Mojang's Scrolls in Open-Beta

"Scrolls is a battle game that puts two players against each other using heroes and spells from a virtual deck of cards.

The game isn’t fully “feature-complete” but there are many features available, The store is available where you can purchase new cards via in-game earned currency or real-money currency, though it is promised that one will NEVER need to purchase real-money currency in order to stay competitive, you can trade cards and there are 25 “trials” so you can test your strategy before heading out to face against fellow scrollers." -GamersBliss.com

Never heard of it but it sounds pretty neat :)

Mohang will take over the world

Why do they keep saying open beta if you have to pay to get in?

MadLad4752d ago

"Open" meaning to the general public. Anyone who is willing to pay has access. Not just a selected group.

Gh05t4752d ago (Edited 4752d ago )

"Not just a selected group." The selected group is those willing to pay for the game.

Any campaign for a buy this game and receive beta access is a closed beta in my book. Hence if its "Open" why can I not play it... Oh that's right its "Closed" to people who aren't part of the buy this game get beta access.

And if its closed to anyone its not open.

I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of money Minecraft makes these days is from DLC, so going f2p would make a lot of sense. But given how cheap the game actually is ($30 for consoles/PC and $7 on mobile) I don't think it would make that much of diference.

VenomUK441d ago (Edited 441d ago )

If 50% of all kids buy just one copy of this game (made up number but not unrealistic as the game has become almost a rites of passage) then Microsoft is doing great by being paid for each copy.

StoneTitan441d ago

it would actually make no sense to go f2p.
If you can charge something for the basegame and people pay for it (obviously they are still doing it) then going f2p would be idiotic.

Vits440d ago

Puting a entry price on anything also reduces it potential player base and therefore its paying costumer for DLC. That mind you likely make the bulk of Minecraft revenue. That is basic business since at least a decade, so I would get in with the times.

Funny how they and their parent company have different views on subscription-based delivery.

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.

OtterX626d ago

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.

OtterX626d ago

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. :\
