Worms on PS3

[wagman]

Does anyone know if worms will be made available from the playstation store in a similar way that its gonna be on XBOX LIVE ARCADE?

Not currently, but in future we might look at it.

[bonz]

Huh? Worms on PS3?
That's new to me.

[wagman]

Ok, thanks for your help.

I think it would appeal to a massive fanbase, considering the success of the original worms on psone.

I look forward to any news

Thanks again

[tjcorreia]

Not currently, but in future we might look at it.

a soon future??
Please say yeeeeeeeeeeeees, we want worms in Playstation3

[Firia]

Not currently, but in future we might look at it.

The future is now! :D
Lets get on it! ;)

[Alien King]

By definition, the future has not yet happened. And once it is happening, it becomes the present before slipping away into the past. Logically, the future can never be now.

By your logic, we shall never see Worms on the ps3. :( This makes me cry a little.

[Alien King]

Get it on the PC instead. It'll be much better.

[Basti@n]

Do you mean via SOE (Sony Online Entertainment) or a Worms for PS3, on a BD-ROM, DVD-ROM or CD-ROM? (All formats supported by the PS3 (http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS3))

P.D: I DON'T have a Ps3. Okay? I read these things on wikipedia.

EDIT:

As if there'll ever by a PS3 game on CD ROM.


CD-ROM's are supported by the PS3... These are the PS1 games that are also supported by PS2 and PS3 :p

So:

PS1 = Games in a CD-ROM that also are supported by the PS2 and the PS3.
PS2 = Games in a DVD-ROM that also are supported by the PS3.
PS3 = Games in a BD-ROM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BD-ROM) (i think).

[AndrewTaylor]

You'd barely fit a splash screen on that these days.

[Paul.Power]

You've got your precognition switched on again, Mrs. Cake.

[g00r00]

I really hope for a 2D worms for the PS3 - maybe in the PlayStation store similar to the XBox?.

In the US there hasn't been a PlayStation (2D) Worms since World Party on the PS1! (Please correct me if I'm wrong so I can buy it!) I've been going through Worms 2D withdrawl since I got rid of my Dreamcast! :(

The new DS Worms looks awesome but its just not the same as playing it on the big screen with 3 or 4 friends!

[wave]

very few people have bothered to get a ps3 so it probably wouldn't be worth anyones time releasing it on that platform.

ADDED LATER: please release on ps3 t17 u know u wanna.

[ps3wormman]

Okay, really. Worms (2D) has definitely got to hit the PS3! Most other systems will enjoy the wormage. Those of us only purchasing the PS3 (and certainly Lemmings along with it), heartily request Worms for our console. Please don't abandon us. Lemmings looks so cool, but nothing is as cool as Worms. You all know that.

[Plasma]

Really, you'd be much better off begging to THQ rather than Team17. The publisher usually gets more of the option on what games they should make than the developer.

[Shadowmoon]

Worms on PS3 would actually be quite good. I don't think it should be a ported version of the X360 Live arcade game though.:-/

[kikumbob]

You've got your precognition switched on again, Mrs. Cake. I swear I'm probably the only sad little person that got that:D

[Plasma]

I swear I'm probably the only sad little person that got that:D
Actually, not really. He sorta explained the joke in a different thread around the same time.

[bartman]

Please port the new worms to the PS3! ;)

[rew]

I've been playing worms since amiga days, hope i will be able to continue doing so on ps3, please :)

[Squirminator2k]

I've been playing worms since amiga days, hope i will be able to continue doing so on ps3, please :)

I'm happy sticking it out with the Amiga, but that's just me. I'm one of those sad people who's still waiting for Sneech 2 to come out.

[robowurmz]

I swear I'm probably the only sad little person that got that:D

Apart from me, I got it!

[Muzer]

I got it.

[panelix]

wow it would be worms hd :D

[Squirminator2k]

wow it would be worms hd :D

It may interest you to kow that the Xbox Live Arcade version of Worms was originally named Worms HD. The "HD" part was dropped at some point before release.

[Delysid]

Ive been a diehard fan of worms since i was 8 and im a diehard sony fan. worms was one of the only games i bought for my pc, it would be awsome if u could release atleast one full length 2d worms title to the ps3. You might not see the support , but there are lots of ppl that want worms on there ps3. Many long time fans like myself, we just barley speak up. Please hear our prayer team 17! A console isnt a console unless it has a worms title.;)

[abcdef]

I want Worms Armageddon on PS3!!!

I pay 70,00€ for this fantastic 2D multiplayer game!!!

PLEASE TEAM17!!!

Worms for PS3 is a MUST!!!!!!!!!!
(In italian languages ;) )

[Melon]

I pay 70,00€ for this fantastic 2D multiplayer game!!!
Well if you're serious about this, I'm sure this will cover the costs of a direct port.

[Muzer]

He means €70.00, mainland Europe uses , instead of . and vice versa. €70 ~= £52.51

[Melon]

I quickly read it as 70,000 euros.

I should pay more attention.

[abcdef]

I'm desperate!!!
I Love Worms Armageddon!
I Love play in my house with 6 friends, but not by keyboard and mouse on pc..
I want play it on PS3 (with wireless sixasis!!!) in my lounge!
Money? No problem!!

