Or.... maybe its just not ready to be announced yet?

I hope so!

I think the new PSP worms will be an entirely new game, most likely Worms Open Warfare 3, though I am hoping its a port of Worms Battle Islands so I don't have to buy a PSP again.

If it is Open Warfare 3 i'm buying a PSP for it.

So you have a Wii?!? I am making up my mind for either the xbox 360 which gives me more game options, Ipod touch or the PSP which has mobility and music :) If Team 17 announce a new Worms for the PSP :D i will most likely be getting a new PSP go :D

Yup, and this new worms will certainly dust it off.

So far I'd reccomend the X360, with W2A having 4 game modes, and a nice aresonal of weapons. Standard and Pro 2 normal modes of worms are the most played, along with forts.

But then again you should probably wait for the PSP game announcement.

What do you suggest ShadowMoon? PSP GO or PSP 3004 or Ipod Touch, i need it for music and Worms :D

Then you're limited by disk space, you cannot trade your games, and you can't buy used games which might be cheaper. I just don't think the machine is worth getting, less so at that price.

Well, it is half PSP 3000's size so i can take it anywhere and it can be my music player too!!

Lol, the mods don't care anymore as long as you don't post inappropriate content.

Anyway, if you want an mp3 player with worms in it go for the ipod touch. You get other multimedia capabilities not available in PSP, and much cheaper games.

Well, going back to the original topic, this game looks fantastic. Like a much improved version of W:2A, and is that underwater maps? That's nuts!

20 Sep 2009, 11:10

The game has more stuff because it was originally planned as full retail game and not a WiiWare game, the physics looked older than W2:A to me.

This game is good for Wii fans....but for now, it looks like W2A is better than this one.I dunno, juding by the trailer it already seems to have more content. The weapon roster seems about the same, but it's got more, better looking landscapes, different game modes and more hats.

Provided the weapon list is the same as W:2A and they don't screw up the engine, then it can only be equal or better.

Agreed. I love the idea's for the landscapes, and the backgrounds really do look a lot better than the X360, with more detail and everything.

I think it'll be close to W:2A at least.

21 Sep 2009, 21:30

i agree, it will probably have more hats and a new game mode......but i actually prefer the design of W2A over the WBI's one.
But.....i cant give a definitive opinion now,i mean i havent played the game yet......if he new features are good enough, this one can beat W2A......but for now W2A is better in my opinion (i insist)

By that, do you mean having far too many bugs, or do you mean having different physics than WA?

More info:

Hi Nils, thanks for your questions.

1) The Campaign mode in Worms: Battle Islands works in a similar fashion to a standard deathmatch but with specifically placed enemy worms. In an attempt to influence the battle, the player can also use a selection of new tactics at the start of the match.
Having defeated the first four missions in each theme, the player then faces a boss worm who hides within his own fortification. In addition to defeating your foes, you also have the option to collect a blueprint crate on each level. Collecting these allow you to create better and more powerful custom weapons in the Weapons Factory.

2) You can only customise your Worm with one hat, mask or backpack at a time but with 20 hats, 20 masks and 11 backpacks there's plenty to choose from!

3) The Ninja Rope and Rope Racing mode are both present in this title. Along with 39 other weapons and utilities. Not to mention the option to create your own custom weapons!

4) Price and release date haven't been confirmed yet but we'll let you know as soon as

Also keep in mind that it uses the Wii controls. And is programmed for the Wii with no intention of porting it to the PC.

As was said many times before in this forum (every time a console-exclusive game is released, there's a handful of people always asking for it to be ported to another platform), it takes a huge amount of resources to port a game for one console over to another, unless they were planning on doing that from the start.point was, FEATURES from one game or another could be transfered. obviously the control method is going to be ported of however is most convenient, but I was only talking about the game features. not the whole game.

I'm joking :P well, I hope what I said wasn't true anyways, March 2010 is too long when you've been treated to a nice trailer :0

This year tho, W2A was originally planned for a spring release, but lo and behold, it comes in July. I wouldn't be surprised if we got this next year.

I'm crossing my fingers that it comes this month, doubt it though. Team 17 have a facebook page btw, click the facebooked topic at the top of the home page ;)

I really can't wait for this game! 5 times more content than in Worms: A Space Oddity, for 1/5 of the price?!? :D
Ok, maybe not 5 times more content, but still, new modes, new weapons, new campaign, :D ONLINE MULTIPLAYER :D, new (great looking) themes, 4 worms per team (WASO only had 3...), NINJA ROPE, downloadable content, FIRE, leaderboards, option to select motion controls or not, new hats/masks/backpacks, big buttons on the menus is a nice thing, too (WASO had buttons too small in my opinion... The grave to my team was a pain to select...)...
And I actually LIKED WASO (probably because I didn't ever played a 2D worms game before, so I didn't have any kind of comparison... :eek:Shocking, I know...), so I'll LOVE this one for sure!

I have one question though... I noticed that the font (at least in the trailer) is not the one used in any of the most recent Worms games... Is by design? Is that the font that will be used in the game? If it is, then why is the worm's health in "normal" Worms font, and everything else in Arial (or whatever it is)?:confused:

Maybe because the trailer is a newer version of the game, or because the whole thing looks better animated, or because the resolution is different, or maybe because I'm weird, but the graphics in the trailer seem better... At least to me... :p

You are aware that you're comparing a XBOX 360 game with a Wii game, right? :confused: That's not fair competition...

I don't mean that Wii games look bad, and in fact, some of them are beautiful, but it's kind of normal that XBOX 360 games will look better...

Except we can. The physics will never ever be as complete as W:A. Never again. Not in any future Worms game. This is a fact and time will prove it right. They always use toned down versions because they cannot be arsed with the complexity, and it's only a minority who can play the game well enough to actually care about the full feature set of WA physics.

I love the way you even call it "W:A physics", despite that it uses the same engine as W2!

No, no, I love the way you say that the 12-year-old game engine is the only one Team17 ever made, and ever will make, that uses realistic physics, won't actually explain how it's the only one with realistic physics, and insists that the only reason they won't make it realistic now is because they're lazy!

Because W:A is the icon of 2D PC worms, also, the rope.

I'm sorry you are unable to control your mind making **** up abilities but I've never said anything of the above.

I never said they were the most realistic, nothing is realistic about it, however, it's the most involving, because objects are much more influenced by the terrain and explosion values than in any other Worm "engines", every kind of impact has a different outcome, as opposed to the console "store" games.
They're not lazy, they just believe it's not a good design choice to go through it when they can basically win more money by doing more simple things, we've gone over this a thousand times, defend noob casuals all you want, I understand this choice, but please don't try to get in trousers that don't fit you.

I don't even know why I'm trying to be reasonable with you anyway, you don't really deserve any information because you're unable to digest it influenced by bias and a need to prove me wrong beyong all reasonable arguments, in terms you can understand, you're the team rocket of this forum, being intelectually defeated time after time and coming back for your daily dose of fail expecting the day comes you catch Pikachu and make a thread about it so Shadowmoon can congratulate you and perhaps you get to see him naked.

I'm not arguing for the sake of argument. I'm arguing because no one here has any proof one way or the other, but for some reason you seem convinced that you ARE going to be right despite a complete lack of evidence or logical reasoning to jump to a conclusion. I get the point you're trying to make, but really all you're doing is being pessimistic about the game. you may be right, sure, but you may be wrong as well. with the evidence we have now there's no way to know.

So you think all this time Team17 is actually delaying the port because they're working on it? You need to get a clue. It's a choice of money, not a choice of contents. If it was profitable to port the game and release it on a digital plataform right now they would, but an extra feature or two is not changing the big picture of these deals. They're using their resources on Alien Breed or whatever they're working on.

I'm not arguing for the sake of argument. I'm arguing because no one here has any proof one way or the other

So basically, you have no argument of your own other than "it's possible that what you're saying isn't true". Yes, it might be possible that the port to PC includes new features and rich physics, it's also possible that a meteor pokes you in the eye the moment you leave the computer.

but for some reason you seem convinced that you ARE going to be right despite a complete lack of evidence or logical reasoning

I have my logical reasons, history, common sense, as well as taking conclusions from the way team17 works and releases its games. If you want to disagree with me because you believe otherwise then you can, but you wouldn't bet anything worthy to you, because you have no arguments other than "it might be different because nothing is certain in this world", hence you're playing devil's advocate. I will leave this forums if the port to PC includes any major extra features, physics comparable to the older 2D worm games or is being delayed because Team17 are actually working on it. Let's see how much fait you have in your own claims or if you're just talking for the sake of not being quiet.

