This will probably be the last and best worms game.
Worms 5: The final countdown.
Use "Europe's" song, "The final countdown".
It would have every weapon ever invented in the world of worms on it, and would have two discs. A 2D version and a 3D version.
Whaddya think?:cool:

Nothing new at all - just tons of unnecessery weapons and just a name that isn't cool at all, it just fits with that song. Besides - I don't like it :p
No, this will never happen. It's doubtly if Team17 will make more Worms games at all. :confused:

I hope not untill they have made the perfect worms game with everything from the others and more like vehicles with guns attched to them. You could have the option of playing the game in differnet styles- 3D, 2D, Forts and Blast.

Team17 are leaving 3D worms for a little bit (still thinking about it though), and they are moving on to other projects.

It would be great, having shortcuts through walls that you have to blast open. Especially as everyone could get through it once you had.

You'd need smoother deformation, though -- cars or carts couldn't really get over the relatively large, square poxels.

the evry weapon idea is good, but it tkaes a pain to program it...I know cause I'm an amateur programmer.

take ming vase for example...you could replicate it on worms 4 via custom weapon (grenade type)

w3d/w4 engine uses lightmaps, which are generated over time. you probably noticed how shadows get drawn on terrain with some dellay after the crater forms. this would have to be either replaced with shadow mapping or taken out for any real-time game, but other than that, the engine should be able to handle it. though, as AT said, something would need to be done to make the terrain smoother. for example, by making the poxel shape varry depending on wether the neigboring poxels are filled or not. it would be easy enough to code into the mesh generation code and would prevent sharp steps between poxel layers on the terrain.

Great Idea, Worms Karts! Yeah, really. no kidding.

2 Worms on every kart, like that new mario kart. Back one can shoot with guns u pick up from the road. front one drives. With some crazy stunts of course and short cuts. Karts look like they made of junk and u can upgrade them by buying stuff from the itemshop. u can dress ur worms as in W4M, only with more of course (like helmets). :) :)

Would be great ;)

Oh, and i made a litle drawing of my vision of it ;)

End it? That's dumb as... Poopies, I dunno. XD
Ending the series would be foolish.

WTF? Worms Karts? They should stick with the usual gameplay, I think that the kart idea is dumb as well, AndrewTaylor made a great point with his sarcasm.

I don't think Worms would work very well in VR. What do you do when it's your opponents' turns?

hl and hl2 have been moded into racing games. it worked quite nicely. of course, if you want a simple cart racing game, there is no reason to use an engine that complex. in fact, for a simple fan game, it might be easier to put together a simple 3d engine for it. all it really needs is to be able to display vehicles and the track with some 3d scenery, a few animations for the drivers, very simple driving (weapon?) physics, and maybe network synchronization.

Question: How are worms supposed to drive when they have no feet? I think it would be hard to press down on the gas pedal... because they would most likely push down the brake too, wouldn't they?
(You can just ignore my weird thought I had when I read that, but if anyone has anything to say [even an insult] I don't really care...)

Maybe they have little floating feet that we've never seen because they don't need them to use a grenade.

Hey everyone,

No offence, WormKarts...not the best idea, but I'd just drop a Sentry Gun in the middle of the road lol :rolleyes:.

P.S. - Good luck aiming a Bazooka and driving at the same time :p.

Ever heard of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!? The idea is the same, with worms weps.

Then again, the Mario series has been really pushing it, Mario Tennis, Mario Karts, Mario DDR, Mario Party, Mario Football as I hear, Mario Teaches Typing if anyone remembers that, what happened to the good old Mario days? So if Team17 does do that, they might release Worms Watch Paint Dry in a few years... plus anyways, like other people have said, already been done by Nintendo. And those people who make Crash, although some one else has brought that wonderful game and turned it into... nothing. Now Crash Banitcoot is nothing but a cheap money cow.

There we go, my two cents.

In fairness, though, most of the Mario spinoff games are quite excellent, and Mario Tennis is actually one of the better tennis games available.

Except for Mario DDR, as I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about on that one. I suspect you made it up.

I just want an Ultimate Worms experience. Every weapon, every mode, every everything.

Using the 3D sprite engine similar to New Super Mario Bros.

Make seven versions, DS, PSP, PC, Wii, PS3, Xbox360, MAC, and make them all be able to play each other.

Customized Worms (like Mayhem)

Map creator, mission creator, uploader ...

New features like Capture the Flag, more Wormpot.

Just more everything.

Make it sexy, make it wonderful, make it Worms ... make it the best Womrs game the world has ever seen.

That won't work, since XBox Live (and I imagine the PS3 equivalent, and the portables) are all "closed systems" and cannot be accessed from outside - ie: by a computer which is not that console.

And PC-vs-Mac is a problem when one is patched and the other isn't, since they'll be different versions, and will thus crash.

Nothing but a suggestion, I was thinking about this the other night, and how fun it'd be to play everyone without technicallities.

Heh, it's good to hear from you again ... I used to be apart of these forums about three years ago. I came back when I found my WWP disk. I went by the alias Wurm_Gutz or something goofy.

might not be an issue if land regenerates. MtlAngelus has a point on lag, though. plus finding storage to keep track of all the deformations can be problematic.

Whoa, sweet. Cancelled games. Yeah, that happens... *Sigh* (Sonic Crackers and Sonic X-treme are cancelled games that I'm very familiar with. Both would have been great games. I wonder if the "Worms Battle Rally" would've been good, too.)

MMORPG Worms? XD Are you frickin' kidding me..?
Yes, with the destructable land, that WOULDN'T work... Quite right, anyway.
Oh yeah, and guys, there ARE some things that they could still do-
Each worm has customizable equiptment and voices.
Instead of the whole team being the same.
And maybe a nifty utility that allowed you to make two attacks on one turn. (4 shot-gun shots, anyone? XD)

I think you are forgetting what worms are about. Its about shooting and strategy and war. I like worms 3d at the most. They are not childish and they require a lot of strategy. Of all the worms they have the best sistem between the player and the worm. The bazooka is excelent, and the jetpack, once you get use to it. So worms war I. A lot of games are sucessfull because of the actuall world war I and II. So my idea is to design the worms in this direction. Strategy and war is required for such a game, and worms are compatible. Worm units would have different divisions and fronts. In designing the characters:
-update the spech and animation of the worm while batteling
-use the same platform as in Worms 3D
-different wars can be fought. (Normandee, Vietnam(chineese worms), Yugoslavija...
