email that to team 17

What the fuck is Team 17 even doing now

I thought that new one, W.M.D. Was pretty good, tho I kinda miss the water physics from the previous one.

>>387796867
they should resell worms 2 with newer stuff, it worked for sonic

What is Gunbound?

Ranked matchmaking is a joke in turn based artillery games, though, as hacking is literally impossible to stop.

>>387796867
Damn dude. Unironically a good idea

>>387797045
They recently ported Yooka-Laylee to PC, I believe?

is worms armageddon on steam active?
i just want a 2d worms game that doesn't look too overly realistic like newer titles.

>>387797547
It has a small community of mostly tryhards, so if you want to get a game going, you're better off playing with friends.

Armageddon is the best game in the series. Just bring the servers back, add some quality of life features, and top it off with some more landscapes, and it's golden.

only played worms 2 back when, it was just plain old fun.
i do still have Armageddon and 2 on discs since they both came with eachother but strangely i never tried Arma.

Didn't they do this like a year ago?

If only pic related was still alive. It pretty much fits what you want, other than membership needed to access most of the game. Best Worms successor hands down. Fuck you Fagex for abandoning it.If only pic related was still alive. It pretty much fits what you want, other than membership needed to access most of the game. Best Worms successor hands down.

they just published it, they didn't do shit

suffering from shoppa withdrawal help!!!

hi cak

>>387796867
the problem with Team 17 is that they keep trying to make a comeback but then shit out another worms game with hideous flash-game animations and nerfed physics. Armageddon was great because it was chaotic and worms went flying and sliding around the place, but every iteration has toned it down to make it 'balanced' I guess and it's just nowhere near as fun.

>>387797256
team 17 were always useless outside of worms

on the team 17 forum there was this 'esteemed veteran' named squirminator2k who later made the short lived "game journo pros" blog (and is now ashamed of it because criticizing game journos is literally bigtotry) who used to say Superfrog is a masterpiece, so I spent eons getting an Amiga emulator to work when I was 11 or 12 to play it (the same emulator is still annoying to set up now). turns out it was a horrible game

later I called it a 'generic platformer' in another thread and he had a massive chimpout

>>387796867
Pretty much. I haven't played a Worms game since Reloaded because every iteration is honestly just the same old shit. Hasn't been anything new since World Party, really.

>>387800603
actually wait, they did make another neat game called World Rally Fever with fucking mind-blowing pixel art by Patrick Romano that looked so Japanese I could barely believe it was an American who drew it

Romano is one of the most criminally underappreciated video game artists of all time

3D worms was a mistake

>>387800603
Superfrog was one of those games you kinda had to be there for. In the day, on the actual Amiga it was a fun, cartoony, light-hearted platformer aimed at kids (along with Robocod and Zool). If you wanted something more serious and spoopy you'd play SotB or Turrican or something.

The constant Lucozade product placement basically just screams that the game wouldn't've gotten off the ground without it though, just like Zool with Chupachups.

tl;dr at the time it was pretty OK but now it's meh and aged poorly.

>>387800910
I don't think it's aged poorly since back in 1993 we already had games like Super Mario Bros 3 and Sonic 2 (maybe even CD, not sure exactly when Superfrog came out); I think it was always mediocre.

The Amiga is an odd system since it had fantastic hardware and games like Defenders of the Crown and Agony were fucking gorgeous but the average game had absolutely no artistic taste and boring gameplay. You'd expect it to be one of those obscure systems full of gems like the MSX but most of the stuff people jizz over is kinda boring.

I did like Chaos Engine.

>>387797986
I always preferred the truly ridiculous amount of ways you could easily fuck about with the weapons and options on 2.
Like setting minigun bullet explosions to max and having an instant Armageddon

>>387801387
only very superficially similar, Gunbound's lack of mobility and weapon variety makes it radically different

fun game though

I hope you're not implying 3D Worms ever required mouse accuracy.

Why is it that T17 never even attempt to recapture physics and rules of W2 series? Every time they said they would they just kept fucking it up with stuff that is different.

You literally already made a perfect game. Just cash in on it.

You know what's depressing though? Now that Team 17 have complete hacks doing the art (WOW BEADY EYED FILTERED FLASH LINE TOOL WORMS WITH TEETH COMING OUT OF THEIR NECKS, SUCH APPEALING DESIGN) Patrick Romano is stuck doing art for garbage like Angry Birds

I mean sure he probably made a fuckton of money off that job but what a waste.

>>387802340
The 'veterans' on the T17 forums were all fun hating late teens/20somethings constantly arguing with little kids who are now all SA goons. they were also really bad at the games (the t17 forums were often treated as an injoke by the actual W:A online playerbase)

The guy I mentioned earlier once had a massive emotional argument with a 13 year old where he was freaking out and insulting the little kid because said kid said he likes Halo. Eventually the mods took the 20something sperg's side and the kid was like "wow you guys act like children"

I just watched and shit my pants laughing as it unfolded

>>387802668
bad phrasing; I meant the 20somethings are now SA goons, not the little kids.

it's amazing though because they barely interact with the rest of the forum, they just act as cliquey as ever except they paid 10 bucks to feel even more elite

So in the end what was Team 17's problem with Amiga Power? They couldn't deal with the bad reviews, that's it?

>>387797215
Literally what are you on about, it's insanely easy to stop in turn based games.

Server validation doesn't have to be real time, can be as thorough and take as long as you want it to because it's turn based and latency is of 0 concern.

Never before has someone been so objectively wrong about something.

Educate yourself.
