With Microsoft expected to unveil its next-generation next Xbox console and Sony with PlayStation 4, it definitely is a bright future ahead for Minecraft.
After having to prove itself for years, Xbox doubled down and pulled it off..
Yep Xbox absolutely knocked it out of the park with that stunning show, it was everything a gaming showcase should be, games games and games, well done team Xbox.
While the Sony State of Play had a critical lack of first-party titles and new stuff, Xbox came in hard and delivered one hell of an event.
It's embarrassing how "professional videogaming journalism" has fallen off.
Article written by a 13 years old full of acne.
I think people need to be aware that purpose of State of Play is updates on small scale and 3rd party games, their big scale showings are PlayStation Showcase.
Approved this silly submission of an "opinion article" with the last 2 votes it needed to have a laugh at the upcoming comments.
Seriously, console war shit like this one should be banned from n4g.
One one side a company that has brought real innovation in videos games with the first truly 3d graphics for mass entertainment, handheld devices, VR, great francises ... on the other side the Netflix of video games, and so .... who wants to be who? Let's stay focus and play some games kids.
Shahmeer from eXputer: "The new Xbox strategy to go multi-platform could eventually change console gaming as we know it, and I am concerned."
Can we stop pretending that Xbox has any great influence over the console market?
All they can do is try and steer their own Destiny. They have very little to do with what the other players in the console market are doing.
And yes, going 3rd party is pretty much their only option and is good for them.
We need to stop pretending like Xbox matters and has any influence in the industry.
By entering the industry, Microsoft made it worst, everything bad in the industry can be tied to them (like paid online and DLCs). The industry would be better off if they had never been in it.
Before you say Sony would have no competition, they would still have PC and Nintendo. As they are right now, Microsoft are not competition, they don't actually matter.
I think in Xbox’s direness it is, but let’s not pretend like they don’t understand the value of exclusiveness to their platform. Not every damn Xbox game is coming to PS5 and the stuff that has hit have either been GaaS games or games that didn’t exactly sell gamgbusters and are extremely niche.
When Halo, Gears, Forza, Perfect Dark, Fable, etc. start coming to PS5 then that’s pretty massive and also diminishes any reason to own an Xbox.
It's the only decision. Hardware sales are on a sharp decline and Game Pass growth has stagnated.
Mincraft has a unique graphics style and thus it does not really have anything to improve upon. Unless they ditch java as the code base. Also, Mods!
360 version maybe, but the PC? Its home? Not likely. We'll have to see though.
well that was random, the pc version is best because of controls and not being on a closed platform. the graphics are trivial.
I quite like the game but I think in stead of blocks they should make it into clay it would make the game a lot better i think
Who cares? MC was supposed to be the opposite of extreme graphics. Notch is a one hit wonder anyway and I do love MC.
