Terraria Vita

**Rowan** · 12-11-2013, 04:15 PM

Terraria was just released for vita in Australia and Europe. I write this with a smug grin on my face as Australia gets something before the USA. But dont worry my American friends, you should get it soon

Anyway, im sure there are terraria fans here and the vita version's multiplayer is vastly superior to that of the steam version since no port forwarding or setting up servers are required. Id like to get a world started with TFF members. I believe the maximum amont of players has been increased to 8, I may be wrong about that though.

Anyone else gonna grab it? Its about $22 ($20 if you have psn membership)
inb4 its cheaper in USA.

I guess I can pick it up and play.

I've been playing a lot of Starbound lately and haven't even thought about coming back to terraria.

I've heard about starbound and the similarities between the two games. Can you tell me a bit about it?

My friend just told me about Starbound and she likes it just as much as Terraria

Its very similar to Terraria, but the game has a different feel to it.
Terraria has randomness to it, but it has a set path. Build up, dig down, build arena's to fight bosses.
Starbound is more centered towards exploration. You start out on one planet, but there are tons of planets to visit, all with varying difficulties and all random. "Each planet is unique, with different types of terrain, procedurally generated foliage, weather, day/night cycles, gravity levels, enemy appearance and behaviour, materials, colour of materials and foliage, and various backdrops."
Like terraria, it has a main quest line, side quests, free world exploration, loads on enemies to fight (along with a few bosses so far), and obviously building and crafting.
Seven (six currently) playable races, I don't really think they have varying stats or different abilities, other than looks.

The soundtrack.... is.... AMAZING. You ever get that feeling in Minecraft how the music doesn't come up enough, but its really good music. Thats how Starbound is but the music is always playing. At least thats how it is for me.
Mechanically and graphically Starbound trumps Terraria IMO.

I wanted to try out Terraria but I don't think I'd enjoy that game by myself. I know a ton of people playing Starbound right now, might check that one out and if I see Terraria up for like 2 bucks again I'll grab it.

Having some issuse with Terraria on vita at the moment. Have not been able to figure out how to mutiplay locally, or if that is even an option. Havnt been able to research this either due to the game being so new, and there being no articles or reviews about it on vita yet.

I have a trio of unused copies chilling on my STEAM account if you would like one (snagged em at 2.50$ woot). I will probably buy terraria for vita to play until FFX comes out.

herozero31 is the account name, and I use HeroZero as the screenname,
