our GM is the best: he isn't just checking boxes and automating events. every time i talk to him, he is planning, organizing, monitoring community sentiment with me, and he is mourning and celebrating with players as they experience these big moments in the galactic war
'We have an actual person with the title of Game Master': A single Helldivers 2 dev named Joel is pulling the strings on its galactic war like an all-powerful D&D dungeon master, war will become 'more and more sophisticated over time.'
tell me what you think of this video
do you like it (i like it)
does it make you feel like a helldiver (yes)
do you want more things like this (say yes)

His voice has felt like a part of me, my internal monologue, for 22 years. Probably his will be the voice that narrates my life forever, rasping from a speaker buried deep in my heart.
Rest in peace. 💔
Maybe people would like to know why I have an easter egg in Alan Wake 1 as well.
Easy. The love of my life did it.
We were good friends & lost touch after the Max Payne times. If I'd known he was behind it, I would have just hopped on a plane in 2010 and never looked back.

there's no better person for this big job than joel who is both a master strategist and genuine roleplayer. our studio and our players are fortunate to have someone who cares so much about fostering these experiences

From Max Payne to Alan Wake 2. We asked Sam Lake to pick a favorite moment from each of the Remedy games he’s worked on in over 20 years at the studio.
Scott, money can buy you a lot. A dev team, an IP, online clout, bad friends...
But you know what it can't buy? Respect.
@SelacoGame
so looking forward to your beautiful game. Best of luck, kings.
Look I know that voice doesn't come out of that face.
I have known that for 22 years.
but whyyyyyy do I still think that it does? I look at his face and hear James McCaffrey and I'm like, "That's real. That's him."
PRESIDENTIAL DECREE: The President of Super Earth has officially recognized this day as Malevelon Creek Memorial Day.
This week, in remembrance, all Helldivers will be issued a special commemorative cape, so they may carry the memory of their fallen companions into battle.

We have issued a patch for PC players (PS5 patch is coming soon) that introduces planetary hazards, balancing updates, and more!

Anyone interested in some Remedy themed movie recs? 🤔

it might even suck worse

he's allowed to have opinions even if they are terrible
leave him alone or i'll eat your faces

I never do this. No other game seems worth it to me, but with Alan Wake 2, it was an absolute pleasure to replay, to hunt, to collect.
I brought you the trophy, witch - show me the DLC! 😅
Hey, writers who love Alan Wake 2, I'd like to tell you about a kind of poem that I think Alan Wake probably loves:
the sestina.
There will be AW2 talk, so do finish the game. I'm going to bury the lede a bit here, too, for creative effect.
Good? Let’s go!
I played AW2 all weekend but you know what else I did?
I fucking wrote. At a few points, I alt-tabbed out of AW2 to write thousands of words, just emptying out of my brain at full speed. Nothing feels as good as being inspired. It's the only drug I ever want to take.
Everyone who knows me knows how big it is for me to say this about a game that isn't Max Payne:
I think this might be the greatest game I've ever played.
Thank you. ❤️

And I'm not alone in thinking this. The Ministry of Truth agrees that this is propaganda from bug sympathizers that want to brainwash
Somehow, the Automatons returned.
As suspected all along, the previous Bot force was merely a vanguard. A massive fleet has now begun an assault of Cyberstan and the surrounding planets. Helldivers, hold back this unprovoked invasion. The fight continues!

If you're enjoying Helldivers please take a sec to appreciate the humans behind the game. Look at these little creative cuties, gettin' on with their badass selves makin' cool af games and celebrating a well-deserved positive launch.

thanks for understanding, buddy
I'm glad Remedy is doing the work but no we don't need remakes.
These remakes will be great but they won't be as special as the original games. Lightning in a bottle. Crystalline beauty.
Don't get it twisted: I am excited. But come on. These games are perfect as is.
I don't know if this is a "hot take" but do we really need a Max Payne remake? The first two games still look and play amazingly well with minimal effort required to get it running. We need to normalize people putting in a modicum of effort to get older games working.
Next week I'm taking an -actual- vacation for the first time since HD2 came out... first time in a year actually.
I feel pretty burnt out and tired and I'm really looking forward to this.
Greatest game in the universe.
Indeed I have this silly persona built around how much I love it, but this is also genuinely my favorite game of all time. It was a perfect storm for little me: comics, HK action, film noir. A hammer couldn't nail it that well.
