This is beyond annoying, its been ten days since it was submitted to cert testing and still no patch?
I can't walk one step without hearing the sound play 7 times, map loading is slow, there is a overall drop in Frames per second, etc.
Shouldn't a game with many bugs like this be patched quickly?
I blame 4j for not catching these and Sony for slacking on this cert testing.
PS3 version is the worst version of minecraft at least compared to the xbox 360 and pc version. I've seen the xbox version and it doesn't seem to run nearly as bad as the ps3 version. Only thing I don't like about the pc version is that it runs on java and java sucks. I still play the ps3 version the most but the frame rate drops are holding this game back on ps3.

This game had a amazing fps before the update it rarely dropped at all, I wish TU14 never happened.
I hear you. It's pathetic. Xbox 360 owners got the update last thursday. On top of this they're making another NEW texture pack, instead of introducing more texture packs on the PS3 that were already released as DLC on XBLA. That alone indicates that 4J made some agreements with Microsoft regarding new DLC content. It's despicable that the Xbox 360 platform is still getting priority considering how far the PS3 lags behind with DLC.
In the mean time PS3 owners are still waiting for a much needed patch to fix a bug ridden new content patch. Not to talk about the missing texture packs like Natural and Fantasy which are still not available in the PSN store. Not ONE decent survival texture pack. Instead we got a texture pack for people who like to build stuff and people who like bright blocks with incredibly ugly looking mineral blocks and items.
I bought the skin pack with the uncharted and killzone skins but I didn't like the texture packs.
I agree with all of y'all. I can't help but feel like the ps3 version is just a side project created only for money. It feels sloppy. I bought the 360 version the day it came out and it was never this bad. The updates were released really quickly and good Skin Packs were released every few weeks. I doubt we will see another skin or texture pack for the ps3 until early July.

It's abit crap we have to wait longer than xbox for anything to come our way. It grinded my gears,
having to wait for the city texture when Xbox got it straight away.
Then xbox get their tu15 patch straight away, meanwhile us PS3 users are still breaking the same
block 10 times over with muffled mics, and alot of the time, no Mic at all.
Sort your 4j!!
You want the community behind you? Then start looking at equality.
Thank you for finally giving us minecraft, but still... Doesn't mean you can take a dump on us everytime
something new is added.
this is absolutely appalling. first we get the update days after the xbox edition like we are some second hand clothing then we get given texture packs that the xbox edition have had for 7 DAMNED MONTHS and 4J expects us to be overly thrilled about it THEN they bring the update out and it completely ruins the gameplay (I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO MINE A BLOCK 40 trillon damned times) and the patch to fix these problems again gets fixed by Xbox first and we have to wait a week again. PATHETIC!!!!! absolutely goddamned pathetic 4J. what a fantastic way to treat all your ps3 users you complete idiotic morons. FANTASTIC!!!!
i have been tweeting them everyday and no response to me or anyone else that brings up ps3 issues. it is absolutely ridiculous that they continue to ignore us. just goes to show that they are more interested in the money then there loyal users.
The patch might have got rejected by Sony and that is why it is taking longer. Or Sony is just extremely slow at testing it or whatever they are doing. But I am still playing this buggy version anyway. I also just realized that the ps3 controller hurts my pointer fingers after a while of mining using those triggers. It's never happened before I guess because most games don't use the triggers that much. I had to plug in my ps4 controller and play with that since you can't customize the controls the way you want so I couldn't switch R2 with R1. PS4 controller works fine though.
First, it's in cert testing, thus at this point the patch being late isn't 4J's fault.
The texture packs take time, they likely have separate teams for Xbox and PS3, since both are two completely different platforms. Thus, porting isn't really easy, and the Xbox team isn't going to just stop working just because the PS3 is behind in content, which, you know, SHOULD BE EXPECTED considering the game came out more than a year after the Xbox version. Heck, the fact that they are so in line with one another is amazing, we started with more of a game than the people on Xbox. We'll get new textures, either because of loyalty to customers, or because some of you are right and they only care about money.
Because let's be honest, if all they cared about was money, they'd be churning out skin packs and texture packs like there was no tomorrow. Release DLC or not, people get mad and say they only care about money. It makes absolutely no sense in this situation.
I'm can't wait for the patch to come, it's frustrating at times playing like this, not being able to chat easily, and the myriad of other problems. But, you know, you could always do something else while you wait, unless this is literally the only game you own and don't do anything else. Sure, 4J messed up with not finding the bugs (though honestly, Sony cert testers, as well as Microsoft, kinda dropped the ball a bit) but they are working on fixing the issues.
How do I know? Because either they care about us, or they only want the money. Either way, it's in their best interest to fix the issues so we'll buy future DLC. They can't fall back on a Season Pass or something like that.
I too am hoping the patch will come out soon, but I would rather wait for the patch to be good than a hurry up and plaese eveybody fix. It is frustrating dealing with the bugs. I am a patient person and willing for 4j and Sony to get this one right.
I'll "chill" when the PS3 has gotten TU15 and finally some survival style texture packs. Just to remind you, we wouldn't be in this mess if 4J didn't release TU14 too soon without properly testing it. I'd rather have waited than playing a broken new content patch. Their relation, agreement wise, with Sony also isn't where it is compared to Microsoft. They always get new content sooner. Doesn't mean I can't complain about it. If no one does nothing will ever change.
Your argument that the PS3 started out more as a Minecraft game than the Xbox 360, makes no sense at all. It's perfectly logical that the PS3 was ported from the state the Xbox 360 Minecraft version was in. Why would they port an earlier version of a Xbox 360 release to the PS3, just to do the same work they did on the Xbox 360 again on the PS3?
The sad truth is that the Xbox 360 version got new DLC out a lot quicker than the PS3. It's still happening today. I wouldn't be surprised that the new texture pack gets released on XBLA first. Probably part of the deal they have with Microsoft. Not that I care in this case since I don't need a kiddy my little pony style texture pack. The PS3 still has ZERO survival style texture packs. Am I unreasonable to expect at least one survival style texture pack by now, other than the default one?
Concerning texture packs. Do you really think the textures/sounds need to be redesigned for the PS3? Why would they have to make the textures all over again? The smart way is to re-use them on different platforms. Do you really think the PS3 needs a different rendering process for every texture pack? Rendering different texture packs support is already in place. That leaves putting the textures together in a texture pack and making it a choice for rendering. Then test if all the textures used for static/dynamic objects are rendered correctly and sounds are played correctly. This is not hard, it just takes time. What are your arguments exactly why this would be hard?
You know, it is very possible that they didn't experience the multitude of these bugs when they were testing before TU14 came out. I am not experiencing all of the bugs (chickens spawn fine for me for example) and considering the team's relatively small size, it isn't that surprising.
Coding and programming, especially when you're working with two different systems, especially as different as the PS3 and Xbox, isn't easy, bugs will come, it happens in every game it's a fact of programming such things.
As for texture packs, porting isn't always that easy, otherwise companies wouldn't repeatedly make that same point. They also have to make sure that the DLC doesn't cause any problems at all, considering that DLC is harder to fix through patches than the game itself. We don't know everything. They just said the Natural Pack is coming, so yeah. Just be patient.

"We can either release the already made natural and fantasy texture packs on ps3 or we can make a totally unrelated candy texture pack for xbox!"
"Let's make another crappy texture pack while ps3 begs and groans for our already made ones we are too lazy to release!"

I hope it's already morning update, I've been waiting too
