Minecraft Xbox 360 is "gimped", says FortressCraft dev

OXM UK: "What's GOOD about it?"

dirigiblebill4365d ago (Edited 4365d ago )

Duplicate.

Yi-Long4365d ago

... but what if he's right in his criticisms!?

Not saying HIS game is better (Like I said, I don't know), but if Minecraft has so much money and support behind it, couldn't it have had avatar-support, textures, etc etc, instead of being based on the old FREE Minecraft from 14 months ago, allowing less players than a cheap indie game!?

His criticism is that with all the money and support, this release of Minecraft seems underwhelming, meaning it could (and thus should) have been much better.

Is that a wrong criticism, regardless of WHO says it!?

Convas4365d ago (Edited 4365d ago )

Yi-Long, you lost me when you said they based MC360 on "the old FREE Minecraft from 14 months ago".

Shows how much you know.

Yi-Long4365d ago

... I already mentioned how much I know about the games, so I just stated what Sawkins said in the article, and questioned if that is correct or not...

... and if it is, if he is wrong in his criticism.

That's all.

kreate4364d ago

Yi long said he doesnt know and that he never played the game.

Why cant ppl answer or counter argue the main subject at hand instead of dancing around the question.

Hicken4364d ago

The simple truth is that he's right: the game IS gimped for 360, as compared to the PC version. It'd probably be just as gimped, though, on PS3.

Yi-Long has a point, though: if what this dude is saying is right, then it's even MORE gimped than it should be expected to be. I mean, I wouldn't have expected an endless or super-massive map on either system, but if what was said is true, it could have been better than it is.

Yeah, bit of a shame really. He's just making himself look like a plonker.

You don't sling mud without getting yourself muddy.

wallis4365d ago

Actually I agree with him. It IS gimped - one map is the world size limit so that sounds like a pretty gimped version to me.

Admittedly he probably is a bit jealous but it doesn't change the fact that minecraft 360 is nowhere near the full experience because for some weird reason they killed one of MC's strongest pulls - infinite exploration.

Reborn4365d ago

Of course.

Everyone should be aware that coming from PC, to a console, will reduce (change) some things. This sounds rather like a shot at MC though.

jmac534364d ago

The size of the world is in relation to how much RAM you have in your system. So of course 512MB is going to be smaller than a PC with 2GB.

LtSkittles4364d ago

I'm not saying it's not gimped, or it is. I don't care about the world limit right now, and haven't put much time into creating intricate things, so I can understand the cause for concern for those that do.

Akuma-4365d ago

Aren't most games on the xbox 360 gimped?

Prince_Dim-Lu4365d ago

No... You're thinking of the PS3 sloppy second games that come a year later. Or the PS3 version of COD.

it was good enough for them to copy

TheModernKamikaze4365d ago

Said from someone who copied the game.

Regent_of_the_Mask4365d ago

Of course it's gimped. The 360 is a last gen console & it can't even handle minecraft. Invisible walls & smaller worlds are 360 exclusive features. lol

qwertyz4365d ago

really ? so there are actually ps3 exlusives with big worlds ? B.S all consoles only allow for small scripted environments LOL PC FTW!!!!

PunkXIV4364d ago

funny, he didn't mention PS3 anywhere in his comment. looks like you're a little insecure.

chadachada1234364d ago

It could handle Minecraft well-enough if it did what the PC does and save world data onto the harddrive when it doesn't need to be loaded.

Instead, 4J decided for some fucktarded reason to have the entire world (one map) loaded at once.

The 360 isn't at fault, the developers are.

shinoff218341d ago

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 Name41d ago

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

Inverno41d 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?

LucasRuinedChildhood41d ago (Edited 41d 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.

Inverno41d 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.

AuraAbjure41d 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_Sakai61d ago (Edited 61d 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.”

OtterX60d 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.
