FAST Fusion Gets Snappy: Switch 2 Racer Adds Photo Mode, Because Why Not?
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
*FAST Fusion* on the Switch 2 is getting a photo mode in its next update, letting players capture and customize their futuristic racing moments. Seems like a solid addition to a game that's already got style for days, and the update addresses some key bugs as well.
Right, so *FAST Fusion*, the Switch 2's futuristic racer that some are calling a solid *Mario Kart World* alternative, is getting a photo mode. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Photo mode? Groundbreaking!" But hold your horses, mate, because this isn't just some tacked-on feature. Shin'en Multimedia, the folks behind *FAST Fusion*, are dropping the update on July 10th, and it sounds like they've actually put some thought into it.
According to a scoop from *Nintendo Life*, the 1.4 update will let you zoom, tilt, focus (fancy!), and even slap on a vignette effect – because apparently, we're all about that vintage aesthetic, even in the future. Plus, customizable frames! It's practically an Instagram filter for your anti-grav shenanigans.
Now, I'm a bit of a cynic, you know? I always reckon that photo modes are a bit of an afterthought. But honestly, the *FAST* series has always been about pushing the limits, especially with its bonkers customization system. I mean, 'Fusion Mode' allows you to create hundreds of ship combos. Imagine the wild photos you could take when you finally create the most ridiculous-looking ship imaginable.
What's interesting is that the update also tackles some bugs, which are always welcome. Wrong music playing on a track? Sorted. Map too big? Fixed. Invisible walls in higher leagues? Addressed. Seems like Shin'en Multimedia is actually listening to what players want.
And speaking of listening, the previous "Pure Update" on June 26th added new tracks and a "PURE" rendering mode, allowing you to toggle upscaling at 1440p docked and 1080p in handheld. Which might be useful for budding in-game photographers now, eh?
It does feel like the games industry has some sort of trend for adding Photo Modes *after* launch. Gearbox Software, for example, will be adding a Photo Mode in *Borderlands 4*. It begs the question, is it necessary for games to release with a Photo Mode, or are you willing to wait?
Look, I'm not saying a photo mode is going to change the world. But in a game like *FAST Fusion*, where style and speed collide, it could add a whole new layer of creative fun. And, fair dinkum, who doesn't like taking a good screenshot?
