Worms 3D

Adagio · September 19, 2003, 13:02

Has anyone tried the demo of Worms 3D yet

It's avaliable here

This is only a 8 minute demo (When time runs out, the game ends)

But it still gives you a great insight in the game...

It's a hotseat MP demo (Two teams)

General Ludd · September 19, 2003, 13:06

meh. Does it have explodable terrain and a random map generator?

Adagio · September 19, 2003, 13:16

This demo only contains one map, but the terrain can explode

muxec · September 19, 2003, 16:00

Cool screenshots. Downloading... Searching for no-demo crack... Failed to find.

Adagio · September 19, 2003, 17:14

I have tried to edit around with the files my-self, but without any luck

But if you find something, please tell

muxec · September 19, 2003, 17:58

Hmmm... Fails to run

Maybe due to WinXP

Adagio · September 19, 2003, 18:04

I'm using WinXp also, and it runs fine here... what's the problem?

muxec · September 19, 2003, 18:07

I do not know what the problem, but this thread looks like nice place for militarizm-pbem propaganda.

J/K, i really want to play the demo.

Adagio · September 19, 2003, 18:15

Does the demo give you some error message or something?

Adagio · September 19, 2003, 18:51

Here's a nice picture on how much I could destroy (in the time limit):

The map is pretty large, this is only a small part of the island...

vovan · September 19, 2003, 19:16

Doesn't run on my XP either. Core dumps right away

Adagio · September 20, 2003, 05:47

Strange, the only problem I have had (yet) is starting a map without any worms at all

Here's another destruction picture:

The air-strike is pretty hard to control in this game

Maquiladora · September 20, 2003, 07:28

what is the obsession with 3D

Adagio · September 20, 2003, 07:44

I wasn't happy about this 3D thing myself, but I must admit, it's much better done than I expected...

Traianvs · September 20, 2003, 08:19

it adds a whole new dimension to the game...

worms was a great game, but another 2D worms would be quite boring, frankly..

it has nicer graphics now, you can aim rockets yourself now, and you can use the terrain for tactical purposes now... well better anyway than in the old worms games i think..

General Ludd · September 20, 2003, 08:25

Hey, cool. That site uses bit torrent. Took me by surprise there.

Adagio · September 26, 2003, 15:27

I just found another demo (On www.gamespy.com). It's exactly the same map, but all the graphics are changed, the worms have different names, and there's two more weapons: Dynamite and Holy Handgranate... and there's also a new item: Jet Pack

Traianvs · September 26, 2003, 15:33

it doesn't look the same actually...

Adagio · September 26, 2003, 15:37

No, but the map is actually exactly the same... I guess what they're trying to prove with those two demo'es is, the same map can give a very different feeling if you're playing the map with another graphics set

Oh, and another thing I forgot to mention about this new demo: You're able to use your mouse when aiming (Makes it a lot easier)

Adagio · September 26, 2003, 15:41

I might be mistaking, but I guess my last shot is from the direct opposite direction as from the second shot (The second plane flies in the direction to where the third plane starts)

DrSpike · September 27, 2003, 07:23

Hmm, it looks pretty, but will they be able to transport the playability to a very new setting?

Adagio · September 27, 2003, 09:23

Well... the game is much more diffecult that other Worms games... at least in the beginning... I have yet to throw a granade that actually makes some damage to the enemy

But there's a bug that has appeired several times (4-5 times during the last week)

When this happens, I can do nothing... I can't even select "pass turn"

This happens when I land in a very bad spot... though I don't know how to avoid it...

Still nobody else who have played any of the demo'es?

General Ludd · September 27, 2003, 09:39

I played the demo for about 5 seconds before deleting it. 3D doesn't suite the game.

FrustratedPoet · September 27, 2003, 11:09

Yeah, I've been able to judge whether a game is any good after 5 seconds before too. Thank goodness I didn't bring any pre-formed opinions or prejudices to the table or I might have only played it for 3 seconds and wouldn't have really got into the guts of the game.

That was exactly what I thought before I tried the game...

General Ludd · September 27, 2003, 13:42

Playing worms and firing the weapons from a first person perspective just doesn't feel right. Doesn't really matter though, I haven't been a fan of worms since the old days anyways.

Adagio · September 30, 2003, 12:21

Not like anybody cares anyway, but I just found a mod which inludes 32 minutes game time, 80 sec turn time, and different weapons (Like NinjaRope, Girders, Old woman, etc)

Granny bomb! Woo!

No matter the quality of the game, though, it's still sacreligious to be in 3D. Also, where's that mod at?
