Worms: WMD reveaked [PC & XO first] - new artstyle, vehicles, buildings

Fuck, i REALLY want this. I've been waiting for a proper sequel to Armageddon/WWP for 15 years and it looks like they finally did it. 30 bucks is a bit too much though, i'm gonna have to wait a bit longer.
 
Very very fun. Excellent worms game.

Myself, brother and cousin have quite a few hours in the last one on steam so I said I'd buy this.

We tried it out yesterday and love it. Vehicles are amazing and aren't overpowered either which I originally thought. You can also hi-jack a vehicle that someone is in making it pretty fair.

Ninja rope is the usual same but a bit buggy. We were able to swing up over onto something so our head would touch the ground, then propel it backwards to reach extremely high distances.

Crafting system is an excellent addition! Adds an extra layer to worms game mechanics.

And the graphics are extremely clean and beautiful. Definitely a very very welcome addition.

Only one big downside: Local co-op has gone back to using a shared controller from what I can tell. Extremely disappointed in this. We could use 3 controllers for each person in the last worms game.
 
Does it support multiple controllers yet?
(Steam ver here)

No, unfortunately.

Wait, what? It has only a hot seat mode? That's pretty backwards actually...

Otherwise, I'm slowly warming up to the new Worms design. I'm just that used to the pixel Worms and the design they used since Worms 2 and upgraded for the 3D and 2.5D parts... This intro was, for a long time, all I could 'play' from Worms 2, since it crashed all the time on my PC back then.
 
Best graphical engine since the "real 2D" days.

Pretty happy with the game. Now I want it on Steam and not just Xbox, but will wait for a deal, hopefully with the preorder DLC.
 
Has there been any talk of expanding the customisation options in future patches?

It would be nice to be able to set some of the crafted weapons to be available by default as part of a scheme. Even better if you could customise the properties of weapons, like damage, explosion radius etc.
 
Haha, you've got to be kidding me with the multiple controller support thing, I would've thought if they were actually putting effort into a new Worms game that would be an easy checkbox.

I realize it's not the end of the world, but I find hotseat with controller just lets people tune out easier.

Yeah it sucks.

Played a few rounds with the wife and it just got really annoying having to constantly pass the controller every 45-60 seconds.
