And how did you get the airstrikes to hit where you wanted to? I can't decide the direction they're coming from, and the cursor is horribly imprecise.

Should I remind you that this was something like a beta?

There's a leaked German demo also, and that has a more recent code in it. That code allows Mouse-Look in the First Person View. So, yeah, that English demo is old code.

I'm waiting for the official demo, anyway.

Oh, and on the ninja-ropes. I'd rather have them out than having half-assed attempts on implementing them. Let them rest in peace...err, 2D.

I loved that rope like he was my only son...it'll be a shame to see him go.

I'm sure that Worms 3D will have other means of transport, like jetpacks. Although I have to agree that the rope was damned fun... all that swingin' around and trying to aim for just that right pixel.

Looks like I'm in a minority, I liked Lemmings 3D.

Not as good as the games that came before it, but still not a bad game on its own. The camera and level designs still managed to be somewhat nice, if I recall.

Okay, fellas.

Here is the official demo.

Damn, beat me to it! And yes, it has jetpacks. Don't know if they're in the demo, but one of the developers said jetpacks are in.

Well, at least you're not alone. I enjoyed Lemmings 3D too.

As for Worms; it's one of those games that last forever. I often played against my brother and sister on our network. Hours of fun! The ways my brother always killed his own worms when trying to hit mine were freaking hilarious.

Beta or not, there will be no ninja ropes

Well, I just got the official demo. I'll give Team 17 the benefit of the doubt for now, but I don't mind saying that this better be (as they say) indeed a work in progress, because the full game is going to have be a hell of a lot better. The controls are convoluted enough so as to make the game almost unplayable. You have to use both WASD and arrow keys, while adjusting the camera with the mouse?? On top of that, it's almost impossible to get a good solid view of what's going on. It feels like playing Warcraft III zoomed in all the way, if anyone knows what I'm talking about that, but with really annoying controls.

Phil25 · 09-19-2003, 05:14 PM

Ah Worms...made me barely pass in buisness class because I kept playing the demo with my classmates on the LAN instead of, ya know, doing work.

What, no ropes? Are you sure? Where did you learn about this?

Wow... why that difference...

Wooo!
I'm downloading...

Kolzig · 09-20-2003, 01:17 AM

I can't even get this demo started, strange errors just come out of nowhere after the sega and team17 logos

bigjko · 09-20-2003, 01:38 AM

Meh, it still doesn't work on my computer. And now the official forums are down so no complaining about buggy demo. Oh, and those who've got a Pre-Athlon XP Processor are screwed. With the demo, that is.

bigjko · 09-20-2003, 11:01 AM

Hmmm, apparently Ninja Ropes ARE in. You can even enable them in the demo, through some hex-editing or whatnot.

remixor · 09-20-2003, 11:40 AM

That's interesting, considering Team 17 has stated in the past that they would not be using ninja ropes. I wonder if it will be enabled in the final version.

Phil25 · 09-20-2003, 03:22 PM

The big question is how does it handle?

What a pain. This must cut out a large proportion of prospective demo players, surely? I'm not particularly bitter, and I realise there's a fix coming, but it does seem like a fairly huge bug to slip through to an "official" demo.

Also, why has this thread had so many viewers?!
