Sony's Biggest Stars Get Blocky Today In Minecraft On PS3
A new update hit the console version of Minecraft last week, but that isn’t the only new addition if you play on the PlayStation 3. Mojang announced on the PlayStation Blog that Minecraft PlayStation 3 edition is receiving new skin and texture packs today.
Skin Pack 1 includes a lineup of some of Sony’s biggest stars, including Nathan Drake (Uncharted), Heavy Rain characters, Killzone characters, and Sly Cooper. The other announced skin pack is titled Battle and Beasts, which includes koalas, a Cleopatra look-a-like, an octopus, and a few cavemen.
In addition to the skin packs, PS3 users can also download two texture packs. The City Texture pack makes Minecraft look more modern and clean, while the Plastic Texture pack will make everything appear more plastic.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
