You know, M***craft Earth was announced and revealed few days ago. Many contacted me comparing the coming new giant AR title with Wrldcraft (that is going to be released on June 14 fyr) and asking me in what the two titles differs and in what my is better.
Well, I can only base my opinion on what I’ve seen on MCE commercial (that isn’t, you know, real game footage), on what M1cr0s0ft Studios declared and on what the giournalists that have seen a beta are saying about the game.
This is a seven point list I’m quite confident are actual techical and conceptual differences.
The first: in Wrldcraft when you build in a place that place (called plot of land) is yours and under your control. Every plot is 20×20 blocks wide (10×10 meters). You can take ownership of nearby plots to make bigger constructions seamlessy. Your friends can take nearby plots and extend what you built.
The second: each block you put in Wrldcraft not only is persistent forever and visitable by others, but occupies a precise and immutable place in the world, with a fixed size of half meter. You could cover the entire world joining your construction with all the other nearby doing real giant collaborative buildings, starting from very distant points in the real world.
From what I see MCE isn’t conceived in this way.
The Third: I know you’re thinking this. No M***craft IPs, no Steve and Enders here. Move along.
The Fourth: you can dig the terrain to find relics or just build your own pool or explorate caves.The Fifth: Wrldcraft is downloadable and playable right now as open beta and it’s going to be released, M***craft Earth not (still).
The Sixth: you can start building in the real world and continue on a desk or on your floor, other people can contribute in realtime in-place or from theyr desk as well, fully collaborative AR.
The last: M***craftEarth has a multibillion giant behind, Wrldcraft , well, has just me 😀
Well, there are much more differences but you must discover them by yourself if you want to.
Cool! I didn’t know about you, but this article showed up in my Android phone’s Google Discover feed!
Only downside… it says your app isn’t compatible with my Razer Phone 2, despite its nice specs. 🙁
Pourquoi je peux pas installer l’app ?
