This is the strangest game rollout I have ever seen. Is there some sort of regional issue? Why are some countries getting it? What is their definition of delay?

aconnellan3561d ago

You're not wrong there - here's a breakdown of what's happened so far.

- 4J Studios Tweets about a 'surprise' for PS4 owners 'today'
- A few hours later, Daniel Kaplan announces Minecraft in Europe and US to release today
- A few more hours later, Jens Bergensten confirms entire PS4 version delay
- Users in Ireland and New Zealand can download from PSN; still doesn't appear on US store

It's incredibly confusing, I'd imagine they might have hit localisation snags. But here's to hoping it will launch everywhere soon enough

what the heck is going on with this game?

Eonjay3561d ago

Apparently its completely fine in Europe. So we are asking the wrong question.

The right question is: What is wrong with this game in the US?

Gravity_DoGG3561d ago

F*** AI

"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...

Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.

It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.

....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.

That's next Thursday.

Einhander197213d ago (Edited 13d ago )

It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.

What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.

Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.

Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.

Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.

I_am_Batman14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.

If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.

Number1TailzFan14d ago

Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in

helicoptergirl14d ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.

Because human nature xD Almost every new technology had these kind of comments.

1 major advantage to this will be launching it straight from SteamVR. You have to make a custom shortcut to get it working right now in VR.

UltimateOwnage16d ago

This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
