No matter if local or online, a co-op mode makes any game so much better.Įven if it just provides someone to blame for utter defeats and complete failures. With the advent of the PlayStation 3, plus a wider adoption of broadband Internet connections, the co-op experience took a massive step forward allowing players from all over to engage in jolly cooperation. It was only over time that the concept of cooperative multiplayer started taking shape, rising to incredible heights in the previous console generation. Bring on the brain bugs.For a very long time, playing games with friends meant that you were playing against them. My bleeding character is crawling backwards up the ramp to safety onboard the shuttle. More enemies spawn and the last few seconds until the shuttle arrives are glorious mayhem. This triggers a timer and a response from the remaining enemies, who naturally gravitate towards the landing zone. Mobs wander the surface, and once your objectives are completed all that's left to do is to call the shuttle. Basically anything you've seen in movies like Aliens and Starship Troopers or any number of scenarios found in other movies, games or books that deal with heroics. Missions vary from installations that need to be blown up, targets that need to be taken out, and inviduals that need to be saved and returned to the shuttle.

Helldivers makes use of the Bitsquid multi-platform engine that you may have seen in Arrowhead's most recent game, The Showdown Effect, and medieval war simulator War of the Roses from Fatshark working with the engine will be surely be a great help as the game is planned for three PlayStation platforms in 2014. It's basically just because we want that suspense." Because they need to prepare it in space. And then you use the ability and then you have a duration of maybe 5 up to 15 seconds before you actually get what you ordered. "Like you have the suspense of inputting the combination that's sort of shaking the die. "It's like a die roll in a board game," explains Pilestedt. Once executed your orbital strike, turret or similar hardware drops to the surface. Each strategem in this demo consisted of a combination of four directions on the d-pad. ![]() ![]() Much like with Magicka there is skill to pulling off the strategems in pressure situations (and there are plenty of those situations to go around). ![]()
