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.

Oh god, manipulating a tiny cursor with an analog stick, to select tiny tiny tiny pixel sized blocks looks SUPER unapealing. I'll stick with the PC version.

@NaDannMaGoGo: It's a reasonable compromise though, I mean how else would you be able to fine tune which block you want to place/mine.

It is kind of jarring seeing cursors on console games, though. Kinda like playing an RTS on a console.

I don't think this will sell as well as Minecraft did on consoles. Something tells me that anyone who wanted to play this while it was a PC exclusive, played it, what with all the Steam sales and such, and I can't imagine people saying "I wish this was coming to consoles".

Edit: Looking at some peoples comments on here, I could be wrong.

I've spent over 100 hours playing Terraria on PC. I think history will repeat itself when the console version comes out.

Wait, what?

There's actually a cursor? So they kinda too thought that there's not really a way to play Terraria anywhere close to the PC game without a free moving cursor I suppose.

But despite it being no question that controls would be inferior no matter what, damn, that has to be a hassle to move the cursor via sticks o,,o

I guess a console release is what it takes to get people to notice this game :/

Psh, console versions won't be able to download Silent Hill remakes, though.

Missing out, really. :)

I really liked Terraria, glad to see that it's looking good for the consoles as well.
