Mojang Is Building a Native PS5 Version of Minecraft, And It Needs Your Help (2024)

I prefer Dragon Quest Builders 3 on PS5 instead of Minecraft.
More aesthetic and more cartoonish looking.

@Anti-Matter If only they made a 3rd one, I would love that!! The second one is amazing and far improved on Minecraft imo.

There is a paragraph in the article where they explained why they are doing this. So this leaves me with just one question: why?

Hope they improve textures... those 8bit are horrible..

(sarcasm, I don't care Minecraft at all)

I like Minecraft I think it's a pretty chill game (BS microtransantions aside), so I'll probably check this out at some point

Ray tracing? 120fps? I mean, really it's Minecraft, so I echo the question by @Czar_Khastik - why?

I suppose it might save a few GB on the Tub o' Lard's microscopic hard drive.

The PS4 version had PS VR1 support. Does the PS5 version include PS VR2 support?

Just read an article on another site that said M$ is adding AI to all their games, starting with Minecraft. The AI is supposed to help the player but I can't stop wondering how much data it will collect from our systems.
I will never ever install any game that collect AI data in the background. I rather just go back to my Amiga 500 and PS3/PS4 that I can play offline.
I can't understand how everyone seems ok with AI without any rules attached to it, It's intrusive af right now and it will destroy all our privacy within a few years if no laws are controlling this trial and error way to approach AI that is the current model.
And for us gamers, it seem to start with Minecraft, just so you know. 👀🤷

@Czar_Khastik
I don't understand this either. Yesterday there was an article on a 2D RPG remake having a performance mode.
Just allround craziness

@sanderson72 Minecraft with RT looks great on PC.

I may try this, but I've tried to get into Minecraft many times, to no avail. What's with the villager NPCs? Some sort of congenital defect? I'm think I'm just way too old for the game..

@Specky I can only think of poor programming with no optimizations. I would like to be wrong, but what other explanation makes sense

@Zeke68 thing is AI is the modern way to package in an easier sell for what has been being done for years. Data collection is in everything already, with varying degrees of intrusiveness. The "AI" banner means people are more likely to accept even more intrusive collection, because it means.... Well, AI right? Even though no one actually knows how to use AI some something useful yet and the capability isn't there other than it effectively being a modern web crawler with far more information than previously provided, there is very little intelligence in current AI.

So sure, sign away your data for a purpose unknown when it brings no real benefit to you the consumer! It's a backwards world where until recently companies used to pay huge amounts of money to get the type of data we now give away for free, because it comes under a "feature" banner.

Apple started this with iPods which have been collecting data since then, Google has been doing it since day1, and Amazon is scary what they collect. If you disagree with any of this, your online life will become quite limited and that's the issue - if you don't accept the terms, you don't get much functionality!

@Blofse You pretty much summed up my concerns. I can just agree. Still don't like the intrusion in stuff like my game collection.

@ThaBEN Since it's in development the features are yet to be announced. They warned as it is a preview there are no store functions.

Minecraft has lots of potential to be better with more power. Just because it's blocky doesn't mean it doesn't use resources. Draw distance is my first thought, it actually has quite a short distance on the PS4 version, the details like npcs and buildings disappear from not too far away.

@SoNico89
I hope so! The PS VR1 version made use of the Dualsense controller, not the move controllers. So it should be an "easy" way to port it to PS VR2 in regards to control scheme.

To be honest, I was just thinking about getting Minecraft (Java version) to play on my iMac for some time now.

Hopefully a automatic trophy pop for PS4 trophies earned
