Minecraft for Xbox 360 Will Have Some Changes

4.6
After a surprising announcement at E3—-Minecraft coming to the Xbox 360—-many questioned how the game would play differently from the famed PC version.
In an interview with IGN, Minecraft creator Markus Persson revealed new details about the upcoming 360 version:
“The 360 version with be a new product based of the PC version of Minecraft. It will be designed to work better on a console and to focus on the types of experiences you expect when playing games on a game console. As an example of something that will change, the crafting needs to be done completely different. The current type of crafting with a game controller would be about as fun as name-entry is.”
He added, “I don’t dare answer any more of the questions, other than to say that I’m trying very hard to make sure we have a setting you can turn on that turns the game into what everyone is joking about; you wave your arms around to mine and use items. It’s just too silly not to include. Punching trees from the comfort of your living room has never been this immersive before.”
Later in the interview, Persson was asked if there was a possibility of a PS3 version. Persson only said, “I have been instructed not to reply to this question, so here’s a picture of a sheep instead.” He then jokingly followed with an actual drawing of a sheep.

This will be awesome. I can actually play this with my friends, and work for things instead of failtress craft, where i accidentally click the wrong button and delete part of my house.

Ok this is Better than fortress craft Becuase fortress craft isnt made buy Marcus and his team its made by some Xbox Indie person Useing the XNA also it was meant to be competative play whereas minecraft was the origanl not in this Genre Infinimainer was the first but Notch built minecraft on the idea of building and mining.

Also Minecraft on the 360 Cheaper than any other game Becuase solely it is an indie game.

Minecraft is really laggy on my pc... but there is a indie game like Mnecraft:(totalminer):forge only 240MSP and it's just like this but less laggy... fortresscraft sucks major penis...
hopefully minercraft on xbox 360 wont be laggy...

ClutchMasterDee really if minecraft comes to xbox i will be pissed cuz i got fortresscraft and that is the same in some ways when minecraft first came out but if fortress comes out with more things better than minecraft then i will be happy
Fortresscraft is NOTHING compared to Minecraft. Minecraft is superior in EVERY WAY.
