Worms: Reloaded

[Chazlene]

I've mentioned this in the shoutbox and on Mumble, so I thought I should make a proper thread.

So yeah Worms: Reloaded is coming out this summer, hopefully before i40. Team17 thank god have returned to making them 2D, since Worms 3D and Mayhem really did suck. Information from Wikipedia:

Worms: Reloaded

Worms: Reloaded is an artillery game/turn based strategy game developed by Team17 and is part of the Worms series. It is scheduled for release on Windows via Steam, during Summer 2010. Team17 have stated that a Mac OS X version will be developed after Steam is released on Mac. The developers have stated that the game will be retailed at a 'very attractive price'.
The game is largely based upon the console version Worms 2: Armageddon released on Xbox Live Arcade in 2009, but is said to be an 'extended edition of the console versions of late.'
Team17 have currently released few details or media content concerning the title and a press release is not available. A European and Worldwide Beta had been released to a select group of the public, however both were under an NDA.
On June 26, 2010, the official Team17 Twitter revealed that the beta testing phase had ended.

Gameplay

Gameplay is turn-based and returns to its original 2D aspect for the first time on PC since Worms World Party in 2001. There will be both Single player and Multiplayer modes available with up to four players online.

Just for the hell of it, here's the epic version of the theme tune from World Party:

Should only be a few quid, so you guys all up for getting it to play at i40?

[Isphera]

I'll deffo be buying this, but deffo won't be at i40, so kind of answers the question right there

[Calneon]

Will buy this for sure. Hopefully they kept all the roper stuff the same because that was the most fun .

[Marshy]

Yeh im 100% getting this, should be a laugh at i40 :P

Oric, perhaps you can make a table !

[Vicious Horizon]

OORAH.

Can't wait for this, hopefully it'll work on Windows 7 this time <3

Looks awesome, nice to see they're going back to the old 2d games rather than continue with the slightly rubbish 3d ones.

[Chalex4]

Yeah I expect I'll grab this before i40 if it's out, especially if it's cheap. It's been an aggeeee since I last played Worms.

[Chazlene]

It's now available to preorder, and the release date is 26th August, luckily just in time for i40:

Yeah, I'll call you tight.

Looking through the feature list, it looks like it has everything you could want, singleplayer with RPG elements, multiplayer with leaderboards/achievements. The only reason people could say it isn't worth it is because it's 2D, which is hardly a good reason as we all know the 2D games were better than the 3D ones. If the game was in 3D, people wouldn't be moaning at the price, they would be moaning at the gameplay. Now it's in 2D, people will praise the gameplay and moan about the price. I don't think the price is too high, I'll most likely get at least £18 worth of enjoyment out of this game, they probably would have done better financially if they sold it a bit cheaper, but for me it's going to be a pre-order .

I'm going to get it, but £18? It better be good. Worried i might play it for an hour and get bored even though i have been looking forward to it..

i feel the same as this tbh :/

[Colonel Mitch]

Worms was never really my thing tbh, played it with atk for about 2 hours and thats my life total.

Will probably torrent it for i40.

[oniwaban]

Yeah i'll definitely torrent this game same as what i did to PVZ, btw this 2d game is awesome i hope they can make this game in online.
