Todd Howard and Notch (Minecraft) "interview" each other

  • Comment
At E3 2011, GameInformer writer Ben Hanson managed to get Todd Howard and Markus Persson (Notch), the creator of Minecraft, in the same room. The back-and-forth pseudo-interview (it's more of a conversation) of course includes Skyrim and Minecraft, but Oblivion is brought up too. Todd also talks a bit about mods, calls the PC version superior because of mods, and again brings up trying to get them available on the consoles.

Fallout 3's ending and the community reaction is also brought up. Other games discussed include Red Dead Redemption, Terraria, L.A. Noire.

Also, Todd is an iPhone guy and Notch is an Android guy. Watch out!

Watch on GameInformer (no embed available at the moment) and be amazed. Then get started on building Skyrim in Minecraft.

    why cant they just take the top 100 or some mods format them for console and have them cost like 3 or 4 dollars depending on the size and complexety


    Due to copyright issues, intellectual property, selling other peoples' mods, along with the fact that it'd tick off most of their community for stealing their content.

    This is how Developers and Publishers should act to one another, not all hatred and stuff. And Todd is a perfect example of that from everything I seen so far from him.

    I found this rather funny because the release date for Skyrim and the release date for the completed version of Minecraft are both 11-11-11

    I love how honest and quite frankly awesome Todd is. He's the type of guy I'd just love to sit down and half a chat with.

    I also noticed that "look" when Notch was talking about the scaling in Oblivion.
