Minecraft at E3: Super Duper Graphics, cross-platform play and more

This Summer, we’re bringing you a whole new bunch of ways to play Minecraft!

freshslicepizza2509d ago (Edited 2509d ago )

They show Switch, Xbox One, Windows laptop, Android, so is Sony still holding out because I don't see a PS4 in that video?

letsa_go2509d ago

They don't exactly say...but the video description says "This means you can play Minecraft on any device, whenever and wherever you’d like!" I'd imagine "any" includes PS4?

freshslicepizza2509d ago

I will believe it when I see it because in that video you can clearly see which platforms it will support, can you show me the PS4 in that video?

OMGitzThatGuy2509d ago

On Twitter a dev says they want to work it out with Sony.

freshslicepizza2509d ago

Don't expect a reply anytime soon.

The 10th Rider2509d ago

It does look to be the case that PS4 is not included as of now. Even articles I can find that list available platforms don't list PS4 for crossplay.

Playstation REFUSED

There you have it, Sony finally admitted what we all knew all along that when push came to shove they won't do crossplay with other consoles. And before anyone says it doesn't make much sense for Sony being the leader in sales may I remind you all how much the game sold on the PC? This is a disagrace to their fans by blocking them from playing what is likely the best game to showcase crossplay with millions of other gamers.

People are not going to run out and buy an Xbox One so they can play Minecraft so what is Sony's real problem other than pride at this point? First they said the reason they created the PS4 Pro was to curb gamers from going to the PC and now they want to curb crossplay in fear they might like other networks?

slavish02509d ago

Sony doesnt support cross play outside of pc anymore. They use to though

The 10th Rider2509d ago

@moldybread,

The sad thing is if Sony were the ones pushing it and Microsoft refused, it'd be at the top of the front page all day. No video game company is perfect. A game like Minecraft really should have crossplay, there's not a single good excuse to refuse it.

Yea it's real unfortunate, Sony still doesn't seem to want to play ball. I figured of all the games this would be the one.

freshslicepizza2509d ago

I don't know how anyone can suggest it's not Sony by now who are the holdouts on crossplay games with other consoles. If Nintendo is onboard there is no reason at all Sony shouldn't be.

DaGreatOne2509d ago

I usually disagree with a lot of things you say lol. But on this issue at least I'm right along with you. I pulled this from Engadget article on the matter:

"It's not for lack of wanting to or effort on our part," senior global communications manager Aubrey Norris says. "We are in discussions with our partners right now. We want PlayStation and we invite Sony to bring PlayStation players onto Bedrock, but we can't get any further into -- these are confidential discussions."

Its frustrating somewhat, I feel like this would do more good than harm but yeah still no dice.

BadElf2509d ago

I don't know what it is with Sony in that regard. Punks

Ulf2509d ago (Edited 2509d ago )

Obviously Sony is holding out. Every other platform has clearly agreed to do cross-platform play -- it's obviously not Microsoft holding the PS4 version up.

Segata2509d ago

In a tweet from mojang. Sony refused. Nintendo accepted.

Much like after the success of the PS2 Sony has clearly gotten a big head anytime its Nintendo who is down for something like this and Sony isn't. lol They used to be for it.

shinoff218343d 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.

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.

Inverno43d 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.
