New Minecraft 360 Box Art Revealed
Daniel Kaplan of Mojang just now tweeted the new cover art for the XBOX 360 version of Minecraft. We've taken a look at the upcoming console port in the past, and it is well on its way to living up to the hype of its computer-based predecessor. In addition, you can view a video released by Hat Films showing off some teasers of the game - as well as highlights of the Mojang team - by downloading it to your 360 console, or by clicking this link.
With the console release fast approaching, steady updates continuously coming out for the PC version, and a rapidly expanding pocket edition, Minecraft seems nearly unstoppable. What do you think some of the best parts of having Minecraft on the 360 will be? Tell us about it!
Stronghold 2 (by Vareide) is Out!
Earlier in the week, we had a chance to show you a video made by Minecraft legend Vareide - and now, the second installment of the series is out! Barring jokes about pigs dropping beef, the player continues his journey of self-discovery, only to run into tell-tale signs of a piece of Minecraft mythos almost as old as the game itself...
Cool. I think the best part will be the game itself. People who are not really pc gamers can finally get the feel of minecraft on their own console, which in this case is the Xbox. I might as well buy it for no reason lol. Already got it on the pc. Well can't wait. Oh and also for some reason it looks much ore real on the Xbox. Maybe because of the graphics that the Xbox can produce. Not really sure about the mods either. Might not be AS great but still cool.
The best part is something I can't say :/. I don't like microsoft games, and I don't like the way they run Xbox Live. I wish they converted it for the PS3, and not the Xbox. But I already have it on the PC so... I can't complain.

Why hello there sir... look into my eyes, and then... you shall see... the end. ~ Quote from Enderman.
Two things. One is that I can finally play with my friends without having to go through all that port forwarding nonsense. Two, I won't get horrible FPS anymore! I have to wait for Optifine to catch up to every release otherwise I only get like 10 FPS.
I can't wait for it for a three reasons:
1. no little kids are going to be playing it (obviously, because theres no guns )
2. Lack of lag! I can't tell you how many times I've come back from mining like 8 diamonds and that lagspike comes and I fall into that precariously placed lava pool.
3. Multiplayer will be much easier. Now you won't even have to port forward to start a multiplayer server, but I don't know about management and anti-griefing measures

At 10 FPS you're either playing on a pc equivalent to a N64 or your rig is not meant for gaming.
And sure maybe no port forwarding. But how will 360's set up servers with so little memory? 512mb? Most servers have 8-16gb
I can't see how the 360 version will be able to keep the pc quality of gameplay (lag, fps, smp) without decreasing the quality of graphics, draw distance, lighting, etc.

I really hope it comes out on xBox and PS3!

Just have to love it when someone changes the specs when comparing with and without optifine..
But I wonder, how could you have a server run constantly without paying for it?
You dont wanna leave your xbox on, it's really bad for it.
