'Minecraft' developer to try and get updates out to all consoles at same time

XMNR: Minecraft is expanding its world building operations to the PS4, PS3, PS Vita and Xbox One this fall and 4J Studios, the current developer for the Xbox 360 port, will be in charge of releasing updates to each. The studio assured fans of the game that its goal is to release updates to all platforms at the same time.

I think what they should be working on is trying to get the newest PC update out roughly the same week/month.

Oh and adding some new stuff themselfs would be nice. Maybe some new skins for the villagers since they look ugly as hell, new ores to make weapons out of, new creations like a mini lift.

Queasy3830d ago

The PC version is two or three releases ahead and being developed solely by Mojang. 4J Studios is handling the console port while adding console specific features. It's unlikely the console version will ever be on the same schedule as PC as a result.

Yeah I know they are separate thats my point, the PC team only has Jeb and a few others working with him but with 4H Studios you have a bigger team. Surely they can catch up

I mean it takes Jeb on the PC a long time with all the snap shots he does so the final version isn't full of bugs. I just can't believe they haven't caught up yet

LtSkittles3830d ago

They haven't caught up, because the PC version has been farther ahead of the 360 version by almost a year. Jeb, is also working on Pocket edition. 4J also has had to rewrite the game so it can run on the 360.

I just want mods to come to the PS4 and Xbox One versions, because I know Vita getting that is a dream lol (I jst hope Vita's version isn't the crap mobile version.....)

Queasy3830d ago

The PS Vita is going to be interesting. The limiting factor for mobile devices is the memory. However, the Vita has 512mb of system memory and another 128mb of VRAM. That suggests it should at least be on par with the Xbox 360 version.

Soldierone3830d ago

If it is, I'll gladly buy it and the Ps4 version. If it has any cross compatibility with PS4 I'll be in heaven.

LtSkittles3830d ago

4J studios is working on all versions, so it's likely the Vita version isn't going to be the Pocket Edition.

Looks like we'll see Minecraft on the VITA before Terraria which is a kicker for those who've been waiting for their 2D mining fix!?

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 Name42d ago

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

Inverno42d 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?

LucasRuinedChildhood42d ago (Edited 42d 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.

Inverno42d 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.

AuraAbjure42d 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_Sakai62d ago (Edited 62d 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.”

OtterX61d 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.
