That...actually doesn't look too horrible for a first screen.
I wonder what kinds of elements they're putting in; Minecraft got a ton of RPG-ish elements in the end, maybe the same will happen here?

Geekman3498d ago

Good Gosh, you are really craving an RPG. :D

wonderfulmonkeyman3497d ago

With so many shooters being planned for the future, can you really blame me for looking for something else?

Codewow3498d ago

Curious enough to watch news about it, not curious enough to want to buy it though. A minecraft clone is a minecraft clone. There's not much you could do to make your version better without losing out on other aspects of what make Minecraft fun.

EliteGameKnight3497d ago (Edited 3497d ago )

You could argue that nearly all games are clones of one another. Due to the danger of releasing a bad game, game developers stick to industry norms while at times offering a small inconsequential innovation which may or may not be massively accepted. For this reason I am fine with clone games as there is always that possibility that they may offer something entirely new in the process.

Codewow3497d ago (Edited 3497d ago )

Typically games that take from another game don't also look exactly like that other game though.

stragomccloud3498d ago

I'm actually going to buy this just because the minecraft creator refused to put minecraft on Wii U, even though it is literally available everywhere else. For every sale he sees, it's a sign of a potential customer he lost by not releasing a Wii U version of the game.

Skate-AK3498d ago

Maybe he didn't want to because he was already in talks with Microsoft to buy the company. They said he hasn't been working on Minecraft since 2012. If you guys really want it on Wii U, you need to tweet 4J Studios.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3497d ago (Edited 3497d ago )

That never work for Nintendo fans. Nintendo fans are told to tweet to developers for many games such Soul Calibur II HD.

Never would happen.

For all we know this is just several cube primitives assembled in unity3D lol.

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_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.
