Next gen Minecraft will feature bigger but not infinite worlds

4.5
While many had hoped due to the "increased capabilities" of next gen consoles that they would indeed be able to furnish infinite Minecraft worlds like the PC iteration but it was not fate. 4J Studios has assured us that the PS4/Xbox One versions of the game will be "bigger" than current gen renditions of the game; this restriction has been blamed on the limit of size allowed when regarding save files on the respective consoles. The PS3 version of Minecraft is slated for release on March 14th while the next gen editions are expected to arrive in either "Q2/Q3" of this year.

EstablishedGaming Infinite is possible they would just need to allocate the correct amount of ram.


It literally says in the article that its due to the limit on the size of save files... it has nothing to do with the amount of ram needed, theres no questions the consoles could handle it the save files would just be too large

TheFinalBuild Hahaha anyone who says these "next gen consoles" are as powerful as a standard gaming PC have no idea about technology.


You obviously didn't read the article. The reason for the worlds not being infinite, is because of World save files.


I did read the article, but if you read the comments you have kids claiming the next gen consoles are equal to a standard gaming PC. That's what my comment was aimed towards.


Really? You don't buy a console for "Beautiful Graphics" you buy it for the social portion. Consoles will never be as powerful as PCs because you can't upgrade them, Excluding the Steam Box.