Worms 2: Armageddon (for 360), not Worms Armageddon (for PC).

We're talking about the physics difference between W2:A and WBI, not W2:A and W:A or WBI and W:A. Which, no matter how pessimistic you are, might just be the same given how often Team17 reuses content.

You're the one that brought W:A into this for no reason, aside from your thirst for an argument or constantly pointing out that nothing will ever match W:A ever again the holy grail of Worms games all bow down.

Akuryou13

15 Oct 2009, 14:48

because you have no arguments other than "it might be different because nothing is certain in this world"and you have no argument other than your own beliefs that it will be crap. you can claim that your view makes more sense based on facts and reasoning, but the simple truth is there are no facts to base it on any more than there are for my argument. team17 have worked to create good games throughout their career as a company. they have taken player advice throughout that history and any time a large group of people ask for a change in the game, they usually include that change in the next game or at least one not far into the future.

sure, the delay in the PC port is because of money. I'm not an idiot. the point is, they could easily have a few people dedicated to fixing some of the issues with the game while they're waiting the financing to put a bigger team on the job of finishing the port. plenty of game companies have done similar things in the past when working through that sort of issue. of course, they may also NOT be doing that. the point is, though, we have absolutely 0 evidence towards either end of the discussion. you can think you're right all you want, but you've got nothing more to base that on than I do.

Sorry for using the most popular worms pc game as a tool of measurment for other less succesful worms games produced a decade afterwards, after all, no one ever *****es about sequels not comparing to the original concept do they?

Actually it went something like this:

-w2:a is better in graphics and physics than wbi
-can't comment on physics yet
-tru
-WON'T COMPARE TO W:A BLAHBLAH

See you went and started an argument that we all know is true anyway. ever since WOW1, up until W2:A, the physics have never been as good as W:A, and I don't think anyone expects WBI to be as good either. The point here is that it's dumb to say that W2:A has better physics than WBI because honestly it only has decent physics and we haven't tried WBI, which will most likely also have the same or similar decent physics.

As far as I can see, Shadowmoon was still talking about W2:A, and Aku was telling you that it's pointless to threat things as fact when no evidence is around(also he appears to be talking about the pc port of W2:a for some reason).

(also he appears to be talking about the pc port of W2:a for some reasonmay have gotten this thread mixed up with the PC W2A port thread after yakuza brought up PC worms games out of the blue. I tend to not reread through previous posts to ensure I'm on the right context of the thread I'm on. I was arguing yakuza's point, not necessarily the point of the thread. I simply didn't notice that the two were completely unrelated. I just knew that there WAS a thread for that sort of discussion so I assumed it was this one without paying too close attention (doesn't usually make much difference these days, especially with those cross-thread-replies).

good job, yakuza. not only are you arguing pointless nonsense, you're doing it on the wrong subject entirely. that's a whole new level compared to your usual arguing.

17 Oct 2009, 16:37

oh I see, I make a valid point versus a post someone madeisn't the whole discussion here about how your point was NOT valid?

and "I'm somehow the main culprit" stems from the fact that you instigated, once again, a pointless argument. this time, however, you did so on a subject not even related to the thread your argument started in. we were all talking about battle islands and how it relates to W2A. you just randomly came in to argue that battle island won't be as good as W:A. not only does my previous argument stand that you have no justification to think that, mtl's point also comes in that it was irrelevant anyway. this thread was in no way discussing W:A. you came here and brought it up for no reason other than to try to make yourself look smarter than the rest of us because of some notion that you have to be better than all of us. in this case, though, you made a complete ass of yourself and mtl's called you on it.

sure, we're idiots for not noticing this diversion of the conversation, I give you that one, but you didn't notice it either. alternately you noticed and decided to argue anyway. either way, we're blind and dumb, but you're an argumentative child trying to get an ego boost by making everyone else look bad.

