Xbox One Stunning Screenshots Shows Us What To Expect When Available To The Public

As part of the March update for Xbox One the feature for taking screenshots went live. This feature is, for now, only available to members of the preview program but it will likely not change much when available to all users.

Already some beautiful shots have been posted on reddit by user 'TastyBread' and it shows us some beautifull panorama's and gameplay shots of Halo 4 and Far Cry 4.

Question out of curiosity since I didn`t try it yet. Any way to map the function to a button or does it only work via the voice command?

lemoncake3348d ago

You can also take pictures just using buttons.

Dudebro903348d ago

You can double tap home and then press either y or x, don't remember which, but its just like recording a video.

StrayaKNT3348d ago

If you double click the xbox button (how you open snap)
theres a 'Take a screenshot" button just by pressing Y and it takes the screenshot for you of what was on the screen at the time you double clicked the xbox button.

Just took a screenshot of my favorite WWE Superstar Roman Reigns on Raw just by saying Xbox take a screenshot because my controller is on the charger.

Rocky53347d ago

It's actually Press (Y) to save the screenshot.

As the screenshot is taken a soon as you double tap the home button (nexus/guide) (Y) just saves it.

Also for quickness you can just double tap home, press (Y) & it bypasses the screen. (You don't need to wait for the window to show)

That`s good, voice commands only would make it not so good for screenshots taken while the action is going on.

Naga3348d ago (Edited 3348d ago )

That is the opposite of what is true. Voice commands allow you to keep playing and seamlessly snap a screenshot without interrupting your inputs.

4Sh0w3348d ago (Edited 3348d ago )

Yeah screenshots are easy to take with voice commands but it is difficult to play and get the screenshot at the exact split second you want the pic, but its the same when using buttons....I just take 5 to 10 random shots then pick the best one.

When you get the right action shot the screenshots do look damm nice.

Volkama3347d ago

Snap breaks input completely, and it's too slow and clunky in general. Double-tap and y is nowhere near as convenient as the share button on the dualshock.

"Xbox take a screenshot" is a good alternative for the early adopters that have Kinect, so I'm glad they haven't totally neglected to include it.

I think you double tap the x box button and push x to record or y to save screenshot.

Still not used the video function yet I take few pics on steam but not many so this will not get used by me at all handy for people who like to share I guess.

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot41d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor40d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos41d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius41d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8840d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.
