Gaming News: Minecraft Xbox One Edition Update, New Fallout 4 Clue and New Skylanders Collection Vault iOS App
When the first Web site, thesurvivor229.com, was spotted riddled with "Fallout 4" clues, it wasn't hard to take it with a pretty large grain of salt, considering how easy it is to troll the Internet.
But this time, another new clue in the form of another Web site has appeared. AusGamers spotted vaultofthefuture.net, which had even more themes and references to the "Fallout 4" game. According to the report, one of the clues points to the possibility that the setting would be Washington in ruins for the upcoming game.

Visitors of the Web site will see an old TV playing the same transmission over and over again. But the more interesting thing here is the countdown below it saying, "395 days, 22 hours, 5 minutes and 10 seconds left until the vault opens..."The countdown is actively taking place, so has likely changed from the time of writing.
The biggest clue? Check out the links below the Web site. The Twitter is linked to the account of "Fallout," while the YouTube video is linked to Bethesda. The wait is still definitely long---technically, almost an entire year more. But considering that Bethesda has yet to officially announce anything can mean that there may still be more less covert ways that the game will be teased.

'Minecraft: Xbox One' Details Coming Soon
The latest that has been heard from "Minecraft: Xbox One" developer was that it was already working on the "Minecraft PS3 Edition," with no word yet on when the PS4 version will be started and sent for testing.
However, an exclusive interview with OXM has gotten a few words from Roger Carpenter, lead producer at Microsoft, where he hinted that the Minecraft: Xbox One" will soon have more details, as the project can be talked in earnest by its developer 4J Studios.
For now, it may be that 4J Studios is hard at work with the PS3 version and that any other updates and concrete progress with the "Minecraft: Xbox One" are still being processed. Or, as in this following suggestion, other things being made.

"There are lots of cool things being worked on, we've been paying attention to what the community has been asking for," said Mr Carpenter to OXM. "We've been discussing quite a few ideas for future mash-ups. The aim is that they're special creations - we're not going to do loads of them," he added.
At least for the current "Minecraft: Xbox 360" game, there are more mash-up packs that will be given. But it would also be a good idea if these mash-ups were made available for the other "Minecraft" versions.