[Flavius]

You should make a PS3 version with HOME TROPHIES. Then I will buy. Otherwise, no buy. I need Trophies and Accomplishments in Home.

[raffie]

I quickly read it as 70,000 euros.



70,000 = 70,00 = 70,0000000000000 = 70

We don't use much punctuation in numbers where they don't serve a purpose lol. 70 000 is what u mean I think

Brits, lol
:p

[Squirminator2k]

In the UK, and in the US too I expect, commas are sometimes positioned at every three digits. For example, seventy-two thousand eight-hundred and fifty four would look like 72,854. One-million nine-hundred-and-six-thousand two-hundred and fourty-two would be 1,906,242.

[Muzer]

Yep, the usage of . and , in the rest of the world is swapped round compared to in mainland Europe.

[abcdef]

or Call of Duty4 €70,00 or Worms Armageddon €70,00 for me is the same!!!
I want it in my PS3!!
Team17 at work NOW!!! ;)

[Squirminator2k]

Yep, the usage of . and , in the rest of the world is swapped round compared to in mainland Europe.

That explains why the pricing system on Animal Crossing is so different on the European Cube version, then.

[swishaw]

Come on you've got to release Worms on the PS3 so that I can get rid of my crappy 360!

[Shadowmoon]

Well, if you be a good boy, Team 17 may do it for you.

I'd like to see Worms on PS3 as well though.

[natern]

Yeah, I'd enjoy it too. I was thinking of buying the PS version on ebay, but I think it would just look too bad by todays standards, even without an HD tv.
(I never had PS1, so I've only played worms 2/3d on PC, let me know if the PS version of Armageddon looks good enough to want to play with friends.)

I own all three Worms games for the PlayStation (four if you include Worms Pinball) and they upscale beautifully.

[killer101]

Hello! I'm not around here very often. It was just to look if some version of Worms is in development for the ps3. The old 2D versions were some of the greatest games in history. It was the most fun you can have, if you play with a party of 3 or 4 friends. I would also love to see a new 2D version for the ps3. To play it online would be heaven!!!

[WildWayz]

Like others, I have been playing worms since the 1st one came out on the Amiga. I would LOVE to see a 2D version of the classic re-made for PS3! As people have said before, PSN would be an ideal platform to release it on!

[48Prong]

XBLA Worms was basically a beefed up version of Open Warfare 1 with better controls, online and HD graphics. I am hoping that if a new Worms game is released on the PSN (or XBLA) it is like Open Warfare 2, with the tweaks they gave the original on XBLA. That would be rad.

[will06]

I cant believe this is not on the psn store yet. Come on team17 this will be a huge hit on the psn. I had the xbox360 but got rid of it and would love to see a 2d worms game on the psn. I am on a few forums and I know thousands of people would be interested in this. I have been a huge fan of the worms games and you cant let us sony fans down. Think of all the download content you could add for this its a win win for every body. I f this doesnt be made for the ps3 I think you guys are nuts. This will be a huge hit even bigger when home be released. Please give us some news on this. Im going to be writing to thq about this aswell.

[Squirminator2k]

The PS3 already has access to the single greatest Worms game in existence - Worms Armageddon. Provided your PS3 is backwards-compatible, that is...

[Muzer]

I thought all PS3s had PS1 compatibility

[Squirminator2k]

Nope. Sony stripped it out of the more recent models.

[Plasma]

Nope. Sony stripped it out of the more recent models.
Wait, really? When did this happen?

[Squirminator2k]

At the end of 2007, I think. I'm fairly confident that almost none of the "current" models support backwards compatibility, certainly not in the US at least. European models are different, as the back-comp was handled differently.

[bartgielen]

I hope it will come. It will even look better than the Xbox 360 version.

[Squirminator2k]

Will it? Blimey, do you have some kind of insider information?

[Muzer]

I thought that the 40GB ones had no PS2 compatibility, the PS1 compatibility is unaffected. I don't have a 40GB one to verify that, but someone told me that theirs played PS1 games fine. Note sure about the US, but I would assume it's the same story, only that your original release had even better compatibility than our 60GB version.

[Wormetti]

All PS3s have PS1 compatibilty but some are missing PS2 compatibility. PS1 WA is better than nothing but it's not the best the PS3 could do. A native PS3 WA would be best but the PS3 might even be able to run the Windows WA on an X86 emulator running on Linux.

[Muzer]

Yeah, is there a version of wine for ppc?

[quakerworm]

Yeah, is there a version of wine for ppc?
no, of course not. wine only intercepts system and dx calls. it doesn't interpret instructions. it leaves your x86 cpu to process the instructions as they come in. if you run it on ppc, you are stuck, because the instructions are still in x86.

you could run a virtual pc, of course. i think there is something for ppc already for emulating x86. you could simply install windows on top of that. it would probably have to be w95 or w98 for the system to be able to handle it. i'm almost positive that you could get w2 to run under ps3 Linux this way. wa might prove to be a little more difficult, though.

try searching for 'emulating x86 on ps3' or something along these lines. there are probably articles on it already.

[will06]

Any word yet?? Worms for ps3 FTW

[K2D]

Haha! This was actually my reason for joining this forum. Hi all! ;)

I can't wait to play worms (2d) in 1080p on my lcd-tv with all my friends.
I think it's great that there's worms on xbox live arcade, allthough I don't plan to ever buying a 360. I've allready played it some and it's still lot's of fun, though the arsenal was somewhat limited.

You (Team 17 and THQ) have herebye got this fan's support!

[Squirminator2k]

No .

And no .

[kinkdxm]

I'd buy a 2d version of worms the day it came out for the ps3.

[K2D]

LittleBigPlanet with worms... I don't quite see it. Worms is about blowing things up, not building and solving puzzles. :D

But I reckon if Team 17 wanted, they could make good use of the Cell processor, with lots of stuff happening at once.

[Squirminator2k]

Or they could just port Worms XBLA. Which would, y'know, make more sense.

[K2D]

Depends.. I would'nt pay premium for a 360 port and then pay for DLC.

[quakerworm]

they might as well port psp wow2. i have a feeling that psp os environment has more similarities with ps3 than windows-like environment of the 360. and seeing how wow->wxbla was already a mips->ppc port, that part shouldn't create any extra difficulties. engine is the same for both, after all.

[Plasma]

Considering that you just said that, I think Wxbla would be easier to port.

[Squirminator2k]

I much prefer the 360 controller... the PS3's shoulder triggers are far too... squidgy for my liking.

[jst23]

the ps3 controller is the best by far!!! and we should def!!!!! have worms on the ps3!!! i would buy it the day it came out for sure!!!!!!!

[Squirminator2k]

The PS3 controller is exactly the same as the two controllers that came before it. It's a little outdated, if you ask me- the D-pad and the left analog stick need to me switched around and it needs to be more comfortable to hold.

[yakuza]

Stupid spam will certainly encourage Team17.

[Plasma]

This entire thread shows why the customer is always wrong.

[K2D]

Pointless spamming will get you nowhere, fast..

Now, I ain't gonna buy Worms for the PC because that ain't where I want to play it.. I want to play it in my living room, on my 40 inch flatscreen, with lots of friends over, and over the net with everyone on my friendslist.
I'd easily dish out 60 euros for it (+taxes), and convince everyone else I know into doing the same.

[Squirminator2k]

Sounds like someone needs to buy a Media PC!

[raffie]

Flatscreens have DVI/VGA inputs :o

[quakerworm]

Sounds like someone needs to buy a Media PC!
or just get an old machine for dirt cheap and hook it up to that screen. you don't need a lot of hardware to run wa on 1920x1080. in fact, i'm pretty sure that pII under w98 will do just fine, and machines like these get thrown out all the time simply because they can't run "latest and greatest".

[Squirminator2k]

My first computer was a P-II with Win98, and it'd only just about run WA with the graphic detail set to Minimum. So if it were me, I'd bump those stats up., Besides, why set up a basic PC jsut to play WA when you could go the Whole Hog™ and be able to play games like Portal, Bioshock, CivIV, Trackmania Nations Forever, Team Fortress 2 and UT3 from the comfort of my living room?

[quakerworm]

i was able to run wa on 133mhz pentium, but yeah, just barely. maybe i'm also underestimating the clocks that all the new features, like recording games, improved graphics, etc take up. i've done the above back in '99.

the point stands, however, that you don't need anything close to a top of the line just for wa. pcs that will do get discarded by universities and businesses, and you can often pick them up for free.

as for playing new games, valid point. that's actually what i did. my setup is a 42" 1080p lcd display hooked up to the ps3 and a high end pc. great with flight sims, and works well with everything else too.

what i mostly disagree on is getting a pc marketed as a media pc. odds are, you are overpaying for a gimmick. personally, i'm still a fan of building your own machine. if you are a real nerd, think of it as building your own light saber. otherwise, just consider the savings. and it really isn't that time consuming. this is the first machine i've put together completely from scratch, and it took me only a few hours to get it up and running, despite some hiccups with raid5.

but even if you are really scared of touching the insides of a pc or you are so busy that you can't even spare a few hours for the task, buy a regular pc. there is no need to get a media pc, when you can get all of the functionality for less.

[Squirminator2k]

Building your own PC is more like building your own car - sure, it's doable, but not everyone has the knowledge or expertise to do so, and it's often easier to walk into a showroom and pay a little extra for one that's not long off of the construction line. I have enough knowledge to get by replacing components but I couldn't build a PC from scratch. I don't know many people who could... your average gamer can't.

[quakerworm]

modern pc has relatively few parts, and most of them fit only one way. there are a bunch of wires, but again, they fit only the right way. you have to be extremely careful while reading and following instructions that have to do with the cpu, and make sure you put memory into right slots. everything else is a trivial monkey task of searching for slots that things fit into until you run out of slots or things to put into them.

the non-trivial bit is getting the parts. but here, if you don't know, you can simply ask. you can get help with part compatibility on most forums. once you know what parts to buy, order them on-line from a reliable vendor, and then put them together while following detailed instructions.

just a few years ago, putting together a pc meant looking for a right pair among dozens of almost identical pins to attach a cable or put a jumper across, rinse, repeat. that's assuming you could understand the manual. this mostly isn't the case anymore. not being an idiot and reading instructions are still requirements, but you really don't need a whole lot of experience. if you can swap an optical drive or a graphics card, you can build your own pc.

[Squirminator2k]

if you can swap an optical drive or a graphics card, you can build your own pc.
I dispute this, largely because I've seen people who can swap out drives and cards and such try to build their own PCs and fail miserably. So... y'know... you're wrong.

[Shadowmoon]

We Need Worms On Ps3!!! We Need Worms On Ps3!!! We Need Worms On Ps3!!! We Need Worms On Ps3!!! We Need Worms On Ps3!!! We Need Worms On Ps3!!! We Need Worms On Ps3!!! We Need Worms On Ps3!!! We Need Worms On Ps3!!! :d

I take back what i said a bit of months ago. I wouldn't like to see Worms on PS3, really. I don't have one, but i'm never going to get one anyway. And after all, there's no important reason why they need to be on there!

If there is one, it will take a while. Team 17 are working on other games at the moment, some that aren't even worms.

[quakerworm]

I dispute this, largely because I've seen people who can swap out drives and cards and such try to build their own PCs and fail miserably. So... y'know... you're wrong.
there are things you can break. if you begin the project with the 'who needs the manual' attitude, you will. i bet these people were of that sort. because other than cpu installation, i can't see how a blind monkey with arthritis couldn't get it done. that, or they started with bad parts to begin with.

another option i'd suggest is looking for someone who knows how to do it. personally, i'd help out a friend. or if there is a case of beer in it, a friend of a friend. have done so in the past. no complaints yet.

well, at any rate, i mostly don't see a point on spending money on a media pc where regular pc will do fine. if you really have to buy one, just buy a normal pc, and make sure that your flatscreen and that pc will interconnect.

most cards since roughly gf4xxx era have dvi output, and most flat screens will take either dvi or hdmi. the later will work with dvi via adapter cable that costs the same as normal dvi cable. alternatively, majority of flat panels have vga input. so the odds of your screen and your pc being incompatible are slim. of course, it doesn't hurt to check in advance. dvi->hdmi would be my first choice if there are options.

in addition to that, if you want to use that pc as a dvr, you'll want to throw in an hd tunner card. these usually come with all the software you'll ever need to turn your pc into a true media center. make sure you have a lot of hdd space. raid5 is great if you can get a pc that supports it.

on the final note, for not so computer-savvy people, yes, i know that there are cheap media pcs out there. problem is, they are typically aren't all that great for gaming. if games in hd is what you are after, you should start with a solid gaming machine, and then add extra media capabilities if you want them.

final note, best and newest usually costs twice as much as marginally older hardware, while making almost no difference in performance. especially, if your system bottlenecks elsewhere on cheaper hardware. unless you have no budget restrains, shop wisely. ask people for advice, etc.

[raffie]

Building your own PC is more like building your own car

Hahaha, no. I've built my latest PC from scratch with the added factor that it was more a mod; I also built the case from scratch. And even though I worked a year on it, it is still a far cry from building your own car. Faaar far cry. A better analogy would probably be an Ikea closet. You can't do anything wrong if you follow the manual. I didn't have any expertese when I built my first PC, I just followed the manual. :)

[Squirminator2k]

A better analogy would probably be an Ikea closet. You can't do anything wrong if you follow the manual.

Even following the instructions, there are still things that can go wrong with building a PC. It's more like baking a cake - you can follow the recipe to the letter, but that won't necessary leave you with something delicious and moist.

[quakerworm]

that is true. things can go wrong. but that is true of almost anything. yes, there is less hassle with warranties if you buy a full pc and it doesn't work right. with building your own pc there is a danger of doing something that won't even be covered by warranty. but for the most part, if you follow instructions, you'll get a working machine.

and i think ikea closet is still a fair analogy. it might be a little more complicated with a pc, but you can screw either one up, and the odds of you screwing it up increase dramatically if you don't follow instructions.

[JBlueberry]

Okay, I just joined this board only to share my point of view.

1. I used to play "worms world party" on my old PC.
2. I love "Worms 4 Mayhem" on my PS2.

The problem is now:
1. My PC is broken and I'll never want to work with any windows-crap anymore (I'm a proud Mac-user)
2. I still have a PS2 with "Worms 4 Mayhem"... But unfortunately I don't have an upscaler to improve the picture to display the quality I am used to from the PS3 on my 94cm-Plasma.

Worms4Mayhem (or at least a 2D-Network-version) would fit perfectly into the whole minigames-collection in the Playstation-store.

thais we need worms on PS3! :mad:

[Squirminator2k]

Wait, hang on. So what you want is a version of Worms 4: Mayhem that's distributed via the PS3's PSN system... but you want it to be 2D.

So you don't want Worms 4: Mayhem at all, then. You want a PS3 port of Worms Open Warfare 2.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth having an actual ceremony for these things now.

[d3layed]

I agree considering the 360 version is really just open warfare part one. entertaining but not enough. at the minimum, they should give the PS3 owners a port of Open Warfare two or better yet WWP. I do certainly hope we get one. If so, I don't think I'd ever play anything else!



Worms on PS3 would actually be quite good. I don't think it should be a ported version of the X360 Live arcade game though.:-/

[Squirminator2k]

If you want to play WWP on your PS3 you should buy the PSone version. At this stage it's incredibly unlikely we'll see new ports of any of the older games. We might see a PS3 port of Worms Open Warfare 2, but given that the PSP version was inferior to the DS version of the game I don't think I'd get particularly excited about that.

