"Comedy is tough to do in games. You can probably count the number of games that have made you laugh on one three-fingered hand. But games have one advantage over films and books when it comes to making people laugh: the ability to generate funny situations through interactivity. Unscripted hilarity."
As Arrowhead Game Studios turns 15, join us in celebrating its past and learn how its first game Magicka influenced Helldivers 2.
I played Magicka, but I never realized it was the same dev as Helldivers. Makes plenty of sense considering how much friendly fire is in Magicka lol
"The founders of Arrowhead Game Studios (the team behind one of the world's biggest international game successes with the game "Magicka") is now investing in the Swedish Gaming company Mind Detonator whose business concept is to capture talent at a very early stage and build the next generation of gaming developers far from the big cities." - Arrowhead Game Studios
Arrowhead Studios, the developers of Helldivers and the Magicka series are working on a new third-person online co-op game.
This looks like a lot of fun. I like the old-school design, and the developer's emphasis on making the game have some funny moments in it seems interesting. This is the kind of game that you play with a buddy, only to lash out at that person for making a big mistake, then laughing when you make one. Hopefully it gets ported to consoles when it launches.
thx for the prview
I have to say, Paradox is slowly winning me over.
Looking interesting. Don't think I've ever played a comedy game, but BioWare games normally have good character humour mixed in. HK-47 is one of my favourite characters in any game, period.
