Meanwhile, all the hype right now is around ODST in Helldivers
Seems catering to your ACTUAL audience makes you money...This trailer came off like they were trying the 'haha we're IN on the inside jokes!' which rarely ever works.
I'm not going to lie -- the weapons and music in that ODST trailer makes me want to actually spend money on that DLC. I think the last time a game got me that excited was the G1 Transformers DLC in the Fall of Cybertron game.
Still not going to touch it. Anyone who supports the triple a industry by buying games from it, is part of the problem.
Helldivers isn't a triple A game to be honest. They're a niche studio that had a breakaway hit they weren't prepared for. Helldivers 2 launched under the assumption that they'd top out at 50,000 players and ended up with several million.
Yeah Arrowhead themselves aren't big players, and they tend to make way better games then most AAA hyper-marketed slop.
Buuuut they partnered with Sony for this, and that does pretty much link them to the AAA scene for this one.
They KNOW how to appeal to their audience lol. It's the simple gestures like this that honours other game communities that REALLY brings in the gamers than overly flashy skins.
