Minecraft Announced for the 360! DJ Arcas Responds!

– June 8, 2011Posted in: Featured, News, Video Games

At E3, it was announced that Minecraft is making the jump exclusively to the XBOX 360. Immediately, the developer of FortressCraft - DJ Arcas - began to receive questions and comments as a result. Vira Gunn had a chance to sit down with him and talk to him about Mojang’s announcement, what it means for FortressCraft, the response he’s received, and we speculate on what the release of Minecraft will be like.

first off @ChuckaChack Fortress Crafts been out since like april. and @Dan Keem DJ keemstar has nothing to do with the making of fortresscraft its all dj arcas. and they wont be “put out of business” they already sold a quarter of a million copies and still growing. he makes a new version almost every week and there will be different type of games. so i will be a fort craft fan for life<3 but i will still play minecraft:P

What my question is though during E3 when it was announced they said it would be for kinect so does this mean that people without kinect can’t play if so sad face :’(

  They said it will have Kinect support - meaning it will work with the peripheral. It won’t be like Dance Central where you NEED the device to play it. It’ll just be a game where you can opt to use the Kinect to play it, if you choose.