[quakerworm]

it's been a while. was it the ps1 version of wwp that got bad reputation for not playing like the pc version? was it one of the other ports that i'm thinking of?

The PSone version is actually pretty close to the PC version, save for the reduced screen resolution and the lack of flame weapons.

[quakerworm]

interesting. i'll have to see if i can find a copy at the e-bay, or something.

[d3layed]

i just got my copy of WWP for the PSone and I really enjoy it. I just figured that if brought to the PS3, the online would be fantastic and since the basis is already in effect, it should be a relatively quick and easy port.

[d3layed]

I have a the 40gb model and the newer models coming out have the same functionality. they do play PSone games. I was playing FFVII the other day. One thing, although no big deal really, is that while you can create the virtual PSone memory cards....you can for PS2 cards as well even though the system doesn't play the PS2 games. Figured they would just remove the option.



Nope. Sony stripped it out of the more recent models.

[yakuza]

you can for PS2 cards as well even though the system doesn't play the PS2 games.

Except um... it does?

[quakerworm]

it might be one of these discount ps3 models with cut backwards compatibility.

[d3layed]

the 40 gig models and the new upcoming models don't play the ps2 games. the older 60 gig model had the ps2 components and the older 80 gig model played them via software emulation. mine, which is the 40 gig doesn't play them. just PSone and ps3 games.




Except um... it does?

[Squirminator2k]

Except that Sony are adding software backwards-compatibility with future firmware updates, much as Microsoft have been doing with the 360. So... y'know.

[d3layed]

that would be nice although I haven't anything other than it couldn't be done due to lack of any ps2 parts. the 80 gig model just didn't have the emotion engine, but had everything else. not sure, but it would be awfully nice of them.

I actually spent a few hours searching for a comparable version of worms for any kind of playstation today. I finally found this forum. If the company reads this stuff, please release the 2D Worms game that is on the XBox live store on the PlayStation Store. I am a big fan of the game and wish to purchase it, but I wont buy a system from microsoft, their ethics are shoddy at best.

Thank you.

Ethics? Microsoft is soon to be the plataform, reason, mean and tool that will allow its former director to make the biggest donation known to man to help those with less luck than us.

I can't stand anyone that says anything good about Microsoft (or IE, for that matter), let's all hate Microsoft because they tried to be competitive, sometimes borderline against companies which are not exactly struggling to feed their families. **** Microsoft, I will use their OS, their applications and take up with their **** because frankly, I'm too retarded to get myself to use anything else more sophisticated and supposedly better, but **** them nevertheless. **** them because they put a computer in every home. **** them for making Halo, a game which Americans can understand. **** them for making a console that's actually good, who do they think they are entering the console market like this? Chelsea? And last but not least, **** Microsoft Vista, fancy graphics are not enough to buy me, *runs to use his fancy 3D cube desktop in Ubuntu* now this is an OS I can have fun with, *boots up wine*.

Well, technically speaking it is after Bill has retired from MS when he will do it.

Sony continually lied about the development of the PS3, about what it would be capable of, and about the SixAxis controller (leaping from "It won't have rumble because it, uh, inetrferes with the motion sensor" to releasing a new controller with a ruddy rumble pack in it less than a year later is, I think, a tad on the iffy side).

Sony is the McCain of the current generation.

And Xbox is Obama. All it offers has been offered in the past, it offers nothing new, but people now pay attention to it because the opposition messed up, and becasue its black.

[Squirminator2k]

Here's the thing about messages written on the Internet - there's no subtext. You have little choice but to take things at face value, and the face value of your post was "Obama = bad". :)

[StoneFrog]

Liberals fail. They don't want to admit it in the big cities where all the hippies and political correctness roams, but they're just completely illogical in everything they say.

Did you know McCain proposed a bill to stop the economic crisis several years ago, but the democrats voted it down?

[Plasma]

Shoo, Stonefrog, shoo! No more extremist political posts for you!

[jelly worm]

Does anyone know if worms will be made available from the playstation store in a similar way that its gonna be on XBOX LIVE ARCADE?

maybe worms 5 will come out for PS3

[alex atkin]

I would love to know how Xbox does just the same that someone else did before too.

I don't remember seamless viewing your online friends, chatting to them, achievments, and many more things all while being able to swap between games, watch a movie, download a new game, etc. The new dashboard coming lets you do even MORE stuff without leaving your game, so its far from a copycat console.

Its far more the PS3 that has only a handful of new "useful" stuff compared to PS2 (yes I mean GAMING related functionality), bearing in mind I own one and am constantly frustrated at how primitive it feels compared to the Xbox when I want to do something and realise it wont let me. If the PS3 did not play Blu-ray movies I would never have been able to rationalise buying it in the first place at its price. But I digress....

[minute55]

leaping from "It won't have rumble because it, uh, inetrferes with the motion sensor"

XD the wii has rumble built in!

EDIT: also,it isnt unlikely that you don't see a worms game on psn,assuming they already have a psn game.(lemmings,and i have that theme you can download,im using it on my ps3 right now)
to save time,team 17 may put worms world party in ps1 classics.

[Spadge]

We're on the verge of a few announcements, perhaps during November...

[Kjatte]

Cool! Anything new on the xbox 360 front? I'd love a new worms on xbla

[MtlAngelus]

We're on the verge of a few announcements, perhaps during November...

