This is nuts. So basically everything that's fun in Helldivers 2 already existed, they just cranked graphics, mechanic, plot and fine details to 11, then translated it into 3rd/1st person mode. If I was them, I wouldn't have expected the success either. Good on them though, because those extra details are exactly what is missing from gaming for a long while.
If this was any other gaming studio they would have cut back 50% of the features. I was blown away when I play HD2 and found everything in HD is in the game, and better.
15yo me knew can confirm y'all prolly would have put wayyy too much time into this hehehe don't worry tho divers, i surely did enough hours back then to cover up for all 4 of you *o7*
I was thinking about it, man. But I don’t want Helldivers 2. I just want infinite DLCs for Helldivers. It’s a perfect game. Just make it fresher every 6 months.
As an old player of the first game, it’s a special feeling seeing all the new Helldivers from the sequel discover how different yet similar the first game was and understanding what made both games so special and dear to everyone’s hearts. It all still feels like a fever dream to me, going from a humble cult classic to one of the biggest hits of 2024. What a time to be a Helldiver.
Just played it today... jumped into a a running game... and I did not do well. Said: "Im sorry, didnt play this for a while" Answer: "You did well, lets go!" Next Mission I stompt someone with my mech. often. He or she said: "Great job covering our back with the mech. You are doing a great job, sorry for running in your way, thx for revive" Me: "Sorry for stomping you" Anwser: "You are big enough to be seen and harder to control. Go" I dont know these people and will never meet them again. Thats a community I wish for every game.
The difference between helldivers 1 and 2 is astronomical. Literally heaven and earth. Even though these are practically 2 different games its cool to see the similarities.
I disagree - On seeing the helldivers 2 trailers i was very underwhelmed, as it didn't really look like it was capturing the same essence of gameplay the first did. BOY, was I wrong.
@@IdontevenwanachannelI felt the same way. The initial trailers of HD2 had me cautiously optimistic. I wasn't feeling any similarities between the two but after playing it on release holy shit was I wrong. HD2 is a sequel in every sense of the word. It's actually baffling how well they translated HD1 into third person gameplay.
@@Idontevenwanachannel I've gone back to playing the first one on my Vita and PS4 (on PS5) with cross save. Playing the second game (which I think is great) really made me understand where I was going wrong with the first one and made the original so much more compelling as a result.
I will start by saying that I never played helldivers 1 but only the 2, I find incredible how almost all of the mechanics that make helldivers 2 fun were present in the first one but I think we need to acknowledge that the team did an INCREDIBLE job in translating them from top-down view to 1/3 person. Well done to the team.
yep everyone raving about HD2 even though it's basically been out for 9 years. also nobody seems to have played EDF either which is arguably a better coop shooter
I loved how Helldivers 1 forced people to stick together due to the shared screen. Many people hated it tho. Also, you could upgrade your strategems and weapons with samples. All combat being close quarters due to the perspective also made the breaker really good, especially after the AP upgrade.
I heard nothing about this game until Helldivers 2 came out and all I have to say is WOW. Going from a top down game in helldivers 1 to what helldivers 2 delivers is nothing short of phenomenal, The devs should be extremely proud of themselves. You can tell how much work they would of had to put in just comparing the 2 games. Can’t wait to see how they create helldivers 2 and the content that will be added over the years, this is the only game that makes me feel like a little kid again.
Completely agreed. A smaller studio at that too! And it's so well optimized and polished since Day 1 (besides the whole server full issue), very rare in games nowadays.
