I'd just like to thank Yamauchi-san for including Photomode, a great feature.
What I think is funny is how ill-recieved this mode was just a few short months ago. It was entertaining watching people complain about how it will be stupid to take pictures of the car, and how worthless it is. Although people were angry about the lack of an online mode, or any online leaderboard feature, there was a total hostility towards the inclusion of this mode. All you hear was, "Who the hell wants to take pictures, I want to race", or, "This is retarded, nobody will ever use it".
Well they've certainly been proved wrong. If it weren't for photomode, we wouldn't have any of the beautiful screenshots that we have seen popping up around here recently. And just the pure beauty of these screenshots makes it all worthwhile. I think people were thinking too much towards the fact that you would be printing out these images. When in fact, they have found a much better use being posted around here, even spawning a new forum just for photo's and video's. I haven't even played the game yet, but I still tell how great of a feature photomode is. So, those who have the game, what are your thoughts, comments, complaints, etc, about Photomode?
Personally, when I get the game, I am going to use this mode alot. I am even going to see if I can a few of my pictures printed out on some nice high-quality photo paper, maybe blown up to about 8x10 or larger (resolution pending) and framed to make some nice artwork in my room.
