So it looks as though the new Worms title will be crap.

3D, realtime, battle royale. Blech.

Who writes this stuff?

Anyhow, the inital reactions seem pretty dire:

Sounds like T17 is late to Battle Royale party and and they came there with wrong IP. Quite sad.  :(

I've been a fan of the Worms franchise since Worms back on the Game Boy.

I am now, no longer a fan of the Worms franchise.

Well the franchise has already been bigger than the "standard" 2D and 3D games, don't forget about Pinball, Blast, and Golf, technically you could consider this a spinoff just like those other games.
But the problem is that they are promoting it as a direct continuation of the series (hence the "Worms 2020" codename).
Dec 30 2013 23:59:44 <StepS> windowed mode isn't the only thing you need about frontend
Dec 30 2013 23:59:49 <StepS> you need it to be actually bigger
Dec 31 2013 00:00:13 <StepS> it actually is very small on my 15-inch full HD screen
Dec 31 2013 00:00:25 <StepS> while running at 640x480 or stretched mode makes it fuzzy
Dec 31 2013 00:00:44 <StepS> this problem has been around since the Worms Armageddon's release and no one has even tried to beat it

They market this as having cross-play, but they're only releasing on select consoles. I'd bet money they will release it later on the other consoles (xbox etc), without cross-play. In typical Team 17 bait 'n switch fashion.

Indeed, I love Worms Golf and Worms Pinball.

And exactly what you said in your second sentence StepS.

Battle royale games though... I'd rather drag my bare balls over a small planatoid of rusty razors, cacti, dip them in vinega while at the same time attempting to sit on the worlds biggest buttplug, then join ZaR, than play anything to do with a battle royale game  :o

*Takes the bait and bites fiercely*

You just described ZaR's requirements to join.

But seriously, ZaR is not that bad  :P

I realize i've been taking a lot of shots at ZaR recently, but hope you know I don't actually have any genuinely negative feelings towards ZaR, I think the blitzed thing was funny but now I think about it this one here feels like a cheap shot and not as witty as previous banter lol.

When I am serious, people laugh. When I am not serious, people don't laugh xD

But I did not try to be funny with that blitz thing :D

And I always thought they can't make it worse than Worms 3D/Mayhem. :D

If this is the actual successor to the strategy titles (turn based) then Worms franchise is official dead. Worms Rumble makes Diablo 3 look like a decent successor to Diablo 2. xD
