The framerate could definitely use some work. It gets pretty rough in the tutorial at least.

I cannot get the hang of running, the monsters are going to love me.
Is there really no auto-run toggle? Getting the full version tomorrow for sure anyway.

Framerate problems in Minecraft? Subnative resolution? C'mon now, what the hell were they thinking.

Ever tried playing Minecraft on a low-spec laptop? This is a dream for me.
I'm loving it so far. What can I say? Minecraft, through and through.

Funny little thing I've noticed; at the splash screen it says "Minecraft Vita broke all sorts of records!". Did they just swap it for "Playstation 3" during porting, or are they just super confident....
Says that for PS4 version too. Likely just random text that rotates.

But probably somewhat true considering how it eats up the charts whatever system it's on...
This thing was a huge stealth release though. Minimal advertising, no banner ad on the PSN Store, no reviews either. Honestly, they are leaving money on the table. Hell, they are leaving money outside the door in the rain.

Wohoo it's finally here. Played it for about an hour and it's a bit rough around the edges but perfectly playable. Some things I've noticed
1. Framerate can get choppy when chunks are loading in
2. When you place a block there's a slight delay before the block appears.
3. When I was chopping trees with my hands and looking straight up there was no animation of it being chopped even though it eventually fell.
4. I was building a house in the moddle of a small lake and everytime I placed a block just at water height it would flash black all around me
Weird bugs but nothing that is game breaking and can't be fixed.

I was just playing on peaceful while lying in bed, then it started snowing in-game while I was building my little hut. So relaxing, haha.

One of the best video game soundtracks of recent memory. Understated, but so... zen!

How often did this go on sale in the playstation store for the PS3 version? Was it ever a free paystaiton plus game?
Just wondering if its better to wait a few months with the holiday coming and all

Nice to add the vita version to my collection. Was also expecting shared trophies between ps3. Was nice to see it separate.

It's basically never ever ever going to happen ever. I feel fairly confident in saying that.
I don't think it's ever been on sale. It definitely hasn't been a PS+ game. I wouldn't wait for a sale.

Reading through various issues people are having and I gotta admit I'm not really sure what the source of the issues are. The only bugs I've experienced are weird clipping issues with dropped blocks/animals and occasionally missing an animation. I also haven't had very many framerate drops that in any way hinder the experience. Overall I'm super impressed.
Though I still miss the big worlds and more recent biomes

So, being a MC n00b here....when you die and drop all your stuff...any way to know roughly where it is aside from remembering your location? I was on my way back to my house, fully loaded with mats for my house, when I was ambushed. I am now on a mad hunt to find them. Do they disappear after a set time? It's almost night time, and I'm tempted to go back to the house & sleep to make it daytime.

Man, I bought the ps4 version at full price. I should have bought ps3 version to play on every format including Vita!
Correct on everything except I'm pretty sure if you transfer it to PS4 you can still use it on Vita. I was still able to use my PS3 save after transferring it to Vita
I agree. I have't played the PC version in forever and I haven't touched the PS3 version since like July. When did they add new music?
It's never been on sale. It likely won't go on sale for a long time and it probably won't be a PS+ game for at least a year. Just get it now

If you know what you're doing... the trophies aren't really that difficult to obtain. Ones left over are probably Nether/100 days playtime thing.

Sure it isn't the demo? Try saving your game.

It's the full game, I just saved. I even gained trophies.
Sounds like you're right which is really dumb.

Yea, it is pretty silly, kind of screwing out all those that bought the PS3 game AFTER those dates.
But then, it prevents one copy from circulating through a group of friends, giving as many free copies as systems it gets put in. Honestly, my GF's younger sister has a copy sitting at their dads house, and I was going to "borrow" it to attempt a free copy, but I decided to just bite the bullet and go with the Vita version in case I got the wild hair up my bum to play the console version. But...I've help off playing this until it hit Vita, I realllly don't see me bucking that trend now..
Sorry bud, to you and everyone else who got borked by this.

Just to be clear both the PS3 and Vita versions are available for free in EU with the trick from my post.

I just saw the trick posted in a comment at Wololo and tried it myself. Works perfectly. The instructions I followed said to download the PS4 trial as well, but that's probably not required.
I downloaded the PS4 trial through my PS4. The steps for PS3/Vita I did through my laptop. Then sent the download to my Vita.

What is the size of the demo version? And how can I know ingame that it is the demo?

The demo version downloads the full game, but limits what you can play.
If you follow all the steps and the price of the game doesn't show up anymore on the PS Store, then you definitely have the full game.
Within the game itself I think I read that being able to save is the marker for whether you have the full game. Also not sure, but I think getting trophies is another one?

So same trick as the God of War vita games then.
Hmm, not working for me. All the versions are still showing prices. Trying from a browser, and I did play the PS3 Minecraft demo a while back so I wasn't able to "buy it" again.

I'd already bought and paid for the PS4 version, played a total of like 20 minutes so this 'free' vita version will at least get me to play it again.

EDIT: Nevermind. The way the PS Store lays things out is very confusing (doesn't indicate that the Minecraft for PS4 I have "purchased" is a trial). The PS4 version of the game is NOT Cross-buy.

??? = Those of us getting it for free for Vita liking the game so much that we end up buying it on PS4.
I just got the Vita game via the store glitch and I've been getting trophies.

WHAT?! How?
Go on to the web store, then
1. Download the PS3 demo
2. Download the Vita demo
3. Go back to the PS3 version. It should show up as free.
4. Download that, and you should have the PS3 and Vita versions (cross buy) in your download list for free.
There is most defiantly touch screen controls, you can use them for crafting and selecting items on your tools at the bottom of the screen.
Though it isn't implemented for your inventory for some reason.
Edit: It works for the main menu and settings as well.

PS4 is then free too.
I'd never do anything this disgusting because I'm not a filthy thief. However, if I did, I'd wager that downloading the PS3 demo isn't even necessary. A friend told me that you can just do steps 2, 3, and 4.
