Is it just me, or is anyone else sick to death of this argument? Or is it just me.
My thoughts:
Minecraft DID NOT rip off infiniminer. Yes infiniminer is about mining/building in an open world, and yes, minecraft's survival test is a rip off of it, but guess what? Look at indev (first paid vierson of minecraft), crafting (which infiniminer did not have) Inventory, and a whole host of new features. Anyone playing indev and then infiniminer would not say that minecraft was a rip off of infiniminer, since minecraft has too many additions. However, from all i have seen of the fortresscraft vids, it's a HD minecraft classic. Classic, as in the free version of minecraft. And it's asking money for this. I'm not against the game, but it's like say, if coke decided randomly to make half of it's cans free. Would you, if they are both at the same store, get the free one or the one what costs money? No brainer for me.
Also, from looking at fortresscraft's community, it is full of CoD players, you know, that people who think half life is crap because you don't get to shoot someone the second minute of the single player. I don't think that a game like fortresscraft/minecraft will hold their attention for long, When it comes out and they buy it, they will probably play it once, get bored and quit. forever.
My last argument is to do with World of Warcraft:
You know how WoW has slaughtered any rivals it has? Do you know why that is? It is because WoW has 10 years of development and polish behind it. No game has that much development behind it, and as such, no game could feel as polished. Same with fortresscraft and minecraft. Fortresscraft has a much shorter development time, and because of that, it is basically impossible that it could be as good as minecraft. All i see fortresscraft doing is opening up the Xbox users to minecraft, and then have said players realise how much more polished minecraft is.
That said, i can not talk about the full version of fortresscraft, i can only talk about the fortresscraft that i have seen in adds, i have no idea weather the final version of fortress craft will look like, or if it is better than minecraft. I have no idea.
