Resident Evil Requiem has just received a major new update which adds photo mode along with a host of new improvements into the game including several bug fixes and gameplay improvements. The patch also improves character expressions during some in-game cutscenes “to better convey emotion” which means the main characters’ facial expressions will be even more believable and lifelike after the patch.
Normally you’d expect patches to only offer bug fixes and technical improvements but more realistic facial expressions is definitely a first so kudos to Capcom for going out of it’s way to make Requiem even better on a visual level.
The main highlight of the latest patch is definitely the photo mode which lets you play around with the field of view, control foreground and background blur, focus distance, character pose, expression, eye position, brightness, contrast, chromatic aberration and a lot more parameters. Plus you can also add frames, stickers and multiple visual filters which will provide even more personalization options for your in-game photos.
