- Start date
It was the same on 360 to iirc. Maybe they just have a good relationship.

It was?
Huh, I guess I wasn't paying as close attention back then as the 360 was my primary console.
No, and that's the problem.
Armageddon was excellent and each entry after it couldn't match up. If this does, sold.

It looks beautiful. I hope it eventually comes to PS4.

Battlegrounds was hot trash in every aspect, from the art to the network wonkiness to the fucked up mechanics, and it pissed me off so often while playing (though I'll admit now it could be vaguely considered fun in between the heaps of shittiness) I wrote off any future game in the series.
This actually has me interested, though. It's like Team 17 might be learning from their recent trail of worms mediocrity.
Fingers crossed that they don't charge $50 at launch for all this fan feedback being incorporated

They should just port Worms Armageddon to Xbox One and PS4. That's the one everyone wants to play.

I don't have much interest in playing this but I am excited for the inevitable Achievement Hunter Let's Plays in which Gavin completely wastes his turns and accidentally kills his worms in freak ninja rope accidents.
Any mention real-time mode?

Love me some worms. One of the best offline couch MP games on PC imo.
Always play it with my cousin and brother.
Had an awesome game of it Christmas Eve with two of my good friends, my brother, my friends brother and my cousin. Turned it into a big Worms Session, so many laughs and so many mess ups.
This is Worms Revolution, fantastic game. Defo recommend it to Worms fans.

Im interested, but I wonder how long I have to wait for the PS4 version.
I also wonder what else they can do to improve the game. I think powerups around the map would be cool (like something that you can use once, like a stronger melee attack or something).
I think the fortresses and vehicles add a good reason to traverse around the map.
Someone above suggested actual physics for different material like glass, wood, etc. I didn't realize the game lacked that.

Agree with you 100%
I love worms but they really need to do more than just W:A with minor bells and whistles!
Kind of ....
They now give us 2D Art, the old rope
but also add crap like vehicles where I know from the beginning everyone will hate it.

I want it but nobody played Revolution on PC. 
How large are the maps and how many worms per team there are? I was disappointed by post-WWP Worms because they all had that small scale: just 4 or so worms per team, small maps, clunky interface with huge buttons everywhere (you could set up all match options on a single screen in Armageddon and WWP; later games - don't remember whether that was Revolutions or Reloaded - required several screens to cover less options).

Should I be ashamed of my words and deeds for admitting I've never played a WORMS game before? :{
Parity clause maybe. Also they can wait foe revenue from pc/x1 to pour into the ps4 port.
maybe they just had a decent experience the last time and were happy to do it again

Looks like every other 2D worms game.
What I liked doing was modding the voice files to say different things, they should add that as a feature. Record your voice, make it high pitched, use it in-game.

I'm so much with you guys on that one. So much potential, 0 inovation. Worms need to reinvent itself, and this clearly won't be it. I'll still buy it though ^_^

I'm never buying a Worms game again. They keep releasing these games but the networking ability and online infrastructure is like something from the mid 1990s.
They're doing cash grabs. Stop buying this trash folks.

Okay, I'm lost. Worms games are the low budget equivalent of COD or Assassin's Creed, and yet Team 17 somehow still justifies making the same game over and over and over and over again. That dev team has gotta be in purgatory.

So I have to pre-order to get weapons that were already in previous games? They're not exactly giving me a whole lot of reasons to not just play Armageddon.

Speaking as someone who doesn't follow Worms that closely, it feels like they talk about the ninja rope returning every single time one comes out anymore.
iirc both Reloaded and Revolution/Clan Wars had very limited ninja rope
Yeah. I don't know how I feel about pre-order weapons for a Worms game. The masks are OK. But weapons? Tough proposition.
