Worms Armageddon is one of the best games ever made. I really hope this one is better than the last few Worms games which for some reason had less weapons and tile sets than Armageddon. I don't understand why they released versions with less features than the best Worms game. The goal should be to top Armageddon.

Worms was my jam back in the day, but I'm not falling for this again. Team 17 are a bunch of hacks.

 

[2+2=5]

A new worms? This is a news!
Seriously team 17, why don't you make 2d hd sequels of superfrog, assassin or project x(this can be 2.5d lol)?

This looks awesome. Been a fan of worms for at least a decade and I can't wait to play it!

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

That new water system is looking very interesting. This is shaping up very nicely... as others have mentioned already, no Worms game since Armageddon has given me the urge to play but this is definitely making me look forward to playing some games with mates.

 

[Tiduz]

when is it coming

 

[VGChampion]

Still haven't played a Worms games I liked better than 2. I think at this point even if one is "better" I still won't like it.

 

[Newline]

what platforms will this reach?

One of my most played games on the PSP was lemmings, it would be really fitting if worms could be up there on my vita.

Classes and customization

I have to bump this thread again. No OT for this game ? No hype at all ?

Steam version unlocks in 10 hours. XBLA version is only about an hour away from release.

8.5

 

[Ciastek3214]

I pre-ordered it, even if only because of free Worms Armageddon,, but I have faith that Revolution will also be awesome.

 

[Tankshell]

I am in 2 minds about getting this... Worms is one of the few games my gf will actually enjoy playing with me, on a PC that is.

Also, long term Team 17 fan =0)

On the other hand, will it actually add anything fun to the existing worms mix I wonder?

 

[The Faceless Master]

oooh, i gotta grab the demo for this!

 

[SteveWD40]

Matt Berry voice sold me.

This forum typically doesn't pay much attention to these type of games. I'm looking forward to it though.

Thanks, downloading now.
Super curious about this one, I loved the original Worms and Armageddon on the PC, couldn't make myself play very far on the xbox ones though. Interested to see how much single player content there is.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Been playing Worms 2: Armageddon pretty much constantly with my housemates. Hope this one is up to scratch.

Is anyone else really disappointed that you cant make lots of custom teams in local multi player any more? We used to have all sorts of crazy themed teams, but now you have a team named after the console username and everyone else is "Clone 1", "Clone 2".

Also the framerate seems pretty shaky on the PS3 version, we might have to go back to Armageddon, which is a shame because it seemed like they had some interesting ideas with this version!

Dealbreaker. Absolute dealbreaker. Small thing, but wow.

played on a xbox and the frame rate was really awful. at times it was unplayable for me.
especially when we played fort deathmatch.

YES.

GOD I HATE IT SO MUCH.

If I want to have another team I need to earn coins...such stupidity! I do not care about SP!

 

[Dynamic3]

Are the consoles versions in parity with the PC version (max worms per team etc.)?

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Pretty disappointed with the performance of the PC version. When you move around with the camera it's 60fps, but character movement, explosions and stuff are 30fps, so it feels like crap. I will stick to Reloaded until they patch it (I hope so :/)

 

[wind_steaker]

Does anyone know if they are planning on looking into this stuff?

How on earth did they even allow that through QA? Who thought it was a good idea to remove most of the fun of custom teams? What a stupid move. :/

I'm guessing that it's locked at 30 because the new physics engine does calculations on a frame by frame basis. Changing the framerate would also affect the physics and processor load.

Seriously the best part of Worms right there. After Holy Handgrenade and Concrete Donkey that is.

WHAT

Ok, well THAT'S nice to know. Fuck this.

 

[antitrop]

The Little Big Planet graphical style and nature documentary director narrator aspects of the game are very good.

The game is still charming and cute.

 

[Stet]

Can anyone confirm that you can't add custom names, even on PC?

You can change the names of your Worms on PC.

I knew it. No game ever gets it perfectly right anymore. I loved naming mine after DBZ, Nintendo, Sony, friends, family, etc... Gives "life" to the worms. Passing on this one as well. Well, maybe I'll check out the PC one some day with names there. Should have scrolled all the way down.

You can change the names of the worms in the console version too, it's just you can only ever have one custom team, and you can't even name that team.

Ya, same on PC.

 

[abracadaver]

I bought the season pass on steam and downloaded the funfair pack but I have no idea how to access the DLC. There are no new puzzles to play in the menu and there is no new landscape to select. Whats wrong there ?

 

[radios shipping overview]

I bought this for PS3 tonight. I wish I hadn't. Jesus Christ, it runs like absolute donkey shit. 25 fps on a good moment, 15-20 more often, and the UI is full of weird jerks and pauses. They didn't optimize this at all. This is Worms! There's no excuse!
