And it's an IP their competitor owns on a platform Sony abandoned years ago.

Dragon quest Builders was an excellent copy in a good way of Minecraft ....why they just dont continue with a sequel that would have the same volume and freedom as Minecraft but also keeping the anime/jrpgs features of DQB ...

freshslicepizza2677d ago

minecraft was actually a good investment even though it costs a lot to purchase.

I thought you guys have been saying for YEARS the Vita is dead.
A bit of consistency there ; should you be seeking clicks for a ghost? still now, and probably still next year..?

CocoaBrother2677d ago

If you are referring to this website calling the Vita dead, they didn't in this article nor any other article on their site from what I could find; they said abandoned by Sony in which they aren't wrong.

I love my Vita, don't get me wrong, but Sony hasn't released/published a retail game for the system in the west since 2014 with Freedom Wars... MLB15 was download only but counting that then April 2015. Western third party has been abandoned for years too but luckily Japanese developers continue to support it(thank you Square for Dragon Quest Builders and World of Final Fantasy).

Silly gameAr2677d ago

So, the headline just sounds like clickbait, but it's not actually clickbait. Got to admit, it seems like it was designed to get some clicks.

Kokyu2676d ago

Really? So the 7 to 8 games annouced at PSX dont count I guess.

Vegamyster2676d ago

@Kokyu

He said Sony hasn't released/published any since 2014/15 but did say Japanese developers still do to a certain degree, none of the games at PSX are coming from Sony.

How is that related to the article?

If we include digital games, Minecraft passed a million copies in April. Retail wise, it passed a million this week
http://gematsu.com/2016/05/...

As for being the first Sony published game to pass the million mark in Japan in 12 years, I find it a little hard to believe. I don't have the time to research at the moment so if anyone could prove this to be true, I'm curious to know.

This is a Famitsu sales database: https://sites.google.com/si... If you sort by publisher (SCE) you'll find out the last Sony published game to do 1 million at retail was Gran Turismo 4 in 2004.

CocoaBrother2675d ago

Thank you, I appreciate the response

***As it stands now, Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition has been Sony’s final retail release for the handheld in Japan.***

Author needs to change this. Minecraft : PSV Edition isn't the final retail release game in Japan.

gokuking2676d ago

There's not been a Sony published Vita retail game in Japan since Minecraft.

Christopher2676d ago

I guess the confusion on my part is I don't interpret "Sony's final retail release" as being just Sony published but any game at retail for their device.

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name47d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno47d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno47d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure46d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Minecraft Bedrock Introduces Official Add-Ons To Marketplace

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX66d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
