Ah that's a shame to hear. Unplayable? As bad/worse than Borderlands 2?
It's playable, but hopefully they can smooth it out a bit. Haven't played Borderlands 2, so I can't compare the two.

It's playable. It's at its worst when you're looking out over a large swath of land or something. It's really solid with smaller lines of sight, but when it does get choppy, I'd say it's about BL2 level. I've been playing BL2 te last few days actually, so it's pretty fresh in my mind, and I think that would be an accurate comparison.

It would be nice and would make sense if the PS4 discount applied two ways.

Whaaaat? Please don't tell me after 14 months of waiting there's a problem aha
Still there for me. Are you sure you're on the US store?

It must just be an issue with the PS4 browser. I tried looking up the texture packs for Vita but it only showed PS3 and PS4 versions. The link you posted rakes me straight to it but if I try a search it shows nothing. Sorry, my mistake.
On another note, I'm glad to see my texture packs transfer to all Playstation versions.

With the release of the Vita version of Minecraft I believe I may actually give this game a shot. I've had zero interest in this game since it's beta days, but the idea of being able to play it on the go and having access to the PS3 version (and PS4 version at a discounted price) I may have to cave in and buy this.

This is exactly why I am buying it. I could never get in to it before. But having it portable will completely change everything about the game. I can't wait to get my mitts on it.
When I try selecting "Add to Cart", I get a pop-up error:
"You are not eligible to purchase or download this content."
Guessing Sony does not want my monies...?
When i used that link, the PC Store showed me the price tag. However, if i browse the game in the Vita Games tab, it appeared as "Free". Anyway, downloading it now. Can't wait to get home and give it a try

Framerate at first glance (overlooking starting area/expanse) seems smooth enough! It is sub native res but it looks good enough. I'm not complaining.
How does the online work in this?

Completely unsure, any Gaffers want to get together and figure it out?
Also, any direct feed screenshots yet?

I have a sneaky suspicion the 3DS will get over it...

I'm really curious to see what happens this Christmas with sales. Either this will be a major bump to Vita, or it will just be ignored since it is the hundredth version of Minecraft.
I think this could really be huge, but Sony MUST advertise it and get the word out that this is a real Minecraft game in a portable.

Sub resolution, AND pretty choppy? No thanks, you'd have to pay me to play it. Ugh.... Man I was really hyped for this

The framerate hasn't hit me too hard despite long viewing distances. There is A LOT more pop-in but framerate is pretty stable for the most part minus a few dips here and there.
I didn't notice much about resolution but it looks like minecraft and not a blurry mess like most sub-res games, the nature of minecrafts graphics really help it.
New trophy list. Same trophies as the PS4 version apparently.
And those screens looks alright. UI seems properly scaled. I blame the Vita screenshot compression for the artifacting.

I think it's shares the trophy list with PS4 but it has its own trophy set.
It only says PSVita in Trophies.

So there's like a ton of options in this game. I might try to upload some screenshots but there's menus upon menus for HUD scaling and other things. Not all options are useful though
Appears to be a separate trophy list

If any game could get away with sub native reso, it's a game like Minecraft...it's already pixelated to all hell

okay
Not sure about the UI, but the game renders at 720x408 I believe (judging by the resolution of the official screenshots that have been released.)
No shit; my son's reaction to seeing me play Minecraft on my Vita:Microsoft just handed Vita the portable console war, sorry 3DS, so sorry
"I'll let you play the 3DS dad... If I can play your Vita."
Good game Nintendo time to hang it up tho.

Can't wait to try this out. I was playing Minecraft PS4 on Vita with remote play, and the game played great for the most part. The only downfall being a slight difficulty in aiming when placing difficult blocks with only a sliver of aim space.
It's too bad that I can't transfer PS4 worlds over to this, but that would be wishful thinking. It will just be awesome having a legit portable Minecraft.

Yeah, that's what I was expecting. Pretty low, but thankfully Minecraft isn't about small details so it should be fine.
It begins.
Huh, I thought it looked pretty solid from what I saw in the preview builds. Is it worse now?
.... that ain't how it works.
I'd double dip for Vita version if they upped the world size so they could do PS4 cross-save. I'd give anything for that.

Unfortunately I can't compare it to the preview builds, but the game can get pretty choppy.
