Photography Sim Games are now a Thing too
I was just watching demos of two photography sim games, supposedly launching officially in 2025. But what stood out for me was that both involve walking through the wilderness in some really stunning scenery, and taking into account all the normal environmental variables and technical camera challenges, you need to capture the photos.
So no rushing, racing, or shooting is required.
“The in-game camera includes an abundance of settings that you’d expect from a real-world professional DSLR camera. The camera simulates settings such as Auto/Manual Focus, Flash, Exposure, Contrast, White Balance, Aperture, Burst Shot, and other effects for full creative control over your photography. The game further provides tools that allow for manipulation of the environmental conditions for your photos, such as manual adjustment of light angles, fog, snow, wind, and rain.”
The two games I looked at are:
