Same cars, same houses, same clothes . Looks like the real comunism, but in that case they have a money and the soilders collect them to by new equipment.
Intro and tutorial was the best I've played in years. Didn't feel like a chore and all I could think about was being a kid and watching starship troopers.... now I wanna watch it.
Agreed! Also, the hellpod launch loading screen never gets old for me. That triumphant music playing while your hellpods are burning through the atmosphere which sounds incredible with a subwoofer. Gives me chills everytime!

Sadly the former is the "normal" method as it's easier to make people feel special than helpful.
Guy in civilian clothes - what a goofy looking guy Guy now with buzz cut in helldiver armor - dang he looks pretty cool Puts helmet on - I’d follow this guy into hell itself
The greatest and funniest part of this game is the community it builds. Because the game is designed in a way that everyone is always working together and not against each other in the name of a funny parody of global nationalism, every player is always supportive of each other to the end. That's exactly why Sony's attempt to exclude some players fell so flat and even a massive corporation like Sony was forced to retract their decision. When you build a community like that, you create the ultimate force against such decisions. Sony created the perfect weapon to fight against their own plans.
As a fan of the first game, I absolutely loved how they went all-in on the starship troopers vibe in this one. I was cracking up. Fun fact: if you use a machine gun and fire an entire mag in one go, your character will shout “FOR LIBERTYYYYYY”
And pressing the stim button while out leads to some panicked, guttural cries for more stimpacks, lmao. This game picked a theme, and rode it hard, I absolutely love it.
A lot of the lines in this game had a great amount of consideration to pick on. So to prove that you are worth your citizenship, you have to fight for it in a hellish war that never ends. But it also means if you can overcome the hell you're forced to be in, would ironically give you the greatest sense of freedom. It's propaganda yet it's empowering despite sounding so cheesy at times and making you fight for your life just to be a citizen.
Pure Democracy, Liberty, Supreme and more. No cringy stuff, mediocre animation and narration, etc. Oh, and don't forget the most important ones, that is "pew pew haha bugs go kaboom" instead of bragging the fact that you have two moms.
The first grenade I throw every mission is the beacon for precision Orbital Bombardment. Waiting for that sweet Orbital Laser. I WILL have a Hammer of Dawn on my ship, Hammer of Dawn.

at 0:52, when he snaps his fingers is exactly when I opened my wallet and bought this game. Greatest transition in a videogame trailer in the history of Super Earth.
Everything from the hammy dialogue to the love letters of the best sci Fi movies dripped in every scene to the satire war propaganda recruitment video is absolutely genius. The Devs would be fools not to go all in. Hell, they could probably do a movie or two and invite the fans as faceless extras getting killed.. FOR LIBERTY!!
When I first saw the intro it took me a good bit to realize the guy was cg amazing how high quality the game is and its not the usual nearly $100 asking price. More games need to be like this.
Unreal 5's new cinematic tools are next level. I saw a video where they did a demonstration. Had an actress come out and do some lines with a cell phone recording her. Live on stage they transferred her footage into in game CG in like 3 minutes and it looked great.
*snaps* " Prove to yourself that you have the strength and courage to be free " idgaf, that transition goes hard mfker. Now 30 hours in, hhh boi did i miss this feeling of getting sucked into a game. Let's enjoy it fellas, for Liberty!
Not NEARLY enough people are acknowledging how well animated and how funny the facial expression at 0:29 is, I fucking love the happy to exaggerated shock/horror expressions!
Literally could not agree more… his facial expression animation probably was the first thing I noticed that made me laugh out loud and it’s one of the reasons I never skip this intro… ministry of truth mandates aside
It's not even just how funny the facial animation is, but how spot on and realistic it is. Pretty much every other attempt at realistic CG facial animations always look uncanny and weird, like their is this odd disjoint between the words they are saying and the way their mouths move. Like they are some kind of puppet. But in this trailer, the faces move so naturally and feel alive, I don't get that uncanny valley feeling. Could almost believe it was live action to be honest.
@@pjwander8998totally agree. Very first time I watched it I was like 'Are these graphics or people?" It's crazy, soon we won't be able to tell a difference between the two.
It is. You don't get slaughtered by bugs serving. You just give your life to liberty! The ultimate privilege! (THIS THREAD IS NOW BEING MONITORED FOR NON-DEMOCRATIC ACTIVITY.)
Love how this ad is set on Mars. They possibly took majority of their action shots in a controlled environment with less risk for the acting Helldivers to make themselves look cool. Hell, the Bile Titan isn't even moving.
The animators for this game did an incredible job. Your running changes based on terrain, even gradient. The reload animations, throwing animations, even the transition from aiming to sprinting etc are incredible
Granted ST:E is only in Early Access while HD2 is in full release. Lets look at it upon release, infacht HD2's success might help improve and steer ST:E : ) I like games from indie devs.

at 0:52, when he snaps his fingers is exactly when I opened my wallet and bought this game. Greatest transition in a videogame trailer in the history of Super Earth.
The propaganda worked
@@bionicleapple1254Propaganda?? TREASON
Does anyone else watch the intro every single time? Lmaoo
Everything from the hammy dialogue to the love letters of the best sci Fi movies dripped in every scene to the satire war propaganda recruitment video is absolutely genius. The Devs would be fools not to go all in. Hell, they could probably do a movie or two and invite the fans as faceless extras getting killed.. FOR LIBERTY!!
Why is no one talking about how real the animation looks 😭
When I first saw the intro it took me a good bit to realize the guy was cg amazing how high quality the game is and its not the usual nearly $100 asking price. More games need to be like this.
Unreal 5's new cinematic tools are next level. I saw a video where they did a demonstration. Had an actress come out and do some lines with a cell phone recording her. Live on stage they transferred her footage into in game CG in like 3 minutes and it looked great.
@@antpile3567 Its not unreal 5 Tho.
Because to acknowledge is to break the immersion... And we're so sick of reality right now.
Idk why but the mouth movement looks weird to me
This intro already made me love the game
Это гениально
I am just saying the US military did this for the ads I would sign up in a heartbeat
This goes harder than any recruitment commercial in the states lol
Fucking right. If they did something like this. Recruitment would be through the roof going into space 📈🌌
Its all now I have 2 moms and a they/ them half oppressed I should join the military
a commercial like this could persuade you to join the army?
im addicted to this game, FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY!
raaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
*Managed democracy
"managed" = more freedom :>
SPILL OIL!
the intro is so good dude. really gets me excited to squash the bugs
*snaps* " Prove to yourself that you have the strength and courage to be free " idgaf, that transition goes hard mfker.
Now 30 hours in, hhh boi did i miss this feeling of getting sucked into a game. Let's enjoy it fellas, for Liberty!
Dude, for real! That snap hit so hard 😤😤😤
FOR DEMOCRACY!!!
For those who found the satire of Starship Troopers too subtle.
I genuinely didn't think it was possible. And even then you still have people taking it at face value...
Yet half the comments are "I would totally sign up for this irl" satire is dead
"they team up to crush disgusting bugs in cool uniforms. just like the natsiies."
easy with the ant isem itism 😡
@@FixedFace boi _what_
@@mraltaco It's a joke, get that stick out of your ass, comedy is dead.
The actor was clearly hamming it up for the first part, and I love it.
mfw the actor is acting:
His family was actually slaughtered in front of him, he’s not acting.
...The Ministry of Truth is going to redact me now, aren't they?
@@CaydenSworn oh i wouldnt say redact. more like, thought correction. (megamind meme)
@@TK-7193 The joke is that the acting is corny on purpose.
the strength and the courage to be free...LMAO😂
"You could be next" is hilarious and terrifying.
Starship Troopers legacy lives on!
Not NEARLY enough people are acknowledging how well animated and how funny the facial expression at 0:29 is, I fucking love the happy to exaggerated shock/horror expressions!
Literally could not agree more… his facial expression animation probably was the first thing I noticed that made me laugh out loud and it’s one of the reasons I never skip this intro… ministry of truth mandates aside
Same!!
It's not even just how funny the facial animation is, but how spot on and realistic it is. Pretty much every other attempt at realistic CG facial animations always look uncanny and weird, like their is this odd disjoint between the words they are saying and the way their mouths move. Like they are some kind of puppet. But in this trailer, the faces move so naturally and feel alive, I don't get that uncanny valley feeling. Could almost believe it was live action to be honest.
It's 0:35 for me 😂
@@pjwander8998totally agree. Very first time I watched it I was like 'Are these graphics or people?" It's crazy, soon we won't be able to tell a difference between the two.
Love the way he suggests joining the frickin' army is a great way to AVOID getting brutally slaughtered by bugs.
It is. You don't get slaughtered by bugs serving. You just give your life to liberty! The ultimate privilege!
(THIS THREAD IS NOW BEING MONITORED FOR NON-DEMOCRATIC ACTIVITY.)
Love how this ad is set on Mars. They possibly took majority of their action shots in a controlled environment with less risk for the acting Helldivers to make themselves look cool. Hell, the Bile Titan isn't even moving.
I've said this to my friends a hundred times already but the facial animations in this are insanely good
When my wife saw the video she was surprised on real it looked, one day I am gonna go outside and be disappointed with the graphics
when i first saw this intro, i thought it was real locations (and people) with some CGI mixed in… this game is something else
The animators for this game did an incredible job. Your running changes based on terrain, even gradient. The reload animations, throwing animations, even the transition from aiming to sprinting etc are incredible
Its the lighting that does 80% of the work
@@GameMojo1 When my wife saw this trailer she left me to join the Helldivers
This game is what Starship Troopers: Extermination wanted to be
Granted ST:E is only in Early Access while HD2 is in full release. Lets look at it upon release, infacht HD2's success might help improve and steer ST:E : )
I like games from indie devs.
I feel bad because it looked decent and I followed their development, they tried, but this game completely blows it out of the water.

