"The underlying game code will be the same version across all consoles"

Minecraft is pretty much the same version on any platform.
PC, Smart phone, console.
It's not the most graphically demanding game.
A dual core XP can run it.

Did anyone actually tough it was going to be different?
Has anyone of you played Minecraft before?

You could potentially make bigger worlds, but unless they release Minecraft 2 with better graphics, it won't be graphically superior. Is what I mean.

@UltimateMaster

I have played it for many tens of hours on my Xbox360. I've also been keeping up with how it will be different on the Xbox One & PS4. Judging by your comment, I find it hard to believe that "YOU" have ever played it, or even regarded it with anything more than a cursory glance.

@eonjay

Yes, they say that in a few articles, right before they say "but the multiplayer will be different..."

Of course the underlying code is the same. This is minecraft. It's so brilliantly simple that there will never be any need to alter the underlying code. Doesn't mean all versions are identical.

"The underlying game code will be the same version across all consoles, so at least Xbox 360's TU13 equivalent."

from the link you cant open,, its just posted from twitter

christ... this place is impossible.

Same article, as I posted and quoted from above... shortly after your quoted text...

"The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Minecraft will support larger worlds and more multiplayer features but to what extent has yet to be revealed."

THEY WILL NOT BE THE SAME!

"underlying code" is just that... UNDERLYING CODE!

The title of this article LITERALLY SAYS, AND I QUOTE:

"Minecraft PS4 Edition Same as Xbox 360"

IF THATS THE CASE, THEN THIS SENTANCE (I REPEAT)

"The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Minecraft will support larger worlds and more multiplayer features but to what extent has yet to be revealed."

IS A DIRECT CONTRADICTION! XBOX 360 DOES NOT FEATURE INFINITE WORLDS OR THE OFT-ELUDED TO "OTHER MP FEATURES".

SO WHICH IS IT? EXPLAIN THAT! OR YOU CAN SIMPLY CONTINUE TO INTERPRET THIS AS AN ATTACK ON YOUR MANHOOD.

FANBOYS! I'm getting a PS4 and an XB1, both day 1 editions, so try your hardest (I know, its impossible) to see this as an impartial inquiry into conflicting facts from a person who is genuinely interested in minecraft.

EVERYTHING DOESNT HAVE TO BE A FANBOY PISSING CONTEXT, YOU VS. THE WORLD!

please just think.... think.... think about this contradiction and roll it around in your head before you respond. I'm actually interested to see if anyone else understands where I'm coming from... I will not think less of the PS4 if it does happen to have an inferior version of Minecraft (hell, I'm not even sure I should have used the word "inferior" for fear of inciting outrage among PS4 buyers.)

This game looks like crap on every platform already so I wouldn't even consider buying it on the ps4.

Minecraft is old news.

Oh Minecraft can have HD textures, but it would crash even next-gen consoles if the map was a respectable size. I tried using some really high resolution textures once and crashed my PC that's not far off from next-gen specs. Minecraft can be more physically demanding than people realize and that's why it looks the way it does.

Guys, it's Minecraft. If they made it the least optimized port on the planet, it would still run fine.