Now it makes sense why the second game is so good. It's all already there! The statagems, the friendly fire, the orbitining ships, the drops, the attention to detail (I appreciate EVERY SINGLE PUFF OF SMOKE!). The second game is just that, but more, oh boy, way more :D
One of the few games that still has a great community even 7 years later. I've been playing this game off and on since it first released way back in early 2015, on playstation. Grinded up all sorts of stuff there then moved to PC when it hit Steam in December of that year. I think what amazes me is how the community has never "died". Dwindled, sure. But the people who are left are people just like me: they just want to help new people discover the game and all the chaos it has, and encourage them to have fun. 90% of the time I fire it up I look for games with new people and just sit back and let them do all the work, occasionally I step in when crap really hits the fan. It's just so cool to me that even after all this time, there's still tons of people who play it who just want to let people experience what this game is truly like. You'd think after all this time, only toxic bittervets would be left. But I have found that they are in a vast minority. In fact they are shunned by the community at large. Truly a very wholesome community.
"Great community" - Well I don't know! Whenever I drop by the Helldivers Steam forum, there are mainly toxic or strange people. Like you, as a veteran, I used to help mostly newbies. But the cool and funny people I got to know through this way have not been active for years. And with the newbies these days, there is no language interaction at all. And they don't have a sense of humor anyway.
@@joestendel1111 It is possible that something has changed. I am a retired veteran and have not been active for at least half a year. Or it is because you are in a different region than I am.
@@iiimadmaniii as a composer's standpoint, both are great but you notice that 2 has more budget. saying that one is miles better than the other one is just meh, dont do that c:
The difference between perspectives of 3rd person vs top down isometric made all the difference. If helldivers 2 came out with this level of graphics it would still eclipse the first game's success. This game already has all the right recipe, it just needed a proper plating presentation.
Got to respect the grind, hustle, vision and the originality. From HellDivers 1 to HellDivers 2, you can see the dna of this game never changed. Good to see devs stick to their guns and avoid following trends.
After seeing the success of the second game I kept wondering how the first one flew under my (and most people’s) radar and after seeing the gameplay and the shift they made in 2 I understand why it blew up. The concept is solid (somehow can’t believe how MS & 343 let something like this slip under their radar) and making it a 3rd person multiplayer action game feels like a fool proof plan (w/ good marketing and a handful of luck ofc)
The sad thing is that bungie and other members requested many spin off games but they never got the traction. It's sad because halo has the story and opportunity to achieve it all.
it's cause there's probably like dozens if not hundreds of indie games coming out every day, a lot of them are very good, but it's just a matter or pure chance whether we'll get to hear about them or not.
Only thing helldivers 2 feels like it's missing is the audio of guns almost being out of ammo (both laser and lead weapons) - maybe even the red tracer bullets to signify that the gun's almost empty too.
definitely, hell drivers 2 has a lot of missing audio ques the player needs to hear, most of them don't matter in 1 because you can see everything from top down
Yeah, the music in 2 is great but there isn't a whole lot of variety, you just get used to hearing the same tunes pretty quickly. Hopefully they bring back some of the music from 1 as well as adding more new stuff.
Bloody hell, it's so different, all the mechanics and everything are there, but it's a top view instead of third person, man how hard it must have been to translate all this and more to 3rd person with a 1st person view.
Me and my Brother enjoyed Helldivers 1 a lot. The only reason we left was that back then, theres a really shitty bug that could kicked you out of missions and make you lose all your progress and was extremely frustrating, but it was an absolute blast. Now Helldivers 2 is just one of the most amazing experiences gaming has ever produced. Absolutely insane
The Helldivers community is amazing. I picked up the pump shotgun, grenade launcher and barbed wire airdrop again after years of not playing. It's still a blast.
@@robjsmiles the best part is running away from the bugs saying "reload reload reload reload reload reload"😅 I love using the pump but I have off nights where half my rounds miss.
Just came back to this absolute Gem after a good bout of Running with Rifles. So glad to still play with an active community even after soo many years!
I think the dude in charge of balancing (Alexus?) needs to watch this video, specifically the parts with the mech, so he can see how incompetent he is at balancing. While I love Helldivers 2, this original was a bit of a power fantasy, and it had that in spades.
yeah I would love mechs, they released a teaser yesterday with an update. The mechs are ready to go but they will work on polish and server increase first. which I fully understand and is also more pressing
I got my old man to play HD1 and he’s not into video games at all. He got friggen destroyed and died a bunch. Every time I drop into HD2 I take those memories of knowing my Dad fought in the first war and died……..like a lot.
