Minecraft for Xbox 360 pushed to spring 2012

what day do it go out and how much do it cost in uk money

"There's my private garden......its all medicinal" lmao

Witcher 2 on xbox will be like COD on the Wii compared to \PC

this game is going to be awesome i dont care what people say it will be a hit and hopefully mojang will keep the game up to date with a ton of new stuff!!

So how exactly will private servers work over Live, if we are all on the same servers nothing will ever get built considering the huge amounts of griefers it would be chaos.

I'm looking forward to playing this. Also hoping that having ports of this will open the consoles up to more PC-centric sub-genres like MOBA, etc. Rant to come on that later.

All I care about is being able to play over Xbox Live with my friends. If it can do that then I would be a very happy fellow.

@Snaptrap I didn't think the 360 could run this game. ************************************************************** What!?!? The XBox 360 is getting Witcher 2. That alone should tell you something about the XBox 360's power. It runs most 3rd party games better then the PS3. I think the issue is probably converting it into the XBox Live network since everyone will be on the same servers.

this will be a money grab like most xbox live games. having to pay for the smallest dlc addons while the PC version is virtually free with almost unlimited possibilities of addons. hope im wrong and this comes with constant updates which don't cost a ton to get.

@Blank2k2 The mods could be implemented in appended code by way of title updates to the xbox 360 and they could be enabled/disabled by toggled options akin to what was done with the mods for Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict

These mods up here are very funny. If you post something about a topic, that they may not agree with, they will hide the msg, or even knock you down a point.My previous post was hidden, said it didn't meet display criteria? I mentioned Minecraft, which is what the topic is about. I mentioned that it may be being pushed back to polish the graphics, which the topic was about it being delayed. Hmm.....mods are on a power trip.

@shadow580 I'm sure of that. I'm aware that Minecraft isn't at all focused around graphics, or crisp textures, rather more towards creativity,and freedom. I was being sarcastic earlier.Whew...

I don't think that it will be a patch on the PC version because a BIG part of what keeps Minecraft fresh is the mods. I think that a lot of people will be disappointed because they'll expect it to be on par with the PC version.

I truly feel something like this game becomes too limited when confined to a console. It worked on the PC because of how open ended the platform is. Hell, Minecraft on that new Sony gaming phone completely hindered the experience and made it nigh impossible to enjoy. Besides, Minecraft's lasting appeal is questionable. It works in the PC community. I don't see this game doing well with console audiences (myself included). It's fun on the PC.

minecraft

I don't know what's good about this game...hey maybe it could be kinect-compatible it would be awesome!

Minecraft on xbox eh, I hope I manage to buy it without accidentally buying The Elder Scrolls... ;)

It says it's kinect enabed...does't mean it's only for kinect right? I want to try this game out seeing as my friend keeps badgering on about it for the pc

I'm really glad this random nobody was able to create a game in 2010 with even worse graphics than Doom 2 and for it to be extremely popular despite it's glaringly horrible graphical appeal but seriously.... they're bringing it to Xbox 360? Why?

i honestly have no idea what Minecraft even is...

As the Hellion from Starcraft 2 would say it: "HELLLLLLL YEAH!!!!" Hmmm, hopefully my PS3 brethren will have access to this to. (So I have both consoles.)

I read the headline and literally yelled 'NO!' I'd been looking forward very much to it launching this year. Ahh well...

Trying to get more casual gamers to get into the power of the X!?! lol, release some REAL games please D:

"Zombie Jesus"? Yeesh, of all the things that could pique my interest in this game..."zombie jesus"...I must be messed up, lol.

@ratchet200 But it's perfectly OK for Xbox to be left out, right?

@burgergio Thing is Minecraft has already been on the PC for over 2 years. Even if Xbox is the only console to get Minecraft, it definitely won't be an exclusive for you.

Once again the PS3 gets left out...

xbox could run two of these games.

LOL at Xbox 360 can't run this game hahaha. Only reasons why Xbox 360 doesn't have more PC games is because of the closed strict xbox live network. I don't know why PS3 doesn't have more PC games, only reason I can think of is the PS3 CPU.

I didn't think the 360 could run this game.

@BURGERgio Cause it's Minecraft. If it was some brand new, never before heard of indie title going exclusive to the 360 I wouldn't have cared one bit, but Minecraft? Needs to be shared with aaallll.

Minecraft coming to 360. Will be buying since I been dying to try Minecraft out.

Minecraft on PC is incredibly addictive, borderline dangerous game.. the horrendous textures and the minor "flaws" in the game are easily ironed out with a couple of mods & a texture pack, and when your bored of it download another mod and within a couple of minutes you've got a dozen new things to build and experiment with. Unfortunately "Vanilla" Minecraft is abit straining to play with and unless your an artist who likes to make things with simply whats given to him, you'll keep thinking "If only i had, or if only i could" - a thought which is easily remedy'd for the PC in form of a mod... but, impossible to do for the 360. This is the reason a console won't be much good for Minecraft, on the PC however Minecraft has limitless potential.

Apparently they have delayed it to incorporate Frostbite 2.0

PS3 already has many good exclusives, why can't xbox have a few?

look at the image at the beginning of the video Sweet Zombie Jesus!

I wonder if this will NEED to have a kinect or not

i wonder if its going to cost 1200 or even 1600 ms points

Really, I don't care. Minecraft won't be as good on the consoles do to the lack of mods and texture packs. Also, anyone who owns an Xbox 360 probably owns a PC. It doesn't matter its age, you can really play Minecraft with anything. I'm not hating on the Xbox or anything, but I really think of this as being kind of pointless. But whatever floats Mojang's boat. I'm just fine with my copy of Minecraft for PC. :D

@prohogo2 lol, can you imagine Minecraft using auto-aim on the xbox 360?

@godzillavskong the game isn't about graphics at all. It's about scale and creativity. It's no wonder kids like it because they are not as obsessed about graphics as the rest of us.

That's ok that it's been delayed for a bit longer because I can't keep up with all the games now. I'm really looking forward to checking this game out when it finally does hit the 360 though.

I can't imagine this game without a mouse. But then again, consolekids play shooters with gamepads lol.

A simple solution, buy it on PC now and wait no more! Truly, only the lowest end computers can't run Minecraft well (My horrible laptop is one of them...curse you HP!!). And as others have mentioned, mods are readily available for the PC version - though to be honest, I have owned Minecraft since late Alpha and have yet to try any mods. I still keep going back to it as is vanilla! But make no doubt, with mods this game can become insanely complex (And don't mistake the blocky graphics for it being simplistic currently, it's just hidden underneath - like designing contraptions and the like).

Honestly, I'm fine with minecraft on my PC. Anyone looking for a MC experience on 360 should just hit the indies section, there's a few good rip-offs there that'll cost you under $5.

manciuxl: Halo 4 isn't coming out in Spring 2012.

I don't have a lot of money right now anyway, so I'm cool with waiting around. Also, I dislike mods. I'm sorry, some of us just don't care about mods. I agree with Poodge - the game alone is a canvas worth many hours of fun. Another advantage of the console version, is that the PC version doesn't seem to play very well on my laptop, and I've heard other people have had the same problem.

spring 2012? when halo 4 comes out? bad strategy just saying.....

Wow. I don't see what the big draw is with these titles, although both of my son's love it. I guess they need more time to polish the graphics. lol
