Firstly, I love the worms series, but I am really getting tired of waiting for a next gen version to play on my PS3. What are all the other games out there that are of a similar style that I could maybe play on PS3 while I wait for Worms 5 to eventually come out?

you looking for PSN games or just any game in general?

cause I don't think there are any "buy in the store" sorts of games for the PS3 that are anything similar to worms. I have no idea about what's on the PSN, however.

games in general. Worms 4 was always the thing I put on the PS2 when friends came around. It's a great party game. There just doesn't seem to be any sort of equivalent on the PS3 yet. If there is, someone, please let me know.

worms armaggedon on the ps1.

EDIT:i know you said,like,NEXT GEN,but,hey,graphics don't make a game.he stated very clearly what he was looking for. if you're just going to ignore him, then don't post.

Minute55, you're on the fast track to having a trophy with your name on it.

EDIT:i know you said,like,NEXT GEN,but,hey,graphics don't make a game.But they do define what generation it's from.

I thought it was consoles that did that, regardless of games.

In which case: Everybody download Paperboy on Xbox Live Arcade! It's one of the best next-gen games available!

OTOH, in Mega Man 9 we have an 8-bit game released on a howevermanybitstheWiiis console.

And also the 360 and PS3.

"The phrase Next Generation is cited as a frequently-used buzzword, in which case its meaning is intentionally vague, but carries a connotation of newness or modernness." -Wikipedia.

I'd pretty much agree on that one.
Exception being the consoles themselves, which do fall into a definite definition, making next-gen in that context refer to whatever the newest generation of consoles is. Making a game just for those consoles doesn't automatically make it a next-gen game.

So the new Street Fighter is part of the last generation of games? Because I'm pretty sure it would run on the PS2.

Haha buying new games of the last generation hahaha

next-gen games are games coming out for next-gen consoles. But hahaha let's use the loophole to the definition that is recycled games being sold on online shops that can be emulated on next-gen consoles hehehehehehhehe
Graphics have nothing to do with it. Virtual reality is next-gen and I doubt that will have fancy graphics when it starts being commercial.

Games can be good or bad. Doesn't matter the generation. People saying otherwise can choose the ones they want, and live with it. If you enjoy a past-gen title you never played, it doesn't mean you are stupid or anything. And if old games can sell good among new gamers, that may not mean anything at all. Just that those good selling games are good. And whatever people say, that's quite the thing.

Plasma and Yakuza (or Plakusa, as I'm going to refer to you as collectively) appear to have completely missed the point.

WHAT! This isn't a typical Video-game rant thread? My bad there. As for a worms clone... I don't think there's any new-gen thing close to worms gameplay... Give a try at Team Fortress 2, but it's a FPS, to begin with :p

No, I missed no point, I did miss the funny in joke. I know PaulPower could of been talking about games with their respective console, hence yeah, a games do define next-gen as long as we know what console their out for, but ultimately it's the console that matters. It's your answer however, that couldn't be more wrong.

Gra`hocs do not define next-generation. Consoles do. You see, WiiSports was a next-gen game when it came out even though it could probably run on a Segasaturn.
Any game coming out for a next-gen console is a next-gen game (except emulated games).

the point is the term is vague. almost definitely intentionally so. let's just leave it at that. we all know what next gen means even if we can't quite give the definition.

I don't think there's any new-gen thing close to worms gameplay... Give a try at Team Fortress 2, but it's a FPS, to begin with :p... yeah, aside from both games having a cartoony sense of humour, both games involving shooting stuff and both games having an element of strategy to them, there really isn't anything to link the two.

The terms Next-Gen, Current-Gen and Previous-Gen are not only vague but most of the time wrong. By deffinition of the term, a console can only be next-gen up untill the point it is launched, and becomes previous gen once it is superceded.
Of course, it never works like that, anything that supports shader model 3 is pretty much concidered next-gen, and maybe thats fine, we can go on shader-models instead. In which case only SM5+ games should ever be concidered next-gen.
