If Mojang has signed a exclusive deal with Microsoft's XBone console they have just cost themselves a lot of money and lost the respect of many gamers.

Again, as you can pSee, the Xbone is not receiving the best of recognition.

Recognition?
Oh, it's recieving plenty of recognition. Reception however...

Like I mentioned on other sites, I'm very likely not going to get the Xbox One, mostly because of it's compatibility issues; the new Xbox wont be backwards compatible, at all, with any game, downloadable or physical disc. At least the PS4 will have downloadable backwards compatibility (downloading older games through the store), and the Wii U has backwards compatibility on disc and through downloads, if you count all the downloads, it goes back to the Neo Geo. The only thing the Xbox One really has for it is the new Kinect.
Anyways, as long as they continue updating the 360 version, I'm game though.


My school's computer has Halo 1. It's

1. Not that great and
2. Still doesn't make up for the lack of newer games, including newer Halo versions, CoD versions, and other games.

Did you just say.... that COD was better than halo 1...

Please... Leave the internet, and never come back.

The Xbox One looks pretty terrible from what I've heard, so maybe Minecraft is so good that it offers some compensation for buying the console?

Very cool, however, I doubt I'll end up getting an Xbox One.

Ehh the console wars aren't over so I don't have a definite opinion but I did find this http://pastebin.com/uCmdh9jB not sure if its true but if it is those restrictions aren't that bad. Oh it says some f-bombs so if your a child don't read it.

Good news for the 5 people that will buy an xbone!

Will us 360 players get new features too? Or is this stuff exclusive to the console no one wants

well, i must say something about this, i think Mojang made an error when they gave minecraft to Xbox One...

You guys know why its called the Xbox One right?

Because only one person will have it.....

Nice game; poor system. This game makes me want a Xbox One but I am still not going to buy one due to high price, DRM to the extreme, and the better system out there. I keep wondering why they don't release it for something like the Wii U which would be perfect since it has that second screen and the console doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Even the PS4 would be a better choice to put this game on but as it currently stands; I don't think this game will sell as good as they expect it to on the Xbox One. Just my 2 cents...

Hmmm, never thought about MC for the WiiU, that second screen, could be used in interesting ways. On topic: I love Minecraft but not enough to put up with the crap that M$ is doing with the Xbox 1.

There also relying on Killer Instinct
A remake that alot of gamers wanted
and It's still not working
Microsoft is just digging it's own grave at this point

Killer Instinct REALLY didn't work when it was discovered that it was a lousy download only F2P title where you only get 1 character for free and you have to buy the rest!

Hell no, I said having Halo 1 doesn't make up for not having CoD or newer Halo games, or newer games in general.

Even though im a big xbox user, the amount of problems that are being discovered and the limitations of it like you must require an internet connection to me is just astronomical. I think i may see myself getting the PS4 and i hope for the future Mojang may get MC on the PS4 systems.

LOL, I find it hilarious that the XBox One is Microsoft's "next big thing". The Xbox One was nothing more than a publicity stunt. And it failed. Big time.

One the other hand, take a look at Apple's (not meaning to start an argument) latest masterpiece.
http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/

What apple created: Possibly the fastest personal computer ever created, with completely new and innovative technologies.

What MicroSoft created: A crappy "gaming" console that uses Modern technologies to attempt to surpass all other consoles yet miserably and utterly failing at achieving such.

Being a Mac user, I've gotten a personal head-start at the massive hate thats headed towards MicroSoft. Good day!

That's great!
Now the 5 people who buy that peice of bulldung will be able to play Minecraft when they're connected to the internet!

Wow! Now there will be tons of new people playing Minecraft! Wait, one small problem. NO ONE WILL BUY THE XBOX ONE!

All this hate for the xbox one, and half the people who hate the xbox because of their "policies" need to do some research instead of spreading these lies which you believe to be true.
the games being made on the xbox one will use the cloud to improve the way games are played, thus internet connection is required. People are just blind if they dont see how much this will improve games, allowing devs to upload and tweak games on the fly.
And why would anyone want to do business with gamestop when they try to screw you when it comes to trade ins? When you buy new, the developer gets the $$, which results in better income for the devs which leads to better content the game company can offer.
Not to mention that the price for these new, extremely detailed games is more than 5x the average of what they were 8 years ago. thats why we see so many free-to-play games popping up, the 60$ at the door business model is failing.

But I guess you cant get mad at people for being undereducated.

There is, however, a difference between having games on the cloud and having a required internet connection. The cloud-based system is the same for Steam, and that's what they're basing it off of. However Steam allows you to play offline, whereas the Xbox one does not; you must be connected online once every 24 hours in order to continue playing. The cloud may allow developers to tweak on the fly, but that advantage flies out the window completely if online connection is required. Had it been that the connection wasn't required to play the games, people wouldn't be complaining, but it is literally required to play the games. Not just get updates to the games, but to literally play the games.
