We've got some great pre-Christmas news… Online and offline multiplayer is confirmed and will be easier than ever before! The console version will support 8 players online at once...and local split-screen will be up to 4 players! (HD Only) Screenshot here https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?....400043270061579.90569.149488785117030&type=1 Have a great Christmas break everyone - see you in 2013!
Gah. Not on Facebook...or I can't remember my login if I am. Can we lift the pic to post here? This is awesome, btw - especially the offline. For online, how will hosting work: Connection reqs? Hosts map I assume...but will guests get to keep items tied to their character like on the pc? Will everyone need the map or just the host? Along those lines, will there be a way to share maps - privately or publicly? How will that work? Just a few questions that came to mind. Cheers!
Here it is, and for all who want too see it that don't have/or can't remember there login stuff for Facebook.
Nice - so standard split screen then (with its pros and cons). Nice add that most of us cannot currently enjoy! Found this on 505's profile that adds a few tidbits - pretty standard (at least on XBL). I still would love to know how map and character files will work. Side note: will be interesting to see folks play and build when they lack invedit, etc...
some questions: is there an option for people to keep their inventory items on server join, so people can start w/ 400 health but no inventory items but the default lot? is it possible to get more than 8 players if your internet is good? (up to 20 or something) is there an option to change the way split-screen looks? if it's 2-player, can you change between vertical and horizontal?
hey 505,i have an idea that may be usefull for you. nearby to june or july,you could end terraria,and put a message saying that terraria was an awesome game,and then launch a wii u version of the game,with new unique contents,i think that you will be RICH A LOT.
I'm not sure if this has been asked, but is Cross-Platform supported? Pc to PS3 or Pc to X-Box360 and vice versa?
I think I remember seeing that it wasn't viable at the moment, sadly... but they know it's something players are interested in, so who knows!
