Game News Red Dead Redemption 2: This shot of the Rockstar game rewarded in an artistic contest!
The functionality is now part of the expectation of players, but it’s only been ten years since photo modes really started to appear, and only really took off with the appearance of options for sharing on console in 2013.
Using photo mode is an art!
Sure, PC gamers have long had tools to immortalize their games, but we are talking here regarding integrated photo modes, allowing you to make adjustments, whether in terms of contrast, brightness, aperture, saturation or even the viewing angle. Since the arrival of the eighth generation of consoles, many players share their best captures screenshots or their best character portraits on social media.
And as much to say that there is true artists! When we walk a little on the accounts dedicated to these photographs of video games, we discover real works of art, which the studios like to relay. the London Games Festivalwhich took place from April 1 to 10, decided to renew its competition to reward the best shots made with the photo mode of the games.
(On) challenged budding artists to capture the most striking images seen in a video game to bring these worlds and characters to life
Winner with Arthur Morgan and Red Dead Redemption 2
Candidates might take photos in portrait mode, in landscape mode or in abstract mode, and might do so from any game or platform. The direction of the contest left to the participants the possibility of doing post-production, but it was by no means mandatory. At the end of a demanding selection, it is Joe Meizies, who had placed two shots in the final, who won. The winning photo is from Red Dead Redemption IIand it is the one that is visible just below.
The winner, who also took the photo of Shadow of the Tomb Raider which you can see among the other shots, came away with a laptop equipped with an RTX 3080 Ti. Also note that all of the finalist shots were exhibited in Trafalgar Square. We find there in particular Ghostwire Tokyo, Horizon : Forbidden West, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Batman Arkham Knight, Control, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Outriders, Grand Touring 7, Star Wars Jedi : Fallen Order, Tom Clancy’s The Division or Guardians of the Galaxy.
The photography competitions have become a real highlight of the London Games Festival, said Michael French, director of the London Games Festival. Last year’s standard was high, but our applications this year have really raised the bar. There was a great mix of creativity and not only in the images offered, but also in the post-production work. We’re thrilled to be able to share all of the featured images with everyone and are already looking forward to next year!
