Graeme Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Worms 3D discussion has cropped up in a few other threads in the past, so instead of hijacking those once again, I'll start it's own. First off, some movies... http://www.xblgamers.com/movies/worms3d/index.html And 2nd, it's looks like online support for any of the consoles is a no go http://www.worms3d.com/about.html?area=plat Real shame because I was looking forward to this as a Live title. I'll probably pick it up for PC now though. The game is coming out for all 3 consoles, as well as PC and MAC, so anyone reading this should be able to give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 No live support is just.... damn near heart breaking. This was a big title that could have got me into buying the Live kit without question this winter. I'll be going for the PC version too.

iainl Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Well, if Dan's going online with the PC version I guess I'll be buying that too. Worms was always meant to be played with Mouse and Keyboard, anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Indeed. I really should upgrade my memory a little and what have you. I'm still on 256MB and a 10GB hard disc. Plus, you know, I really need to get broadband. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Wow, that's a real shame. I was really looking forward to Worms on XBL. I think voice chat would have been perfect for a turn-based game. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Not to steer this thread into a wrong direction, but it always puzzles me when developers don't add LIVE play to a title that begs to be played online. Worms 3D is a prime candidate. Extremely disappointing. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I'm also surprised that this game will not be Live-enabled. I've played several incarnations of the Worms series, and it begs for online play. However, since I currently do not have an Xbox, and therefor do not have the Live service, this is of little consequence to me. I do feel for all of you, really. One word: Gimme!

Graeme Posted September 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 The official PC demo is now available from Team 17 and various other download places. It's 2 player MP only with a smallish selection of weapons. An unofficial demo was leaked a little while ago, but it doesn't feature everything this one does. I'm not sure what I think of it yet. It looks nice, and it certainly plays like worms, but the 3D view and environments make it kind of difficult to setup your shots, and throwing grenades across the maps seems like it would be near impossible. Blimp view is set to E, not R as stated on the controls screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Well, hopefully it turns out for you guys, but remember that some franchises were not meant to be taken to 3D. Actually, a lot weren't . I mean, look at Lemmings. That game was nothing less than brilliant in its early incarnations, but got progressively pointless. The switch to 3D did not help.
