There's always the chance it could be the thought to be cancelled Studio Liverpool futuristic stealth / action game. It was said to be quite far into production as it was planned as a launch title for PS4 before the studio closed.

Concept art:

 

[KAL2006]

Some of the concept art seems Fantasy based especially of the character with the shield and spear. Could this be Guerilla Games new IP. It also can be Santa Monica new IP as they were rumoured for a Sci Fi game.

"Holy Diver, you've been down too long in the midnight sea, oh what's becoming of me?"

First thing that popped in my mind. Needs some Dio/Killswitch love whatever it is.

Have to say that hell rider concept art is exceedingly attractive. Exceedingly. Hope that's indicative of what we're looking at. Brass tacks, I'm not saying it in any sexy way or anything... I mean whaaat?... but you know, I "would".

 

[Pennywise]

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.

Sweet Billy was one of the best moments in GAFs history.

@Appollowexx
The question would be, who would take over that project.

 

[Dead Man]

It ain't going to be this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss_SB2C_Helldiver

Mores the pity.

That concept art is amazing, so it can't be that, either.

If those art are professional art for sony, is he reall allowed to post them on website? Especially if its for unannounced project and he just said the name helldivers.

I imagine it's really just personal work. Not related with sony helldiver game.

Agreed. More's the pity.

Pretty much. They are awesome though.

 

[Data West]

shit that concept art looks like what Western Monster Hunter should look like

 

[Kaako]

Pull off heists and drive like hell to get a way, hence, "helldrivers."

 

[Dusky]

Is that the sequel?

 

[Kaako]

Is that the sequel?

Prequel!

 

[KOHIPEET]

The name "Helldivers" just sounds too badass, I hope this won't be some card-game type of shit and instead a truly fucking amazing sci-fi fantasy AAA IP.

 

[Violater]

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

Looks like a cross between dark souls and gears of war, meh

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

Give me this instead.

[BurnOutBrighter]

It's like Olympic diving, but gone full grimdark.

 

[KOHIPEET]

It's like Olympic diving, but gone full grimdark.

Busted! This is going to be a dark-metal themed sports game with PSEye support!

 

[Taiser]

Helldivers = lots and lots of underground lava levels.


1/10

would not look forward to...

 

[Dead Prince]

Endless falling game please. Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

 

[Rawshocker]

I hope game about this

Not fucking planes or archangel Michael

 

[Acquiescence]

I hope game about this

Not fucking planes or archangel Michael

I'd buy it.

 

[Fried Food]

I hope it's something new and creative.

I hope it's not a vita game.

This is all I ask.

 

[winjet81]

I hope it's something new and creative.

I hope it's not a vita game.

This is all I ask.

Uh, this is SCEA we're talking about... so it absolutely won't be a Vita game.

 

[GopherD]

God I love GAF sometimes...I wish the game sector could employ all of you.

Every. Damned. One.

 

[Mario007]

Uh, this is SCEA we're talking about... so it absolutely won't be a Vita game.

Or it'll be shit like Destiny of Spirits.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

That concept art looks awesome!

 

[Kun Aguero]

Detective GAF never fails. BTW that artwork looks fantastic, colour me more than interested.

 

[Dusky]

Kotaku actually ran an article on this guy about a year ago: http://kotaku.com/5883268/commander-shepard-youre-looking-awfully-dangerous-today/


I still doubt though that it he has anything to do with it, probably just personal artwork like someone mentioned earlier.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Gonna be real awkward if Helldivers is a multiplayer FPS in which players can summon giant mechs to dive (or 'fall', you could say) into the fight.

 

[Kun Aguero]

The concept artist is based in Cambridge, the plot thickens.

[LastNac]

Dude is watching porn.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Some of you are already setting yourself up for disappointment when this hasn't even been shown.

Whatever it is, if that art is anything to go by then it could be very compelling.

 

[RedNumberFive]

These concept arts look like a set of Todd McFarlane action figures.

 

[Trevelyan]

These concept arts look like a set of Todd McFarlane action figures.

Which is why it's the greatest thing ever.

 

[Globox_82]

I dunno but that concept arts scream GG to me. Look at guns...
I just hope it isn't FPS because GG sucks at that.

 

[Usobuko]

Edit: Nvm, too quick for a response.

 

[TheRealTalker]

More possibly unrelated Helldiver concept art.

Man these concepts are nice they remind be of a Destiny/BlackLight/Harly Davidson feel
too bad there not related to the Sony I.P

 

[kaching]

Alvarez, you had me at "Upgrade your wings by ripping them off". Thanks for that.

 

[Globox_82]

where is verendus to make sense of all of this

 

[ShinItachi]

Guys what are these characters from?

http://sttheo.deviantart.com/art/winchester-170504944

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

designs look amazing,why isn't this a thing yet

cmon give me this sony!

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Or it'll be shit like Destiny of Spirits.

How did that all pan out? I was away during that whole time.

 

[Nozem]

New Guerilla game?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

The concept artist is based in Cambridge, the plot thickens.

http://sttheo.cghub.com/

Guerrilla Cambridge are also based in Cambridge! Which means he's probably working on KIllzone!

"Killzone: Helldivers® follows twelve months after the events of Shadow Fall, where a mysterious and powerful alien race known as the Divers launch an attack on planet Vekta declaring the Helghast an affront to the nature of the galaxy, which forces the Vektans and Helghast into an uneasy alliance as they work together to repel the largest and most hostile assault force ever seen in the history of mankind."

 

[Triggerhappytel]

How did that all pan out? I was away during that whole time.

I don't know the exact ins and outs, but I believe it's a Japan-only F2P game. I think it might be an RPG, but I'm not sure - nor do I really care. Ugh, F2P.

 

[HigherLevel]

If those characters were in some kind of open world third-person RPG/shooter it would be amazing.

 

[SeriousApes]

ODST was the first thing that came to my mind.

Same here.

I'd like a game about deep sea exploration though.

 

[creyas]

I'd like a game about deep sea exploration though.

They could slap Uncharted on that

 

[leatherhat]

I hope its a non- cover based tps

 

[TimeEffect]

I hope game about this

Not fucking planes or archangel Michael

This is what I want.

Forget the overdone war games and noise.

Give us an eerie game where a team of divers gets lost and discovers a cave. Give us the Descent. Give us horror, isolation, despair, and loneliness. Give us an enemy that we never see, a creature in the distance of the darkness, a feeling that someone or something is watching us.

Let us discover a cave of a Fallen Atlantis, where carvings on walls depict a lost history of creatures that rose out of the sea and terrorized human beings.

But then I cant play
