The Microsoft question seems close in hand, it would be more then a Nightmare if they would have said that MS would have bought them only onto their side. Or said that they would stop producing games, or not gonna continue any more on the W series, but I guess that wouldn't happen, if there aren't some huge drawback's in the financial accounting, and it doesn't seem like their would be, as some other games have been looming quite awhile now. The last thing could be, if some other company would have bought up the Worms series, and they would just make some mainstream games in the future, and it would go at the direction of the Mega Man and (somewhat) Streef Fighter series, but Capcom Vs SNK 2 is still a very good game, collecting some of the best things from a lot of the latest games, both produced by Capcom and SNK, just too bad,that SNK went bankrutt :(.

The worst thing you could hear from us happened at the Karaoke evening. LOL You need to bring a recorder next time. Then again, maybe I don't want to hear it.;)

1,2,3,7, and 9 I would hate to hear!:eek: I'll narrow it down to number 1. The one that's best to hear of those stated would probably be that one about my posts getting deleted.=P

20 Feb 2003, 11:11
Probably all of them, but especially the one about only producing X-Box games and the banning one.

Also, I'd hate it if Team17 shut this forum down before W3 was released.

the teletubbies one... *shudder*

20 Feb 2003, 21:53
I guess I'll have to go with a combination of the Xbox one and the teletubies one.........
But what would really **** me off is if a company desided to make the mac version of Worms 3D but then they went bankrupt right before the finished the beta(remember Worms Armageddon...........).

Shock announcement today

"Talented software development crew Team17 abandon game design to concentrate on their solo careers"

APJ says "I've always wanted to make garden gnomes, I think the split will be good for everyone"

Kel says "I was a bit sick of all the drugs and booze anyway, I'm off down to the welfare office"

Liquid Silk "I'm moving to New Zealand to stalk Apollo"

Spadge "It was good but nothing lasts forever. I've decided to apply for a hermits job in the Shetlands "

Funnily enough Jegg was actually thinking about coming over there to stalk you anyway. He had a full 2 weeks planned, about how he was going to follow you home and hang about in your back garden.

Stalking holidays are the new thing.

hey come on y'all
if they didn't make worms 3 that would be the worst


then again Tellitubbies are pretty sickening *shudders 3 times*:D

I'd say the worst thing we could hear is "The release date of Worms 3 has slipped back a year.." etc. That would suck.

"You're banned!" :eek: If anybody here should be grateful for his respectable status, it's me. Not only have I been guilty of quite a few spam-tinted posts, but let's not forget all the arguments I used to get into.:p

Runner up would be the X-Box one! NOOOO! X-Box is EVIL!:mad:

SomePerson
21 Feb 2003, 23:57
I'd rather be banned then have production on W3 stopped or shifted to XBox only.:o

BetongÅsna
22 Feb 2003, 03:49
My worst would be no Donkey. It would be effectively surrendering to the Darkside, and it should look pretty damn good when it's done.

I voted no W3 (although i would stilll buy the chess game, and enjoy it most likely:))
Simply because there would be no Donkey either way, and i'd rather have a game without a Donkey =shudders several times, hits self= than no game at all.

Dim Worm
22 Feb 2003, 23:01
All of them, runner ups on Xbox, losing everything of W3 and the Teletubies thing(have anyone here played a flash game where you could kill teletubies? It makes you feel like you've done your duty:D) *Shudders 4 times*.

Pickleworm
23 Feb 2003, 13:33
"X-Box rules"

Without a doubt, I would leave permanatley the forums if I heard a staff person mutter those words.

23 Feb 2003, 14:35
Most of them are pretty bad, but the teletubbie one is especially bad *shudders 17 times*

Hey, I was in Huddersfield University today! Nice place. What doing? Can you come here again and tell the admins in the School of Computing and Engineering to set up port forwarding for 6667/17010-17012? I haven't been able to go on wormnet since August and its KILLING me :(.

