Oh man, that is totally awesome. A page out of the Valve book, but welcome in any video game by my opinion.

Definitely cool. I'm still not sure what Minecraft is but this makes me want to find out even more.

You mine resources and build things with them.... While being one of the biggest grindfests you can find in gaming, it's incredibly addictive, more so than it initially sounds. Basically, it's one of the most fun and true-to-genre sandbox games that you can find.

Minecraft is the fort or tree house, or sky castle your inner kid always dreamed of having. Even as an adult. When I play Minecraft the imagination I thought no longer existed comes leaping out.

Minecraft is what you want it to be.

Old.
Pretty sure the portals aren't similar to the portals in Portal.

~_~

And besides, Minecraft creative mode already had a Portal mod.

Who ever wrote this has no idea what they are talking about Notch is implementing portals to the he'll tell he is introducing in the Halloween update.

Yet that made no sense at all...he said that he was bringing it into the Halloween update.

F*** AI

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.

Einhander19721d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h 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_Batman2d ago (Edited 2d 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.

Number1TailzFan2d 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

helicoptergirl2d 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.

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