The new PS4 has a touchpad on the controller and I'm curious as to how Minecraft will use it.

I think the start menu will be programmed with the touch screen bit of the controller and the rest is just controller just my guess on how it is to be, anyway really looking forward to it!!!

i hope the touchpad is used mostly for the inventory

Yeha that would be awesome.

Use touchpad on the PS4?
Use kinect on the One?
To keep it consistent and simpler between consoles 4J may not use either one. I'd be surprised if they did.

Yeah they wouldn't want to spend a lot of time making something big that only works on one of the 5 systems. To me it seems like that would be a waste of time that could be spent on updates. There's plenty of things that they could do, but if they do anything it will likely be something small.

Probably will be no focus on touch pad at all considering PS3 controllers dont have them, if they do focus on a touch screen it will be for the vita.

Possibly for block selector on creative but i doubt they'll use it

Yep, It Will Be Like PE Or Not Added At All, Plus It Seems Hard To Add So I Don't See Them Adding It Straight Away.

How do we know it would be hard to add?

I'm hoping inventory. Maybe a scroll type motion? Like a finger flip if that makes sense.

That's what i Thought.

It'd be convenient, but I don't think they would use it.

I also hope inventory.
