Feeling Blue – Cobalt (Alpha) Released

DIYGamer: It’s been a long time coming, but Oxeye Game Studio have finally released their bouncing blue robot baby into the wild. Cobalt is an interesting-looking platform shooter (with singleplayer, co-op and competitive modes) published under the banner of developer-turned-indie-publish er Mojang. They’re using the same business model as Minecraft, and even have the same pricing structure; 10 euros gets you (currently windows-only) alpha access now and to all future updates, until the game hits beta and rises to 15 euros. It’s planned to be a full 20 at launch. Launch trailer and some gameplay footage after the break.

so i assume PSVR2 is not going to take its place. That's a shame as I do think it could benefit from the VR2 improved fidelity and controls.

Well, they did just announce a native PS5 version the other day. Maybe there's hope, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Play No Man Sky for open world experience on PSVR2

Never was a Minecraft fan, so no more support isn’t a big deal for me.

What I would like for Xbox and Bethesda to do is update Skyrim VR to be playable on the PSVR2. That’s the only game I want out of the Xbox catalog.

I wasn't a Minecraft fan until VR. It heightened the experience for me, but I prefer to use texture packs to improve the look a little bit.

I'm slightly bummed about the drop of PSVR support bc I was starting co-op w my daughter w this. Her on the PSVR Minecraft, and myself on the PC version w my Quest 2. :\

Minecraft Players Create Anti-Mojang Propaganda to End “Lazy” Mob Vote

The Minecraft community are calling for a Mob Vote boycott, labelling it "lazy" and even creating anti-Mojang propaganda to rally players.

Jin_Sakai349d ago

“One user explained the community’s sentiment perfectly, sharing how “the fact that they’re a year off and add like, two mobs, a few blocks, and some bug fixes is absurd. I’ve seen modders do that s**t in WEEKS. and then… they open a mob vote as if they can’t just add all three.”

They can’t even get a current gen version out the door 3 years in. Mojang is a joke anymore.

-Foxtrot349d ago

I'm really happy people are actually banding together on this and giving the middle finger to Mojang finally, it's nice to see fans stop being blind and ask for more.

Minecraft is the game that could have went above and beyond after Microsoft bought them years back but they just haven't done anything. It feels like they've gotten lazier than what they were before being bought..

Updates take months to come out and when they do they are barebones compared to what they could have been and they want to rub salt in the wound still by making people choose between things to add.

They kept relying on mods, like if someone says "I feel Minecraft should have X, Y and Z" it will be "Well there's a mod for that, go and download it instead"

The game doesn't even have basic home decorations like chairs, tables, counters, sinks, more light sources, wallpaper, showers, toilers, cupboards, TVs, alternatives for the Jukebox, double beds without putting two singles together and so on.

What happens when you ask for something as simple as chairs? Die hard fanboys...

"The game is supposed to be about creativity, so use a Stair block as a chair and if you want a table put a fence pole down and put a pressure plate on top"

Honestly...it's crazy, that make shift shit is good at the START of the game when you have nothing but later on you want to start aiming for better things to make and create.

They are owned by MS who don’t know what the difference between good and bad moves , good to bad games even. The one area MS is good at is monetizing games.

Mojang keeps posting Minecraft pixel-style concept games, and I want it

WindowsCentral writes: "The social team at Mojang has started posting pixel art for imaginary Minecraft games lately. Their fun takes on alternative-universe games where Minecraft existed as a pixel-style side-scroller on the NES or a top-down RPG on the Game Boy. Kudos to the artists, because increasingly I find myself actually wanting these games."
