Minecraft delayed, also coming to Xbox 360

The immensely popular PC sandbox game Minecraft was supposed to leave beta status on November 11, 2011 but that date has been pushed back. Mojang Studios is changing the release…

Oh, please. Xbox Live already has Fortresscraft, which is an exact replica of Minecraft. What about PSN? We need an indie game.

This game is a bigger waste of time than World of Warcraft.

Aren't all games a waste of time?

M$ paid for the exclusive rights, that's the only reason one would go exclusive and it a shame PSN owners lose out, however, I also can't imagine a 360 processor trying to run minecraft that even my i7 stutters with some rare times let alone a ATI Xenos... no fancy graphics for you!

Because playstation is horrible and I'd imagine they don't feel like wasting their time with it.

xclusiveitalian - the xbox 360 will handle it better than an i7. It has 3 cores with 3.2ghz each! Learn about the xbox then post!

Oh, I'm sure plenty of people have learned what running an Xbox CPU at 100% for an extended period of time will do.

Besides you can easily OC the i7 to 3.2 with a stock cooler.

Lol Fortress Craft is a joke. It's nothing like Minecraft, just a failed rip off.

You can also easily overclock your xbox360 to a nuclear fusion reactor.

I will never understant why minecraft is fun, not matter what people say.

"Aren't all games a waste of time?"
Are you kidding me? Seriously? Go play Portal 2 right now. Go. I'll wait. Then we'll see if you still hold that opinion.

mine craft is a game for a computer

it would be like makin mario on the ps3, it wouldnt be the same

Notch is just taking Microsoft's cash to work on the PC version, which well remain the crown jewel of the series.

High cpu power isn't going to do much good in Minecraft. You need a good video card.

It will be interesting if & how it handles texture packs...especially high res ones.

can someone explain to me what exactly is so great about this game? it just seems like a very basic game with nintendo64-like graphics from what I've seen so far, Im not bashing it or anything I just cant see what all the hype is about, a little insight would be great, the fact that you need a good gpu as someone stated earlier is also baffling to me considering the graphics seen inscreenshots

so true xbox could hadle it

Trust me I know everything that is inside the Xbox, and PS3 they both can't handle the game that my computer destroys 10 times over. Your xbox has a GPU equivalent to a nvidia 7900 lmaooo which is why Notch is really going to have to downsize the game that is already really basic looking.

Don't let the graphics fool you it's actually a very fun game that is all gameplay.

I just don't get why this ugly and trashy game needs such a powerful machine to run right

If you have ever played with Lego Blocks, you will understand the appeal. MC provides an endless world for exploration and interaction. You can build anything you want. The mod groups are producing some very interesting mods that can make anyones head spin. Its a game that if you look just at the cover you will be put off, but if you dive in and try it you wont be able to stop.

Multiplayer works, you can work with a group of people to build very complex cities.

Its hard to explain really, if you could try it, do it. Its an experiance that should be in many MMOs IMO.

Hope this helps.

Minecraft is really awesome ! the game is seriously as smart and creative as you can be! so if for you this game sucks then you probably suck too lol
