No Worms HD… Yet!
I’m a big Worms fan, ever since the original Worms game back in 1995! (is it really 12 years ago!!!)
It’s combination of humour and strategy always appealed to me and many many more fans, so much so that Worms: Armageddon is still getting new features and patches Officially and that game is 9 years old!
Team17 announced awhile back that there would be a Worms title headed for the Xbox Live Arcade and although it was never given a title it was often called Worms HD. Because the game was officially shown at CES’07, minus the HD in the title, people wrongly assumed it was coming out that week but we do know that the game has been in Microsoft’s hands for a few weeks now for certification.
The game has a lot in common with the Nintendo DS and PSP versions of Worms: Open Warfare with a reduced set of weapons and a design to make it more pick-up-and-play than previous titles. It will support voice chat as well as the usual single and multiplayer modes, with multiplayer having both offline and online play via Xbox Live.
Other than that not much is known about it, here are a few piccies courtesy of XBOX-Attitude.
As you can see, it looks REALLY nice, it keeps the style of previous 2D Worms games but improves on them.
Microsoft, PLEASE, PLEASE, get it out of certification and onto the Live Arcade sharpish!
People need their Worms fix, I know I do…
Current rumour suggests a February release with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night shortly afterwards! Yummy!
