Helldivers for the PS4, PS3 and the PS Vita, hits all the right notes to make it a solid online, co-op multiplyer. But is it the best co-op ever?
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.
Excellent game, yet another reason to own a PS4
Indeed, really loving this game. It has a lot of depth to it too, at the low level missions it's just a frantic, twin stick shooter without requiring too much thought, then at higher level it becomes an equally frantic, tactical experience where you have to have a gameplan, and drop different strategems at appropriate times in order to ensure success.
Only thing is, I wish you could save loadouts. Like I have a 'snow' loadout (because snow is fucking awful to walk in without jetpacks) but I have to reallocate all the equipment each time. It's a little annoying.
They really have served up a nice cup of liber-tea
Deserves over 9. Great great game.
Is there different difficulties in this game?
