What's up with that discrepancy?

Thankfully.
It's hard to say. It's like like a mix of old school Ghost Recon + Destiny + Diablo.As someone who never played the first: what's the loop like? Like are you getting loot, leveling up, things like that, or is the completion of the mission the sole goal?

You gain points to unlock new aesthetics and load out options (which range from attack drones, medic drones, vehicles, mechs, guns, etc).
You start out by choosing planet to run a series of missions on. Each mission have you choose your team's drop zone, and each mission has mini missions which are represented as a point on the map. A mini missions can be blow up this hive nest, secure the briefcase (which forces the carrier to be slower and can only rely on a pistol and his/her teammates), get to a base and activate something via up, down, left, right type commands.
I mean genshin is a AAA co op game and that's free.
Different games though. This isn't a huge open-world live-service RPG.I mean genshin is a AAA co op game and that's free.
Have they talked about business model at all?
If they're going in a similar direction to the first Helldivers, it'll be game released followed by expansions. They kept away from the modern slimey games service trash.I mean genshin is a AAA co op game and that's free.
Have they talked about business model at all?
I might be wrong on this but I think they prefer to keep the posts quite separate in general. They'll surely eventually have a whole article focusing on the PC version.
They only have a release window.
Have to incentivize 'friendly fire' somehow lolOnly 4 seconds of gameplay. 😩 At least I'm now leaning more towards what I thought before that the game doesn't have crosshairs but uses colored lasers for each player instead.
Is it known if split screen will be a thing?
Three player co-op is how my brother, in-law, and I played Helldivers for 200+ hours. I really want to play this with them, but am holding my breath expecting it to be one player per console.
:: Rewatches the 4 second clip ::Ugh I'm praying for at least 2 player split screen like you can with EDF. Playing locally with a friend and then together online with other friends is what really made the games shine for me.
Still hard to conclude.

Helldivers 2 drops on PlayStation 5 later this year
Get ready to spread peace and liberty with extreme prejudice.blog.playstation.com
While obviously the headline of that is "Helldivers 2 drops on PlayStation 5 later this year", they still mentioned PC at the bottom of the article in the exact same way they didn't now for this article. It's even the same person in both articles! Could be an honest mistake, could also be quietly announcing it's delayed.

So yeah I am worried about a PC delay. If this doesn't come out day 1 on PC then that's a ton of hype completely gone from me.
This game might be their audition. If they do indeed wish to be acquired.Arrowhead is still independent right? How? I'm surprised Sony hasn't folded them in as they seem to have a great relationship.
Theyve made a Threads post about it at the same time, so I think somewhere the marketing team chose to push the trailer until theyve sorted the API use.Would've made sense to publish this with the co-op and combat blog post that went up four hours ago, but that's SIE.
Theyve presented it a bit weirdly but i think the reason why they highlight features like that is because of their friendly fire always on approach. It makes these mecahnics somewhat more tactical and potentially funny/frustrating than your average co op shooter.Looks cool but I don't know about making "a turret" one of the highlights of the promo.
Would this game be alright with randoms? Dunno how many friends I'll be able to convince going in on this one
I have given up trying to figure how Sony does things, lol. They are becoming more and more unpredictable.Would've made sense to publish this with the co-op and combat blog post that went up four hours ago, but that's SIE.
Oh yeah that's a good point. That should have been highlighted better, I guess.Theyve presented it a bit weirdly but i think the reason why they highlight features like that is because of their friendly fire always on approach.

Good to know thanks, will monitor the OT at launch before deciding 🤔The harder parts of the original were brutal without good teamwork.
I hated the turrets in the original but seeing it up close in action has me wanting to try it out so I think it worked.Looks cool but I don't know about making "a turret" one of the highlights of the promo.

You call it brutal, I call it excitement.The harder parts of the original were brutal without good teamwork.
