"Helldivers is a dual stick shooter that has you joining up to three other players as they live up to that name, and dive into incredibly challenging combat scenarios set in a dangerous planet inhabited by creatures much akin to the bugs from the Starship Troopers franchise." - Eduardo Reboucas, Playstation LifeStyle
If you can draw yourself away from Helldivers 2, you can pick up the first game for less than $20 right now, but you’ll need to be quick.
In the update players will receive Proving Grounds and an improve loadout system.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Competing with other players online is ingrained into the gaming ecosystem these days, with every hardware manufacturer (even the previously resistant Nintendo) offering ways to connect to others over the internet to engage in multiplayer. Ever since SEGA blazed a trail with their gone-too-soon Dreamcast and titles such as Chu Chu Rocket and Phantasy Star Online, the console landscape changed towards embracing the internet – solidified further by Microsoft’s Xbox initiative in 2001.
On handhelds, inroads into online gaming were slower, but with the advent of Sony’s PSP in 2005 that changed again and suddenly portable experiences were offered that could also connect with other players across the world. This was refined further with their next-generation handheld the PlayStation Vita, which offered improvements like easily accessible friends lists, system-based party chat, alongside some of the best portable online games that were available at the time of its release."

Killzone Mercenary has spectacular gameplay and great mp. Underrated game.
Helldivers was pretty awesome to have on Vita.
NFS MW worked well on Vita.
Killzone Mercenary is not only a phenomenal KZ, it has the best integrated system shared between the campaign and the online community. I wish more shooters were this incredible.
fun game, I can't wait til it's out.
Lookin good!
Another great looking game. Love this genre of shooters.
FINALLYYYY!!! i was giving up hope that I would see Helldivers in E3.
CANT FRAGGIN WAIT to play this with my friends, on the couch. AWESOMENESS awaits.
I had no Idea that the makers of Magika were the ones making this game. So now I know what Sony meant in the conference when they said that they have partnered up with them, and that all of their studios were at work on multiple exclusives. One of them is Helldivers, and the other is Magika. more to come I presume then.
Now if only they would announce a release date, I will be very happy. Soon though (: please.
I love the scifi genre. Thanks!
