E3: Minecraft Coming to Xbox 360 With Kinect

[Accountfailed]

And no PS3 love notch? Horseshit.

I can see the headline:

"Child kills parent with a pickaxe after playing minecraft with kinect

Exerts say the child became dangerously addicted to minecraft and tried to mine their mother's head for stone....."

 

[VincentX3]

I can see the war coming already...

I'm still sticking to PC obviously, dought the 360 will get any mods.

Yeah, but I just hope people who have bought the game on PC will be able to play it for free on Xbox.

Namely, me.

And you never know, Notch could be the first to release a "best of" pack of mods and texture packs.

Namely you? Are you special??

And why would they make the 360 version free if you have it on PC? Just because you buy a PC version of any game, they will never give you a 360 version for free and vice-versa.

finally i have a reason to actually buy a Kinect. doubt i will until it either drops in price or ALOT more games become available for it, (looking forward to E3 then)

I'll only play on the 360 if I don't have to pay for the game again.

Ditto.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

i got the Duke Nukem Demo on the Xbox for buying Borderlands on Steam... so i don't see why not.

im guessing if they do, then it will be through MineCraft.net where you log in, and get a code for redeeming on the Xbox. i dont know if this is what they will do, im just saying they safely could do it, and knowing Notch (he's a nice guy right) they should do.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

I hope it can be played using a normal 360 controller... has that been confirmed yet?
They didn't really specify in the press conference.

One question regarding the Kinect: How the hell are you supposed to MOVE AROUND?

Its a trick!
thousands will eagerly buy it, and after a while you realise you cant move the game fades to a Rick Roll!
ITS A CONSPIRACY! WHY DO YOU PEOPLE NOT S-

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Huh. Well, I'm not worried.

Minecraft will always inherently be superior on PC, and (because it's Micro$oft) the 360 will have NO FREE UPDATES!

It all depends on how updates are handled. While Microsoft generally wants people to pay for additional content, if the developer can fit the changes into a title update this issue can be circumvented entirely.

 

[Svenparty]

Obviously this will be an xbox live game or you'll need an Internet connection on your 360? If so: NOOOOOOOOO if not: Count me in!

 

[C95J]

hmmm, could be interesting, but I am not sure how they would do most things if it is for Kinect. Then again I don't have Kinect so I wouldn't understand much of it anyway.

Since the only games my shite laptop can run are Minecraft, Terraria and some crappy game that are 10 years old, I will be sticking with Minecraft on my laptop. No need to get it on my Xbox 360 really.

 

[Mackinator]

I already have Minecraft though, so I wont be getting it just for Kinect! Looks interesting though. Notch is top Notch

 

[Deshin]

I think I'm going to end up buying it for the 360. If my guess is correct it'll be an XBLA title and will allow you to sign in on your existing accounts and perhaps host your maps for you cloud style.

I love me some minecraft on the pc but after a while I get back problems so it'd be nice to transfer over to the couch/bed and play around a bit there. Depending how well they implement it of course, I'm not particularly fussed about mods and the like and have faith most of the "good" stuff will be implemented by Mojang themselves towards the end of the game and then release their own in-house mod packages as well as mojang-approved popular mods from the fanbase.

 

[Volafortis]

Cool to see that people that don't have a PC can finally get to see what I've been talking about!

Sit down sir. I was not intending to point out only me, just use me as an example. Many people would have Xbox and MC accounts corresponding to the same email account, maybe some kind of check could be done so said people did not have to pay twice.

 

[Korusho]

Oh god whats going to happen when you want to dig out that 1k x 1.2k room for your underground shrines?

 

[Ghengis John]

"Your arms are huge! You must work out."
"I play minecraft on Kinnect."

If this conversation happens once, something is right with the universe.

 

[Denamic]

I can't see this being... good.
Minecraft is a game you just 'get into' and play in a daze for hours upon hours as you build your doom fortress with lava moats.
I can't imagine the game having that effect when you have to flail around.
It'd be way better with ye olde gamepads.

 

[roostuf]

soo minecraft and fortresscraft are now on xbox hmmm, i smell desperation.

 

[lvl9000_woot]

Meh.

I doubt I'll play it on xbox and I'm happy playing it just on the PC. I don't see the ability to use the kinect making the game more fun then it already is.

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*

and then Israphel hits them with arrows in real life right?
