 Worms wiggles onto Sony PSP
 Worms wiggles onto Sony PSP
THQ have today announced that they have agreed with Team17 Software Ltd. to publish Worms on Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. Worms has got to be the epitome of comedy gaming. Whether you ended up in a watery grave or splatted by a cluster missile, you have got to love it. This is what the developers, Team17, had to say:
"Both the PSP and DS editions will feature classic Worms gameplay - as vociferously requested by our fans. Both versions have been in development for some time, news on release dates will follow much later in the year.The PSP will utilise 3d background imagery and zooming, full width 16:9 proportions. It looks cute as sin.Both platforms feature ad-hoc wireless play and of course, hot-seat play as well as single player games that suit the play patterns of the devices. I.e. short bursts.The DS will feature touch-screen use; planned to be finger rather than stylus control to make it better for hot-seat situations. The touch screen will be used for map scrolling, weapon controls and stats.The gamecode is all new for both editions and not a port of earlier 2d games.A 3d version of Worms is not currently planned for these devices, for both technical and play-factor reasons bearing in mind their screen resolution and suitability to the original 2d game mechanics."
Personally I am glad that we won't be getting Worms 3D on PSP. Those games could never compete with the original 2D graphics. It's a shame that this is yet another game that won't support Infrastructure internet multiplayer. We'll keep you up to date with screenshots and release date info on Worms PSP as it arrives. http://www.PSPHome.com/index.php?do=viewarticle&id=223 |
