Definitely starting to sound like vehicles and mechs are gone from the game. I think that's a fairly poor design decision if so? I've seen a lot of folks already complaining about this.
I don't know, I think that sense of being ultra powerful in those vehicles and working together to maintain them was a big part of helldivers. They add to the danger of friendly fire too. They should be in and it's surprising that in a line where they're discussing the range of tools you can use, it only extends between airstrikes and turrets.
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.
Thankfully.
It's hard to say. It's like like a mix of old school Ghost Recon + Destiny + Diablo.
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.
Have they talked about business model at all?
Different games though. This isn't a huge open-world live-service RPG.
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.
Still hard to conclude.
Helldivers 2 drops on PlayStation 5 later this year
Get ready to spread peace and liberty with extreme prejudice.

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.
Only 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.
They only have a release window.
It'll release between July 7th 2023 and December 31st 2023.
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.
:: Rewatches the 4 second clip ::
Yeah, I don't foresee split screen, guys.

I think that's because the top one is the announcement trailer so they need to make folks aware that the game will be launching on both platforms, but beyond that I expect most of the marketing to be separate.
That's not to say that I don't think the PC version will be delayed. I think delays are always a reasonably likely and if one of them is then it's much more probable that it would be the PC version due to the additional issues that come from getting things running on all the different architecture. But I don't think Sony's blog posts / trailers missing mention of it is a reliable indicator.
RelaxItsJustMe this trailer ends with coming to PC and PS5 2023 still. God bless.
Looks fun! Can't wait to check it out. Helldivers 1 was a blast with friends.

Add in a shoddily controlled biplane, weird arbitrary lava pools of death, and a creeping sense of dread, and you got Body Harvest 2!
Arrowhead is still independent right? How? I'm surprised Sony hasn't folded them in as they seem to have a great relationship.
This game might be their audition. If they do indeed wish to be acquired.
Would this game be alright with randoms? Dunno how many friends I'll be able to convince going in on this one
Looks pretty fun, I can see potential there although its not for me.
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.
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.
The harder parts of the original were brutal without good teamwork.
I have given up trying to figure how Sony does things, lol. They are becoming more and more unpredictable.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Oh yeah that's a good point. That should have been highlighted better, I guess.
I know some are holding onto hope for local co-op/splitscreen but looking at this gameplay.... really doubtful that'll be the case.
I didn't play the first Helldivers but did that one have jetpacks as well or is that new?

Good to know thanks, will monitor the OT at launch before deciding 🤔
This looks just awesome, I can't wait!
Yes. Early on you might get people who don't know how to play but you will find good people. I played a lot of solo and mostly with randos with the first game. Actually, now is a great time to play the original cause you only find the diehard who are dedicated to it and not trying to troll. I booted it up with the first announcement and had a full team join me almost nonstop. I can't remember a single troll.
The original also had a SOS startegem that you could throw out to prioritize your game as an option to join.
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.

The friendly fire means you have a lot less room to fuck around, even in the beginning sections.
