Agreed. Keep those filthy achievements out of my screenshots thread.Screenshots are screenshots. Sharing screenshots serves a particular purpose, or many purposes.
Tracked achievements are not screenshots. They're not related. They serve a completely different purpose.
Can we please not drag a dumb apples/oranges debate into here?
Some PS3 games have it, although they are rare! It was added to the firmware a long time ago, but you have to XMB out, scroll to pictures and so forth to take one. Not sure what "cost" it has, which may be why devs shy away from using it, but its in there, just like YouTube video capturing. I think NobyNoby Boy has both if youre looking for a REAL SHOWCASE!!!!
Heres a thread that could be out of date or a real reflection on how few games have it enabled!
Only the Vita has OS level screenshotting, yes? I've never noticed it on the PS3. From experience, the PS3 works exactly the same as the Wii did: game specific screenshot functions, and ability to share those saved images with friends via messaging.
The WiiU now needs DoA5. Imagine the screen capture potential.
I want all next-gen systems to have this feature.

I remember when we had a thread about what features we want in next-gen systems. This was at the top of my list.I want all next-gen systems to have this feature.

Of course, to truly qualify it needs to be easy to use (e.g. a button combination like on Vita / cell phones), universally available (no option for developers to disable it) and stored in high quality (no awful compression or downsampling).
Seems like a false dichotomy to me. Why not have both? Indeed, some Nintendo games will based on the developer.
Screenshots is so last gen. I want streaming capabilities for next gen.
Sure why not.
Universal screenshot feature is more social-like for the "facebook for gamers" Nintendo seems to be building with Miiverse.
If I had to choice I would take screenshots. Although most games will have accomplishments/checklists so OCD folks will be happy (or folks who want extra replay value), just not a universal one like achievements or trophies.
With origin having twitch integration, I think the 360 or PS3 successor having this would be huge. So many people stream nowadays.
I"m not really into trophies or achievements either but I can see the worth of them. I think combining the two aspects would be cool, have a screenshot taken when you get a trophy or achievement.
If I understand correctly how the miiverse will work is the following.
You play a game
you unlock some "accomplisment" in game
the game posts this in your miiverse*
you can take screenshots
you post them in miiverse
*integration depends on developer
If I have understood wrong someone please correct me.

Parental controls are available:Is Miiverse available for kids? Just wondering if Timmy 10 years old has a friend a few years older who starts posting violent screenshots.
Or vice versa, if I add a relative's kid to my friends list, do I have to refrain from posting gore? Just a hypothetical question though.
Miiverse usage: viewing of and posting to Miiverse can be restricted in order to prevent the exchange of inappropriate content with other users.

Achievements and trophies are worthless. Give me game-specific leaderboards an the ability to capture screens/video any day.This is the saddest thing I've read on here in a while.
I bet you won't be able to upload any screenshots to twitter/facebook/photobucket, so it's kind of hard to be excited by this.
There's parental control stuff for that.Is Miiverse available for kids? Just wondering if Timmy 10 years old has a friend a few years older who starts posting violent screenshots.

Having said that, there's going to be browser and mobile apps for this stuff, so we can't judge everything until those are out. The web interface may have options to share to facebook/twitter, and so forth.
This will be perfect for Platinum's games. Incoming pictures for Bayonetta 2's Pure Platinum Rank Difficulty Charts and Wonderful 101 Gold/Platinum Newspaper Clippings! Cooler than any stupid trophy/achievement list! =D
... what you're describing is not trophies/achievements, it's leaderboards.
Is there a way to upload them/transfer them outside of the Miiverse for sharing on the internet?Its indeed OS level. It takes a screenshot of the paused game in the background of Miiverse.
I'm not talking scores or leaderboards. I'm talking about the Total Results screens in Bayonetta/DMC games. Japanese action games (at least Kamiya's titles) usually have them in some fashion. Couldn't I potentially snap pictures of my (inevitable) Total Results screens? Isn't that how the snapshot function works for Wii U? You can take screenshots from any screen during gameplay?
