So you're telling me the reason there was 5 bile titans at our extract was probably a dev DM laughing his ass off as we strruggled? Lmfao

[The_MightyJingles]

It's quite impressive that he managed to talk so extensively about his inspiration without once mentioning Starship Troopers.

[SpookyFairy]

The other guy loading the shells in co-op is so cool

[AchtungBabyZA]

As a gamer in my 30s whose lost all interest in the multiplayer games of the last 5-7 years, I am so excited for this game. It just looks like so much fun.

3:05 mans feet were still standing after he blew up, poor guy. His feet don't know he dead. A true super earther

[shrillcrayfish]

Lol. Someone goes afk to take care of the family for a min. New mission pops up. Defend the VIP lol

[Sync.]

This can really be one of the greatest co-op games of all time

I know it’s a PR video, but he sounds genuinely excited about what they made. It’s looking great so far hopefully it has enough content to go the distance!

At 2:08 - You dont have to run faster than the bugs and aliens. You just have to be faster than your fellow super citizen.

[S.U.I.T]

I find it hilarious that every 20 seconds is someone mercing their buddy.

[axellsabode]

Fact that they can interact with your game live is crazy. Going beyond other Devs to be truly involved with the evolution of the game. Hoping these interactions can be found after missions if you get them.

[MastrBard]

please dont flop, PLEASE dont flop...

[Alenthas]

4:49 bro watched his team mate walk in front of him but didn't stop shooting the dead bug for a second to let him through. a true helldiver hero

[Ivotas]

Man it's always a treat to listen to developers talk who are clearly passionate about the art of their craft. Especially in todays industry where the big publishers only care about pleasing shareholders.

[chrishamilton]

11:51 Oh Dear Lord there’s backblast XD

[drefranks]

If this game is decently successful can y’all imagine… 12 man planetary raids… that would go crazy

[legoshi]

I really hope the game blows up a lot like Risk Of Rain 2.
Both risk of rain and helldivers are two games i never expected to get sequals, both have changed drastically but fundementally they are the same!

[zahn_]

Imagine setting up FOBs on maps that stay even if it’s liberated, itll be cool to a really interactive war

[ARudePanda]

How does Sagar Beroshi talk so fluently and so perfectly and with such passion, truely admirable!

[blastkillskank]

This game is genius and innovative on every level. I feel lucky to be here for this thing to be honest. They deserve every penny with the amount of passion and involvement the devs have with this game.
