In Helldivers, players [/I]

Expect SSM, looks like they found a new writer and franchise after GOW.

 

[Alphahawk]

I so want the name to be literal. A game about mercenaries diving into sinkholes that lead into the gates of hell - kicking ass as they get ever closer to the center of hell - and fighting Satan himself.

This. Sadly it's most likely some modern military bullshit.

 

[KOHIPEET]

"When Earth stops, the journey begins, then we dive into hell."

Oh my imagination.

Bonus:

Tonight! We dive into hell!

Heckdivers

^ European version

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

In Helldivers, players will ultimately assume the role of the Archangel Michael, who has been tasked with entering Hell and defeating the Fallen Angel, Lucifer. When Michael dives into this fiery underworld's depths, however, he soon learns that not everything is as it seems.

Helldivers explores the life and childhood of an angel named Lucifer, his descent, and the resulting all-encompassing war between Heaven and Hell. Featuring the greatest aerial combat ever seen in a video game, players will manage armies by the thousands while also participating in intense first-person combat--on the ground, in the air, and even under leagues of molten flame.

The armies of Heaven and Hell grow desperate in the face of the single most important battle that will ever be waged...

- Upgrade your wings by ripping them off and replacing them with enchanted obsidian; fly faster, and with a razor's edge. Sacrifice your demon minions' sight to craft scrying orbs that will sneak into enemy territory and give you the advantage.

- Dismantle Earth to reinforce the Heavenly Plateau. Enslave humanity and use them as shields.

- Suck the life out of nearby stars to power Hell's dreadnoughts. Collect the halos of slain angels, melt them down in the fiery pit of Albumen, and craft them into artifacts of terrible power.

- Play alone, with a friend, or with thousands online. Assume the role of Michael, Lucifer, or of 8 other Archangels and Fallen Angels.

Summer 2014. It's gonna be a hot one. Take a dive... into

My only problem with this,the game needs to focus on a single protagonist.

 

[sono]

I want the Mariana Trench DLC

 

[TechnicPuppet]

My only problem with this,the game needs to focus on a single protagonist.

Castiel?

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

My only problem with this,the game needs to focus on a single protagonist.

Haven't you heard? Multiple protagonists are IN.

 

[Sid]

Castiel?

I don' know the story,it could be a made up protagonist for all I care but it needs to have a story focus.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Guys what are these characters from?

ps: I'm sure this has nothing to do with the game but these came up when looking up the name helldiver online. Some pretty cool concept art

 

[Tailzo]

This is the gritty reboot of Aquanaut's holiday.

I loved that game. Imported the asian version.

oh I didn't see that comment. Thanks for that

but yea pretty awesome designs. I like this one personally

http://sttheo.deviantart.com/art/hawk-189765098

We need some cool and somewhat unique designs like these in games...most games feel too similar now

 

[Danneee]

I'd be all over a WW2 arcade flight sim with light fantasy/steam punk influences with shit awesome graphics!

Probably a TPS that does nothing new though.

 

[Beerman462]

What about Holy Diver...

ODST was the first thing that came to my mind.

 

[Guymelef]

I don't see a MM game with "Hell" in the name.

Nobody expected Insomniac to make Resistance either.

 

[Jinfash]

Steam punk GOW reboot by SSM.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Steam punk GOW reboot by SSM.

I wish "steampunk" would vanish from the face of the earth.

If I see one more fucking top hat with welding goggles on them i'm going to choke a bitch.

 

[Doomshroom]

Maybe they are releasing their own metal album and Holydiver was already taken?

 

[Mifune]

Could be Guerilla's or MM's new IP.

According to the article, those games' domains would traditionally be registered by SCEE.

 

[Acquiescence]

Diving? Into Hell?

...

Sounds like Kratos is getting up to his usual tricks again.

Spoiler

please for the love of God, do not be another GoW game

Oh snap. Someone quickly post every concept he has referring Hell rider lol.

Okay, I get it. No more wishful thinking. I just found it strange, but I guess we'll find out in a few days.

Eww, I reallt hope it doesn't look like that.

There's a reason games don't look like that. It looks like Warhammer.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Oh snap. Someone quickly post every concept he has referring Hell rider lol.

There's a lot actually..some really cool designs too. When I came across it I couldn't think of a movie/game/comic that it was referencing so that's why I asked the question here to see if anyone knew

 

[Aytrial]

I don't see a MM game with "Hell" in the name.

It's just the new gritty ultra-realistic direction MM's decided to take to penetrate into the mass-market!

[Triggerhappytel]

God of War: Helldivers? (Gah, I hope not!)

Not a bad name; makes me think of ODSTs from Halo or the dropship deployment from Aliens. Also sounds a bit like 'Titanfall'; weren't there rumours a while back that SSM's (Stig's) next game was an action game on another planet? It could be a game they'll be showing at Gamescom. I hope so.

 

[KOHIPEET]

This one's easily my favourite. Whatever this turns out to be, credits to this guy because his work is just plain awesome.

this 3 are my favorites, just the right amount of fantasy and gritty sci-fi
the one you link felt a bit too generic space marine imo

ITT: We get excited about everything this game isn't, by looking at random concept art and reading fan fiction.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Damn. That sounds amazing. Someone make this game.

This game basically exists. It is called Requium Avenging Angel. It came out in the 90s

If this turns out to be legit it's is going to be the most amazing thing detective GAF has ever done ever.

 

[Bishop89]

Dont have confidence in the name. Particularly the divers bit. But I guess it could b something cool like the character/story has to deal with "diving" in hell or something.

im very intrigued, though worried it'll b an indie game, or a vita exclusive

 

[Endo Punk]

Anything less than the second coming and I'm not interested lol. Stig really did knock it out of the park with GOWIII and if anything he raised the level for gameplay, bosses and set pieces in the franchise that not even Ascension could match. His next game, whatever it may be, has me more excited than what ND are cooking. Its been in development for close to 3 years and it will be 4 by the time it comes out in 2014, at least I hope it's a 2014 release because Sony needs something killer for next year.

 

[Pennywise]

If detective gaf is right, this looks like another shooter :/
I'll hope this turns out to be a hybrid between FPS and RPG.

 

[nib95]

More possibly unrelated Helldiver concept art.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Some of these guns have like six grips and twelve triggers.

Nothing will top finding the 6ish year old Adam Orth neogaf post under the name someone on Reddit said he likes to be called for me.

These concept arts are amazing!
