Why Minecraft would be perfect for the Vita

And obviously the PS3 with their cross buy/save pairings that they like doing. But it would sell Vitas.

Minecraft is a bigger phenomenon than many people will admit. While it would be more likely to see a 3DS version, I'd enjoy playing this on my Vita.

Paul_Murphy4048d ago

I agree with you and wrote that it is a phenomenon, but I don't personally agree that a 3DS version is more likely.

Comments attributed to Jens suggest that a Wii U version is "unlikely" and I don't think that the 3DS would have the power required to run it; I think even the Vita is a big ask. The thing is is a drain on CPUs.

murkster-dubez4048d ago

How is vita a big ask? its already on android.

Paul_Murphy4048d ago

@murkster-dubez the Android version is the Pocket edition, has a limited world and is very far behind the 360 version, let alone the PC version.

Whilst even the Pocket Version would probably be welcomed, I'd rather a big, fuller version. wouldn't you?

subtenko4047d ago

It would be perfect on the PS3 with the playstation move but you dont see a ps3 version now do you? Because Notch or whoever didnt think about it/doesnt want to bother for some strange reason..

I mean even if I was a xbox360 fanboy I'd say "Dang..why isnt it on ps3 with that move controller" because it doesnt make sense for it not to be.

Paul_Murphy4047d ago

@subtenko it's not on the PS3 because Microsoft got there first or wanted it more and inserted an exclusivity period. once that has passed I'm sure we will see it elsewhere, ie PS3 and Vita.

Why is it more likely to the 3DS? when it would be perfect for the PS Vita!

dedicatedtogamers4048d ago

I'm not saying it will be on 3DS, but the 3DS has a much larger handheld marketshare in the West. Unless Sony cut a deal with the Minecraft crew, a 3DS version seems more likely if it was coming to handhelds, thats all. Personally, I'd prefer a Vita version.

SandWitch4048d ago (Edited 4048d ago )

I disagree about Minecraft being more likely on a 3DS. Minecraft is more profitable than a GTA game, Notch now has more money than he has ever dreamt about. In my opinion he will try to launch it on as many platforms as possible.

Also Notch said he is considering Minecraft on PlayStation, so Sony will most likely push him to release it on both PS3 (or even PS4) and PS VITA with cross-functions.

TongkatAli4048d ago

All that market share, but the Vita is getting more dev support, truth.

Protagonist4048d ago

I understand what you mean, but the PS Vita handles online much better. I dont own a 3DS, but as far as I have understood, online is not a strong feature on the 3DS, which is essential for Minecraft. Am I completely wrong about this?

Apollosupreme4048d ago

There has been ziltch in terms of 3DS interest based on what I've read. They've spoken on the Vita potential for Minecraft many times; I'm talking about the Notch and co.

Its perfect on the vita. Just port minecraft onto the vita and add touch screen features like touching tools and materials on the screen.

illtornworld4047d ago

i would love Minecraft on Vita! imagine the hours we could spend on it on the go! Plus we wouldn't need a computer. xD I hope this happens and be able to play the pokemon mod. <3

profgerbik4047d ago (Edited 4047d ago )

My only concern is games like this with a lot of customization can require a lot of RAM and can be tough on your CPU at times depending on the user of course. I know it could run on the Vita no doubt but I know it will be limited compared to the PC version for instance.

Not sure how well it would work bit sized, especially for a game like this where you want limitless options to mess around with, why would you want a limited version? Just to have it on the Vita.

Don't get me wrong I support more games coming to the Vita and if they can manage to get it working well, I am all for it but just knowing how resource intensive the game can get is all that worries me. Touch screen and all that I am sure would be great features to use with it but knowing it would probably be a portable or limited version just doesn't seem worth it for this type of game at least for me.

It is the ability to create that makes this game what it is, so I just don't have much interest in cut back versions that will only limit your creativity.

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name37d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno36d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno36d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure36d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Minecraft Bedrock Introduces Official Add-Ons To Marketplace

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX56d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