Somehow this makes me feel more patriotic than US Army ads (two mom version).
Same here, the Army should be taking notes from this.

Desire to know more intensifies.
I went to college, got a degree... it was ok... but me earning my cape? Not gonna lie, cried just a little until I remembered that Heroes of Democracy dont cry!
I didn’t just hear that snap I felt it
"Become a Helldiver" that line always gives me goosebumps
How he says “join” goes so hard
Yoooo! I took Voice acting lessons from this guy. He's really nice and really well versed in it. Really cool to see him in this cinematic as a random surprise.
What's his name?
@@alliedanchor8864I believe his name Democracy, accompanied by the nice ladies Liberty and Freedom
@@alliedanchor8864Craig Lee Thomas
What an absolute STUD. The way he changes his posture and cadence is godlike.
Yeah I'm surprised it was LUOCHA from Star rail
I'm going to say I'm surprised that the casting to be honest play got some popular voice actors
”Prove to yourself that you have the strenght and courage to be free… Join… *the Helldivers* ”
Become part of an elite peacekeeping force!
The chest bump wad just perfect.
That part where he says encounter exotic new life just to end its life with an rpg hit me hard 😂
Not as hard as it hit that Bile titan.

Ahh yes, no complicated names or goofy transactions or strange lore, just good ol “Super Earth” and a burning hatred for bugs
does he know
about the robots and goofy insurgents?
I don't hate bugs, I love democracy. Functionally the same thing.
Bugs, Walking Toasters and Liberty-hating traitors.
Pretty sure Helldivers does have lore
0:29 Helldiver fans witnessing what Sony is doing to the games
Well Sony is disgusting and naturally vile, what with censorship and awful practices and all. Makes sense they're a bunch of damn bugs.
Tbh if the US military still made recruitment propaganda like this, their recruiting numbers would be insane.
I’ve never felt so patriotic in my life
