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!
Is there anyone who can translate this odd language? It's clearly not english...
I just hope I can load my world from PC MC to Xbox 360 MC. Otherwise my interest on Xbox 360 MC will be passive. I think playing MC on the Kinect could be interesting as novelty. I own a PS3 too. I don't know why anyone would think MC would be better on anything other than PC. That being said, I don't see any reason to be hating on any other medium getting MC. From the look of this thread, plenty of Ftards are already present here.
I totally agree dude this is gonna be epic
UNEDUMAKATED*
the PS3 being hacked has nothing to do with it. The only reason I could see it being an xbox-only console port (not exclusive, because it's also on PC) is because microsoft paid him for it to be an xbox-only console port. I have both an xbox and PS3, and I'd much rather play it on my PS3. It'd be better if he even had PSMove support if it ever did go to PS3 as well.
I'm still gonna buy it for my xbox, though.
:dry.gif: i say it should be for WII xbox360 is 1 thing kinect is somthing else.
Anyways, just to add my two cents to all this, here are some of my thoughts.
1. I really hope it has controller support as well, I don't own a Kinect.
2. You can't really complain about Griefers when they exist in every form in a game.
3. There is a separate team working on it, so that throw's the slow update idea out of the window.
4. You can't really expect the brats(not the legit mature players) who no-life CoD or other online games to flood these forums, when you already have alot of PC brats(again, not the mature players) who flood the forums with rants and arguments and trolling.
5. I do kinda think it's a bit unfair for it to just be on Xbox(that's right I own a Wii as well), I'm a guy a fairness, I think everyone should be able to play minecraft. :biggrin.gif:
6. Cake is good.
7. It's still going to be on the PC, can't we all just get along?
1: Notch might stop development for the computer version
2: Xbox Fanboys will act like their the best players and that the PC and Mac users players are "Noobs"
3: Notch might make Minecraft like almost every other Xbox game. The Xbox Minecraft might have guns and vehicles , wonderful graphics, and Multiplayer like Modern Warfare, but hopefully it doesn't
I think we Should Protest the Xbox Version, so we should create a boycott, and not buy the Xbox version. I hope you agree with me.
Notch, what have you done... <_<
They'll pay Mojang to sign a contract saying all Minecraft updates will come to Xbox first. (Meaning we'll have to wait longer than the Xbox fanboys for our new content).
Microsoft will release paid DLC-type "mods" and content packages exclusively for Xbox.
Microsoft will use the possible previously stated contract to delay and or halt entirely the development of Minecraft for PC and Mac; this is improbable though, as the Xbox and PC versions would most likely be built off of the same Java code and platform.
I'm not hating on Notch, I think he's just doing it for the fans (and of course, the money), but this won't help the PC community. It's possible that it wouldn't affect the PC community at all, but who knows.
I also would hate to see the day that the Xbox noobs flood the Minecraft community. Oh, kill me now. :|
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks Microsoft is going to change Mojang and their internal development culture.
As I've said earlier, I just hope it doesn't adversely impact the modding community, but we'll see.
On the positive side, all of these offers and new platforms for the game sort of show that Minecraft has broken through and been recognized by the game industry as a significant player.