you ARE the culprit. sorry. if you want to be respected for an intelligent person, you'll have to act like one. arguing constantly in every post you make pretty much makes people WANT to make you the bad guy. when you actually MAKE yourself the bad guy, that's doubly true.

and have fun trying to justify how intelligent you are that you made such a free-thinking argument where none of us were smart enough to grasp it, or however you're going to try to twist this to make yourself look good. keep in mind, though, that no matter how you respond you'll just look petty. much like I'm being right now. :cool:

I think Battle Islands will be better than Armageddon in it's own way.

It's not the physics and graphics I'm into, but the gameplay and weapons and customize-ability.

Battle Islands has a Weapon Editor, which was never featured in the previous games, not to mention a whole new array of fun weapons, and all the best weapons ever included in the series.

The game is also announced to feature motion controls, which Armageddon of course does not feature. I believe this will add a new and unique feel differing it from all the other games in the Worms series.

They said they will also feature new ways to customize teams.

Plus it's going to be on WiiWare, so I can assume you will be able to buy it for pretty cheap.

I can't wait for it's release. People are saying it might launch by the end of this month, but we'll see...

I can't really tell much about Armageddon, since I never played it, but I did notice some wrong information here...

The first one, about the Weapon Editor, Worms: Battle Islands is not the first worms game to have one... That spot goes to Worms 4: Mayhem, where you can also create a new weapon (and then assign it to one or more teams) in a in-game editor... It is, however, the first 2D Worms game to have one...

And then we have the motion controls, witch was also a feature for Worms: A Space Oddity (also for Wii), so it won't be add a new and unique feel differing it from all the other games in the Worms series, although I do understand your point...

A agree with you with the rest... :D It might not be Armageddon, but that doesn't mean (to me) that it is going to be automatically worse, and it can shine in its own special way...

I would love if it came out soon, but I can wait... I prefer to wait longer and have a more stable and bug free game...
I'm also having problems with internet connection on my Wii, so I guess I wouldn't enjoy the full experience if it came now, so it might even be good for me...

Like, like when you're told your good looking in your own way.

It's not the physics and graphics I'm into, but the gameplay and weapons and customize-ability.

Physics are gameplay, probably the most important aspect of the gameplay in a game like this.

Battle Islands has a Weapon Editor, which was never featured in the previous games, not to mention a whole new array of fun weapons, and all the best weapons ever included in the series.

W:A had the fiddler. Sure, it was 3rd party but it remains the most complete weapon editor ever done for a Worms game or otherwise, and it's being implemented in future betas, in theory.

They said they will also feature new ways to customize teams.

And yet W:A still allows you to put your own voices into the worms, paint your own flags and choose your worm names. But yeah, it doesn't have hats.

But still, like I said before, I don't have a 360. The first time I ever played Worms was for the iPhone version (Or the PSP demo at Target or something), and I am greatly pleased to see them coming out with a Wii version that I would be into. I read the reviews of Space Oddity and did not look like something I would be into, so I'm sticking with Battle Islands for WiiWare. I think I could get used to the motion controls. :p

No, they aren't. There are no 3D physics used in 2D worms - since there is no depth component, why bother attempting to calculate the third dimension?

parsley

8 Dec 2009, 20:41

...since there is no depth component, why bother attempting to calculate the third dimension?
Oddly enough, on certain hardware, it can be faster to compute 4-component vector (e.g., homogenous 3d) calculations than 2-component. This is simply down to the fact that the hardware is designed to be efficient at 4-vector operations: a 2-vector operation is performed as multiple 1-vector operations, but the 4-vector operation is singular and parallel.

If someone quits on you, he loses points, you gain some.

That would make me happy.

The new Worms games are incredible cheap. Actually a good strategy since lots of people will buy it, IMO. It just feels crazy since the game has more features than ever but just costs 25% of what OW2 has costed.

Battle Islands is currently in submission with Nintendo, so we should have a release date very soon. As for the controls, the game defaults to using the Wii remote digitally, but there are options to use gestures and also to use the Nunchuk, so hopefully there will be a control mechanism that you are comfortable with. Finally, I'm sorry but you can't create custom flags in Battle Islands.

