Talk:Xbox 360 Edition/Archive 2

Arcade or Indie?
Will this be released in the Xbox Live Arcade section of the XBLA store or the Indie section of the XBLA store? The reason I'm asking this is because you can't download or play games in the Indie section of the XBLA store in Australia.

?? Uses ??
Will online play be avalible? and if so will players be able to control or even create their own servers? It would be astonishing if gameplay for the 360 online was accessible to pc servers, or vise versa~ SuperNoobed

I personally think that it won't be a good gameplay of Minecraft on a Xbox 360 because you won't be able to point your cursor quickly to a block or a enemy, especially when you are getting hurt and your pointer moves randomly.

i also want to know if it will work with the controller. because i do not want to play this on the kinect. and for the person at the top... im sure they will have a sensitivity for the turning and stuff like most FPS. im just glad that this is coming to the 360 and will put fortress craft to shame!--Silverfox6000 01:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

yes im sure minecraft 360 will be a smash hit but what about the pocket edition wont it be a little hard to controll and also i agree with you siver fox forteress is a VERY big shame but keep totalminer in thought it stsrted off very much like mine craft but now its starting to go down its on ittle path and the creator of total miner didnt have people to help like notch did but he has done a very good job fixing bugs By:Jeffrey TDR add me on xbox(Jeffrey TDR) and ill get back to you soon beacuse im grounded seacrest out

Release Date
It is confirmed that Minecraft on XBLA will be released tomorrow (17th March 2012).However, it may be changed by Microsoft if it is found necessary.

Can I get a source? My xbox isn't showing me the download. EDIT: I didnt realize I saw it was March 17th when it was 12:00 AM. I'll wait a few hours :P

 * The IGN article has a small preview of what Notch sent. The actual image is gone from their site, but you can still see the preview here: http://media.ignimgs.com/media/thumb/348/3489867/minecraft-20110713025816439_thumb_ign.jpg.  Notch is an awesome artist. :D   Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 20:48, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Kinect
Will you have to play minecraft on the kinect or can you use a remote? (Ryanc165 16:36, 23 July 2011 (UTC)}

Kinect
Kinect will be optional

disc
Will you be able to get this on disc or do u have to have xbox live and is it only for kinect? (Ryanc165)
 * No disc it is a Live arcade Game, and it will be compatible with the standard controller.

Ps3/360
I think that minecraft will be on both consoles at some point in the future.. WHY? Xperia.. is a sony product and this new commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=d6FhtpcHrsU has a logo in it at 1:05 with "playstation certified". So why would it not hit ps3 soon after the 360 version? :o -- Throex  '''TALK 18:17, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Because there's a whole slew of licensing and bureaucratic red tape quite apart from the technical issues surrounding a PS3 port. If any such thing was being planned, I'm quite certain we'd've already heard about it from Notch or Jeb by now. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:27, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Sure we would have heard about it, unless microsoft made them sign a contract to be silent about other console releases so that the xbox could suck in all the glory of the first console with minecraft. Also..the SONY Xperia is a playstation product.. so why would it not hit PS3 in the future? -- Throex  '''TALK 20:25, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * If Mojang was under a strict gag order on a PS3 port, it wouldn't be from Microsoft, it would be from Sony (if there were a PS3 Minecraft port in the works, and Microsoft tried to keep Mojang from revealing it so that MS had a better chance of getting more profits from the Xbox Minecraft version, Sony would be all over them).
 * I'm not saying there will never be a version of Minecraft for the PS3. I am saying that, because we haven't heard word one from any official source about any such thing, there is almost certainly not one in the works at this moment. There is also a very big difference in terms of licensing between developing a game for Random Handheld Device #4783 and developing one for a name-brand console like the PS3 - while the Xperia Play is a Sony product to be sure, it runs the Android operating system and makes use of the Android app store/marketplace, which is entirely outside of Sony's control. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:33, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

trivia
The new trivia post that was made today is about Oblivion/Elder Scrolls.. Does anyone else think its a bad idea to have that listed considering the law suit going on right now? -- Throex  '''TALK 16:38, 16 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Why would it be a bad idea? The lawsuit has nothing to do with 4J Studios past work. Them porting TES IV to the Playstation 3 console is something notable and fits well in the trivia section as this shows that they have past experience with porting games to consoles. They are not part of Zenimax/Bethesda who are responsible for the lawsuit and I believe people will understand that. Kamrat 17:05, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Wrong release date
Somebody should really fix the release date. It isn't even out, but still the infobox says it was released on November 18th 2011. Also, it's pretty ridiculous, since literally one line above that, on the "Latest version" line, the information given is "Not yet released". Just pointing that out. 82.54.144.61 03:37, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure the infobox was a copypaste from the Pocket Edition article. It needs to updated, that's all. - Asterick6 01:12, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I just saw that they changed the release date to Marth 28th, got excited, i google it, and nothing, came back and it was changed to "Spring 2012" u_u -happiness destroyed- 200.56.140.86 04:35, 15 March 2012 (UTC)DalisDL

360 Interface/Gameplay in the Windows version
One epic thing would be to plug the 360 USB Controller in the computer, so the Windows version (I don't know if it would work on Mac) would be like the 360 version, with the same interface and gameplay.

Do you think Mojang will update the Windows version to be compatible with the 360 USB Controller when the 360 version will be released ?

skin import
I have heard on an early video that if you have an account than your skin will be imported to the xbox. Any truth to this? TTiscoming 01:43, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Kaplan mentioned skins will be editable but later in the future along with skin customization, we will be able to edit our own texture packs. and know i don't think our accounts will be linked to the 360 version until the massive 2 month update is over.
