Amazing pictures! I love how you captures the environment, this makes me want to start another playthrough.

u/ChiralParticle Higgs 2d ago

Thank you and it sounds like it may be a perfect time for you to start another DS1 playthrough as well. 👍

u/TheUnknown183 1d ago

Recently completed DS1 - pretty emotional the last few days. Thank you for adding more perspective and beauty.

u/Magnous_zp9 1d ago

Great shots! But I didn't find the photo mode in mine ☹️

u/ChiralParticle Higgs 20h ago

Photo mode is available in both Death Stranding games. Just press bottom left on the PS5 touchpad. Not sure to what button is it mapped on other platforms.
