Minecraft 360 Sneak Peek
Mojang recently revealed that Minecon attendees will be able to play Minecraft on the XBox 360 before public release! Minecraft for the 360 is still in heavy development, but Mojang is definitely happy with the game's progress up to this point. Their main focus has been keeping the game's core experience intact while ensuring that it fits on a new platform.
In addition, Microsoft will be joining Mojang at Minecon to participate in the 360 Minecraft preview. Our poll for the day asks: "Are you planning on purchasing the XBox 360 version of Minecraft?" Vote now!
I don't think you're thinking this through.
I would think that every game would have to sell for 2X to 4X as much as they do now, because now the programmers/developers have to make a PC, PS3, Xbox, AND Wii version for every game so all the platforms are covered AND provide it each kind of media so you can load it on any platform.
In a Perfect World, all games (or any program for that matter) are written in one language that will work on any PC (regardless of OS) or console. Course, all games must be "adjusted down" so they will work on the console with the least specs :sad.gif:
In the meantime, of course it would be "nice" if you bought a game you could play it on "any" system... but that ain't happening anytime soon.
Fortresscraft isn't anything like minecraft. I know first hand, I have minecraft, fortresscraft, miner, and many other block editors and they are all very different. If anything, TotalMiner is the most like Minecraft.
Edited my post to make it more clear. :smile.gif:
Very true. But still, I don't think it was worth getting into bed with Microsoft to allow the dozen or so people who didn't have Minecraft for the PC to play it on their Xbox ^^; Just my opinion, but you are right. xD
But this looks like a good opportunity for people who want to play Minecraft but have suckish PCs.
Same here.
1: indie support
2: a massive market of players (don't get on me sony fanboys... there are more xbox players than you that play online)
3: security of the systems seems better than PS3 (the playstation network getting hacked multiple times)
So say what you will... that's all I will say on the matter.
Minecraft (Mojang, Microsoft Studios): Known for its limitless possibilities, Minecraft will come to life this winter in a whole new way through the magic of Kinect and also feature cross-functionality between the PC and Xbox 360 versions.this is from xbox.com
What's wrong with wanting to make money? This is his full-time job!
Why is everybody getting so mad that Notch is doing things to try and make more money like seriously >_>