It's cool, I come from a month in the future, from where I come from it's already november. You can tell me.

I uh... my internet wasn't working in the future that's why I don't already know what the announcements would be. Honest!

[houchens]

I was brought to this forum to find info on this topic.

I think worms would do well in the PS3 store.

Happy November.

[houchens]

We're on the verge of a few announcements, perhaps during November...

Perhaps not.

[kikumbob]

That was definately worth waiting a month to point out.

If you don't ever expect anything, you will always be pleasantly suprised.

[dangriff18]

The Graphics available and amount of people who currently have PS3s would not make it as profitable as a Worms on PS2 and all the people with Ps3s could buy it the Ps2 game and I prefer the 2D games however I'm sure it would be possible to have a combo of both a 2D and a 3D game to please all fans it wouldn't be hard to lift the benchmark from world party however worms 4 would be hard to beat in many areas. Hope Team 17 make it whenever they get the chance and email me as I'd be first to buy!

[dapope]

any news today? somebody? i recently got a ps3 with classics such as bioshock and gtaIV... but i would trade them all to play worms on the ps3!!! even an adaptation of an old title on psn would be fine as long as we can play online!

[Matrona2]

yeah, i recently got a ps3, and iv completed the games already! id love a worms game to come out for it! im bored.

[danax]

it would be nice to download worms 4 mayhem at psn and play it with you guys, why team 17 don't listen to us?!?!
we would pay a nice money for it!

[MtlAngelus]

Go bug publishers, Team17 can't really go around publishing games without a publisher's support.

[hogcore]

There is such a huge gap in the market for worms on current gen systems. Worms 5 Pleeeeeeeeeeeeese! PS which November should we expect to hear this big announcement? 2009? 2010?!

[Shadowmoon]

How do you know? the world can end any time.

And people who are waiting for a PSN title, Spadge did say "No announcement.... yet" in a post, so I think that hints that there will be one soon.

[MtlAngelus]

The world isn't going to end in 2012. :rolleyes:

Of course it will end in 2012. You learn that at school, it's 1st grade stuff man.
It will end because of a black hole generated inside the Large Hadron Collider, which is actually an ancient mayan design that was built by the illuminati for the purpose of destroying the world. The reason the US government(who is controlled by the illuminati) destroyed the twin towers was because of this. They wanted to wage war because war=money, and they needed more money to complete the LHC, which was far more expensive than they say it was. The twin towers incident was a perfect excuse to wage war. Why do you think we're on economic crisis? All the money went there! Also Obama is a decoy to distract people from this.

And, why do they want to destroy the world? Well, the answer is simple: Their leader is none other than Xenu, who has actually escaped his prison about 50 years ago., and he wants REVENGE. :eek:

Worms will be available on PS3 soon, maybe on Playstation Network.

Here the german news:

Worms auch für PS3

06.02.09 - Das Actionspiel Worms wird auch für die PS3 erscheinen. Das geht aus einer Prüfung der Altersfreigabe durch die USK vom 05.02.09 hervor.

Das Spiel von Team 17 erhielt die Einstufung 'Freigegeben ab 6 Jahren gemäß § 14 JuSchG'. Die Veröffentlichung ist wohl im PlayStation Network geplant - eine offizielle Bestätigung oder Ankündigung steht noch aus.

Quelle: www.gamefront.de

[Spadge]

Confirmed, not date as yet. We've not done any official "reveal".

No size limitation means more content than XBLA and it looks/plays sweet.

Bigger news further into the year.

[Shadowmoon]

Okay, now I wish I had a PS3.

Hope worms does well on PSN.

[xRazEx]

Please please please please please change the gravity/awkward movement of the XBLA/PSP version for the PS3. It will increase sales.

This time im not buying it right away. I was let down too many times.

That is awesome. I hope I get a PS3 for my grad like I've been hinting. (by hinting more of a bludging over the head with the flyers pointing to the PS3 etc.) If not, guess I'll have to go and get a job, which has to happen anyway since school is done. I think I'm rambaling now, but if I am, it because of worms on the PS3!!!!!! Time to put on my party hat!

It's gonna be crap in 3D. No one would buy it.:confused:
I'm sure it's gonna be an 2D version!;) And idd.. Worms in HD would be fricking awsome!:D

[Knocks]

Team 17, please make this the ultimate 2D Worms game. Don't take out features from previous games, include maximum content (foreign language voice packs from old PC versions!), and no dropped frames, please.

[Wormetti]

Lolz.. HD would be crap and just woud'nt sell good. I'm glad it's gonna be a 2D version!:D

HD just means high definition and Worms HD was the original title for the 2D worms game released on XBOX Live Arcade. A game can be 2D and HD at the same time.

Actually it seems like you confused HD with 3D.

It will be 2D but what hasn't been confirmed is if it will have at least as many weapons as Worms Open Warfare 2.

No size limitation means more content than XBLA and it looks/plays sweet.

That makes me think it will be based on Worms XBLA but with more music, landscapes and soundbanks. I just hope it also has more weapons than Worms XBLA and many of the features from Open Warfare 2. My ultimate worms games would be Worms Armageddon combined with all the features of WWP and WOW2 but I think that is just a dream.

[dapope]

Finally! Can't wait to try it on HD. Here in france they announced it would be released in March !

