The ability to play splitscreen amuses me.

Of course it is. Microsoft calls Titanfall an exclusive.

Real talk though, splitscreen has been a huge bonding thing for parents and their kids. That's one big reason why it has taken the fuck off in popularity on consoles despite not being as full featured as the PC ver.

Come on, guys. A limitation stemming from a lack of memory won't continue on platforms that have 16× the amount. Surely, they're referring to the controls and featureset.
Unless they're stopping work on the 360 version(which I don't think they will), I don't see whats misleading about it.
I've run a Minecraft server on the PC for almost 2 years that me, my son, and roughly 30 friends/relatives play on. It's definitely a party type of game, we set up a voice chat server and 1 or 2 nights a week there are usually around 20 of us on for a few hours building and talking and occasionally griefing each other, lol.

Console gimped Minecraft might actually be a good fit for vita.
I hope that version isnt more stripped down.

This is obvious and what I've assumed since they announced it. Hence PS4 version of Minecraft is releasing along with the PS Vita and PS3 version, while the next Gen version for Xbox One isn't launch, since they actually need to make a new version. PS4 will be updated after the Xbox One version is made, most likely.
PS4 probably doesn't have enough RAM to run the next Gen version, while Xbox One does. Xbox One has 8GBS AND 32 MBs. That's 8,224 MBs of RAM while the PS4 only has 8GBs of RAM. That's only 8,192 MBs of RAM.
8,224 MBs > 8,192 MBs. No wonder the Xbox One version is unlimited worlds and new and improved. Xbox One has more RAM. Those 32 MBs of RAM matter.

Pretty good stuff. Some people don't have that technical know-how and can string along with splitscreen. Or I guess if your children are REALLY young and can't get around computers too well.
It's really the LEGO of the digital age.
Agreed. Everybody jump off the jump to conclusion mats.
Count on it...

The title implies that the only the PS4 version is identical to the Xbox 360 version. While the tweet from 4J studios says that all versions (PS4, X1) will be content wise similar to atleast the Xbox 360 TU 13 version.
That would make a lot more sense. I really would like a clarification on that. I am all in if it has the same feature set but unlimited worlds.

And no one used the words "console launch exclusive" more than Sony did during their Gamescom conference. Let's not pretend Microsoft is the only one doing it.

Aww, bummer. I was hoping for a more comprehensive version.
Ok, I gotcha. Still wouldn't say its misleading, cuz its entirely true, but there is more news to share than just that.
Another one Sony used was "console exclusive DLC." Bugged the hell out of me.

Why? Are they to stupid to use 8 GB of DDR5 ram?
That would be the shit.
It's good to get an expert in here to explain these kinds of things. Thank you, sir.

Don't make me bring up the Transistors! There are 5 billion of them! That probably helps make Minecraft run silky smooth.

Kind of a downer considering the Xbox One will get a "new" version, but I'm actually more interested in playing it on Vita anyway.

Sounds like a quick port to make it out for launch, the X1 version isn't ready yet so perhaps PS4 could get that version down the line.

Useless. Not buying then.
Especially not on the Vita (which is the one I wanted).
Seriously, no effort going on in these ports...

it won't - they'll all share the same code base.
You know why.
It's also coming to PS3 and PS Vita so yes.

Wait, why? I mean the limits are related to the low memory of this gen consoles, or that is how I imagine it.. so this makes no sense to me.

I thought it was already confirmed that the Xbox One version would have certain benefits (larger worlds etc)? I don't care anyway since I can have the "full experience" on my PC. I'm kinda worried about the Vita version now though.
As others have said, I'm pretty certain they're talking in terms of which version of Minecraft we're getting, not the size/limit of the world. Minecraft version number is an important detail, as every update brings with it major changes to what is included in the world and what is possible to build.
World size is probably little more than setting a variable in regards to how much world to generate.

Microsoft made millions from the timed exclusivity.
I'm sure they don't give a shit at this point.
Now I freely admit that I am a Xbox fan boy but this had me laughing.
Also I think they meant that it would have the same layout for GUI and all the same "Features" but it will have a large world just like the Xbox one. I could not imagine them limiting the game down to the 360 scale.
"Disappointing" is putting it lightly. I think it's an okay time waster for kids or casual players, but for anybody serious about the game it's a mere shell of what you're actually supposed to be experiencing.
I've played the android version and the main thing that sucks to me were those touchscreen controls. Vita having buttons should make it a lot better.
