A challenger appears: New musician making waves in Minecraft

A short time in the making, but intentions clear, familiar music is surfacing from a new musician that may force Minecraft's current composer, C418, to make room. It is rumored that talk is taking place between the two musicians about a potential partnership, and the musical future of Minecraft appears encouraging. A preview of what we may expect after the jump.

In case anyone wants a link to the downloadable songs, go here: http://renin.bandcamp.com/a...

Looks like he's gonna make a whole album of this stuff. For free!
I think he has a blog somewhere, too. I can't find it right now.

This is a joke of news if there ever was one. This links directly to some Facepunch thread and the person who submitted this is either the musician himself or a fan.

Not knocking the music in anyway, it's nice (if not just similar to Minecraft's soundtrack sans its unique digital effects weaved into it's more traditional stuff), but it's just a joke of a news submission, is all.

Embusque4783d ago (Edited 4783d ago )

Yeah, I am a fan, but that does not make the information any less valuable. It has been stated that he is in talks with C418 about a potential partnership, and though unconfirmed, this is significant at the least.

It was listed as a rumor for a reason.

ButterBomb4783d ago

I would say it is the musician or a VERY close friend of the musician. Been a while since I've seen such a poor attempt at using N4G as a shameless self promotion.

Pretty "meh" if you ask me. I can see this as news if it was actually accepted as a Minecraft soundtrack but this just links to SoundCloud where every "wannabe" musician posts their stuff.

Embusque4783d ago

Well, we've never met personally. But hearing all this makes me feel bad about posting it. It's my first submission, and I guess I don't have the hang of it yet. Is there a way to delete submissions?

distorted_reality4783d ago

Lol wow.

I was expecting epic minecraft music, not some rand "here's my music.................oh, it could work in minecraft".

Bad shameless self promotion is bad.

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 Name44d ago

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

Inverno44d 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?

LucasRuinedChildhood44d ago (Edited 44d 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.

Inverno44d 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.

AuraAbjure44d 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_Sakai65d ago (Edited 65d 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.”

OtterX64d 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.
