-GD-X★ 7,873 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 That is crazy. But peeps love multiplayer games, so I can’t say I’m surprised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, that's true.. but it's still surprising in the fact that this is a co-op MP game and not a PvP MP game. That kinda makes it extremely unique. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FIREPOWER 796 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) It’s a massive hit. Sonys first GAAS game is a huge hit for them. I can’t say I’m too surprised, people love good GAAS games and Helldivers 2 is probably the best we’ve had in recent memory. I’m very happy for ArrowHead, they deserve it. Sony is probably gonna end up buying them. Edited May 14 by FIREPOWER Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,873 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I just hope Sony won’t ditch story driven games for this stuff. There’s already a drought. ND is stuck in remake/remaster limbo and I fear Insomniac will only be making superhero games moving forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Sony did the opposite of dumping single player games, and that's why Factions got cancelled. Hopefully ND get back on track now that they don't have Factions or GAAS distracting them. I'm hoping Sony has learned that they can't turn a studio that primarily makes SP games into a GAAS studio. If they want successful GAAS or multiplayer games their best bet is partnering with a studio that primarily does that just like what they did with ArrowHead.

madmaltese★ 2,672 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Absolutely unreal. This may be one of the biggest surprise hits ever. Very deserved though! What a game 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David P 78 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 This is why first party should focus on expanding their IPs, not just constantly rehash the same franchises, you never know the surprise hit you'll create. And it isn't necessarily risky business, not when the games have AA production values, cheaper to make than a new Uncharted and comes with no gamers expectations.
