Official Terraria: Otherworld

[Kiddles]

I think you missed the point of my analogy but one thing I want you to know is that I have played games since age 8 and there comes a point where I just get enough of a game and cant take any more of that game. Terraria is starting to reach that point but I am willing to ride terraria until the last stop. Terraria 1.5? Terraria 2? Not so much.

Otherworld = Terraria 1.5

Please don't make terraria a religion.

Ah, that's more understandable. I, too, have payed games since grade school, so I know the feeling.

Kind of implies that there is an inherent danger in posting to them.

Hooks can be pretty sharp just sayin.
@Svard still waiting to hear those system changes

I don't want to go too off-topic, but, for the sake of (trying to) satisfy you...

Spoiler

For DW3 - Most notable change from DW2 was the flow of combat and item system. Added elemental attacks (I think?) The game had a far different feel from DW2.

For DW4 - Weapon leveling system, force-oriented musou mode rather than character-oriented. Added duels. Added character editor.

For DW5 - Duels removed, back to RNG weapons and items, with other variables, such as level difficulty and combos. Some weapons had an ability that extended square-button combos. Added character endings.

For DW6 - Added renbu. More (and weaker) enemies on screen, and more crowds, rather than organized units of 5 in combat. I played very little of this one, as I thought it was terrible.

For DW7 - Went back to force-oritented musou mode, now with Jin forces. Can swap between two different weapons in battle. Musou is more damage-heavy, rather than being combo-heavy. Added conquest mode.

For DW8 - Added hypothetical scenarios, such as, if Guo Jia lived, then Cao Cao could have won Chi Bi. I played very little of this game, so I don't remember any other changes.


There's probably more than that, but these are things I could only think of off the top of my head. Why did I play these games? More or less because I'm a bit of a Romance of the Three Kingdoms enthusiast. But I daresay, these games do little to no justice for how, even the novel, portrayed the characters (Zhang He was not at all effeminate, and Wei Yan was not an incompetent savage). Even the novel does little to honor certain figures, like portraying Wei Yan as a traitor to Shu, when all he wanted to do was continue the fight against Wei, not join them. Granted, Luo Guanzhong probably didn't have ALL the records available to him at that time. And, it was a novel, after all.

This looks great. Can't wait to see where you are taking this new game.
I'm mostly interested in why don't you see it as Terraria 2 though. What elements that don't quite fit in a main line "terraria" will this game have?
Because "the entire world succumbed to corruption" would be the perfect plot for the actual sequel, (what with the corruption being a major force in the original game) and terraria don't really have such a cohesive plot in the first place.

It came out before 1.3 is even out which leads me to wonder about the actual (work) timeline. If T:O is not terraria 2, then what is it? Did I miss some chatter on it? I may not be interested in the game but I do wanna know about all the weird lights behind the curtain.

Please enale this rpg true co-op and you will sell a lot more.

It's a spin-off. It's not Terraria 2 because it's not-quite-Terraria. It's the Terraria universe with somewhat different gameplay.

..and it's a good thing it isn't called Terraria 2 because it's probably lacking a lot of the elements that many of the fans love about the game - and adds many new ones that some of us might not care for, or like for different reasons. For example, it might have a stat system - many of us like the gear based system; it might have a storyline - many of us like the lack of story; it has different graphics - many of you like the 8 bit look, etc.

All in all, it's hardly a Terraria 2.

 

[Pirtz]

Most people would call that Terraria 2 as far as I know.

...Another Terraria. Like, the titles are the same, how far off can you go with that?
If there's a similarity between Starbound and this game, it'd be the visual style, but that's about it as far as I know.
aside from the amount of content, that is

I'm pretty sure this game has more content than Starbound already (not that that is hard to achieve though).

 

[Ceasar Clown]

I don't like it :X

 

[Metoot]

I don't like it :X

Then don't play it.

I noticed a machine that blocks corruption from spreading near. Interesting.

I think that's going to be the name of the game - placing those things around. They hold gems too. Finally a good use for gems.

Hype alert!

EDIT: posted earlier, dang

 

[luking97]

It's going to have multiplayer, but now with steam servers and no with IP... please!
Saludos desde Argentina!

The only thing that kinda got me at first was that it looks quite different to Terraria. I would still play it and enjoy it just as much, but I'm hoping Terraria 2 will look more like Terraria. Also, ever noticed this look alike?:

 

[Deleted member 19168]

shame i suck at art\animation... i would LOVE to be able to draw\ animate like that...
it's so... pretty...

 

[MarioKart7z]

OH NO NOT FAILBOUND AGAIN- oh wait.
well, this looks pretty similar to failbound but... um... well.................... err............
*ERROR #4098: memory value not found, skipping current process*
*$334E memory value set to 5F, starting new process...*

Hold on... so is this like a version of Terraria in which you actually have a motive to counter the Corruption? As much as I'm tempted to say "shut up and take my money", I'm going to resist that urge.

Edit: oh, what the hell.

Spoiler

^ this. just hopin' it doesn't end up like failbound where you have to fight a nearly impossible boss in a nearly impossible unbreakable dungeon AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME in order to get out of the turorial... UGH

 

[Siveria]

Ohh, is there going to be some kind of early access? cuz I want in.

 

[penumbraphantasm]

-Looks like crap
-I don't like it
-STARBOUND COPY!!
-I wont buy it

I'm really sad about you guys, Engine Soft. and Re-Logic working on new game for us and you still ungrateful, if you don't like it then don't need to talk bad about this game .I'm 100% sure that will be awesome game.

Starbound and TOW?:
Well, first of all, that is Alpha (do you remember Terraria in Alpha?)

Spoiler: TOW:

Spoiler: Starbound:

I can't see nothing!Games looks 1000% different!Only 2D and nothing!
No need to compare them!

Again!If you don't like this game then shut up and do not spoil the mood!

Terraria is already my all-time favorite game! When I saw this trailer my jaw hit the floor, this title will be sure not to bore!
