Need for Speed Gets Photo Mode, Sharing Options

Need for Speed might not have got the warmest of receptions but that hasn't stopped developer Ghost Games adding a slew of new features to its open-world racer. These include photo mode for you to take pictures and show off your ride.

"Hit start to get to phone screen, then select Snapshot Pro from the phone menu. You'll then be able to manoeuvre the camera around the car, apply a number of custom settings such as depth of field, brightness, contrast, vignette, saturation and more," wrote Ben Walke, Content and Community Manager at Ghost Games on how to access it. "You'll also be able to apply a number of pre-set filters, allowing you to achieve great results in a very short amount of time."

In addition, to this you'll be able to share the custom liveries you created for your cars. Called Wrap Sharing, Ghost Games claims it's been one of the most requested features to date. With it, you can browse and download creations of other players. The post proceeded to outline how this would work.

"Downloading and applying a community made wrap is as easy as heading into the community wrap section in the 'Paint and Wrap' section, finding one that you like and hitting the download button. Once downloaded you'll then be able to apply it to your ride and even edit and tweak it should you wish."

You can download this latest update to Need for Speed on Wednesday, February 3.
