Terraria is a game that instests me, but Minecraft never has because it seemed boring. When Terraria comes to Xbox Live Arcade I think that I may get.

@Mister_Zurkon It had the beginning work done (like oceans.)

All that was done was lesser gravity at the top of the world like was shown in the video but Redigit stopped development before finishing it.


If they actually finish space and oceans, I might even buy this again for PSN.

It look very interesting. They could have made the graphics better though. Or if they want to keep the same tiles, they could atleast made it 60 fps

@zpluffy The human eye can't perceive 60 fps. And exactly how do you know it doesn't have 60 fps?

Lol, now where the hell did you get that information? Try playing Battlefield 3 (@30 fps) and call of duty 60fps. You can definitely see a difference. Or try playing Skyrim in 40 fps then 60 fps. There's definitely a difference. There are a lot of people that can see the difference even more than 60 fps. The reason it's locked to 60 as max fps is that most monitors or TV only support up to 60fps.

Only thing that makes me jealous as a PC Terraria owner is the console versions will have a proper multiplayer interface.

I love Terraria. Somebody needs to steal their source code, so the community can do what Re-Logic and their foolish decision making refuses to do, and continue to work on the PC version of the game, adding new features and maybe even porting it to Mac and Linux.

I wonder if they finished the unfinished features from Terraria like outer space and oceans? Also, they really need to work on making the blocks connect properly. Right now they all have a very distinct flat edge between them all and that's incredibly jarring. Controls look really weird too, but I expect they'll support mouse + keyboard for it.

Im tired of ppl complaing about PC this, console that. They announced that they werent gonna continue updating the game on PC. The reason, idk, but its not like they surprised us. Terraria is awesome hands down , I like it better than Minecraft only because I favor the snes 16bit look vs the clunky look of Minecraft(amazing game also). Im happy they are bringing it to consoles because honestly a controller is better than a keyboard, I'm sorry, but its true. Do i wish they kept investing in the PC version, of course, but am I sad? no.

How many PC games get advertised on TV. None. Unless its from Blizzard. Don't quote me on that. Please PC gamers chill, PC games still have a slew of games that are amazing and will never port to consoles. Unless its a spin-off like Dungeon Fighter.

Impossible, you can't break new ground in a game like this without breaking out of it's very narrow scope...in other words, don't count on anything but a ditch-digging sim with a sprinkle of action elements to keep you from flatlining....

I own this for PC via Steam. But I'm more tied up wth other Steam and GO goodies to really devote time to it.

At the beginning of this video, dude mentoned that Terraria didn't reach as big an audience on PC as it can being crss-platform. So I can understand adding it to XBLA and PSN. Maybe Wiiware will get it as well.

But if they're gonna neglect the original PC fanbase, they're asking for flack. Because XBLA and PSN are not garunteed. The PC crowd is much more likely to stick around.

Yay, I'm happy to see more people will be able to experience this game. I like Terraria a lot better than Minecraft. It feels more adventurous and as someone who doesn't have very good design skills, the 2D pixel style is much more compelling to me than the 3D models of Minecraft.

I'm pretty sure the wall of flesh was not in the original version? There was the eye of cthulu, skeletron, and the eater of worlds, iirc.