You think they can't the way it is? 2nd (or more) player would need to go home or bring his console over, then both join the same server. It's basically the same thing I guess?. On the ps3 I've been beaten multiple times by some random friends cooperating against me, not often, but it has happened. I've never really seen the point of it though, unless my worms would be in easier to reach places. They need to kill each other anyway. :confused:

An option to switch allowing it on/off on your server when creating would be possible. There are a few games out on the psn at least that allow this. Playing with the ai is usually very boring, it would be nice to be able to play full team games when you have a single or two guests over.

[QUOTE=bworm;711587]An option to switch allowing it on/off on your server when creating would be possible.

Unfortunately, we're talking about a wii version of Worms :-/ Maybe you don't know Nintendo's consoles are way less interested in good online experience for players (Or the legal protection for young persons is taking over there, thats what I think) Whatsoever, as far as I know it will only be possible to host games by using friend codes.

Its just very difficult to get the full experience, you know the psn/PSP/XBox/PC versions of worms, in which its just standard there to use own levels, schemes, hosting enabled and so on...

There seems to be no difference from Open Warfare 2 DS in online mode than youre able to use your own worm names by playing in a random game (Yes, even this was not possible! You had to use random names, called "aliasses"!) and the fact you may host a game by playing with friends (This was also not possible! You had to vote for your scheme and the game decided which player's scheme would be played if your friend didn't choose "any" in scheme section.) But well, this is why I'll try to add as many friends as I can with this thread ;)

Oh, and besides, to answer my quote: Because of all the lacks I listed here, I think it wasn't just possible to integrate such a funcction. But, Team17, it would be great if you do this for the following Worms games :)

EDIT: Am I the first person here that made a mistake by trying to quote someone?

Unfortunately, we're talking about a wii version of Worms :-/ Maybe you don't know Nintendo's consoles are way less interested in good online experience for players (Or the legal protection for young persons is taking over there, thats what I think) Whatsoever, as far as I know it will only be possible to host games by using friend codes.

I'm not sure how the online system will be, you might be right. For some reason I assumed they would use a server browser like the psn version. I believe there are some wii games that allow you to connect to random people through a server browser, some fps games at least.

I'm not exactly sure how friendcodes work, do you have to add them every time you want to play with someone or will it simply add the person to a ingame "friend list"? Either way I don't see the point in disallowing 2+ people per console if you can only play with friends anyway, you simply delete them or don't add their friend code again if they cheat and you don't like it. :(

Right, you add them just one time, then they appear in your ingame friend list. Cool thing in the DS version was you were able to see how many times you won or lost against your friend and any other online stats of them, like worms killed/lost, how long they played already and so on. Hope this will also work in Battle Islands:)

Why you ain't able to play with at least two players on one console, I don't know. IMO, you are right, Team17 should enable this for the friend games. I still like it to play with my friend WWP online (He doesn't own WA:() with his brother at his computer as well as my brother playing with my computer. Real fun;)

They did. It was included in Worms 3D and Worms Forts as well, though they removed it from Worms 4 Mayhem for some reason. Open Warfare didnt include online play and for the later games they still didnt put it in again. Anyone of you Team17 guys might tell us why?

According to Nintendo's 2010 lineup Worms is supposed to be released in Q1. It should be released within a month if it's not been delayed :(

SBCG4AP

Well, I just looked at Team 17's FaceBook page, and apparently it's still in the submission process with Nintendo. They're guessing at an April/May release.

Nintendo didn't announce Worms at the WiiWare channel for the next month. What is going on?

From Team 17 facebook:

Kelly Byford:
Worms Battle Islands??? I just seen a release schedule for Wiiware for the next month and no Worms in site! I know it's in the submission phase so why the hold up? This is Nintendo's doing isn't it,they think we need a 100 more crappy puzzle games before they release any quality games!

Team17 Software Ltd.:
It's still with Nintendo and as far as we know there is a waiting list for slots once it's passed. We are probably looking at April/May time. But we will confirm once the game has passed submission.