[Wormetti]

Holy Hand Grenade confirmed (http://www.vg247.com/2009/02/27/worms-psn-holy-hand-grenade-confirmed/)

“We can confirm, before we’re besieged, that Worms PSN does have the Holy Hand Grenade,” said Brown.

The PS3 version’s essentially a bumped out take on the current XBLA title.

“Worms PSN is… a larger, honed edition of the very successful XBLA game,” Brown added.

“It has additional weapons, features, more levels, more audio (no size limitations) options, runs in 1080p and plays very sweetly.

“We hope that will be out there sooner rather than later and will support soon with videos and full detail.”

There’s no date on the PS3 title as yet

[Muzer]

It's not likely to not have one, since every non-spin off game since W:DC has had it (IIRC)

[MtlAngelus]

It's not likely to not have one, since every non-spin off game since W:DC has had it (IIRC)

Worms on XBLA doesn't have it.

Well... I haven't seen it there. Maybe I'm just blind, but I'm pretty sure it's not there.

[Plasma]

It's not likely to not have one, since every non-spin off game since W:DC has had it (IIRC)
Actually, only about half of them do. Which is why they're confirming it so early, to make sure that there's not a huge hunka-chunk of caps-threads about it like all the other times!

[Eyedunno]

T17, I'm on board as well. I just bought a PS3 for SFIV (and the fact that PS3 games aren't region-locked, which shows me Sony is moving in the right direction and allowed me to end my long Sony boycott ;) ), and I would love to see a PS3 version of Worms, even if it uses the PSP Open Warfare engine (just please fix the "NOOOO!" sound effect when a worm is hit - that's supposed to be for when a worm flies offscreen!).

I love the look of the XBLA and PSP games (and heck, the DS version of W:OW2 as well, which I have, love, and still play occasionally), and I will buy this immediately and play it like crazy when/if it's released.

[Muzer]

OK, maybe it isn't in WOW1 or WXBLA, I must have gone crazy there :p

Whoa. =) =) =)

[Roboslob]

I hope in W:PSN we see the worm/team count raised back up to 8/6 again like W:A. I missed that in W:OW and W:OW2. (I don't know if W:XBL has this or not.)

[Eyedunno]

I hope in W:PSN we see the worm/team count raised back up to 8/6 again like W:A. I missed that in W:OW and W:OW2. (I don't know if W:XBL has this or not.)
Ya know, I would be agreeing with you if not for how fun W:OW2 was with just four worms per team. Having the option would be great; it's just not the most important thing to me. The improved physics engine seems like the biggest selling point by far, but I would even put fixing the usage of the "NOOOO!" voice above having large/numerous teams.

[Roboslob]

But I would even put fixing the usage of the "NOOOO!" voice above having large/numerous teams.

I agree with you there. The incorrect use of some of the speech was anoying.

The reason I hope the go back to to 8/6 though, is the PS3 can easily handle that and have massive landscapes to go with it. But even before W:OW and W:OW2 there was decreased counts. Some people like having those "epic" scale battles created by large numbers of worms and teams, and I think the main reasons that W:OW didn't have 8/6 was hardware limits, and that would have slowed down gameplay on a system generaly meant to have pick up and play and more action in the games to keep people entertained on the go. But on the PS3 people will "most likley" be in the living rooms and fine with the longer wait for their turn.

[Eyedunno]

I think the main reasons that W:OW didn't have 8/6 was hardware limits
Keep in mind that the PSP is significantly more powerful than the PS1, and the DS version of Worms used simple 2D sprites. I doubt hardware limitations are much of an issue on either console, and even if that had been the case, they could simply have limited teams of eight to two or three teams.

But yeah, it would be very nice if the option to use teams of eight is available, especially in multiplayer. My point is that I won't be complaining even with 4/4 teams. :P

[Merlin_Qc]

a french msg will follow because im french and im really bether in my lnaguage :-p

i had buy 3 days ago and i really like it but a little bit desapointed
its really fun the 2D worms with the essancial and HD !

but not a lot of weapons (15-20) but the good ones (cows, grand mother, fire raid and a lot more) are not there. no fire effect to.(donkey, rocket raid, baseball, bananas, "the alléluya" grenade, sheeps, kamikaze, proud, wall construction, rope, jetpack, and all stock weapons are there.

the game play is exacly the same and its why i love it. i prefer the 2d over the 3d. online is ok too but i have a little problem:

i have a friend who had buy to the game to play with me but we cannot go on the same game. in private game we cannot join the other and if we join the same public game it will crash and freezw the ps3 for the 2 and we need to turn off switch of the ps3...

i hope i will find a solution for it or maybe it will be solve on future updates...

