So they're not gonna take advantage of the 16x more RAM the PS4 has over the 360, in order to let it have larger worlds? That sounds crazy. Or maybe that's an easy thing to change (it should be if their engine is decent) and it's just that the rest of the game will be the same.

You can create a private server and play locally on LAN Network.
But if you mean Split screen, not yet
this isnt about world size, its about using the same game code base, since its ported and not shitty java, they havent even mentioned world size and everyone is shitting the bed

Thats what I meant, Thats all my cousins play when they come over. The next gen versions better have it.

Ok assuming world size is greatly expanded or infinite/near infinite I could be interested. Otherwise, forget about it.
Seems weird to even have to say the underlying code would be the same for all console versions. Why on earth wouldn't it be?

You get Minecraft, we get GTAV. fair isn't it? oh wait !
This is GAF. 99% of the people have no idea of hat they're talking about, the ones that do get drowned by the stupidity.

Nothing! I said nothing!
Poor PS4 stuck with a version that's only sold about 10m copies. Is there a support group?

Whew! I was worried that somehow the Xbox One edition wasn't going to be exclusive to the Xbox One. Thank goodness that the PS4 edition isn't exclusive to the PS4, either.
What the fuck did I just type?

it'll still sell a ton of copies.
disappointing to hear though
Don't Get the PC version. And I can say this without lying and not be wrong.
It's better. Much Better, always will be.

your question was
my answer was that they were adding stuff to it, that's why it wont be available at launch.

This is really unnecessary.
What they're saying is that it will be the same versions across the board. Whatever they added to the last 360 update (Have they added The End yet?) will be in the other versions. I wouldn't take this to mean that world/"server" sizes would be limited on the PS4, just that the world features are the same.
It probably is but the game doesn't require much so why get a watered down copy?
It's like making tea but settling for just hot water. You still get warm and fuzzy in your belly but it just ain't the same.

Yeah that was my question, If the console versions are all the same then Xbox one edition should be ready for launch just like PS4 one.
Another question: If they're adding stuff to Xbox version, why in article they're saying that all versions are the same?

They should clarify a little bit since the better HW should yield better results.
I haven't heard any of my 360 friends who own Minecraft complain about the size of the world but I would hope that a next gen version would have a little more freedom thanks to the HW.

4J aren't lazy. Unless you're being sarcastic. It's probably more a funding or scheduling issue.
yes i saw that, but other posters are quoting other sources that claim the xbox one version is going to have larger worlds than the 360 version.

Good possibilities on mash up packs for the PS versions. Uncharted, Killzone etc etc

So what exactly is in TU13? I olay the PC version, so it has all kinds of shit. What is the comparison?

That article is terrible and isn't saying shit. It doesn't even confirm that PS4 won't get unlimited worlds.
What 4J actually said is that the "underlying code base is the same across all consoles". That would mean that 360 and Xbone versions are exactly the same as well. What they're actually saying is that PS4 version will launch with the same title update as 360, nothing about the world size.

I can't believe it won't have a bigger world size. Even it's its not infinite, it should be 2x or 4x the size of the 360 version. If they can do that, I'm in. Using the touchpad or the Vita as a touchscreen controller would seal it.
Someone needs to tweet 4J and ask specifically about world size.

It was a fantastic port that I enjoyed more than the PC versions at times. Way better optimized.

So all versions the same? What's the issue exactly? No one's getting shortchanged... which is especially good news for Vita owners.
Full Minecraft on the go has the potential to be huge. Bundle that shit, Sony, bundle it like there's no tomorrow!

i'll never understand the appeal of minecraft.
Xbox one and PS4 versions can have larger worlds and still have the same code base.

Title should include its the same for Xbone and Vita. Makes it seem like PS4 is like 360 while others are upgraded.
But they just said they are aren't adding stuff...

Is this still meant to be a PS4 launch title on November 15th? Mojang said they'd talk more about the details of the PlayStation versions of the game, but have not done so yet. Did THEY ever confirm it was a launch game? I know many other sites, like Kotaku did.
Edit- Just looked it up. MINECON 2013 is November 2nd and 3rd in Orlando, Florida. That's just about a week and a half before the PS4 launches in North America. I wonder if they'll wait until then to show it off. They don't have to show off TOO much since we've Minecraft's been around for quite some time now.
Also, I am REALLY hoping for it to be Cross-Buy and Cross-Play. That way I can do a LAN party between my PS3/PS4. My Vita wouldn't be able join into that LAN party, as it would share the same PSN ID as my PS4 (my PS3 would be using my alternate account that I created for Portal 2 and Steam). I assume you can't be logged in to multiple versions of the game at the same time with the same PSN ID.

Until I hear otherwise, I'm going to assume in the very least the Xbox One version will have larger worlds. Why? Because their own teaser trailer literally says "Bigger Worlds".

So, assuming the only thing that's different between the versions is the world size, that tweet makes sense. PS3, 360 and Vita are probably the same as what's on the 360 today. While the XB1 (and likely PS4) have the same features but with larger world sizes.

Shame, they could have improved graphics a lot.
It's Minecraft...
So what are the enhancements aside from bigger worlds?
Where was that mentioned?
- Kinect?

I can play Spelunky in cross-play with both my PS3 and Vita logged in the same account. There shouldn't be a problem.

Yep. I've no idea why people are making this into a big deal, all they're saying is that they're not porting it from scratch. I highly doubt the limited worlds are hard coded into the engine, they're probably determined by a simple variable.

Is Minecraft worth getting into?
I don't play it, but if you are creative person then you should give it a try.
You can do many interesting things there. Just go watch watch some videos like recreation of places or space ships, contraptions and other crazy stuff like that.
