How mad would that be, you choose between being a worm or a hampster and each use the same weapons and utilities but possibly add a third dimension: abilities. Hampsters can bite, worms can detach the lower half of their body and still live (like they can in real life) but in this it would be like explosive or something.

Think about it, worms was really only originally popular because of it's originality and randomness, it's lost some of that now, atleast i think it has, so this would be a new way to spice things up, add some originality and i dont know about you guys but i'd find it HILARIOUS

1. It's hamster! Damn internet phenomena.

2. How mad would that be

Too mad. Apart from anything else, why on earth would worms and hamsters be fighting each other?

Why on earth would worms throw grenades at each other and shoot each other with rocket launchers? BECAUSE IT MAKES A HILARIOUS GAME!!!!

Weeeeeell... I've heard worse.
It isn't such a bad idea, but when the hamsters first are there, why not add other small animals and insects. That would be great.

You know that this is blasphemy?

You know that this is blasphemy?have to say I agree. not that this is a horrid idea or anything, it's just......wrong....

The article in Retrogamer #23 with an Andy D. interview sheds more light on the issue.

Actually, most of the time the worm dies when that happens.

Why on earth would worms throw grenades at each other and shoot each other with rocket launchers? BECAUSE IT MAKES A HILARIOUS GAME!!!!Yeeeeah, that's the oldest pointless counter-argument ever. I might as well just go "They should make a worms game in SPACE, only with highly unrealistic physics and completely crazy random events. And don't say it's weird and unrealistic, because worms using weapons and battling each other is also weird and unrealistic."

I can already imagine it.:) .

My idea, Worms 5: The Planet of the Dinoworms, you follow your team of Worms to this planet and you fight Dinoworms, you discover it was earth all along, instead of saying "YOU MANIACS, YOU BLEW IT UP! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!" you join a sing-along with the Dinoworms, like that Smipsons episode, but the worms raise up for a revolution. You can choose to play as the worms and Dino-worms.

What the heck is a dinoworm?

What the heck is a dinoworm?
A worm that growls, has chopped off the head of a small dinosaur and is using it as a hat, and has gloves made from the feet of a dinosaur.

and has gloves made from the feet of a dinosaur.
Ohhh, I thought they were oven gloves :p

Personally, I thought W4 was already pushing the whacky barrier, so I don't think it should be taken any further, but if it was done really really well it might work.

Because hamsters eat worms.

Because hamsters eat worms.I can see someone's not kept any hamsters as pets.

Hamster's do sometimes eat worms. In about the same way that humans do sometimes eat horse-meat.

...and the same way some ants do sing songs and chop down banana trees.

Hamster's do sometimes eat worms. In about the same way that humans do sometimes eat horse-meat.Hamsters live in desert environments naturally. Deserts aren't big on worms, really: not enough moisture for them.

Moles, yes (although it's still a daft idea). Birds, yes. Hamsters?

I can see someone's not kept any hamsters as pets.
Actually I have had 12... damn thing kept having babies, I think it was more than 12...
And hamsters are omnivores, so they can eat some meat.

Actually I have had 12... damn thing kept having babies, I think it was more than 12...
And hamsters are omnivores, so they can eat some meat.But have you actually tried feeding them worms? (And if so... WHY???)

how about if we put snails or something like that as an example? (they fit better here)

having pros and cons... snails would jump less, and be slower, but have more defence...

however, this brings new problems: if we play without being able to move, snails take advantage... and more, wich I don't think now...

so... or T17 thinks it very detailed or this WILL screw the game...

But have you actually tried feeding them worms? (And if so... WHY???)
No, I read it in a book, and my hamster ate an ant once.

Even so, I think there are far more "common sense" enemies for Worms to have than hamsters (I know my five tended to love lettuce rather than invertebrates). I'm not even sure why the Worms need enemies. They spend enough time beating each other up as it is.

And no animal in their sane mind would want to eat lead. :p

And no animal in their sane mind would want to eat lead. :p Where does lead come into it??

Well, being fired at is often called "eating lead". And since this involves firing at each other...

Or "eating depleted uranium" if you're being fired at with a minigun.

How about slugs? Slugs are close to worms, and they're damn ugly!

Don't forget snails.

Shut up. I like snails better than slugs. Snails seem cuter... I don't know why.

Shut up. I like snails better than slugs. Snails seem cuter... I don't know why.Why am I reminded of a children's book about a very intelligent slug who gets shunned by his snail colleagues?

Because you are abnormally strange. I do remember a Hungry Caterpillar book, where the pages had been industrially nibbled at, leaving holes I could poke my finger through until one day they got stuck....

I recall at one point he saves them all from a beer trap.

I wonder how do you trap beer.

"I'm an alcoholic craving for something to quench my thirst!"

I think he might've of meant 'bear' trap, because I've never heard of trapping beer...

I have. Its called guzzling. There are certain members of a certain team who do it quite often.

That poor unsuspecting beer, never knew what hit it.

A beer trap is a device for trapping slugs and snails - they are fatally addicted to beer, and will quite happily drown themselves in it.

And they have nothing to do with bear traps.

I bet you could easily trap & drown people in the Ossett area too.

Yes, let's put a beer trap in front of the Team17 HQ, wait for a while, and then go inside to look at all their top-secret-stuff-they-don't-tell-us while they're trapped.

Would probably be a good idea to fish them out before they drown, though. Unless you fancy making the next Worms game yourself...

We can bear to let Spadge go.

I think that's what most of us think will happen.

Now, see, you've just implied that team17 were going to make another worms game.:eek:They'll probably make one eventually. As I understand it, the series is just on hold at the mo.