PinkWorm
25 Feb 2003, 01:43
i think the worst would actually be - "we are only going to release W3 on Xbox" that would be even worse than if their HQ burned down - if the HQ burned down they might still make the game - the release date might move:D

but if they said just xbox then that would mean we would NEVER get to play it on pc.

i hate Gaming consoles...

M3ntal
25 Feb 2003, 16:28
but if they said just xbox then that would mean we would NEVER get to play it on pc.Until someone makes an emulator that works (they seem to average at about 7 years after the console releases).

AndrewTaylor
25 Feb 2003, 18:57
An emulated X-Box version would still be Evil.

Kjatte
26 Feb 2003, 12:43
I'd say the worst thing we could hear is "we've decided to sell the company so we all become millionairs."

..if only it were that easy!!! Still, I think most would like to finish worms3 before retiring to a paradise isle.

All this impression that it's the high life and rock & roll in this business... its been a tough time for a lot of developers in Europe particularly.

SupSuper
26 Feb 2003, 22:16
I'd say the worst thing we could hear is "we've decided to sell the company so we all become millionairs." nah.

now that would be EVIL :rolleyes:

The worest thing I could hear from team 17 is one of the following 2 things

1) They stop making games
2) They get drunk and dance in the local bar/club to the "stripper song" (I know most of you will know what I mean by that :rolleyes: )

[Edit: I have an new music CD "Party Dance Funtime" and it has the "Stripper Song" on it]



The worst thing you could hear from us happened at the Karaoke evening.

I thought it wasn't over till the fat lady sings? (as the old saying goes...) :confused:

But then again I have seen people sing happily while drunk. For example, I saw this guy get beaten up outside over the road by a woman (they are bad people living there, always aguing, etc) and he laid still for 5 mins not moving.... (all the other neighbours were watching to). Suddenly he springs up, and dances off happily as nothing had happen... now thats something you don't see every day (of coruse the police come a few hours later though).

Students at the uni may get their hands on the w3 editor early too. Cool, that's that new course they started this year that i wish they had started when i was applying. I hope i get some of the action still though. Let me know if you're coming here again, it'd be cool to meet you :). For reference, i'm on the Software Development with Artificial Intelligence course (year 2), and my Student ID is C0158306.

Edit: The flapjacks from the vending machine in the common room in Canalside West are yum ;).

Yes, hark how the angels sing for Flapjacks.

I think I would commit ritual suicide if I went onto the Team 17 website and read , "We have decided to pull out of the Games Industry and instead work on developing new ways of Getting Drunk."

Although from what I've read on certain personage's homepages *cough*Spadge*cough* I think they've been working on that anyway.

Team 17 announce new game "Drunken Night in Ossett". The game, described by many as "GTA3's surley younger brother" will feature an accurate world based around Ossett, Yorkshire, and will feature an innovative engine allowing you to fully interact with it's citizens. Using a unique control system, you can assign controls to various Drunken Abilities such as Random Fight Picking, Hitting On Someone Else's Girlfriend and Projectile Vomitting. Team 17 startled the Gaming Undustry when they announced that this would not nly be an X-BOX exclusive, it would be the last game released under the Team 17 name as they are to be bought my Microsoft at the end of this year.

Resdient Evil 0 has the best graphics I've ever seen; and it's for 'cube. Some of the 'cube games appear more childish, but are really fun. Pikmin appears extremely childish, yet it's a great game. It isn't just mindless running around blasting people's heads off.

I can't really be bothered with the console market any more - the Wii is most likely going to be my last one. It's a shame that I'll be punished for such an attitude.

Hey-o. Nice to see my horrible grammar come back and haunt me. :p

Speaking of the Wii, I haven't touched it since I got my Xbox360. :o Part of it because I've been trying to complete GTAIV and Fallout 3, another part of it because I can't find any new Wii games that look good and/or interesting. That's all going to change when Cavestory comes out for the Wii tho. :P

Seriously all I see is party/sports games and latest-family-movie-based games for it... :(
