"Worms: Open Warfare" Ships

Posted Mar 22, 2006 at 6:32AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: News, Titles Tags:

For years now, the beloved Worms series has reminded us just how fun it is to be destructive, especially when
trash-talking invertebrates are involved. And now all the 2D, turn-based mayhem is finally available for PSP.

The new game looks like an appetizing blend of old and new. In the face of some tweaks, old favorites like the
sheep, uzi, and "Dragon Ball" Remain. Predictably, the game also has wireless multiplayer support,
an important feature since at least half of the fun of a Worms game usually comes from playing it with friends.
Open Warfare also promises exotic new locations to annihilate, including Hawaii and London.

Worms: Open Warfare goes on sale at a suggested retail of $39.99.

(Note: Several people have written it (and commented) warning that this game requires firmware 2.6.
Consider yourself warned (and thanks to all those who wrote). ).

# FW? — Guest 2006-03-22 07:42

What FW does it need?

# Ummmm... — Guest 2006-03-22 07:45

"...new additions like the "Dragon Ball"..."

Dragon Ball is far from new. It was in Worms: World Party.

# YOU are getting on my nerves!!! -_- — q_dmc12 2006-03-22 07:51

Yay, I'm buying this on friday!!! 8-D

# FW? — Guest 2006-03-22 07:52

What firmware does it need?

# . — Guest 2006-03-22 07:58

will DS players be able to play PSP players? Since this title is for both DS and PSP. That would be sweet. =)

# Firmware — Guest 2006-03-22 08:00

FW 2.6 needed :-(

# Its Cool — Guest 2006-03-22 08:17

Games awesome, was playing it today on our demo PSP.

Still working on how to get it running on my 1.5 though, I anit updating

-PS2MAN

# asdf — Guest 2006-03-22 08:17

how do you know ^^

# i got it — Guest 2006-03-22 08:19

i got it and i dont realy like it... i need more weapons.... like the mule or the super sheep:(

# NDS — Guest 2006-03-22 08:22

I'm totally buying this... except for Nintendo DS.

Touchscreen + Nintendo WiFi (better), anyone?

# Earlier — Guest 2006-03-22 08:25

Dragon ball was in Worms 1.

# dragon ball — Guest 2006-03-22 09:28

Sorry Dragon Ball is not a new move, i believe it was in worms armageddon.

# most cheap for NDS — Guest 2006-03-22 09:37

... I will buy it for NDS! most cheaper for the same game!

# not same — Guest 2006-03-22 09:43

not same game, psp graphics = superior

# I will be buying this... — Guest 2006-03-22 10:13

...for Commodore Amiga 15 years ago

# well — Guest 2006-03-22 10:38

well how exactly is this game? ive never played a worms game.. but i play the free MMO game gunbound which is related.. i only play that instead since it has way more content (stats, clothing,mobile s).. is this worth buying?

# port — Guest 2006-03-22 11:12

it surprises me that nobody has made a ported homebrew version of this game yet

# NDS version inferior — Guest 2006-03-22 11:15

Sorry guys buying it for DS, there is NO Nintendo Wifi play and touchscreen control is limited to menus, picking weapons, and navigating the map. I'm a DS guy myself, but it looks like I'll be going with the PSP version of this one.

# Hmm... — Guest 2006-03-22 11:16

To the poster two posts above. I play Gunbound too. ;D

Also, dragonball was in several of the older Worms games.

I also agree that a hombrew port would be awesome.

Since it needs 2.6 though, I'll be getting it on the NDS if I get it. I don't plan on updating passed 1.5.

# Agreed — Guest 2006-03-22 11:16

Same Here^^^ ive always wondered that?

# !!!!!!!!!! — Guest 2006-03-22 11:18

I DONT WANNA UPDATE :'(

# XD — RommelTJ 2006-03-22 13:46

I hear you q_dmc12! Its so hilarious....but its starting to get REALLY annoying.

To the point that I want to stop coming to pspupdates. I hate Anonymous Coward.

# DRRSG — Guest 2006-03-22 14:33

FACK

# Multiplayer — entropy 2006-03-22 18:36

I understand that worms has at least two different forms of multiplayer features. One form being 'hot seat' where you use 1 PSP and just pass it around. I've also seen mention of WiFi support. But I have yet to see any mention of whether or not that is limited to AdHoc or if it takes advantage of infastructure mode. Worms is all about the multiplayer and it would be ideal if Team17 offered an online system in which people can play against eachother. Does anyone know if such a system is in place for this game?

# are you sure — Guest 2006-03-22 19:45

some games that say they require 2.6 fw is a lie, like daxter works with umd emulator and mphgameloader on a 1.5 psp

did anyone go download the iso to confirm it doesn't work with the mphgameloader?

# 2.6 :( — Guest 2006-03-23 04:03

Uf thats awesome game.

But doesnt work even with MPH...

Hm guess is coming that time to upgrade PSP..

# Correction... — Casey C. 2006-03-23 09:42

I humbly bow to those who (politely) pointed out Dragon ball is not new to the series. Obviously my Worms knowledge is not as extensive as it should be :D.

# lol — Guest 2006-03-24 11:53

roflmao lolololololol (anonymous coward)

# worms on 1.5 — ahnp 2006-03-26 08:42

i have tried to get worms working on a 1.5 psp and it doesnt like most things. Worms requires 2.6 and the only way to get it working is by ripping the flash out of firmware, then you need to run the mph 1.4 firmware launcher. then the flash files also need to be in the mph gameloader. Im not entirely sure on how to get this working but aparently it does work and the ***** wont send me all the nessacary files. I have melested several of the firmwares but i have sucessfully loaded the 2.6 and everything just comes up currupt in the game menu. pre loading it into the ram first may be an option but mine crashed doing that with 2.6, 2.5, 2.01. 2.0 kept asking to update. can anybody tell me where to get decent flash files of a 2.6fw that will run the items necessary

# 2.6 fw flash files — Guest 2006-03-30 04:07

I beleive the 2.6 flash files are encrypted and cannot (yet) be extracted from the eboot

# notitle — Guest 2006-04-03 07:39

You can run it on 1.5... And i'm sure you know where to find how...

# come on — emericaska8r 2006-04-09 10:38

This thing better have super sheep in there! And hopefully bannana bomb too. These two weapons, and the ninja rope are like the essentials in worms.

# wi-fi with psp — emericaska8r 2006-04-09 10:43

im definiatally getting this. because if it needs 2.6 it will have wi-fi support, which means worms over the internet! I alway used to do this with my computer and play against people! THis will be great!

I don't see why people don't upgrade to 2.6 yet with the awesome eloaders coming out. Though, i guess cuz there is no iso loader, which isn't that big of a deal becuase its usually illegal.
