13.01.05 Worms 4 Announced [S]Zogger!
As we are a worms site after all, it's probably worth mentioning the announcement made by Team17 & Codemasters that the next worms game, Worms 4: Mayhem, has been announced today, due for release in Q2 2005, and if you're not a forum regular you may well have missed the announcement elsewhere.

Anyway, If you've been dissappointed with the customisation available in the latest ventures into 3d by team17, then you may be interested to know that a new feature for the worms series will be a "Weapons Factory", where you can customise the look and all sorts of other aspects of your weapons.

Whilst this isn't a map editor or an ability to actually model your own weapons (which would no-doubt be somewhat difficult in 3d), it certainly is looking back to the days of Worms 2 when customisation was everything.

Other notable features include:
  • much smoother terrain deformation; terrain is fully destructible and won't look blocky like in worms3D
  • the ability to give your worms hats, glasses and various other accessories
  • Land has become more prominent (reducing the number of water deaths, hooray)
  • missions will include objectives such as destroying certain scenery


There's been another change of publisher, too. Codemasters will be publishing the game, which is an interesting move. I don't know about anyone else, but I've been playing codemasters games back into the Amstrad days, and have been happy with all of them. Hopufully W4:M will prove to be the same.

The full press release is available on the new site at http://www.wormsmayhem.com

edit: Just browsing the codemasters website, and I noticed W4:M is listed as a DVD release. Interesting point to note.

2D worms is dead. 3D worms is crap. If they wanna keep the series going, they need to think of a new idea. Worms Blast for example, a completely new gaming style. We need a new style.

Ooo... snazzy.

[S]Bloopy Said:
I believe they are thinking of a new style Indi. The W3D team moved straight onto Worms Mayhem, and now the Worms Forts team is supposedly working on something surprisingly different.

I grieve for your HDD Knifa. I hope you have a good resting place picked out, and that you also know how to get all your music back *coughcough*.

[]HarrY Said:
I agree.

[]Glenn Said:
Well, what else do you expect them to do. As of right now, they can't go back to 2d, because no one wants to publish for it. However, maybe after a while with Codemasters, they'll go back to the roots, or even try something new.

[]Indi Said:
Well either try something new, or stop making Worms games. Don't keep releasing this garbage for the sake of making more in the series.

[]Indi Said:
BTW Bloopy, Worms Mahyem is not a new style. It's Worms3D with new features.
