UPDATE: Notch confirms separate team is working on the Minecraft for XBOX Live Arcade. More details to follow later.
The game, based on the images shown at the press conference, retains its classic graphics style. One huge reveal for the console port, however, is that it's coming complete with Kinect functionality.
This looks to be a big week for Minecraft, as the mobile version will be demoed on the Xperia Play during the E3 Expo as well.
If you'd like to hear it yourself, it's around the 1:30 mark.
Be sure to follow Curse's E3 coverage this week!
That means the PC version will keep and stay updated. If the Xbox version gains survival Minecraft instead of Classic, that means any updates for the Xbox360 will be handled with a separate team. This addition won't delay any upcoming PC versions. Or at least, I hope.
I also think that Minecraft (or at least the Xbox Minecraft) will be changed so much... I hope that's not going to happen.
Did you even read the thread?
Notch confirms separate team is working on the Minecraft for XBOX Live Arcade.
Anyway, calm your tits.
A. There's already a lot of kids playing minecraft.
B. There's already a lot of xbox owners (like me) playing minecraft
and
C. You are acting like fanboys by complaining that everyone that isn't you is a fanboy.
D. A lot of games are made multiplatform in development, and those turn out just fine.
E. Minecraft is great. Why keep it to yourselves?
F. Minecraft doesn't use THAT many buttons, it would translate well to a controller.
G. I use a 360 controller with Xpadder to play minecraft sometimes. I'm was raised on the NES, you know?
H. It won't be more tiresome to use a controller, since there would be less movement.
I.I've only encountered a handful of kids on Xbox Live, and they weren't too unreasonable. They didn't grief at every second. That honour belongs to the adults.
J.The lack of servers may turn out to be helpful, if they put up minecraft dedicated servers.
L. they have not announced a GOSH-DARNED thing yet, so be reasonable at wait.
Honestly, it's so exasperating I had to make an account just to say that.
I AGREE MAN PLUS BETTER RESOLUTION!!!!!
Why are you disappointed in Notch.
Just saying but most things come out for the 360 first, then they release it for the PS3 later. I'm glad they are releasing it for the 360 first. And the people they have working on the port are the same people that ported Oblivion to PS3. So Minecraft will come to PS3 eventually. Yay, I get to play on my 360 more often!!! I am not a fanboy, I play more on the PS3 then on the 360.
I agree with you. Especially with PS3 being reserved a lot (previous experiences with PS3). Yes, you will be able to use the original 360 controller to play Minecraft. It would be very unfortunate if it was just for the Kinect cause me and you don't have one!
Sonic 06 was pushed for release (for the holidays of course) and in turn left with tons of horrible glitches and overall flaws.
The PC version of Minecraft doesn't seem close to being done imo. There's just thousands of things that could be added to the game. It doesn't seem complete to me at all. Yet, they want to get an entire Xbox release out by this winter?
Pfft.
BTW, Nice job Notch.
If you mean Xbox LIVE GOLD, then for Online multiplayer you'll need it, I'm guessing. That's usually how Microsoft does it.
As far as LAN multiplayer goes, I'm assuming you won't even need a LIVE account other than your Xbox Gamer Profile... provided there is Local/LAN capability for multiplayer.
The PSN wasn't hacked by an 15 year old.
You forgot COD.