Thurbo

25 Feb 2010, 20:46

Probably not even released in march... should be good as well, like this I can concentrate more on Worms Reloaded beta. Heh.

Same for Nintendo BTW.
I wonder if I'm gonna buy the PSP version if that one comes out first... Nah, I bet Wii has better graphics and a bigger screen :p

Shadowmoon

27 Feb 2010, 16:10

Wii will obviously have better graphics, not to mention more people playing online on it since its an incredibly popular console.

Well, bummer. I haven't played worms for a while since Worms 2 Armageddon has gone to crap I haven't played one at all. So I was hoping i'd be able to enjoy a new one this month, oh well.

Chances are that they'll be released at the same time. As in, that even if one game gets the go-ahead before the other, they'll delay it until they can both be released.

Thurbo

27 Feb 2010, 18:12

Releasing all versions at the same time is, however, Team17-unlike :p

While first Worms was for Amiga only, it later released for any popular consoles at the time. Also WWP which wasn't on PC at first, and it has been ported to Game Boy Advance and N-Gage even a lot of years later.
The best example would be Worms Open Warfare, first released for DS and PSP, next year on XBla, and again later for PS3 and one more time for iPhone...
Worms 2: Armageddon first for XBla, later for PS3 and Worms Reloaded for PC...

Why do you think would it differ this time? I bet they release PSP version first and afterwards the Wii version.

I recognized a weak point in my argumentation as well :p
All games and its ports I listed were NOT MEANT TO BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME ACTUALLY!
Worms Open Warfare 2, Worms 3D, Worms 4, Worms Forts etc... These games were announced together, and since Battle Islands PSP and Wii have also been announced together, there is a probability they'll be released at the same time.:)

No, it released for PC first.

I thought it was for a console first because this hadn't had WA. PC version first sounds weird since it didn't differ much from WA.

NINTENDO Wii (Digital Download Only currently)
WORMS BATTLE ISLANDS is currently in the final test stages for WiiWare and is a fully featured Wii game with a huge amount of single & multiplayer content. It contains classic controls and gesture controls and online play. It is a full Wii experience and developed entirely by Team17 without publisher intervention ('Space Oddity' suffered due to this). We would expect the game to be launched sometime in Spring. More details in a few weeks.

SONY PSP/PSP GO (PSN Store Digital Download Only)
WORMS BATTLE ISLANDS is currently in the final test stages. It is a retail sized title in terms of content and builds up the excellent reviews received for the PSP Open Warfare Series. More details, videos and such very soon.

I dunno wether I asked this before, you didnt answer it certainly though!

What music will this game use? The trailer makes me guessing it uses the W2A ones (the remakes of "Forest", "Outerspace", "Generic" and "Battle").

They are absolutely not bad but nevertheless I would like to hear some new ones for each level for some reason ;)

I wasn't disappointed if not, just wanna ask.

WORMOPEDIA

12 Mar 2010, 23:09

however,thurbo is hard to make new music because if u remember, the game is finished
maybe the new music can be used in a patch with some extra dl content:)
and the game is in submission with nintendo and sony

Thurbo

12 Mar 2010, 23:44

What?
I asked if the music is different from W2A and nothing more!

Seems you are pretty sure its the W2A music xD but where would you just know?

Shadowmoon

13 Mar 2010, 14:52

I'm sure the music won't be the same, either way just wait and find out.

Thurbo

13 Mar 2010, 21:17

Nah you can't know
First of all, the music would fit, second, they used it for the trailer :)
Okay that might also be because it wasn't finished there or because it was just cool, whatsoever, thats why I asked! Will there be some new soundtracks or not?

Shadowmoon

13 Mar 2010, 23:17

I don't know, obviously, but just because it's in the trailer doesn't mean that it will be in the game. For example the trailer for W2A XBLA included the Worms Armageddon theme music, but it didn't appear in the game itself. And also the only games that I could say had more or less the same music is Worms Armageddon, and Worms World Party. Worms World Party is essentially an expansion of Worms Armageddon though.

You'd be best bringing this up on facebook if you want a quick answer.

15 Mar 2010, 20:44

Thurbo

18 Mar 2010, 16:00

Since the W2A soundtracks are already a remake of some of the old WA/WWP ones, I think no. At least it would be a bit senseless.

