Starship Troopers: Extermination - because previous FPS sucked and can't be re-released

[Tyranicon]

Cool. The only problem it will become META, and if you deviate from it, people will get pissed off. This seems to happen to every FPS I have played that involves teamwork.

Yes, it's annoying but it makes sense in a game like this since there probably is a mathematically superior defensive structure. Additionally, building fortifications is timed and resources are limited, so you really don't want people off playing minecraft.

If they ever release the hardest difficulty (hero of the federation) I'm sure players will rigidly stick to what works. Like in most other games, people won't care too much in easier modes.

That being said, the game is far too easy even on Veteran. Out of like 30 or so games I only saw one "loss," which I joined in the last two minutes just to see 10 dudes running around while plasma bugs homed in on the ARC (generic objective that needs to be protected).

It seems basically impossible to lose a mission.

It seems this game was "re-announced" recently:

Cool to see Casper Van Dien in the role of Rico again. He seems very enthusiastic about the game too. Very

Infinitron Is this just co-op or can it be played single-player?

Unless they changed it from when I played it, it's 16-man lobbies without an option to play with bots.

It's not singleplayer at all unless they added a new mode.

I wonder if they're trying to corner the Helldivers market.

This "music" makes my ears bleed. We went from Basil Poledouris to some incoherent ghetto rambling.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

Is this a cooperative survival game?

 

[Tyranicon]

-> starts off a trailer for Starship Troopers with "yo yo like and subscribe to BugKillerMike bitches"
-> blasts crappy offbrand zoomer music

my sides

Might redownload at some point but it doesnt look like they added much at all.

 

[Alienman]

Music put me off it. Wtf was that.

 

[Beastro]

Game like this would be neat with two teams where the bug side is players coordinating the bug horde and acting in places/moments where human intelligence would effectively throw the enemy off and undermine their strategies.

Sounds like the Natural Selection games.

ya instant pass, it's fortunately a very good indicator if a game is worth playing or not. I'd almost go as far as if vocals are used period, with W3 style music being the only exception.

What’s with Sony approving this sudden flood of games based on SST? They’re not making a movie or anything.

 

[Tyranicon]

I re-downloaded it and to my surprise, they actually did add more classes, kit, etc to the game and the guns sound way better.

Unfortunately it has a concurrent player pop of less than 1k which means for a 16-man lobby game it's basically on life support.

Should be easy. Make the same game but don't fuck it up with stupid bullshit.

 

[Modron]

Make the same game but don't fuck it up with stupid bullshit.

Big ask in current year.

 

[RaggleFraggle]

The problem with Starship Troopers is that Sony turned it into a shitty attempt at satire, when a serious adaptation of the original story is what would really sell. Like Starcraft, they’re just an inferior competitor to 40k.

 

[I eat frozen vegetables]

At this point, it would be an easier ask to do Starship Troopers DLC for various games. Helldivers 2 and Earth Defense Force immediately come to mind.
