The very latest IGN preview showing the most in game footage I've seen yet. It looks intense, and over all sounds a lot like the first game. - Launching with 2 enemy factions - Vehicles and mechs 'Coming Soon' after launch - Procedurally generated levels (So far seen jungle/swamp, deserts, lava worlds, rocky/mountainous with and without snow, missions happening at day and night) - Stratagems similar to the first game: Bombing and strafing runs, turrets, anti armour rifles and launchers, support drones, shield bubbles. - Friendlies will drop collected samples and carried weapons on death - The team shares 20 revives (speculating that this can be altered by mission difficulty and stratagems) - The UI shows damage to body parts can impact player performance. Maybe this will make secondary weapons more useful? I don't think I ever actually used a pistol on purpose in HD1.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGd0m1qjOJ4

I guess they built in "game master" functionality where staff members can look at individual games being played and throw in buffs (i.e. strategems) or debuffs. Also the staff might be mucking with the overall metagame/war. They talk more about the metagame/war also and how the aliens will react to player gains on the war map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh_EGMxw9EY I have mixed feelings about this? Sounds neat. I imagine that while they talk about this being a live service thing, long term this let's them spice up gameplay while finishing development on whatever they want their AI to do.

TheMostFrench posted:- The team shares 20 revives (speculating that this can be altered by mission difficulty and stratagems) One of my favorite memories was playing on a difficult planet with friends. We were being literally overrun from every direction and we survived by the skin of our teeth just throwing out respawn beacons until one person could get on the ship. I found the old video, but the PS4 didn't record voice comms  . Me and my friend were hype af https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ihf8nb5G94 punching in the dpad strategem codes as fast as you can has never been more exciting lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F36q5eJuaGI More gameplay footage and discussion of mechanics. Stuff like changing weather - deep fog impacts visibility at ground level, there is rain but no evidence that it effects mobility or weapon functionality (e.g setting targets on fire), not sure if snow comes and goes mid mission. Planets go through day/night cycles. According to the video, the galactic campaign allegedly will never end? It might be ongoing for the entire life of HD2, whereas in HD1 you could fight all the way to an enemy homeworld and capture it to defeat that enemy, then would have to fight other factions. This may be a good thing; some people would stop playing HD1 because they didn't enjoy fighting specific factions, and would just wait for other people to defeat the remaining factions to start the war again.

I'm kind of surprised they kept DDRing in powers over a radial menu or something.

It's def gonna be sweatier than EDF, I think, major focus on tactics, communication, and difficulty (if the first game was anything to go by. Helldvers was renowned from day 1 for being excruciatingly hard)

I’m coming around on the over the shoulder the camera. Not a fan of the team life limit, especially if upping difficulty reduces that number further. Having unlimited lives in Helldivers 1 made it easy to laugh off teamkilling and I feel like it was a crucial part of the secret sauce that made the gameplay so fun. Maybe playtesting found you don’t die as much in this game and the cap is pretty roomy, but I’m worried it’s going to make the game really sweaty and a lot of people aren’t going to be chill with accidental friendly fire.

Looks very good! So from that video we can see that stuff like weather will have an effect on weapon performance  Not totally sure but it looked like at the end of the mission they only had 1 research point extracted, even though they picked up more than that along the way. Seems like you really have to make an effort to survive the entire time if you want those resources. TheMostFrench fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Feb 3, 2024 |

From what I understand you still have unlimited lives, it’s just after the first 20 uses you need to wait for a minute cooldown before using it again.

There hasn't been any sign of colorable armor/capes yet has there? I was really hoping we'd get that sort of customization with the increased level of graphical detail.

Was really trying not to buy any more games this month because of FF7, but my friends told me about this and it looks pretty rad. I've recently finished playing Aliens Fireteam Elite, so another multiplayer shooter sounds good. Is this going to have leveling and weapon customization with different scopes and stocks?

Open Marriage Night posted:Was really trying not to buy any more games this month because of FF7, but my friends told me about this and it looks pretty rad. I've recently finished playing Aliens Fireteam Elite, so another multiplayer shooter sounds good. Leveling sort of by unlocking new Strategems (call down abilities) and guns. I’m blanking on whether things were locked behind exp gates or not in the first game. Weapons customizations almost certainly no.

The first game did have exp unlocks. A big  at letting you buy unlocks with real money.

As someone who's going to only be playing with this friends, I don't really care if some super whale wants to buy a gun that does extra damage somewhere else in the world faster than just grabbing SC via missions.

Well, I was going to hold off to see what the reviews are, and also get a digital copy, but Currys in the UK has a fiver off if you use the code DIVER15 at checkout, and I had some cashback type stuff, so I've just placed a pre-order for the grand total of £20. I'll definitely get £20 worth of fun from this just by dropping pods on my teammates.
