all i want to know is... will it be like the PC version of the game where i can play hunger games nd all other shit that is created..

i have never played Minecraft but from the videos i watched that looked fun lol

ramiuk13571d ago

expect it to be same as console

ShinMaster3571d ago

So the player limit issue thing is only at launch?

TheRedButterfly3571d ago

@ShinMaster

Yes. It's already in the works for a future update.

Soldierone3571d ago

You can create seeds, and somewhat servers for friends, but that's it. You can't go as in depth due to lack of map size and player count.

Also mods don't work on consoles, so that will take away a lot too.

DoomeDx3571d ago

Minecraft without an infinite world shouldn't be called minecraft IMO..

dcj05243571d ago

They should add mods. Worked for unreal tournament on ps3.

LAWSON723571d ago

This will never happen, sadly, the servers in MC on PC are very creative and will never be available on consoles.

SpideySpeakz3571d ago (Edited 3571d ago )

Never. HG servers need plugins, serverside mod clients, which consoles won't allow. Thousands of players can be on these servers, so with the player limit on consoles, its impossible.
The best minecraft experience is on PC, get it on PC.

Fans aren't happy? Everyone reacting to it seems to be just fine with only 8 players for now. They'll increase the player count after launch.

DoomeDx3571d ago

Says who? Games pretty much never increase player counts after launch :p

WeAreLegion3571d ago

Says the freaking producer of the game!

"#minecraftxbox1 will be 8 player at release but we will continue working to allow more players in a future update!"

Does no one actually read these articles?

I've never filled up a room with 8 so I'm fine.

Soldierone3571d ago

It's like they hired some "PC Elitists" to make the dang game. I can have a 4 year old computer run Minecraft just fine on out dated processors etc....

New consoles with more power? Nah, we can't do that.... can't even come close actually.... cus you know.... it's consoles.....

Give me a break. They are slowly destroying the game for me.

USA0073570d ago

Technically even 360 can have infinite worlds, the draw distance wouldn't be good though. 4j are just being lazy and using the same code they made for last gen consoles. Basically in console versions all the chunks load, and never unload, while PC is constantly loading and unloading the chunks around you as you move.

I think 36 times larger will be enough for me, but even larger would be nice

Soldierone3570d ago

They need to stop being lazy. Even mobile versions get unlimited worlds now.... And we only pay 6 dollars for that!

An extra 15 dollars (TWICE for most people, and unless it's cross buy then a 3rd time for Vita) and they can't even keep up with the mobile one?

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 Name38d ago

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

Inverno38d 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?

LucasRuinedChildhood38d ago (Edited 38d 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.

Inverno37d 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.

AuraAbjure37d 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_Sakai58d ago (Edited 58d 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.”

OtterX57d 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.
