I noticed something strange with the world generator (of the PS3 version).

Whenever I start a new local MP match (after selecting teams and settings and pressing start to go to the world generator) the first world that is generated usually looks the same (or at least very similar). All 4 main types of worlds (1 island, 2 islands, 1 cave, 2 caves) have that "first world" that looks the same. It looks to me as if the randomizer isn't seeded properly. The second level generated with the same settings always looks unique.

I'm not sure if this happens all the time, or just often enough enough to be recognized. Did anyone else experience this?

I actually discovered this in a gameplay video on youtube that was posted on the forums. It looks like it's the xbox version.

EDIT:

Here is an other one from a different video (PC version this time).

Not every detail is the same, but it's almost the same. The second world generated looks always completely different. So I'm pretty sure this wasn't just coincidences.

i've often thought "i just played this level", which has never happened to me in a worms game before.

edit: lol exactly. i also miss the preset landscapes like the fruit bowl and stuff but that's aside from the point.

yep affraid i have the same sentiment as there guys, it does need to be improved, i love the generator, but it DEFINITELY doesn't randomly generate the terrain no where near enough, it all looks the same, when you compare it to reloaded, every random generated landscape was completely different, like totally different to the previous generated landscape.. not like that with revolutions, almost all of them look the same or are very close to the first generated one..

As far as I can tell, this is only a problem with the first world that is generated. The ones that you generate after that look unique to me.

In the ranked modes you don't get a choice :(

How about just giving us a level editor instead? ;) Moo hoo hoo!

Hey guys, just to let you know that are code team and currently looking into this issue for you.

okay thanks bethamari... its not a major issue just needs some tweaking

i saw this too, on xbox 360, all generated levels looks like the same...

didnt team17 gone many test ? how problems like that can be on the gold version of the game ? :/


and could you add a generator with number and letters ?
we cannot do our customs maps, but this option should be nice too :'(
