The Makers of Terraria Have Added Quite a Few Things for its Upcoming Console Release

Is this like a late 90's Jim Carrey movie trailer? time burton?

I could potentially be interested in this. When the game was released I thought it looked too much like Minecraft and I wasn't interested in going down that hole again but this trailer is pretty hype!

@FellOpenIan: Also you can't just say it isn't about entitlement when that is what your entire argument is based on. As someone who originally supported the game you think you "deserve" this extra content.

@FellOpenIan: Just because he is ok with someone adding stuff to make it actually worth buying doesn't mean he is going to go and port that shit to the PC. With your logic why would you buy any game that might eventually get DLC because eventually there will be a better version of that game that you can buy at the same price. You're talking about not buying the next game because they will just abandon that as well. If they never stop working on the current game, there will never be a next game.

@SirCandle It's not like these ports and added content happen without the consent of the original developer(s). If the developer(s) wanted the content available on the original platform then it would happen.

It's not about entitlement but rather abandonment. Furthermore, it's evidence that this will happen again with the next game so why not just not purchase that one until the other shoe drops or perhaps not at all as you'll just be abandoned yet again.

It's about the optics of the situation and the bad taste you leave in the mouths of those which supported you first.

@FellOpenIan: The guy who did everything on the PC isn't the one making this content.

It is disheartening to see a growing number of indie developers use one platform as funding for other platforms only to then abandon the original players and not even offer-up a paid content option.

It rubs people the wrong way, they remember as much, and come the next release those people recall being abandoned and just stop supporting the developers all-together.

Both Terraria and Binding of Isaac fall into that category for me: I'm not purchasing anything else from the people who worked on those games until they at least offer the option of content parity across platforms paid or otherwise.

So yeah, PC players don't DESERVE this added content but, by that same token, these developers don't deserve any more of our money.

So...this is coming to PC yeah?

OMG a metriod!

Terraria was my one attempt to get into the Minecraft genre. I was hooked for a little while, but didn't ultimate get very far before I got tired of clicking on dirt.

Fucking lava.

When's Starbound coming out?

Not.

Soon.

ENOUGH.

I'll play this again if the price is right.

You say coming soon but I know your fucking lying to me! This is a 2014 release I bet. You always do this to me downloadable games!!! I'm leaving video games once I get my cd's out of their truck.

I've always thought Terraria looked more fun than Minecraft because it was more of a game. Plus, I enjoy the side scrolling art much more.

Looking forward to this whenever it drops.

Just to be picky in the title the "makers of terraria" bit is kinda wrong since they have an outside studio making the port!

Exclusive to consoles.

And still no mod tools D:

I'd say this was a very nice trailer. I don't really see how they really added that much to the game, though. New boss, map, some items, pets, music, and some enemies. That's cool, but considering it's been how long since their last update? I feel it's a bit lackluster.

When's Starbound coming out?

I hope people don't come in here commenting about how they feel ripped off. That boo hoo, consoles get extra stuff and we don't. We PC players built this community and spread the word about the game, so we deserve - nay, DEMAND - to get everything for free. I'm seeing a lot of this sentiment in other places online.

I got the game for $20, put well over 100 hours into it, and feel like I've gotten far more than my money's worth. If you bought the game for $2.50 during a Steam sale and you're still bitching, just shut the hell up and enjoy the game.

Some of the new additions (i.e. the built in map, especially) look really cool.

Still concerned that the building aspect will be a pain without a mouse, though.

@GaistHeidegger: I'm pretty sure it's being developed by a different developer and the OG developers said they were not going to have it ported.

Holy shit, this game got real weird since I last played it.

That's a pretty fantastic trailer right there.

This looks pretty dope!

i need to jump back in this game. i didn't give it enough time.

Hopefully they will also be back-porting a lot of these additions to the PC version, but pretty keen nevertheless! Even with work being done on Starbound and the port being a different team, there ought to be -some- flexibility to kick improvements back.