Recalling how convenient it was for someone else to carry the backpack since we were all stuck in proximity like this and the AT being loaded was important.
I'd never even heard of this series before Helldivers 2. I picked up the sequel on a whim and I'm having a phenomenal time dispensing democracy, so I came back to see what the original game looked like, and I sorely regret letting this game slip under my radar.
And thus upon seeing the raw power of the exosuit in their own planet, Cyberstan residents started development on their own heavily armored walking tank with a flamethrower. It was only 100 years after their fall did another bearer of their flag make use of the blueprints.
As a new fan who's playing helldivers 2. I definitely recommend getting this. I spent all morning playing this, even though it's much more challenging than the 2nd game, it's still really addicting and fun
I wish I had known of this game back in the day. I loooove twin stick shooters so much. I picked this up and it's so much fun. The music is even better in Helldivers 1 imo. This stage music is amazing.
Idk I feel like that's selling the first Helldivers short I used to play it a lot. Whilst blops arcade only rlly shares the power ups and theme with normal zombies. Helldivers 1 has like every mechanic and actually more (weapons, 3rd faction, stratagems + vehicles) when compared with 2 just from a different camera angle and worse graphics. It's so good because you can just look at Helldivers 1 to see what the upcoming updates will be for 2.
Wow. What a glow up this game had with the sequel. Also it's very clear theres a massive difference between the 2, so the balancing and everything will have to take a different route too.
I've been on this game off and on since 2017 and have been on a kick with it for the past year. Jesus the community is lovely and fun. I so hope that Helldivers 2 is true. We need more democracy.
Wish they'd add the UAV stratagem so that I can see where all samples are lol - might stop other people from feeling like they need to farm missions by closing the game and restarting over and over again in the current game
Looking at this game after helldivers 2 makes me think that the original was just a proof of concept and the second 2 a revision and refinement, lately i can hardly see that from AAA studios. Looking for ways to not improve just to make it accessible to everyone and ironicaly i think thats one of the motos of Arrowhead studio. "Making a game for everyone is making a game for no one" (something like that). Looking forward to the game awards this year and see what kind of conversations can happen after other studios understand that they should focus on making a good product and not just expect blind loyalty from everyone.
This game looks insanely easy compared to Helldivers 2. The Breaker takes out a huge cone of enemies in one shot, the mech can seriously tank shots, the cannon on the mech is super strong. Very different than helldivers 2.
Honestly I wish Gauntlet and Magicka still had the community this game has, they were my jam. Not that I don't love Helldivers, I was just really bad at it.
Crazy what a shift in perspective does, I’ve never been a top down boy aside from Dead Ops Arcade but this looks like a free roam Metal Slug and that just sounds cool.
That was a beautiful dance of a match, I hope I had picked up this game when I saw it back in 2016 or something, and I'm really happy that helldivers 2 is getting all the attention it's getting. The dev team really did an amazing job.
omg this game is fun, i am playing HD2 but i would not mind playing HD1 with my wife, she is not a gamer and a game like this would get her in to gaming easly that a side THE MUSIC is soo on point in this game and the fact that it feels like you are playing with your buddies on a table is soo good, the way the camra forces every one to stay together would feel limiting if not done right but it is done soo perfectly you almost feel like its a camra man trying to keep every one in Frame, they really cared for the game, no wonder HD2 turned out to be a Gem It had a solid foundation to build on
Well seems all the weapons arent shit, no nerfs incoming. Time to switch to Helldivers 1 while the Devs insist on riding Helldivers 2 into the shitter.
