Minecraft for Kinect is an XBLA title, ported by 4J Studios

4.5
More details have begun to trickle out on Swedish developer Mojang Studios' first Xbox 360 title, a Kinect-enabled port of indie hit Minecraft. Beyond the fact that it'll be some form of indirect port and that an unnamed developer other than Mojang was at the helm, few other details were known, but as Minecraft creative lead Markus "Notch" Persson revealed on his Twitter feed last night, Scottish devs 4J Studios are apparently in charge of this holiday's world-builder.

If you, like us, are unfamiliar with 4J, a cursory Wikipedia'ing reveals work on a wealth of ports, not to mention a handful of not-so-well-known original games. Hopefully any worry you have in the studio's confidence is abated by the fact that Notch will remain a game designer on the project, presumably retaining creative oversight.

TTG_Execution This is deff. going to be better than Fortress Craft. I wonder how much money Fortress is going to loose.
Yeah. I absolutley hated FC. There was no actual point to it at all.


FC needed to make a full game before being money WH0RES, and trying to get us to buy "chapters" of a game.

no hard feelings though, there the ones losing out, i did the GOD trick for FC anyway :D



fortresscraft was made by the same people who made
minecraft. notch is the main developer

Skrillex- I an still confused will this be kinect excluive or will regulare controller work?


I'm 99% sure Notch confirmed it would work with a regular 360 controller as well.


It says it right there in the news story 'Kinect-enabled' meaning it works with Kinect but does not solely have to be played on Kinect.

At least try and read the words and not just look at the pretty pictures.
