Should there be a thread for suggestions and wishes? Or is it pointless to suggest stuff since the game is already so far along the development process?

Thurbo

Possibly, and in the end it will turn into a "Simulate W:A's physics because I want to take my hardcore skillz along" thread either way so I guess a general talk thread is just fine :p

No, please. Don't you start.

I think good suggestions might get lost between all the other posts in thread like this.

What about using Google Moderator (http://www.google.com/moderator/)? Hehe not sure if it'd work well.

That, coupled with that all of our suggestions are going to be thought up on the fly, and that none of us have actually played the game at all. Really, we're just making suggestions for the fun of it.


They do take small suggestions during beta testing though.

They do take small suggestions during beta testing though.if nothing else it's fodder for future games. They seem to have added a water-balloon weapon to drown worms on dry land (presumably) which is something that has been kicked around the suggest-a-weapon threads for years.

Now I say this, but I am the LAST person who wants to see another thread full of suggested nonsense like we've seen on every game since armageddon. I'm just saying that the suggesting may not be a complete waste of time (except for those of you actively suggesting things like bowling balls, reinforcement worms, and every other horrible trope we've been subjected to.... You should all just die. Horribly.)

I won't be buying this game if they don't include:

2vs2 Ranked
Clan Tags
Rank symbols (Would work great with classes)
Customise speech banks
Manual spawn positions
Even crate drops for both teams (Exspecially Forts)
Tons of gltches (Worms 2 Armageddon XBLA)
Tournaments (We need a tournament sign-up on this games arcade menu on a certain day and time everyone can sign-up to this on the menu and play and have a site to put down the scores for finishing tournament or on the game itself.)

Good. Then I won't have to worry about encountering you in-game.

I think a suggestions thread should probably be a good idea, keep that separate from the general chatter, i think MANY MANY people idea's and snippits on what they think the new worms game should include, i think for the most part, the more customizations and more options players have, the better off we all will be :D

Because I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, i think it would be nice if we could show the worms names all the time at all distances, with reloaded, the second u start to zoom out a little bit, all the worms names disapear!! its really anoying to have to zoom in to see them because people come up with cracking worm names, but you can ever rearely see them because you need to zoom out to deliver that perfect shot 70% of the time, its really hard to play zoomed in all the time for me.

Beth, Do you think we could get some more video footage of Worms Revolution from the players with the Beta testing that would be really cool to see.

There should not be any video footage (or screenshots) from those with the beta. That isn't the purpose of the beta at all and it is also against the NDA.

We will be releasing our own footage of Worms Revolution in the run up to its launch, for example the recent first Dev Diary that we've shown.

Yeah, they're British. They don't celebrate the fourth of July. They just skip straight from the third of the month to the fifth.

They make up for it by adding an extra Wednesday in the middle of the month, but only if it's a rainy week. Nobody ever notices.

I have a suggestion.

Will we be able to spectate our friends during an online session?

Would be a great feature to this title if we could. :)

Happy 4th of July yourself (tho' this date isn't of any real note to us) :)

The game does not allow spectators in online sessions at this moment.

Kel
6 Jul 2012, 13:59
So when you say spectator isn't allowed at this moment you saying you will install this feature during the ending part of building this title?
.

Please don't read too much into that. Just because it doesn't at the moment doesn't automatically mean we'll be doing it at a later date. But, at the same time, who knows what we might end up doing to support and improve the title should it take off.

I must say that this new game looks like alot of fun. I really hope that the class system will really add something to the gameplay and won't turn into a silly gimmick. I guess we will judge that when the game releases.

I guess the team that supported Ultimate Mayhem is working on this game as well, that's too bad since I really hoped to play the W3D maps in Ultimate before this game comes out. Hopefully Revolution will be supported a bit better on consoles.

Here's some more worms revolution footage and Andy Davidson.

Hope to see some more rope swings though and setting bombs down :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNsUBylMT6g
Agreed, it's hard to tell much about the rope from that video. I want to see the angle of re-fire, and some more swings to see how momentum is carried, etc. Also whether it's easy to flip up/climb. Good video though.

I may say for the 5 seconds on the rope it looked kinda good like bouncy like.

Hope you can still flow on the rope in revolution i'm high on the "time attack" leaderboards 1st in many on xbla.

Also @ 8:47 seconds in the video did he backflip foward? I kinda dislike that.
I think it looked a bit suspect .. the worm loses momentum as soon as he detaches from the rope and seemingly as he swings up towards flipping-up territory just before detaching. Could be the timing of the detatch (similar move can be done in WA) or rather potentially awkward physics. Wish I had had my new computer built in time to join the beta testing.

