If Destiny has a screenshot mode, it needs roll. (Destiny)

In the wake of InFAMOUS Second Son's photo mode being received extremely well, any game with a photo mode that doesn't have roll is like a modern console FPS that doesn't support dual analog aiming, or a Halo game without bump-mapped specular reflections from dynamic spotlights.

Here's a screenshot I took a few minutes ago. Really simple framing, but you simply couldn't do it in this scene without roll (short of rotating the image in an editor, which is annoying).

Being able to do that on the fly while taking game screenshots feels liberating.

More fully-featured screenshot modes also help the internet market your game for you, as also demonstrated by Second Son.
