If he's capturing the fuckin' Fraps FPS counter in the corner, my bet is that it's saving lossy JPGs and doesn't have anything to do with the host.
Actually, it's probably both. I bet they're compressed JPGs being uploaded to a site that compresses images, lol.
EDIT: I just tested it out and found that PicPar actually does NOT COMPRESS images. So, ya, it's his capturing.

Yeah. I dunno either side of it is whatever for me. I've seen a poop-ton of Skyrim shots, but it's always nifty to see a fresh take. And on my end I've not actually done that many in the game.
I really hope the slew of open world games coming up are very customizable and free to be screened!
I'm expecting Watch_Dogs to be a screenshot king.
We'll see. Next year is the year of GTA V screenshots -- Rockstar, gods, and the ENB willing.

Damn, that's a great demo, and the fact that it's on Unity is amazing(correct me if i'm wrong, but Unity always seemed like a simpler engine)
Loving the Outlast screenshots. getting more and more interested in the game.

I hope the games oblige us with proper controls.

I expect next-gen to be horribly restrictive and terrible for screenshots. Let's hope I'm wrong.
We'll still be mostly "cross-gen" for another year. You really think there's a general industry shift away from allowing capable screenshot abilities?
I really feel the opposite. Hell, Final Fantasy XIV on consoles allows you to hide the UI with a button press, and then take screenshots with another... on the controller. Sony has that sharing shit for the PS4. Sony seems to be all about it, fuckin' Shuhei Yoshida posted a screenshot from KillZone multiplayer live on stage.
I actually think devs and publishers are realizing that allowing their fans to "market" the game for them can be a positive.
Bethesda sure as fuck understands that, at least. Also, I think with the rise of PC gaming in the last few years, the newer generation of developers are starting to understand PC gamers a little better. They kind of gave us the finger when the 360 and PS3 rolled out, but I think the PC will have a much better transition into this next console generation. Screenshot capabilities included.
Actually, I think there will be a much stronger emphasis on less intrusive UIs in the next generation. That's something, too. I can see things like idle-fading HUDs becoming standard as developers try to increase the level of cinematic presentation.

A lot more games now have huds that only appear when something changes than ever before. Also, I decided to swallow the bucket of bullets and install Skyrim again. An angel must be looking after me though, because Windows 8.1 doesn't play well with ENB and i've hit nothing but snags with the mods I chose to go with, so you won't be seeing anything from me! HA!

Maybe. I'm not going to be optimistic though. For every game that allows us to take the exact screenshot we want, there are 10 more that make it impossible. You can always count on Bethesda though. I sincerely hope that Techland leaves the dev menu buried somewhere in Dying Light's code. That game looks like it will be amazing for screenies.
Also, Brothers

OH MAH GAD. So BUTTERFUL!

FFXIV 1.0
Don't recall if your character glows/lights up as much as they did in 1.0 in 2.0 when they are near light sources. But i'm probably the only person on the planet who loved that.

Well i hadn't have much time to test it .but i can confirm that Tiledshots work.
Playersonly does not seem to work though.
That is a cool shot.
Love it, Tiledshot makes my old 560ti spit out screenshots like a dual Titan! Although it doesn't play the same in motion...but then this isn't the High-Res Youtube thread is it? =)Well i hadn't have much time to test it .but i can confirm that Tiledshots work.

Unfortunately grass rendering distance in editor is very poor and i cant launch it in GameSDK launcher.
Here guy is doing some cool destruction test on this map:

Its also amazing how water changes color with ToD in this engine, subsurface scattering really does wonders.
The in-game screenshot generator of Final Fantasy XIV takes compressed images. Please don't post them here. Use Fraps or SweetFX to take uncompressed PNGs.
Actually, there's a PNG option for screenshots in the options menu, try that. I don't know how the IQ of those turn out. Using third-party capture software will also remove the Square Enix copyright from the bottom left.
Radeon Pro takes uncompressed bmps.

Art Style in this game is pretty nice. I love the locations too.
A free camera would help a lot here....

I don't think it's SSS that's changing the color like that. CE has a smart 'water fog' thing for colorizing, and I believe that is reactive to the ToD. SSS would make sense for murkier water, but I don't think they're implementing it that way.
Uh... Not that it's important

Dunno havent check that just changed time of day and water looked much different.
Doesnt in real life water color depend of light penetration through it, so basically SSS?
At least by my logic i think it works that way.I'll check those settings in editor

O_O
Guys look at this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8NSG2VrSUX8

The color of the water is more dependent on its contents than the light applied to it. Swampy water has dense particles that create a greenish hue. Tropical water is less saturated with opaque particles, or with whatever it i that makes it more blueish (perhaps salt and the effect is similar to atmospheric stuf making the sky blue?). In any case SSS is less about coloration due to light, and more about the spread of light through the color and material of a substance, which cause coloration. Surely though, a colored light would affect this, but based on quick look at what the SSR stuff is, it's more some sort if volumetric reflection of light, which I suppose is a very similar principle. I'm not nearly an expert, I'm just talking from my continuing studies of modeling and on quick looks at how the CE water material works.
I guess volumetric reflection is in principle very similar to SSS. In any case, the important note is that the waters junk (which in CE is the water fog), is what mainly colors it and reacts to light. Not just its depth/the lighting conditions.
And I feel that was far too verbose. Awesome stuff all around! That video makes me dearly want an open world CE rpg. Yargh. With better than chivalry combat.

Alright CRAZY idea I'm throwing out here but if you set Chromattic Abberation to a NEGATIVE value with SweetFx, would it be possible to remove it from games that have it by default?
Someone should test this out, though I'm guessing instead of red and blue lines it'll just be purple lines everywhere.
Edit: Also, where'd you get the new version of SweetFx?