underated game for sure. Been playing ever since 2017 and still ongoing. not a lot of content creators feature this incredible game so im a bit sad abt that. Nonetheless, if anyone wants adrenaline gushing in their veins every now and then, this is the game for u. not saying this is the only best but one of the top
Helldivers walked so Helldivers 2 could run. I salute the service of all the veterans of the First Galactic War who preserved Super Earth so that we could spread Managed Democracy now.
i was in this war. i first enlisted in 2016, when I was a 6 year old. i LOVED this game unlike any other. it was just so fun to cause chaos and burn away bugs with my only friend that I had at the time. And now the Terminids, the Automotons, have decided to fuck around with us again. It was like a dream come true to hear arrowhead even MENTION the term "Helldivers 2", and I went crazy when I heard the game was getting a sequel. And it made me the most happy that I have been in months that the game was getting so much attention. it was like a fallen gem finally climbing off the ground. i don't care that all of these Political problems or balancing issues are here, the game is everything I could have imagined. I am loyal to super earth, and forever will be, regardless of what the public thinks of it 😇😇

As a new fan who's playing helldivers 2.
I definitely recommend getting this. I spent all morning playing this, even though it's much more challenging than the 2nd game, it's still really addicting and fun
I would've loved this game if I heard of it back in the day.
I wish I had known of this game back in the day. I loooove twin stick shooters so much. I picked this up and it's so much fun. The music is even better in Helldivers 1 imo. This stage music is amazing.
Since I've only played 2, seeing this is like "Helldivers 2: Mobile" Still looks fun though, might check it out.
Wow, from Helldivers to Helldivers 2 was such a drastic change. Im really glad they've done such a great job!
I’m calling this group of randoms effectively “THE WRECKING CREW”
as a veteran that played this with my dad, i like this game
Watching this video after only having experienced 2, its like a zombies fan playing black ops arcade. Lol
Ayo that analogy worked perfectly for my brain nice
Idk I feel like that's selling the first Helldivers short I used to play it a lot. Whilst blops arcade only rlly shares the power ups and theme with normal zombies. Helldivers 1 has like every mechanic and actually more (weapons, 3rd faction, stratagems + vehicles) when compared with 2 just from a different camera angle and worse graphics.
It's so good because you can just look at Helldivers 1 to see what the upcoming updates will be for 2.
@harryweisner99x fair enough, I was speaking more so visually. Definitely curious to try 1 though, hope they throw it on a sale
what surprises me is 2022 was 2 years ago 😭😭
I’m glad they finally get the success they deserved! Helldivers 1 was such a fun game to play on my vita and ps4 back in the days 👴🏼
HD2 is game of the year material
This game is nothing short of a masterpiece
Wow. What a glow up this game had with the sequel. Also it's very clear theres a massive difference between the 2, so the balancing and everything will have to take a different route too.
I've been on this game off and on since 2017 and have been on a kick with it for the past year. Jesus the community is lovely and fun. I so hope that Helldivers 2 is true. We need more democracy.
Guess what
And it's so damn good@@SnorpMan
@@KarlosSonigo it is me and a squad had a blast trying to survive difficulty 5 against automatons shit went down
This is like watching a history documentary
helldivers 2 BGMs are cool but I would like to have some from the 1st game too
Looking at this, it makes a little more sense why HellDivers had capes.
Thi is the best twin stick shooter I have ever played. I love this game, and think it would still stand up well today.
Wish they'd add the UAV stratagem so that I can see where all samples are lol - might stop other people from feeling like they need to farm missions by closing the game and restarting over and over again in the current game
i cant believe i never played this game
Helldivers 2 is the epitome of a sequel. Not some rehashed crap year after year (mhmm CoD) but a complete new way to experience the original.
helldivers' music goes harder than helldivers 2's music
Looking at this game after helldivers 2 makes me think that the original was just a proof of concept and the second 2 a revision and refinement, lately i can hardly see that from AAA studios. Looking for ways to not improve just to make it accessible to everyone and ironicaly i think thats one of the motos of Arrowhead studio. "Making a game for everyone is making a game for no one" (something like that).
