Here's Your Very First Look at Minecraft on the PS4 and Vita

Push Square, via Twitter: "Minecraft port house 4J Studios is known for being a little sneaky with its Twitter account, and the Scotland-based outfit has engaged in a spot of tomfoolery today. Posting about an Xbox Live Arcade sale featuring Perfect Dark – which it also worked on – the company wrote that it now has a “reason” to open a bottle of stashed rum, which it included a picture of. However, look closely at the photograph and you’ll get a first glimpse at both the PlayStation 4 and Vita versions of Mojang’s seminal construction game."

Looks kinda pixalated... >.>

Anywho, glad to see it coming along!

ZodTheRipper3660d ago

It's about time they release the PS4 version. I don't understand why Mojang doesn't hire more people, they make tons of cash every month?!

Sethry1013660d ago

Zod because then they would actually have to split the cash up a bit, cant do that! :P

I think he meant the AA was low.

XisThatKid3660d ago (Edited 3660d ago )

think he was joking

<joke>==whoosh===

Old_Prodigy3660d ago

@zod18 4jstudios is developing the PS4 version, so Mojang expanding their employee base wouldn't help speed up development.

^_^ everyone is so clever today

MazzingerZ3659d ago (Edited 3659d ago )

Never played it, pricing on consoles seems expensive, my kids play it on PC and it looks fun for their age as they can build up stuff and so on but nothing for me, I like rather deeper gaming experiences...if I want to contribute to someone making money I rather put it on studios like Bungie or ND, their games leaves some kind of memories that stays with you through the years instead of someone making money from the same stuff. Minecraft seems to be a one-time hit and good for him.

Maybe I'm just old :-) I like the games that have a start and an end, like when I watched Anime on TV when I was a kid, characters grew up, died, etc Anime had character development and the story an end rather that keep going forever.

LOL, Minecraft is supposed to be pixelated, as it is intentional. 1080p and 60fps on next gen consoles will not make a difference.

Am-No-Hero3660d ago

Thats right lol

its all about pixels

TitanUp3660d ago

LordMe was probably joking, i havent played anything of minecraft on any system and i know its supposed to look like that lol.

Whore_Mouth3660d ago

It adds more area to explore and mine.

What did you expect? Uncharted level graphics for a Minecraft game?

Hellsvacancy3660d ago

Sarcasm dude, you don't have to be a genius to know when one is being sarcastic

I assume he is anyway

randomass1713660d ago

I think he was kiddin' bro.

A man accidentally gave you a downvote but made up for it with a "Funny" bubble. A man apologizes

Lord_Sloth3659d ago

You get bubbles just for being faceless.

Already bought the game on Pc, Ps3, and 360 I don't want to go for a 4th time. Hopefully they have a free upgrade to ps3-ps4

mixelon3660d ago

I have it on PC, android, ios, 360 and PS3.. And i'm probably going to get it on vita and PS4 too - providing the ps4 version takes advantage of the better spec and isn't just a port of the previous gen version. :)

wannabe gamer3659d ago

how could it take advantage of better specs when it requires so little to run it at max potential already. if the versions already out there do not perform that well then id say something is very wrong.

mixelon3659d ago

@wannabe - MC needs RAM and storage.. Only the PC version for example has limitless world sizes and a long draw distance. The new console versions need to be closer to the PC version than the ps3 version.

Also, the fps on PS360 is awful in 4-way split screen.

vongruetz3660d ago

Is this confirmation that the Vita port is going to be a port of the console version and not a port of Minecraft PE? I hope so.

WeAreLegion3660d ago

It will be. Though I think I'd prefer Pocket Edition right now. They're working on much bigger worlds and the cart rails act like actual cart rails on Pocket Edition.

dodgemoose3660d ago (Edited 3660d ago )

PE controls are awful in my opinion. Will much prefer it with the Vita's physical button layout.

Ninjatogo3660d ago

They confirmed it would be the console version months ago.

randomass1713660d ago

At this point I think any game on both PS3 and Vita are straight up ports of each other.

WeAreLegion3660d ago

Can't wait. I hope the PS4 version looks better than the PS3 version. They're using the same code for all consoles, but I hope they improved the draw distance at least.

If you need to see proof that they're using the same code, just look it up on their Twitter account. I'm on a phone here. Lol.

Mikefizzled3660d ago

Comparing 360 to the Xbox One edition announce trailer it looks a lot crisper and definitely improved draw distance. Obviously thats not the response you asked for but I hope its helpful.

Mikefizzled3660d ago

I do like how its mostly nothing to do with Minecraft. And the fact that they ported a bunch of other games before Minecraft. Like Perfect Dark.

shinoff218336d 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.

Tomb Raider 1

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 Name36d 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.”

OtterX55d 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.
