Minecraft

Switches do stuff
If switches don't do want you want them to, use an inverter.
Bam, instant 32-bit computer.

Lol'd.

I should probably watch some vids.

 

[Brad]

It's coming to Xbox apparently Yay!

minecraft on kinect
why

 

[EpicGamer12]

Because it would draw more attention to people other than pc gamers.

Clearly a brilliant play to make as many people look stupid as possible. That and making you have to physically mine things, sooo you gain respect for real life miners. Imagine how tired your arms will get obtaining obsidian!

Um isn't it normal for something to release on many platforms at once... you know like most games? Once a game is done, porting though I can imagine could become annoying is really a minor thing compared to the rest. Besides it is announced at E3... most things announced there don't happen for a while.

i guess
meh

 

[Justin]

Yeah, it probably won't release until after the so called 'final' build in November for PC is finished.

 

[Brad]

I hope it'll have controller support.

 

[Vex L'Cour]

I hope it'll have controller support.

It already does for PC doesn't it? Pop your Xbox controller in and your done?

 

[Psychonaut]

yes, because that's how easy it is to set things up on a PC.
pop your xbox controller in and "your" done.
hundreds upon thousands of help threads on countless tech help sites can all be closed, you can just pop it in and be done with it, case closed.

 

[Bogmire]

lol Psy that was a little on the aggressive side.
Though really I can't believe Notch is being so fat that he has to wait until winter to add controller support. It can't take that long to just script it in there could it?
Then again Notch still can't figure out the one line of code that removes the .zip extension in the Texture Pack menu.

? ?...
No need to be jerkish. I don't own an Xbox so I wouldn't know.

Anyway, downloaded the Nether craft Mod so I have like special trees and stuff in the nether.

Just so you know Aeri, programs have to be specifically programmed to use a control scheme, it won't work otherwise. That includes plugging in a controller. The program won't magically detect and assign control schemes to fit the controller. Though, Notch really should add controller support and a more dynamic key assign function.
Just thought you'd like to know
Even though you probably don't care.

It's not being developed by notch on xbox.
And they have to add kinect support as well as controller support. Because Microsoft is cool like that

Thanks. I didn't know in the first place (Never hooked up a controller to my laptop).

 

[Sporge27]

I actually made the input system for my game project this last semester... and I could have had controller support, just with how the game worked on mouse and keyboard it became a little weird on the controller, and in the end not being able to find a scheme that felt right ended up taking it out. Though I know how to do and you can have the program detect a controller, and switch control schemes accordingly.

Also why are you guys giving Notch such crap, I mean he basically became a celebrity in the game industry. He probably gets tons of mail from utter strangers about how they like minecraft or what they want to see in it and what doesn't work. He is being asked to go to pretty much every game related convention and conference out there. The time he has to program is severely diminished purely because of its popularity. Starting one's own company takes some time too after all.

 

[Bogmire]

Well I'm giving him crap because I'm one of those nostalgiafags who remembers when he updated the game multiple times a week with fun new content. Now we're lucky to get one new item a month.
You know where Notch is now?
On a yacht.
In a hottub full of money.
While he's assigning Jeb to work on anything that doesn't steal his spotlight.
I'm so ungrateful.
