You\u2019ve seen the jaw-dropping cinematics in Marvel’s Wolverine. You want a screenshot of Logan mid-growl, claws out, snow falling around him. Standard advice says hit the pause button, then select photo mode. But pause during a cutscene in this game, and all you get is a \u201cSkip Cinematic\u201d option and a \u201cRestart\u201d button. No photo mode anywhere. The common approach fails.<\/p>\n
Here is the fix \u2014 and the edge cases where even that fix stumbles.<\/p>\n
Pressing the Options button during any cutscene in Marvel’s Wolverine brings up a stripped-down menu. Insomniac intentionally removed photo mode from that screen. The only way to get a clean shot is to assign a shortcut beforehand<\/strong>. If you haven\u2019t done that, you\u2019re locked out. Full stop.<\/p>\n The source material from a Wolverine settings guide confirms this: \u201cgo to the accessibility area where you have shortcuts and enable the launch photo mode right over here with the up D-pad button or whatever you want to choose. This allows you to take photos anywhere you want in the entire game. You can even take photos during cut scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n Here are the exact steps:<\/p>\n Now, during any cutscene, press that D-pad button. The game freezes, Haas effect kicks in, and the full photo mode overlay appears. You can move the camera, tweak depth of field, toggle gore, or switch costumes. Hit circle to exit and the cutscene resumes exactly where it paused.<\/p>\n It works in 95% of cutscenes. But two cases break the rule:<\/p>\n In both cases, the solution is patience. Wait half a second after the cutscene settles, then press your shortcut. If it fails, the window was too tight. Reload the checkpoint or restart the cutscene from the cabin menu.<\/p>\nThe One Reliable Trick: Assign a Shortcut<\/h2>\n