They'll probably make one eventually. As I understand it, the series is just on hold at the mo.
Most definitely. Worms is their best selling franchise.
They won't give it up.

That's if as McDonald's would stop selling BigMacs.
Or the USA quit invading other countries.

Too mad. Apart from anything else, why on earth would worms and hamsters be fighting each other?
because hamsters want to go fishing.

because hamsters want to go fishing.Reply of the month, it has to be said XD

maybe they are waiting until the release of the ps3 and the wii to make a good 3D worms game

maybe they are waiting until the release of the ps3 and the wii to make a good 3D worms game
If that were true, then they would have already started making those games. Developers dont need to wait until a console is finished before they can start making games for it.

But its almost entirely certain that once they've finished this "break" from worms they will include the new consoles in their plans.

If that were true, then they would have already started making those games. Developers dont need to wait until a console is finished before they can start making games for it.
sometimes, they do. for t17 to get the dev kits at this stage, they would have to find a publisher and commit to creating a game, if i understand it all correctly. in case of worms, it makes much more sense to wait for the systems to actually come out and see what they are capable of. in fact, in case of ps3, once the system is released, t17 coders can write the code for it without needing any contact with sony whatsoever using ps3's linux os. that would allow them to see how far the system can be pushed, and build a proof of concept engine that can be shown off to publishers.

Worms vs. Hamsters...

Hamsters would kill worms just stomping good on them.

HOW ON EARTH CAN WORMS EVEN MAKES WEPONS? HUH? The world may never know...

Worms vs. Hamsters...

Hamsters would kill worms just stomping good on them.I've kept five hamsters, and I can conclusively say they're not very good at stomping on things. Looking puzzled, yes, they're past masters at that, but they're about as stompy as a Matchbox car.

Plus a fully grown earthworm and a fully grown hamster are about the same length.

How mad would that be, you choose between being a worm or a hampster and each use the same weapons and utilities but possibly add a third dimension: abilities. Hampsters can bite, worms can detach the lower half of their body and still live (like they can in real life) but in this it would be like explosive or something.

OMGZ this is hte bestest idea team17 evar had!!!!!11

i'm LIKE SOOOO PSYCHED to find out how hamPsters look on the UNREALE 3 ENGINE, i bet they'll use the FUR SHADER all over the place!!!!!@

MAY I BE SO BOLD AS TO MAKE AN SGUGESTION THOUGH:

if your maeking a worms hampsters gaem why not go ALL THE WAY and also maek STRAWBERRIES
THEY WILL HAEV GLOSSY HDR UNREALE PIXAL SHADAR

but possibly add a FOURTH DIMENSION: BEING SQUASHD
fourh dimension, it's liek a TIME paradox!

so for exampul liek when a worms are squashed they BECOME TWO WORMS liek in real life rite? and hamstars become ROADKILL liek in real life and strawberries become STRAWBERRY SAUCE for ICE CREAM

HAHAHA THAT SI SO HILAROUS IT IS RADNOM LOLL RITE?

and then you coud have liek a hilarius random map level scheme liek teh FRUIT SCHEME MAP IN WORMS ARMHADEGGON, only the STAWBERRIES are PLAYABLE and you can SQSH THEM OMG!!!! SQASH THEM WITH HAMSTARZ and you can DIG THRU THE APPLES with ur WORMS liek real worms do! THIS SI AMAZANG!

however i disagree, it wouldn't be like explosive or something.

Think about it, worms was really only originally popular because of it's originality and randomness, it's lost some of that now, atleast i think it has, so this would be a new way to spice things up, add some originality and i dont know about you guys but i'd find it HILARIOUS

i agre tho, womrs was only populair bcz it wuz RANDOM liek you had grenads and bazookers IT'S SO RNADNOMM! SO HILARIOUS LOLL IT MAEKS ME CHORTLE HYSTRERICALLY JUST THINKING ABOTU IT

but seriously, it's not a very good idea, gb/2 grade school

i'll keep you busy

do you really think this will do any good?
whatever happened to freedom of speech?

you can't keep banning me forever unless you shut down the forum for all users.

whenever i want to i'll keep coming back like a hat-induced rash.

You're being an idiot.

(Gotta love that freedom of speech)

You're being an idiot.

just be careful not to say anything negative about team17 if you want to keep your precious freedom of speech!

Team 17 have made some games in the past that I consider either poor ideas, or good ideas poorly executed.

They have also made some very good games.

Okay, let's be sensible about this. This is not a democracy. Forums rarely are: they are benevolent dictatorships, ruled by the admins with the mods as a kind of secret police. And I accept this, because they are, on the whole, benevolent. The difference between this and a real-life dictatorship is that, should I wish, I could vote with my feet and walk out at any time. If we all did this, there would be no forum. It is therefore in the forum staff's interests to remain benevolent.

Democracy isn't necessarily a good thing. Without careful checks and balances, it has another name: mob rule.

Freedom Of Speech isn't necessarily a good thing. It allows people to defend slander and libel by saying "I can say what I want" or "I'm entitled to my opinion" when it's just plain whack.

Yes, there's the slippery slope argument, but I redirect you to my point about voting with my feet. As long as the individual and the "government" can come to an agreement on what constitutes reasonable comment, there is no trouble. If it becomes unreasonable to the "government", they have the power to do as they see fit. If it becomes unreasonable to the indivual, then it's no skin off their nose if they leave.

There are plenty of forums out there with far more arbitrary and draconian admins than Team17.

Freedom of speech doesn't exist on a privately owned forum
