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!
Microsoft consumes small independent gameing firms. Happened to Rareware and it was a tragic downward spiral for them! Don't be the next Rareware, you guys have so much promise!
honestly if i were to pay a second time to play the same game on the xbox i wouldn't be buying minecraft; i'd buy fortresscraft. since i have no interest in either for the 360 though, i'll probably sit right here and play the good version.
So, to sum it all up...I think that Minecraft 360 is a good idea and i will most likely get it so i can play multiplayer with my friends on Xbox 360 and on PC, and even though Minecraft 360 will not have a modding function i still want to play without mods, like the way Minecraft should be played, BUT if i want to play Minecraft with mods, then i have the PC version. Plus it will be a new experience with Minecraft AND Xbox. So for all you haters out there, its still the Minecraft that we have all come to love, just on a different platform and without mods.
I guess making ridiculous amounts of money is looked down upon in the Minecraft community.
that would make sense...if mojang was actually working on the xbox version. mojang is only working on the code for PC. There are other teams for the other platforms. For example, Microsoft is doing all the coding for Minecraft on Xbox, but notch is just telling them what he wants in the game.
honestly if i were to pay a second time to play this kind of game on the xbox i wouldn't be buying minecraft; i'd be buying fortresscraft. when gta IV came out, i didn't buy it for the xbox, the ps3, and the pc for 150, i bought it for one system for 50 bucks the same as everyone else did. if i'm going to spend more money to play something on a seperate system, i'd sooner spend it on something different than something exactly the same.
i don't think porting this to the xbox is a dumb idea, for the players that don't game on pc it would be smart of mojang to compete with fortresscraft, but it seems beyond pointless for anyone who already has the superior pc version to buy it again at a loss of features. after all you can only play one at a time, so one of them is going to be a waste of money if you never play it.
i'll stick to the version worth every penny~
you have the coolest profile pic ive ever seen! Its really cool!!
I wonder if I'll have to pay again though, notch did say we would get all further versions for free. =(
But I wouldn't mind paying again. :3
I believe the game is being developed by 4j studios btw. i just hope there will be few if any differences from the pc version to the xbox version
this however wont be the case if Mojang's system optimazations during this code freeze will affect my playability on the pc
