The future of Minecraft’s development

Minecraft writes: "Right now, we’re also working on bringing a native version of Minecraft to the PlayStation®5 – because Minecraft is better when friends can play together on whichever device they want. Over the coming year, we’ll also be exploring ways to improve Minecraft’s multiplayer experience and make it easier to find and connect with friends."

Remains to be seen if they manage to give us more content

I thought after they got bought by MS it would have been update after update with all the resources behind them. It makes you wonder if that rumour a while back about be careful with content is true.

There’s so many things they could do but they just don’t bother

It truly makes me wonder just wtf they even do considering the pathetic updates that come out compared to what some teenage modder can probably knock out in a week. And then they have the audacity to be "engaging the fanbase" by making them vote to keep certain content and the rest just go away into oblivion. Like, why? Why not just release everything? But it seems Minecraft fans just stupidly love it for some reason.

This just lets me know that you know nothing about anything. Modders don't have to worry about licensing or corporate and international rules and regulations. Its why they can inject nudity and gore into E10+, E, and even EC rated games.

So long as the corpos don't know a modder is using copyrighted works they won't go after them. The reason they don't know is because they don't have to go through legal channels to do such things. It's precisely why all the company's use AI tools to analyze the video and audio tracks looking for copyrighted work on social media. Because on social media we don't have to play by the rules either but the company's do and in turn they can cut you off for breaking laws that you didn't know existed and it is incredibly clear that you don't know they exist. That is why official content in Minecraft is so tame and rolls out very slowly.

The reason why they are getting rid of some content is because they have to pay to keep some of it around, particularly anything made that contains the likeness or namesake of another entities IP.

If they are getting rid of unlicensed world packs made in-house without relying on anyone's IP, then Mojang, Xbox, and MS are just being lazy with hosting content.

@VariantAEC That's not what I'm talking about. And the stuff that's being voted off is not licensed stuff. It takes them a whole year to come out with a new biome and they show off a frog or some other dumb thing.

Almost everything they've done since they were aquired has either been cancelled, delayed or shut down. Every update takes them longer than it should and they delay it even tho they give themselves plenty of time. Next gen update never happened, every spinoff they abandon. Bedrock is a consistent mess, and modding is essentially stuck behind a pay wall. I'm keeping an eye on whatever 4J is doing, and hope they manage to steal some of MC's thunder.

It would be great if the native PS5 version has PSVR2 support.

I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.

Lionsguard71d ago

This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.

Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol

CrimsonWing6971d ago

Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.