Jai acheter le jeu il y a 3 jours et je ladore ! le bon vieux worms 2d d'autrefois! mon preferer olol

jai ete tres ravis que le game play na tjrs pas changer ce qui fait tout lattrait de ce jeu !

par contre jai ete decu sur quelques points:
manque quelque peut de jeu ou plustot de mission ou de contenue en jeu seul, seulement 20 defis quen 4 ou 5 hrs sont terminer (en guise de pratique) sinon on se creer une game typique contre un ordinateur le gameplay original sans aucune variante disponible (suddent death ou autres)

les armes osnt aussi quelque peut limiter (15 ou 20) tout lessanciel est la,(bat de baseball, banane, moutons, ane, grenade "alléluya", raid de missiles, tete chercheuses, kamikaze, les petits guns, ect) mais decu caril y en a tellement dautres que jaurais aimer voir(grand maman, vaches, vase, tramblement de terre, raid de feu ect en comparaison a wwp .

aussi les effets de feu sont supprimer aussi. on retombe vraiment a la prmiere generation avec quelques armes des autres episodes.

mais mon plus gros soucis est le online car jai un ami qui la acheter lui aussi mais l'ont arrive pas du tout a se rejoindre ni l'un ni l'autre. et quand lont tante de rejoindre la meme partie ont fait planter l'hote et le pse gele completement donc obliger de faire un resette a meme le power... jespere trouver le probleme ou que la solution vienne avec un mise a jour dans le futur.

[Merlin_Qc]

sure itsa good game ! u will have the samu fun you had with the first gen of worms and its really bether of all pixel junk joined or other in this price range
i hate spend money on bad things but this time i dont regret its the best game under 20$ in the psn and maybe the best at all but 1 thing solo is really short to acheve if you dont consider "play customs" but on internet the challenge with real brain is really more great and laught with micro on is really fun too

sorry for my bad english, im french but i hope it will help all of us to buy them you will no regret it !

[Merlin_Qc]

new in the bug my friend have a lot of problem to join any game (around 1 on 10 work) but if he his the host less problem occurs

not for me but not all connection work aroud 1 on 4 dont work for me

i think its the nat who make this problem he have nat type 3 and me the type 2

... any idea?

It's a bit unfortunate that the XBLA version of Worms (not W2:A) is nowhere near as good and complete as the PSN version. Of course, I own both, but still unfortunate. :)

Oh, whoops! Now it's time for me to be embarassed :o

[Malmer]

Having bought the available Playstation 3 version I, must say it's the most anticlimactic Worms purchase ever. It's the most cut-down budget version of the game ever, save the mobile versions.
But that's that I guess. I won't keep my hopes up, that the 'actual' game will ever make it when it hasn't already.

Owning all 2D Worms for PC, though, it's a real hit to the groin that W2:A is not even available for the mother-platform.

I'm disappointed and appalled, Team 17 :(

Malmer's right! Why isn't there a version out for the Amiga?!?!?!?! :( :( :(

[Malmer]

Yeah, a CD32 release is long overdue!


Speaking of the current PS3 version, I found the new physics pretty fun to play with. If a worm or grenade is entering a curvy slope at high speed, it kinda swoops onwards in the direction of the curve (rather than just stopping from friction).
I don't remember this from WA/WWP? Or am I remembering wrong?

As I understand it, they're working towards not including it in W2:A in favor of the old W:A physics engine?
Or has the original W:A physics engine been updated too since release?

I've tried googling and browsing these forums, but I can't seem to find heads or tales in all the different physics versions...

So you want Worms 2 Armageddon in its current state? let them fix the bugs first :/

[Malmer]

No. And don't try twisting this one out of context.

The "current state" would be done if they'd been prioritizing the PC version as high as the Live version from the get go. But they didn't.

Funnily enough, somebody just made a module for Worms Armageddon that makes this change to the physics.
Small world, really.

[Malmer]

That sounds awesome robowurmz. I just installed Armageddon yesterday after years of lying in the basement. Updated it to 3.6.28.0 to see what's new.

I'll look for this mod when I get home.

But if you could direct to the module it would be awesome, this way I won't end up installing the wrong one.


EDIT: Just to be sure: is it RubberWorm, robowurmz?

[robowurmz]

Yes, it's the RubberWorm alpha: the normal RubberWorm doesn't have this feature, but has loads of other ones.
http://worms2d.info/RubberWorm <- all the information you need is here.

[Malmer]

I'll be sure to check it out!

I fooled around a little bit with the regular RubberWorms in the meantime, but it's not yet bug free enough for my friend and I to enjoy it. Mines would usually keep rotating and prevent the match from progressing.

[robowurmz]

Yes, I find that to be a problem too.
Not to worry, he says it will be bug-free upon the next release of RubberWorm.

[bworm]

Nothing yet? :(

Has anyone tried installing windows xp or something on their ps3 and installing worms armageddon on that? Would that work?

[Wormetti]

Might be able to run it in an emulator on PS3 Linux but it would likely be very slow.

I was a massive PS1 worms fan. Have grown old and now have a PS3 and could not resist the pull of a PS3 version. But omg, what has happenned? It could be so much better, can you guys not just convert the original graphics and leave it be? It's cheap and the gameplay is flawed.

Where bungy gone?
Why is the homing missile different?

Landscapes are nowhere near as good, but in HD?

Come on guys, there's a huge market out there, make it worth my while next time...

[danax]

lets get back to basics with this thread...

what about worms 4 on PSN or LIVE? someone know if this will happen one day? I know that is a lot of 2D worms fans out there that are happy with those worms and worms 2 armaggedon on those plataforms, but come on! I think that like me there are a lot of fans of the 3D worms (like worms 4mayhem) that feels abandoned in this new gen of gaming. Would be veeery nice to buy Worms4 from PSN or LIVE to play with my friends like we use to do on PC and PS2.

some on with me???