Maybe not for the release day part but for the features.

I mean it's got islands, it's got the layout of the "O" of "WORMS" title, it uses themes of Battle Islands...

It's pretty much similar to Worms Battle Islands.
as Worms 2008 to Space Oddity
as Worms 2007 to Open Warfare 2
as Worms 2006 to Open Warfare
as Worms Forts to Worms Forts

...and so on, I think you got what I mean :p

It seems that this game has been in Nintendo's hands for some time. I suppose they're testing, but it just can't take this long. When Battle Islands was revealed last fall it looked quite ready to be released.

In the mobile phone version I've seen a very interesting weapon: an explosive which could be layed but would explode first if it gets hit by another explosion and does a lot of damage (Over 100) and creates a big crater. Could be used to set next to an enemy to blast him next round if you are sure he's unable to move away until it's your next try or if there is a mine next to an enemy (how evil!)
That seems... somewhat overpowered! In that it's rather rare that you wouldn't be able to hit your target as long as you're paying attention. Especially in multiplayer matches.

...although then again, it is good at balancing matches, as it's easier to use the less worms you have and the more your opponent does, and it doesn't work at all on one worm. And it isn't that much more powerful than a dynamite. But it's still somewhat unfair in multiplayer.

That's assuming that it's not a really rare weapon, of course.

Now the question: Is this also in Battle Islands? I assume no but you can't ever know ;)So its power is even greater than Holy handgrenade's? 0_o
I've only seen the trailer, but I think the mobile version is an entirely different game. There weren't too many similarities.

Also it seems that we'll get new info soon, and the game's just waiting to be released :D

Thurbo

19 Apr 2010, 14:08

Sure you are right, but unfairness is something you cannot prevent in multiplayer matches, nevertheless. I just think it to be interesting.
I just got remembered of the Trojan Donkey in Worms Forts with which you were really taking a risk, although it was very powerful (loads of damage). You simply didn't know when it explode (maybe not for ten turns) and that could have been too late.
Okay I know that doesn't fit here but for some reason I have to think of it all the time :p

If they hurry and get it wrong then they can not patch it, so they should take their time to get it right. That's the best logic:

Buggy game equals players play it for a week and game is a flop :(
Good game equals players play it for months and months :)

JSMCAG

26 Apr 2010, 17:59

They should at least advertise it more...
A total of ONE trailer simply isn't enough... And that one was in SEPTEMBER! That was about 7 months ago!

Come on, Team 17!!! Show us more about the game! :mad:

I understand that you're busy with Worms Reloaded and more, but you can't simply forget about this one... :(

How about a trailer to show us the new game modes (Tactics and Triathlon)? Or maybe the new Weapon Factory?
That way you can keep us interested in the game while we wait... Or am I asking too much?

Thurbo

26 Apr 2010, 18:27

No, you aren't asking too much (questions have been answered already)

Tactics: You and your opponent have an own island on which you can build something (or whatever is possible) which will give you specific tactics that will give you advantages in the battle on your island, while the next match in the in opponent's territory will give him advantages. One of the tactics allows you to chute your worms down at the start of the match (Like in WA: Teleport Option... but only for you) and another one lets you attack with an airstrike even before the first turn has started There are 16 tactics in total. The player that wins, however, will get the foe's island. (At least if you play on-line, not sure about off-line mode). This mode is unplayable with AIs.

Triathlon: Basically just three matches in a row: Deathmatch, Forts and Racing. Makes you able to play Forts and Deathmatch for example in one single match (That has never been able before, lol)

Team Weapons: Not sure if you played Worms 4 but it will be working very, very similarly. You can decide the layout, projectiles, if it has fire, damage dealt etc etc. Remember, to use all options contained you have to collect special crates in the campaigns (as in Space Oddity).

In addition, there does exist a preview of the game already. Here (http://www.cubed3.com/preview/315/) you are.

JSMCAG

26 Apr 2010, 19:23

Interesting!... Tactics sounds like a lot of fun, although no CPU's kind of weird.
What are the things we can build? Do we have to complete Campaign Mode to unlock them? Or the Puzzles? Or can we build anything right from the start? Do they change in any way the landscape during the fight? How many tactics are possible to have during one game?

