Terraria's Looking Pretty Good on Consoles So Far

The kind of, sort of (but not really) 2D take on Minecraft is headed to XBLA and PSN next year with new content.

I really hope the manage to work something out with a controller, and then add controller support to the game.

I really want to play this with my xbox controller on my pc.

So THIS is what a bad PC to console port looks like.

Are you trolling? Game looks exactly like it does on PC.

This was the same logic people used for Dark Souls.

Didn't work there. Mouse shouldn't emulate an analog stick, and an analog stick shouldn't emulate a cursor.

I don't see how this makes this a bad PC to console port.

I'd wait to see how the cursor works before completely writing it off. If you think about trying to build a structure with a controller with no cursor whatsoever, it seems like it would be maddening. However, if the cursor is there and only goes as far as you can build or dig (which it seems like that's as far as it goes in that video,) than that seems like one of the best ways to handle it.

I love that they didn't actually show any of the new content at the end.

*sigh*

I'm just gonna go on a limb and say this "new content" will never come to PC. With everything that's been compounding my feelings about Terraria lately, I feel this is the most likely scenario.

Also... seriously? They ignore Team Diggle's offer and instead gave the porting reins to a shovelware company? Hell with this.

The hell is a Team Diggle?

Why don't us pc players get the new content? We are the reason this is even possible. I'm happy people who would rather play it on the console can, but why not give us the new content?

He might mean Gaslamp games (the Dungeons of Dredmor guys) I think they offered to take the development reigns for Terraria when the original guy stopped working on it.

I don't think the majority of console gamers are going to take to this as much as the PC guys did, aching to know what this new content is going to be as well.

I was hoping it would control kind of like a dual joystick shooter, use the right stick to choose a direction and then use the triggers to set how far out the pointer to be

Thought about it, and I agree.

PC version was fun, I could see it being fun on consoles too, the controller is really the big question here.
