They shouldn't have any issue to not allow Minecraft to cross play, but whatever... I platinumed it and dropped it years ago. This is not my fight!

Gazondaily2511d ago

That's not the point. I'm not a Minecraft fan either. This applies to other games that could be cross platform.

AspiringProGenji2510d ago

Other bigger games will never be cross platform. Neither who is on top will never allow it.

masterfox2512d ago

lol Minecraft,

Is not Sony fault you MS spend a billions of dollars on aquiring Minecraft rights, and now you are trying to get back that investment by shoving in to the face of all MS gamer fans with Minecraft nonsense, why you want to include Sony in your mess MS?, please go away with your Minecraft nonsense.

Kribwalker2511d ago

One of the biggest selling games ever with an extremely large and active community and they are trying to let everyone in that community create together. What is so wrong with that?

Munnkyman2511d ago

Yeah because minecraft doesn't sell 😒

343_Guilty_Spark2511d ago

Minecraft is more valuable as a property than all of Sonys IPs combined.

King Nezz2511d ago

There will be pitchforks and torches on your lawn tonight for that remark. Gahahaha!

Rhythmattic2511d ago

Hope you put that tissue in the garbage before your mum cleans your room 343

DashMad2511d ago

Dumb comments minecraft sold more than 70 million and more than 120 million if we count Pocket Edition(mobile) and have more than 55 million active users monthly.

freshslicepizza2511d ago

The game sold 120 million copies and the merchadising alone makes it a good investement.

j15reed2511d ago

MS already made that money back Minecraft was a steal at that price.

conanlifts2510d ago

Erm... you realise how much money minecraft makes dont you? In 2015 alone it made over $300 million for MS.

Sony Doesn't want cross-play at all. Sony is afraid because we'll destroy the PS community in just about every game!

il-JumperMT2511d ago

Sony supported cross platform since FFXI on PS2

aconnellan2511d ago

And went silent since Microsoft said they want to do it.

Then remained silent when the Rocket League devs said Sony were the only ones they were waiting on for cross play.

And still haven't made a peep even though Minecraft is now cross play between Xbox, PC, iPhone, and even the Switch.

NatFanBoyRestricted2511d ago

PSN are all casuals. Xbox live would sh1t on them

Your out of F-ing mind. Grade school twit.

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 Name46d ago

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

Inverno46d 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?

LucasRuinedChildhood46d ago (Edited 46d 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.

Inverno46d 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.”

OtterX65d 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.
