E3: Minecraft Coming to Xbox 360 With Kinect
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
To give an example to people.
Final Fantasy XI
It's an MMO available on the Xbox 360 which has periodical updates/patches/tweaks/new stuff released every 2 - 3 months. None of it is charged for, the only thing that is paid for is the monthly subscription fee (doesn't even need Gold, can be played with a Silver account) and the Expansions / Mini Expansions which are paid for the same price on the PC anyway. (the Mini-Expansions are also account-wide so you only need to buy it once to access it on all platforms.
Finally the game is playable with a party on the 360, PC, and PS2. The only thing not done is mods but that's because SE has a VERY strict any-mod stance towards their game.

but yeah. consoles never get any mods. i dont use them, though. so ill be playing this on xbox as well.
and boy am I glad it is (unending hate for that game).imnotparanoid said:
OT: I dont think I'll get it because for 1 I'm a bit confused about updates and how the servers would work and I already own it for the PC making it already pretty damn good. If I did pick it up for some bizzare reason I might get a sprained ankle but my calf's would look damn good
C'mon, why'd you have to go there?John Funk said:
Anyway, I'm just wondering if i'll have to pay for it on xbox as well. Probably, but I can hope
(Annoyingly I just bought it for PC yesterday)
Also, kinect integration seems kinda arbitrary, doesn't really seem to lend itself to that particular peripheral
Can't get Minecraft to work on my laptop, and it'll be a fair while till I can get a new one (though there's no word in the article about when Minecraft will hit the Xbox 360), so I'll be happy for this to come along.
Notch reveals another facet of his business craftiness. Shame 360er's will have to wait until it is actually done to play it.
I await the home video of the following:
"I'm a dwarf and I'm digging a hole...diggy diggy hole...CREEPER!" *runs into wall*

I´m a console gamer for the most part, but in Minecrafts case I´ll stick to mouse and keyboard. Building stuff takes ages with a controller. And Kinect... I´m lazy.
Same way with every other game made for PC and ported to consoles. Cutting corners.player3141 said:

No thanks, I already bought it once. Seeing as how I doubt porting it to Xbox will expand it's functionality beyond the inability to play online without paying for it, I'll stick to the PC.
Seriously, though. You could run Minecraft on a calculator, if you wanted, aside from vastly limiting yourself and others enjoyment of the game why would you play it on anything else?

Notch said that if you registered or bought the game during Alpha, Notch said you would get any free DLC and updates for the game for life.
Do any of you think this may crossover to the Xbox?
....oh God please I hope so.
