Minecraft News : Minecraft Earth! Augmented Reality Game!

Welcome back to another video here on the second channel we have big news because today is the ten year anniversary of Minecraft and to celebrate Mo yang have made two big announcements one of them that it’s probably not so big and the other one

That kind of is a big deal this is it right here we are looking at a new minecraft game an augmented reality game called minecraft earth now if you’re aware of Pokemon go the inspiration the idea is probably fairly obvious where this is coming from as you can see here

It says an all-new augmented reality mobile game that’s the sort of game where you point your camera at the world and it adds in extra elements which appear that you can interact with anyway scrolling down you can see that there is a video for some reason it

Doesn’t work when you try to watch it on the website so you can go to youtube and watch a link to this in the description box down below and we’ll watch it together and I’ll say that the trailer itself and a lot of the information and material that’s available at the moment

It’s very much in that kind of teaser stage where they’re letting you know there’s going to be a Minecraft augmented reality game and they don’t really tell you too much about how it will be played what will actually happen but I’ve read through the article there are actually a couple of really good

Hints that kind of give you an indication as to what direction it might go in and to be fair I think they’re things that it hints at actually sound like what most players would want it to be which is sticking to the Minecraft format right being able to build things

Gather resources collect mobs stuff like that although obviously the mob collection is more of a Pokemon thing of course in game you can collect mobs in minecarts and boats and move them around to one place or another and you can see the trailer here is just kind of hyping

It all up right it’s not actually showing you the game on a phone or anything like that it’s just giving you this feel for you looking at your phone screen and seeing more elements in the world that are from Minecraft which will certainly be interesting to see how

Minecraft can translate itself to you know to this new type of game anyway let’s go back to the article so here you’ll see that there are four main pointers and this is where we can draw the most of the information from so there is collect first of all

And it talks about being able to collect mobs unique variants of mobs but also new ones as well this means that we might start to see the Minecraft if you want to call it a universe of world whatever we might start to see it separate and see different or new

Creatures and creations on this version of the game as opposed to the main one or they might just come side by side which is what I think I would prefer to see the game not fractured off into different you know parts and have the content separate so to speak there is an

Explore part here which hints at not only the exploration to see things but gathering resources as well which suggests that the building may not be in creative mode probably going to be both survivable or creative I would imagine but it doesn’t really tell us then we have collaborate which is terrific

You’ll be able to play with other players exactly how that connectivity will work I’m not entirely sure it may just be a case that it’s very social you’re gonna be standing next to the person you’re gonna be looking at your phones in the same area and that allows

You to play but again it’s not going into any details it’s all in the teaser phase of things at the moment we then have survived survival skills is what I kind of extrapolate from this down here it kind of hints at you having to use your survival skills and therefore it

Probably means there is going to be the equivalent of a survival mode and then I believe this image right here is a unique variant of the pic one with a tulip or Rose in its head and covered in mud I actually really love the pig

Covered in mud I think they look so cool no new items or icons down here in fact I kind of skimmed over this a little bit before but this is a you know this is the menu of the game right where you store your items your hotbar so if it’s

Going to include that functionality we can look at that as a signal of the game actually being quite similar to what it is at the moment I wasn’t particularly excited about this a while ago Microsoft released a teaser video and I was kind of like oh you know Pokemon goal wasn’t

For me I don’t want to see them just take the minecraft brand and give it a Pokemon go twist but it feels like this could really be minecraft in and all mented reality environment so I’m pretty stoked for it I think it looks like it will be interesting at the other

Announcement they made to celebrate 10 years is minecraft earth weight sorry I’m getting totally confused this is another page that they linked to that has more promotional material for Minecraft Earth which is the Augmented 3d game on this one here you can see players placing blocks into the 3d

Environment together from their phones this right here is again a kind of demonstration of what the interface could be I kind of glossed over that when I first looked at it you know but it does actually show you the interface in a potential way you could be participating with the game then these

Sorts of screenshots are more just about you know showing the outlines of phones and having the creatures around and the buildings put into the IRL so anyway the other announcement that I fought over is changing over to is simply Minecon live so mine con used to be an actual

Convention then it got turned into a live show / mini convention with other synchronized conventions I believe it’s going to be the same deal once again a lot of this is just fluffle this this reading right here the date is September the 28th of this year so that will be a

Live streamed event that everyone will be able to tune in and watch from various places actually gives you a link to visit for that but the link is broken and then I assume there is actually going to be a little mind con mini mind con event somewhere where all of this

Panels and stuff takes place but anyway the 28th is the date to put in your calendar that’s when they’re going to announce the features of the next major update and minecraft there could be one pivot point 15 very likely I think it will be 1.15 just five months away

They’ll probably take their time putting that together I doubt we’ll see 1.15 before this and then have 1.16 announced there so updates for minecraft my quiet and down for the next few months in anticipation of mine con anyway I guess that’s it from me this video then right

Thank you so much for watching you can find links to all the stuff I showed in here in the description box down below and of course let me know what you think of Minecraft Earth I’m actually pretty excited for it looks like it could be really fun anyway

It for me I’ll see you bye-bye