About Triathlon, can we select between Rope Race and Jet pack Race?
The second additional mode is the Triathalon, wherein you charge through a standard deathmatch, a rope or jet pack race and another game mode to see who's best once and for all.Is the other game mode confirmed to be Forts?
Sounds kind of redundant, but we'll see...

I have my doubts about the Weapon Factory though... Yes, I played Worms 4 (doesn't work anymore now that I have Windows 7, though... :(), but I can note in the SINGLE TRAILER that it is quite different... First of all, there is no power gauge, so I really don't know how they will balance things out, especially online... And about the parts, do they have more functionality than in Worms 4? As far as I remember, choosing a normal grenade or a dice didn't change anything in terms of stats (not that's a bad thing, customization is awesome), but since you unlock parts through singleplayer, I would say they have more usefulness, but how will it work? We can't change the stats anymore, and different parts gives the weapon different stats? Are parts compatible with every other part, or are some parts going to deny other parts?
Can we build air strikes, or other types of weapons? What about homing? Is that in the "Accuracy" stat (1 star: normal - 2 stars: homing - 3 stars: Advanced Homing)?

Now I'm sure I'm asking too much, and sorry for the long (and rather useless, really) post, but I still find it bad advertising announcing a game and never talk about again for 7 months (but I have no power in the subject, however)...
They can still make a trailer about new weapons. What does the EMP Grenade do, per example? What are the motion controls for, say, the Ninja Rope? Even if it is a simple gameplay video, I think we deserve at least something... :(

Oh, just one more thing! Is Nintendo still accepting Demos? I remember last year there being some demos to download, of World of Goo and Bit.Trip.Beat, for example... But then it ended in January or so, witch was wierd... If it is, any chance of Worms: Battle Islands Demo? :D

Yea, a bunch of questions indeed and I cannot answer all of them. Let's start:

Interesting!... Tactics sounds like a lot of fun, although no CPU's kind of weird.
What are the things we can build? Do we have to complete Campaign Mode to unlock them? Or the Puzzles? Or can we build anything right from the start? Do they change in any way the landscape during the fight? How many tactics are possible to have during one game?

- The things you can build are just the tactics and nothing more. Here (http://www.nintendo-online.de/upload/images/2009/09/17/15635.jpg) is a screenshot, see on the mini-islands are things like planes or worms representing the tactic you got on the island. And no, all you can unlock are team weapon parts.

-The tactics seem to be set random off-line, on-line there exists one rule: The more islands you have, the more tactics you may use. By playing Tactics on-line you will gain the opponent's island if you win, means the tactic set there.

-I assume wether the landscape changes due to tactics depend on the current tactic, the airstrike of course destroys it :p I quite wonder if there is a tactic that lets you set girders at the start of the match? However, for such an action the island's owner has one minute to set his tactic to surprise his foes :D

-Only one tactic per match.

About Triathlon, can we select between Rope Race and Jet pack Race?
Is the other game mode confirmed to be Forts?
Sounds kind of redundant, but we'll see...

-I'm sure T17 lets you choose your own schemes for this mode, otherwise it was silly ;)

-Yes, the third one is Forts.

About the team weapon: I don't know more than I told you, I was just assuming it's like in W4M. Seems there are less options though.

In NoE's website Worms Battle Islands is said to be released in Q2, and it's placed in the publishing list just after WarioWare™: Do It Yourself, which is released 30.4. So the game is most likely released either in May or June.
http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/wiiware_8378.html

Also Team17 has already stated that they're just waiting for Nintendo's approval for release. They also said that there's a lot of updates and news coming soon.. Let's be patient ;)

Nintendo already released a list of releases until june if I'm not incorrect. Unfortunately it doesn't look like the game will be released before july or late june. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Nintendo is holding back because he wants to copy sony
lol its crazy but MAYBE Nintendo wants to release at same time as Sony
MAYBE is the important word however:(
Just looks like Sony and Nintendo wants to us be suffering
if i suffer a little more i will reduce my interest in this game

PD: do i ruined the other threads?
