[idiocy]Of course not, console peasants must have pro graphics or "arty" label on their game, they dont know what does it mean just playing with something and they need to have their game linear as movies and if they have open world it must be the kindergarden style.[/idiocy]
Sure, why not?

No for one simple reason, Microsoft wouldn't allow all the free updates (Plus it's already awesome on PC).
I've never played Minecraft, so I wouldn't know. Quite frankly, all this talk of the game and what it brings has only made me not want to play it further. It may be fun to some people, but it just looks bland from my perspective.
Oh well, life goes on.

There's absolutely no reason to port this one to the consoles. It will run on virtually any computer and I just can't see it work on the consoles without frustration since you don't have the same mobility you do on the PC. Imagine building a castle using a controller. It would be a nightmare.
I'm for it.
It would give console players a chance to try it out. And to irritate some of the extreme PC fans.

It's in Java... he'd probably have to reprogram the entire thing in a hostile environment to port it to a console.spartan1077 said:I don't know about everyone who is going to bre reading this but I've spent hours and I mean hours on some 8-bit game called Minecraft. And I need MORE! But it is still in Alpha(soon to be beta)and what I think is that once the full game with not many bugs is there- we should have a Xbox Live Arcade Minecraft. I figured out some reasons why as well. These are;
1. Control Scheme- Minecraft does not use many controls and it would be easy on the xbox controller and easier because of the quick looking around of the analog stick.
2. Multiplayer- Xbox Live doesn't always have the best servers for High end games but I think it still would be perfect with minecraft. EX: You can make private matches for you and your friends that you can pick up and load with those friends at any time. Just imagine Castle Wars with your Friends
EDIT: Okay instead of just XBL how about also whatever the Playstation one is called so everyone can console play it- but NO WIIS!
Also, PCs need some good exclusives. If you hate the mouse that much, buy an Xbox 360 PC controller. Yes, they exist.
Why not on the Wii? It better be a good reason to not include my primary system as a choice.spartan1077 said:
Well no because I can't imagine it working well on consoles and the mouse would help with some precision for building. Also the multiplayer would have to be completely redone to what the idea of it already is. A single player only would work on consoles unless they add dedicated servers to console version as current system wouldn't suit what I think is in mind for online.
I would love to see you quickly open your inventory, move a spare item to one of your equipped slots, select it, and then attack a creeper with it with a controller. If I know how my inventory is organized (and I do) I can do this in mere seconds.Sober Thal said:
The fact of the matter is that a game like minecraft works better on the PC because it was DESIGNED FOR IT. There is intensive inventory management and it's simply quicker and easier with a mouse, not a joystick. Also, hotkeys and macros for the win.
Porting this game to a console would similarly be the equivalent of porting RTS, MMORPGs, or any game where mice are beneficial solely because they're speedy to a console, and we all know how well that works.
Also, PC gamers have a sense of pride over the fact that this game is a PC exclusive and the fact that console gamers are envious of it makes us feel good. We like it when our exclusive games remain exclusive, just like you do.
But seriously people, your grandma's computer can run this game. Suck it up and just play it on the guddamn pc. You might even enjoy it.
As a person who also owns all the current gen consoles as well as a great pc, no it won't affect me, and honestly if Notch said he was porting the game to XBLA today I wouldn't care. I'm not actually upset, it's just whenever I argue about anything I get a little...passionate.Sober Thal said:
I guess I just wanted everyone to know that it's not gonna happen. Notch is too smart of a game developer to port this game to a console. I think in doing so, he would have to create an inferior version for consoles. It just has to be a PC game.
