If only they would release the Jet Ski mode with controller support.
I'm no Durante but maybe it has something to do with Forward+ rendering in FH2. It's way out of my league.

Not compressed? Well, I can now understand why the feature took time to come out
Depends on the game. For those with Deffered Rendering it won't do much because it's pretty much incompatible with MSAA as a whole. Games with Forward rendering like Forza and The Order can actually make use of it. Considering a large amount of games in the recent years have used Deffered rendering it's no wonder you aren't getting any results from MSAA. For this setup devs usually resort to post-processing AA and temporal AA.
It's calibrated, not professionally of course.
It's pretty close to the source. Identical? Just don't see it.
I should just try my luck with a screenshot and do the comparison myself.
These Forza Horizon 2 screenshots are simply beautiful :0
It's a nice feature to have but I'm not sure how to feel about this screenshot thing in general in relation to this statement (for either system) because, I don't think a screenshot should sell a game. To me it feels like it prioritizes a pretty still shot to sell a game with no indication of how smoothly it runs or anything about the gameplay. I don't like that trend of devs throwing all the system power to make a pretty image to show off. The Order destroys everything in screenshots.

Although I'd already played the demo the screenshots in this thread have re-sold me on SO.

Hit damn, the screenshot feature alone is making me wish I was in the preview program. How does one sign up for it?

How do you take the AC Unity pics without the character... I know how to turn off the HUD but but not the character 
You need to be referred and it may take a while to get accepted. Anyone in the Preview Program can refer you based off of your gamertag.

Play around in a corner
I don't think it necessarily sells games or systems, but it helps to clear the confusion around the whole hardware and power talks, because this is the real deal, no enhanced photo mode or PR bullshottery, this is captured by players and represents what it actually on screen. And also it helps to capture moments you want to capture without difficulty or need for external capture cars. I think it's a nice feature and might push game devs to put even more detail into games, because now it's all kinda exposed, both ugly and pretty. Selling games or systems might be a side effect of the whole thing.

SO actually looks incredible and there are huge battles with particles and explosions all over the place
Its funny how many people think the XB1 is garbage.

I think the reason for this might be the fact that your computer screen is smaller than your tv along with a higher pixel density, which causes the screenshots to appear better than on your TV which is likely significantly larger than your computer screen along with a much lesser pixel density. If you take a screenshot and then look at it on IE on your xbox one on your TV screen and compare it to the actual game then guaranteed they will look identical.
Wait, how do you do that?
Where would I go because I'm not seeing anything but clips.
Maybe, maybe not. I know what the system is capable of as Unity is impressive.

edit: how are you guys posting your screenshots. Clearly I did something wrong.
You need to go to the link from the tweet
https://account.xbox.com/en-US/scre...112&scid=bfd50100-73e2-4d76-bba3-230210134db7
Then right click the image and copy the URL. You get this:
http://screenshotscontent-t3001.xbo..._=1424552942_e217a561759eea87e0a07a05c3f396b8
You can cut out all the unnecessary junk from the link too but it works on GAF either way:

The smaller screen on a PC could be a reason too. Again, can someone explain how do I grab the photos from Xbox.com?
Yeah, I am seeing a lot of the games I own and that is how the games look on my screen. The Xbox One has some killer looking games... accept it.
