ofcourse the vita can handle the 360 version anyone who thinks that the mincraft for vita will be just a port of pocket edition is just a hater

Beetey3810d ago

Actually, it wouldn't have surprised me at all if the Vita had got the pocket edition. While yes, it is very capable of handling the 360 version, that doesn't mean it will get it. The Vita has got the shaft way to many times for me to have any kind of expectations regarding these things.

Anyway, this is wonderful news. Hopefully we will get a release date soon.

The vita's a monster of a handheld.

GentlemenRUs3810d ago

Was hoping for the PC coded one but I guess this will have to do.

mixelon3810d ago

The pc version will never be finished. (Intentionally) The recent 1.7 update changed half the code, the way biomes are generated etc... If theyd been working on porting the earlier code theyd have had to change things on a constant basis.

I cant blame them for not making the consoles the same as the pc version - itd be a ridiculously difficult job going after a moving target like that.

I hope a lot of the pc stuff continues to trickle down to the console versions though.

Jurat3810d ago

I spend more time with Minecraft 360 than I do with the PC version these days. It’s had some major overhauls during the past 12 months. It’ll always be one step behind PC, but for me the controller/couch setup works so much better.
Can't wait to experience it on Vita

mixelon3810d ago

Have you tried xpadder? Its pretty easy to get PC MC running with an xbox360 controller.

The biomes are muuch nicer in pc 1.7 - i hope that makes it over to the console versions at some point.

Jurat3810d ago

tbh, I haven't actually tried 1.7 yet.
I do have a gaming rig plugged into my living room TV, but the wireless keyboard/mouse combo isn’t very comfortable. I’d need to buy a wired controller, right?

Baylex3810d ago

@Jurat Once you have a 360 wired controller you'll never want to play another game with mouse and keyboard again (not talking about multiplayers);)

mixelon3810d ago

Jurat - You can get usb receivers for the normal wireless remotes. Not sure if MS still makes them but third parties do - sometimes claiming they're official. I got one of those and it works perfectly - build quality is crap though, and i had to manually install the drivers rather than use the installer on the disc it came with.

Depends if you already have 360 remotes around as to what's best to get. :)

my son has been waiting for this to come to the ps3 for i dont know how long now? It sucks that he's had to wait this long, but in the end it will all be worth it. ps3 gamesharing and no online monthly fee so both my kids get a copy and can play with each other, they are only 10 months apart

LtSkittles3810d ago

4J Studios has said that the PS3 version will be the first to go into testing.

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.

Cacabunga43d ago

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2

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 Name43d ago

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

Inverno43d 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?

LucasRuinedChildhood43d ago (Edited 43d 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_Sakai63d ago (Edited 63d 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.”

OtterX62d 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.
