I have literally so many screenshots from gaming it's not even funny. I fucking love it, my favorite feature from this gen hands down. I feel like a photographer in my video games:p
So the Share Button is becoming a standard feature on controllers going forward
- Thread starter Diarrhea Day-Lewis
- Start date
I love it. But the fact that you can no longer just share directly to Facebook on PS4 is big hit to the feature for me.
It was a great idea, I'm glad MS is following suit. Having one-button access to screenshot and video capture is something I can't do without anymore.
That's their excuse for not allowing us to use our Xbox one controllers on the new system, no share button :(
It's about time it gets one but that's the only thing added from what I've seen in the video

Share button has been my favorite. I love being able to capture cool moments, read, or combos in fighters.
Also love being able to upload rage quitters.
Thought they said all peripherals are compatible.

I went PS4 only for 60% of this generation and loved used the button. When I made the switch to Xbox One X, I hated the fact that it didn't had a dedicated share button. I'm glad this will be the standard now.
I like the way it works on the Switch.
The PS4 implementation feels a bit cumbersome, I only ever find myself pressing it accidentally when I'm looking for the select-button which, I keep having to remind myself, doesn't exist. They really should find a better placement for it that doesn't mirror the option-button, like maybe the top of the controller between the shoulder buttons.

It's one of the best features of this gen for me. And I didn't even use it to share anything! Just use it as a screenshot button and made thousands of screenshots from games. Something that I always wanted to do on consoles, but didn't have the ability.
This too.
You know you can make the PS4 the same thing as the Switch right? Just change it to take an image on press and video on hold.
I personally have never used it, but I dont see a reason why it shouldn't be added.
Great for those who like to capture and share content.

I never really use the share feature, but I do capture a lot of videos so I'm glad both consoles made the move this gen to make it really accessible for everyone.
I like the snappy, instantaneous response of the capture button on Switch the best (I also like the feel of it better than the flat/vague things on the DS4, and it sometimes takes a couple seconds for it to tell you that your capture was successful on PS4, which is weird), but I'm glad it's a feature on all consoles now. I hate its implementation on the XB1, so this is a great change. I don't care about instantly sharing, but having the option to do so later is appreciated.
One of the best features on PS4 and Switch. Hell, going back in time a bit, it was amazing on Vita as well.
honestly the share menu feels a lot slower than it did back when the PS4 launched so I'm hoping for a smoother transition with the PS5.

Probably have it tie into the Xbox Game Bar's capture feature.
Yeah, it's the logical extension of what they began with Vita, having an easy screenshot function and the ability to multitask with apps for Twitter and Facebook and post them directly without closing a game.
The PS4 share button is probably my favorite feature on there being used for tens of thousands of pictures and nearly a 100 videos for upload, makes for a great reminder for my memories which I wouldn't normally remember, I hope Sony uses more sites aside from the usual FB (before it got removed) and Twitter, like upload all the photos on the Cloud.
I love it. I use it really frequently to save memorable screenshots or footage, and it's thanks to this feature (coupled with Sharefactory) that I started uploading gameplay clips to YouTube.
I also have tinnitus and sometimes l'll miss the odd bit of dialogue in a game, so being able to quickly capture footage to review it has been a godsend.

Yup, when I noticed this on my switch I understood how necessary it was for every controller to take from the DS4 share button.
"Xbox, take a screenshot."
One of the few reasons to still have your Kinect hooked up.
It need better implementation on PS controller though. I can't tell whether I already pressed it or not (becase the button is recessed) and there is some delay between button press and screenshot notification so I often came up with several screenshots of the same thing.
This. The button placement and the haptic feedback are horrible, same goes to the option button.
Uh, they do work. They stated that every Xbox One peripheral will work on the new series.
My thoughts as well, I think sharing on the Xbox One is quicker than pressing the dedicated share button on PS4. I wouldn't say a dedicated button is needed/necessary faster tbh, hopefully we can remap it
I don't think I've felt the need to record or capture anything this entire gen.
As a compulsive screenshot maker this idea getting standarised is pure happiness.
My screenshot count on Steam, Wii U and Switch is INSANE
Now Microsoft, for fucks sake, ADD GYRO

Yeah, i'm going one step further and say that it's my favourite new feature of this gen of consoles period. As someone who doesn't have a fancy audio set and used to play with the built-in tv speakers, the headphone jack enhanced my gaming experience in a way i can't describe. I hope it's there to stay.
Share button is cool too, but i don't use it often honestly. It was obviously a great idea from the start though.
Lol... you know that you can just take screenshots and video of beautiful/wierd shit happens in games without sharing on Facebook, right?
And it's great like that, glad that industry is following that.
