Though I haven’t been able to play it (or anything else that isn’t a review game) for ages now, I have a lot of love for Arrowhead’s Helldivers. It’s a fantastic, team-based top-down shooter that takes the best things from Warframe and Destiny and gives them a new perspective. It’s also like the Starship Troopers game we never got – which means very quickly became one of my favourite PSN titles. And as we told you, it’s getting a bunch of free content. Here’s what that new free content is.
Arrowhead has detailed what you’ll be getting in the “Turn up the heat” update, with three videos, each detailing something new; new enemy types, new objectives and a brand new environment. I’d wager there are probably a few new weapons to play around with too.
The new update also increases the game’s level cap to 27, probably making the difficult game even tougher. If you haven’t played Helldivers, and need a fun, but tough co-operative game to play with your buddies, I can’t recommend Helldivers enough. It’s available on PlayStation platforms only – but buying it once gets you Vita, PS3 and Ps4 versions of the game – but it’s not just cross buy – it allows for cross save, cross chat and cross play between all three platforms.
Here are those videos, and a link to our review of the thing. No word on when the content is coming, but it’s apparently soon.

I would play this, if it was on Steam

definitely, but I see its on ps3, so its time to dust the puppy off as I like this game.

It really is fun. Simplistic but hectic at times.

I just keep thinking “where is the mouse pointer?” which is quickly followed by “wait you have to use a controller for that?”
Madness.

Sigh. We give a man thumbs, and he doesn’t even bother using them to game. GG Humans. Uninstall please.

I’ll have you know, Private Steyn has a very respectable K/D in a brilliant FPS we both play

I use my thumbs more than you actually. You use it to hold a mouse in place.

Hammersteyn. I’m going to teach you something about PCs now. 😀
We only use one hand on our mouse. 😀
Hammersteyn
May 12, 2015 at 09:01
The other thumb’s for space bar?
Admiral Chief
May 12, 2015 at 09:01

I have about five extra buttons on mine. So great for item management in dota. Frees up my keyboard for all the other shortcuts I need.
I literally think my mouse has about as many buttons as the average controller. 😛
Hammersteyn
May 12, 2015 at 09:02
Mine too, but my thumbs are too short to reach O_o

Mice were originally designed for radar navigation and microsoft word, while console controllers were specifically designed for gaming…

I can spoon like a boss…….wait what?
Admiral Chief
May 12, 2015 at 08:56
If doing something “like a boss” means paying someone else peanuts to do YOUR job, I don’t wanna do it like a boss

I’ve seen my nephew on one of those controllers. Those aren’t skills. Those are random button mashing machinations that randomly spit out movements we only THINK are skill. But they’re really just little bits of the devil seeping through the veil.
I’m taking an ideological position on this one. 😀
Hammersteyn
May 12, 2015 at 08:54
Rofl, good luck random button mashing here. Friendly fire isn’t disabled in this game