There must be people by now who are proficient and speedy with the w:rev rope -- I wanna see some videos showing it off, 30 seconds of hardcore roping, not basic rope race or noobish shopping!!! It doesn't build positive suspense showing 2 seconds of roping, rather makes it look like you're hiding something. And I'm hoping there are enough testers who roped in W:A being annoying like I am. Like it or not for a large percentage of players the rope makes or breaks the game. That and other playability/multiplayer/lag concerns that haven't been talked about much by staff except in roundabout indirect ways. Like someone else said there's a reason why the number of online players of W:A compared to Reloaded is so high.

I must say the videos and previews I've seen so far look good...and I like the idea of classes, dynamic objects, and the new donkey, etc. My hopes are decently high, but it seems like there could be some negative things that are being hushed up and smoothed over, some of which I may have said in posts that have been deleted. Things which for many would be serious flaws, which no amount of PR and asskissing Thurbos can make nice :P Seriously anyone who deletes my posts should be fired considering the direction Team17 has been taking; this isn't North Korea and those who censor the internet are always the enemy. Lack of replays at this point is a big deal -- it's the Worms3d map editor/cavern maps/camera fiasco again. Limited worms, fair enough. Clumsy physics and a poor rope would be the end -- maybe not financially for this game, but company reputation is a declining balance.

I hope this is not hinting at users on the Beta. The only videos that will be released are the ones we are creating internally. Don't forget that any video footage shown is to show off the game and not one particular area. We've got people working on getting the whole balance and feel right in Worms Revolution that have been here since Worms Armageddon.

Well... worms revolution, you know, the forum you just posted in. That's team17's latest worms game. It's not 3D, it's sort of 2.5D. 3D graphics but presented in a 2D plane, like littlebigplanet.

Hi there!

I just would like to know, if possible, if this release will support full games replays.

If i'm not wrong, WR only have screenshots possibilities, and that is just too little.
Games replays are a very important thing for communities and online competitions. And those are, imo, what really pushes the game forward in longevity.

Probably you all already know, but you can confirm what I am saying checking communities such as:
www.normalnonoobs.com
or
www.tus-wa.com

Many thanks

Replays are quite a luxury me thinks... How many multiplayer games do feature a replay system after all? No game in the Worms series featured replays except Armageddon in a later beta update which wasn't even developed by Team17.

Not saying it's not a neat feature to have, I just can't imagine it to be included, at least not on release.

I've played Worms Armageddon non-stop when I was a kid. And last year I re-installed it on my PC and had some great fun with it online again. Such an amazingly fun, addictive and unique game!

I suggested Team17 re-releasing Worms Armageddon with more features such as hats, and I'd still love to see them tackle this idea. :)

I seem to remember Worms Armageddon had replays in the off-the-shelf version - I definitely remember seeing replays in it long before the betas came out. And I'm sure I've seen them in Worms 2, and possibly even the original Worms.

I can't remember if Worms 3D and Worms Forts had replays, I think at least one of them did, but it was a fair few years since I played those.

Team 17 (and to anyone else that can answer this). I know it is probably stated somewhere on this forum, but, what features (ie. Missions, customizations etc) will be included? I read there will be some day one DLC. Is this true and what will it feature because as an avid worm fan i will buy them day one with the game. Apart from the water weapons and being the main feature of the game, is there anything else that will be done for the first time?

Thankyou for your answers in advance.

what features (ie. Missions, customizations etc) will be included?
• 32 single player campaign missions and 20 puzzle missions to exercise your brain.
• Fight to the death across 4 unique environments.
• Experience local or online battles with up to 4 players. Choose from 3 different game modes: Deathmatch, Forts or Classic mode.
• 4 different classes of worm: Soldier, Scout, Scientist and Heavy.
• Customise your worms using a variety of hats, glasses, moustaches, gravestones, victory dances, soundbanks and trinkets!
• New dynamic water and physics objects
• New weapons
• Award winning writer Dean Wilkinson provides the script, which is hilariously brought to life by the accomplished Matt Berry as unseen narrator, Don Keystone, a wildlife documentary maker.

I read there will be some day one DLC. Is this true and what will it feature because as an avid worm fan i will buy them day one with the game.
There's DLC available but it's not "Day 1" as such, we're still developing it at the moment! If you'll be getting Worms Revolution on Steam then we're currently offering up a Season Pass which will entitle you to all 4 DLC packs as and when they are released. This currently carries a 10% discount as well.

You can pre-order the game and Season Pass here http://store.steampowered.com/app/200170/

Apart from the water weapons and being the main feature of the game, is there anything else that will be done for the first time?
As well as the dynamic water (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=57030) we've added in worm classes (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=56566) and physics objects (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=56980).

Ahh, that's the only other question I could see from you in this particular thread.

What platform are you purchasing the game on? We're offering a Season Pass for Steam users which you can purchase in advance to save you a discout on the DLC as it's released, plus you'll save 10%.

There will be DLC available in the months after release, however these additional packs won't be there on Day 1 (we're still working on them now!)

I hope this answers your question.
