Who’s getting into it hey I’m Jeff Ari give saxons axe good to see we’re gonna talk about Minecraft now right yes all right so let’s I’m here for I think we’ll talk about minecraft I joining us for minecraft your breaker answer sacks person I know I was getting into it Right there that was a lot so let’s talk about Minecraft obviously 4k announcement today at the press conference what can you tell us about the news on minecraft well first we have the like the unification of Minecraft I guess it’s all super excited about that the console version the Xbox One version and the switch version will now be able to play with all the mobile versions the VI versions and the windows tender so everything in the same universe effect yeah everything in the same universe yeah like we’re sort of slowly going through all the different platforms that then that we have Minecraft on and right making sure everybody can play with each other like that goal is that my entire community can play with my entire community and your levels go with you and your character and your profile your skins like all that stuff right um when we’re slowly going to it but it’s It’s exciting to see like switch like joining the family and I look at Reggie as the like I’m a big fan of the switch and getting that that I’d rather be like I switch so I’ll part of the family with Reggie now okay now you guys talked about obviously you know Minecraft 4k Xbox one X Y AM you know such an interesting platform as you said it’s cross so many devices now it’s cool to unify it but from a game update perspective tell us I mean where where does the content of Minecraft go or how far ahead you guys think about where Minecrafts gonna go how far ahead yeah not very far so we went on community driven like so we’re looking maybe like two updates ahead like that’s that’s generally what we do and we’ve been working on the like the upgrade like the stupid uber graphics pack for quite some time Like I think back in some time last year when we started talking about Scorpio like we just got really inspired to see like what would it would it be like to see if we could use Texas six teraflops right that’s how the discussion started and go well like we could do all these Cool things we always wanted to do and then give players like more options like for us it’s always about like what can we enable by the things we make and we think there’s a lot of the like new rendering techniques and like like much for the view distances for example that We know that people are going to use for all equations and servers and whatever so yeah well it’s amazing to see what you guys have been able to build with the franchise across all these different platforms I wouldn’t actually a bit about Minecraft and you know you guys in The past I’ve talked about hololens in a big way we didn’t get much about hololens for minecraft but I’ve really been tracking it like what are what can we expect with hololens and minecraft that something that’s still your team is thinking a lot about yeah we still we Still like we’ve spent a ton of time on VR like like like my part of the team in particular I spent a ton of time in VR and on hololens but VR was the like sort of the scale platform like we try to get mind after as many players as possible And and it’s it made sense to dip a toe in in VR and we weren’t quite ready with hololens yet like with experience we wanted like it’s like it looked amazing on stage it feels great but it sorta has to integrate into minecraft we’re not a Card game like what I showed on stage that there was very much like a tabletop Minecraft and that’s not really what the game is yeah and like the goal is like anything else we do and integrate into the like to the real game so by the time We go out with hololens it’ll seamlessly fit with everything else that you’ve got some PR stuff like ever it’s ocular if you’ve done with the AR and things so I mean might have to kind of as across every device and platform yeah which is really I mean that’s it’s one of the few Franchises I think they said like you know Microsoft is building a game force which let that sink it’s kind of weird right I would like for us like we already had like the switch version is out what we’re doing is basically like unifying the bits so the same play Experience is on switch and Xbox and in PC and Mobile so the same features come out at the same time everybody gets like the updates at the same time right now we have like weather like the we’ve had the Java version and we have like in like sort of normal Minecraft version Right and we have the console minecraft version right and all sort of different we’re trying to unify them so when Lamas come out Lamas on every platform all platformer same date same time hopes we’re hoping you Wow but if that’s a big like we ship on 18 platforms is it 18 Platforms on it Wow I know teams are maintaining those all the time yeah I could say team between like the forge a team in Scotland the mowing team in French comm and the team up in in Washington like all of us are working on like more and more on the same codebase More on the same features and it makes it so much stronger that we put our effort into it that we can really like sort of get everything to everybody like so when you see I guess it’s inspired by Scorpio but it’ll work on most platforms that knock over PC Will be for PC for Sharia but it’ll also work on mobile like we’re working on sort of the graphical update for mobile and how they would look yeah but again it’s a Minecraft is such a big game that we do everything in tiny steps we attempt to do things in tiny steps Because there’s so there’s so many people that that enjoy exactly what it is today what we do is to try to provide more options and the graphics pack is exactly that like we’re not changing the look of Minecraft per se like we’re adding another option for people to to Take if they want to right and I imagine for you guys also you know you’re on so many platforms in some ways it’s probably a challenge to you know they said the updates on me across all the platforms because you know it’s got to work everywhere do you ever you ever Start thinking like what is a Minecraft 2 or is it really just this universe that keeps getting updated you already have so many players in it I think I think we think much more in the like we’re not close to done yet like we added servers is nothing we Announced like servers on the Java edition has been a huge part of of what players do in in Minecraft but they’ve never been available in console and been available in a very limited fashion on mobile and but we are we are working with like the biggest server providers Like one by one and added them so on console you can now play on like basically third-party servers where they had its completely separate entities that they make their own minigames their own rules their own everything the only thing is they adhere to just basic like what is Minecraft about but other than That they they make the game that you go and play and same with the community skins we we now sell adventure maps for example in the in the marketplace they’re made by the community they’re very like they are revered in the community like Knox crew and some of the Other guys like they’ve been doing this for years now we’re giving them a chance to like to reach millions and millions of new people that Strip is now it’s like more addressable fans across more platforms yeah yeah yeah and I think the console players have always liked like The number one request requested feature was adding servers like like everybody wants servers that’s what we’re gonna add with the next update and then we’ll see where we go from there last that’s more to do yeah there’s a lot lot going on and I mean how people touch minecraft from an adult Perspective now like it must be pumped availment I’ll bet yeah no no no no not another ghost 18 platforms you gotta have a lot of people know it I’m not counting in my head but I’m coming in my head like it’s if I say like it’s about a hundred well I would guess like something like that raising effort and yeah like it’s busy no it’s not it’s really fun like whatever you do people notice like there’s not a single tiny little detail with change in the game that doesn’t go noticed if we end up with balancing something like with +1 damage for Example we will hear about it in a nanosecond after we’re super super beta yeah that’s that’s a fun bit right you feel like you’re making a game with everybody because they people care so much about the game that’s never like there’s never been more people that play Minecraft like right like every month it sort of grows a little bit more and we have a huge effort in China to work with with the Chinese development with Nettie’s to bring minecraft to China in an official fashion so there’s always something new around the corner is you Man yeah it’s fun least you’re here for e3 which is awesome III is fun yeah yeah it’s great to have your school so you guys have a press conference thanks for stopping by you ah we are now Video
