Rewriting it in another language wouldn't give you any benefits, and if Minecraft was written in C/C++ from the start, then we'd never have the mods we do now.

Could it be easier to make mods? Sure. But throwing out all the work and starting from scratch for no reason is silly.

Minecraft on Xbox One, PS4, and PS Vita soon!

 

Xbox One

 

  • Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will be released on Xbox Live Marketplace in August. It brings significantly bigger worlds and a greater draw distance than Xbox 360 Edition.
  • It will include all the features from the most recent Xbox 360 title update.
  • Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will cost $19.99.
  • If you?ve bought Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition from Xbox Live Marketplace, or played online with the disc version, you will be able to upgrade to Xbox One Edition for $4.99.
  • You will be able to upgrade for a minimum of a year after the release date.
  • Players with Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition saves will be able to import their worlds to Xbox One. Unfortunately, you won?t be able to transfer saves from Xbox One to Xbox 360. We can make worlds bigger without too much stress, but shrinking them causes all kinds of problems.
  • Cross platform play will not be possible between Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
  • Many, but not all, of the DLC skins and texture packs you?ve purchased for Xbox 360 Edition will be available for use in Xbox One Edition. We?d like to say all your DLC would transfer, but some of the items are trapped in licensing deals that are too boring to get into here. We?ll have more on this soon.

 

PS3 + Vita

 

  • Minecraft: Playstation 3 + Vita Edition will be available on the PSN in August.
  • It will include all the features from the most recent Playstation 3 version, including online play on Vita.
  • This means everyone who has bought Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition from PSN will get it on Vita for free. Those fluent in Sony-speak might refer to the deal as ?Cross-buy.?
  • We are working closely with Sony Computer Entertainment to look into ways to enable upgrade from the Blu-ray disc version of Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition to Minecraft: Playstation 3 and Vita. We?ll have more info on this closer to release.
  • Minecraft: Playstation 3 + Vita Edition will cost $19.99.
  • It doesn?t matter if you buy for PS3 or Vita first, you own the game for both platforms.
  • Saves are transferrable between the Playstation 3 and Vita versions of Minecraft. You will be able to craft at home on your Playstation 3, then continue on the bus/toilet with your Playstation Vita.
  • All of the DLC you?ve purchased for Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition will work on Playstation 3 + Vita Edition.

 

PS4

 

  • Minecraft: Playstation 4 Edition will be released on the PSN in August. It brings significantly bigger worlds and a greater draw distance than Playstation 3 + Vita Edition.
  • It will include all the features from the most recent Playstation 3 version.
  • Minecraft: Playstation 4 Edition will cost $19.99.
  • If you?ve bought Playstation 3 Edition from the Playstation Network you will be able to upgrade for $4.99.
  • You will be able to upgrade for a minimum of a year after the release date.
  • We are working closely with Sony Computer Entertainment to look into ways to enable upgrade from the Blu-ray disc version of Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition to Minecraft: Playstation 4 Edition. We?ll have more info on this closer to release.
  • Players with Playstation 3 Edition or Playstation 3 + Vita Edition saves will be able to import their worlds to Playstation 4. Unfortunately, you won?t be able to transfer your saves from Playstation 4 to Playstation 3/Vita. There are technical reasons for this; we can make worlds bigger without too much stress, but shrinking them causes all kinds of problems.
  • Cross-platform play will not be possible between Playstation 3 + Vita Edition and Playstation 4 Edition.
  • Many, but not all, of the DLC skins and texture packs you?ve purchased for Playstation 3 Edition will be available for use in Playstation 4 Edition. We?d like to say all your DLC would transfer but some of the items are trapped in licensing deals that are too boring to get into here. We?ll have more on this soon.

Here?s a bit of good news for Minecraft and Xbox One fans. The immensely popular world-building game is coming to the Xbox One this August, and it?s also getting a few tweaks and upgrades along the way. Due to the limitations of the Xbox 360, created worlds could only go so far, and only certain scenes could be displayed. Experts are saying those things will no longer be a problem once the game moves to the latest Xbox console.


 


Beginning in August, Minecraft will sell for $20 from the Xbox Games Store. (At least it?s not going to cost $60)!


 


There?s also good news for those gamers who already own the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft ? they won?t be required to pay the full price of the new game. For a year after the release, they?ll only have to pay $5 to make the switch. And, as an added bonus, everything they had on their old game will transfer over to the new game. That?s sure to be a relief to those who have spent hours upon hours creating their ideal pixelated world.

Minecraft has been in the news quite a bit lately as Denmark?s Government announced that their entire country had been created to scale within the game to encourage students to visit places that weren?t so easy to reach in the real world.

Its great that the developers were able to offer last gen Minecraft buyers a cheap upgrade price and the ability to migrate saves.

I only wish more developers had followed that lead.

I also agree that the sharing features of the ps4 and next gen in general are going to be very useful with this game.

I won a copy of MC on 360 so I'm probably going to pay the ?4 or whatever it is to upgrade on X1.

 

I don't really play it any more, but considering how much effort they put into updates it's a small thank you back :p

Did you have saves and add-ons that you wanted to transfer? I'm not sure how the process works, but its another nice gesture from the developer.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
