2 months since the beta test program has ended. And i think Skime and me had more insight than you on this game to be honest.

Fact is that it is absolutely impossible to re-write the whole physics of the game in 2 months. And another fact is that they wouldn't place a trailer of Worms Reloaded on Steam showing the old physics while the new physics should be so much better... i don't wanna say the game will become a flop though, it will still be fun for people who never played Worms or even for some W:A players. It won't replace it though and it never wanted to i guess. Hence Worms Reloaded and not W:A 2...

Rope physics is exactly like WA as some T17 member said yesterday.

Dunno in which way you are involved in this but that's complete rubbish.

Well HHC, you'll be disappointed when you played it, trust me. The physics and other stuff (like getting ported near mines or hazards) make strategic play almost impossible. You need more luck then brains with issues like that. Also the maps are simply too small.

Lol i did exactly the same thing on an old keyboard once...

Hm, it's limited to max 4 players, max 4 worms per team and as far as I can see there are only 9 different kinds of wind including 0 wind.. That's just what I know, there are probably more restricted features like maps and stuff.

Simplicity can be quite awesome in some games but I think Worms Reloaded is limited in way too many things. That's probably because it's only (and I consider this an insult to all PC users) a rip-off of the console version and made for casual gamers.

From the publisher's side that's probably not a bad thing as it will draw more people into playing the game, but for hardcore fans of 2D Worms (like most of us are) it's most likely going to be a disappointment.

I hope Team17 will prove me wrong, though.

All true. The excuse this game has though is that it's not a full price title. It'll still be fun though for people that never played a Worms game i guess...

Edit: Oh and most PC games nowadays are a rip off of Console versions. Simply because the publisher want to please the console people first as it is the bigger market i think.

Yeah i guess they made the physics engine and then saw they couldnt tweak it enough to make it fit.

Quote from: Ray on July 28, 2010, 07:10 PMJust think from their prospective, who's bothered to spend a year working on a game to be sold for like, what, 200 people? They want other people to be involved.

Sure but how long will it be popular if the gameplay is simple and the physics suck? Anyway, commercial success is more a matter of marketing, advertising the game and stuff. If they would make it similar to what we are used to about a Worms 2D game they would have us in the pocket already. Then advertise it a bit and you get a whole new pool of customers. Maybe make it fit to todays standards about graphics, sound and stuff... i think it would be a success. And i dont think the couple of hundred still active online worms players are the whole thing btw... i bet theres 4-5 times more still playing it offline with friends for a laugh.

@ Lacoste: Worms Reloaded is being made with thoughts of W:A and WWP players in mind so they definitely aim for them when they make this game. Ask Skime.

Totally agree with you Nail. I mean the fact that they develop another 2D Worms shows that they know what the people want but instead of analysing exactly what made this game so popular they completely re-newal the physics into some crap... wasted chance, the new weapons could ve really brought some new tactics in this game.

Why so defensive, i was not trying to offend you in any way. I simply figured that when MonkeyIsland says there have been accounts created for voting on this poll they were created to vote yes, unless you can point out to me why they coulda been created to vote no.

Nah, just figured you told a few guys you know from your w2 times to vote in this. And if 5 or 6 new accounts get created and the first action from those guys are to vote in this poll it's kinda suspicious don't u think?

Whatever, just seemed like you want to push this through at any cost.

Well i know you would love to see this as a league scheme but cheating this poll won't help anyone... if people don't want it you'll have to face it. That's called democracy. No need to dictate people what's the best for them. That's no good for any1...

"Mouarf", obviously that that had to come from a frenchie^^.