Looking forward to the game awards this year and see what kind of conversations can happen after other studios understand that they should focus on making a good product and not just expect blind loyalty from everyone.
This game looks insanely easy compared to Helldivers 2. The Breaker takes out a huge cone of enemies in one shot, the mech can seriously tank shots, the cannon on the mech is super strong. Very different than helldivers 2.
Honestly I wish Gauntlet and Magicka still had the community this game has, they were my jam. Not that I don't love Helldivers, I was just really bad at it.
Magicka 3 when
Crazy what a shift in perspective does, I’ve never been a top down boy aside from Dead Ops Arcade but this looks like a free roam Metal Slug and that just sounds cool.
randomly thought about this game today and I'm glad to see it's still alive and well
I like how loud the breaker is and how much it resembles the sound of a real gunshot. I wish the guns in HD2 were louder.
I wish I knew this game existed
That was a beautiful dance of a match, I hope I had picked up this game when I saw it back in 2016 or something, and I'm really happy that helldivers 2 is getting all the attention it's getting. The dev team really did an amazing job.
even here breaker is the meta lol
omg this game is fun, i am playing HD2 but i would not mind playing HD1 with my wife, she is not a gamer and a game like this would get her in to gaming easly
that a side THE MUSIC is soo on point in this game and the fact that it feels like you are playing with your buddies on a table is soo good, the way the camra forces every one to stay together would feel limiting if not done right but it is done soo perfectly you almost feel like its a camra man trying to keep every one in Frame, they really cared for the game, no wonder HD2 turned out to be a Gem It had a solid foundation to build on
Looking at this top down og helldivers gameplay makes me think the developers should've known the masses would love a 3rd person shooter ngl
I used to play when I was 5 with my dad and grandpa, it was my favorite game and now I finally found it
Thank you for your service
Damn!!! Helldivers 2 is such a huge upgrade, thts how u make a sequel
Imagine helldivers 3 we play as the Orbital ships controlling platoons of Helldivers! Bro...
4:22 That bot in the bottom left corner was not ready.
A Twin Stick Tactical Challenging shooter with Mitary elements and scifi mixed into one package.
Game is Always here for me.
Holyshit, Helldivers 1 ‘s music sounds amazing
Well seems all the weapons arent shit, no nerfs incoming. Time to switch to Helldivers 1 while the Devs insist on riding Helldivers 2 into the shitter.
underated game for sure. Been playing ever since 2017 and still ongoing. not a lot of content creators feature this incredible game so im a bit sad abt that. Nonetheless, if anyone wants adrenaline gushing in their veins every now and then, this is the game for u. not saying this is the only best but one of the top
And the soundtrack slapped as hard back in the day.
IS this one the Steam Sale right now....asking for a friend...
I think it is right now but it might be over
Salute to Helldivers 1. Because without it, we wouldn't have gotten Helldivers 2.
we need that mech suit in helldivers 2 lol
Helldivers walked so Helldivers 2 could run. I salute the service of all the veterans of the First Galactic War who preserved Super Earth so that we could spread Managed Democracy now.
guns sound better in this than helldivers 2
i was in this war. i first enlisted in 2016, when I was a 6 year old. i LOVED this game unlike any other. it was just so fun to cause chaos and burn away bugs with my only friend that I had at the time. And now the Terminids, the Automotons, have decided to fuck around with us again. It was like a dream come true to hear arrowhead even MENTION the term "Helldivers 2", and I went crazy when I heard the game was getting a sequel. And it made me the most happy that I have been in months that the game was getting so much attention. it was like a fallen gem finally climbing off the ground. i don't care that all of these Political problems or balancing issues are here, the game is everything I could have imagined. I am loyal to super earth, and forever will be, regardless of what the public thinks of it 😇😇
top down is 100x better than 3rd person. change my mind
it feels like the weapon 100 years ago are more powerful
