A new console means more Terraria!
Minecraft༒ may have its cute, low-res, 3D pixel-men, but Terraria fans have long-since proved that crafting and exploring is just as fun with one less dimension. And now, just as its 3D precursor has expanded to fill every format going, Terraria is primed to make the leap to the new generation with a fresh patch of new content and some new console-specific features.🐲 In fact if youre been building your own world already, you might even want to think about starting from scratch, because the new consoles are getting one hell of a Terraria package.
While the game is coming to both new systems, only the PS4 version wa🌳s available to play at this year's E3. Terraria PS4 wilജl feature the recent 1.2 game patch released in October 2013, which added a ton to the already robust experience, tripling the size of Terrarias world, adding over 1000 new items, and presenting four new bosses. The PS4 version also takes advantage of some of the consoles unique features, like the ability to cross-play with the Vita. Even better, that's not just about playing on a different screen. Utilizing cross play can actually double the amount of players in one game from four to eight, making for some crazy-hectic fun. And obviously the games controls are being optimised nicely for the DualShock 4, putting the all important map controls on the touchpad for easy access. Terraria's world's are huge, so you'll be wanting that thing to be as readily to hand as can be.

Sometimes a substance called Corruption will infest the world. It's an evil, purple blight, and can be spread to pure areas
