Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition announced
Telltale's Minecraft: Story Mode wasn't the only big reveal at this weekend's Minecon. Microsoft also used the occasion to announce a new version of Minecraft—Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. It will be free if you already own the game on PC, or $10 if you don't, and it's based on the Pocket version of the game. The beta starts on July 29th.
Windows 10 Edition won't boast every feature of Minecraft, at least to start with, but Mojang say they're "aiming for feature parity" (see above link). Xbox Live and controllers will be supported, but won't be required, and it seems Mojang are aiming for dedicated servers further down the line. The seven-player limit mentioned below is because the game is based on Pocket Edition. Here's the feature list of Windows 10 Edition as it stands now:
-
Craft, create, and explore online with up to seven friends playing Windows 10 Edition Beta, through local multiplayer or with your Xbox Live friends online.
-
Play online and local multiplayer with other Pocket Edition players thanks to a free update, due to arrive soon after launch.
-
Multiple control schemes! Switch between controller, touch, and keyboard controls with little to no effort!
-
Record and share gameplay highlights with built-in GameDVR.
-
Help shape the future of Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta with our built player feedback mechanisms!
-
Chickens, zombies, pigs, boats, armed skeletons, potatoes, zombies, baby squids, enchantment tables, villagers, naked sheep, iron golems, potions, ghasts, pickaxes, carrots, and all the weird and wonderful goodness you’ve come to expect from Minecraft.
Carli Lloyd wins Women's World Cup Golden Ball as England's Lucy Bronze misses out
United States captain Carli Lloyd capped her incredible performance in Sunday's women's World Cup final by winning the Golden Ball as the player of the tournament.
England defender Lucy Bronze was shortlisted for the award given to the best player at tournament but was no match for hat-trick hero Lloyd.
The 32-year-old midfielder led by example in the final, scoring three goals in the first 16 minutes including one show-stopping effort from halfway, helping the Americans defeat Japan 5-2 to win the World Cup for the third time.
Lloyd became the first woman to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final then cleaned up at the post-match awards ceremony, picking up two gongs, the Golden Ball and the Silver Boot, as runner-up for the most goals in the tournament.
Already a two-time Olympic gold medallist, she became just the second American to win the Golden Ball, joining Carin Jennings, who the won the award in 1991, and her performance immediately earned her the seal of approval from U.S. President Barack Obama.
"What a win for Team USA! Great game @CarliLloyd! Your country is so proud of all of you. Come visit the White House with the World Cup soon," Obama tweeted.
