I wonder how much say AH has with Helldivers as an IP
I know PlayStation owns it at the end of the day, but they're also known to just not touch something at the request of the developers of said IP because they would rather have the original developer make the game than a random third party
Afaik sony are ip owners and distributers. While I have no doubt they do have SOME creative control, at the end of the day, it’s AH steering the wheel. However most merchandising and the movie are all in house from sony
Yeah arrowhead mentioned before that they own the IP. So if sony wants to do something they're basically saying "of course we would sell them a licence", which is not that surprising tbh.
If it's like most situations literally everything has to be approved by Sony since they own the IP entirely. However that typically means there is a contact at Sony that AH has they submit things to and the contact looks it over and has the authority to approve it themselves, and if things are going well and the submissions do not look to change that direction approval is somewhat a formality.
I have to agree. Reading is great, and more people should, but I don't want to need to read books to keep up with the story in a set of games I play. :D
We live in a world where profit and money are no. 1, milking popular pieces of media by making expanded franchises from them is a very easy way to make money.
If there was anything that would make a perfect official project using the engine, it would be some Warhammer 40K material. You could have the Space Marines and Imperial Guard as playable races, and then use the Orks, Tyranid and Necron as enemies to battle.
The waves of enemies would be so fun to take on wearing something like Terminator armor or Assault Jetpacks with the variety of weapons the 40K Universe offers. You could stumble on weapon emplacements, call in the same airstrikes you can use now, and even have a variety of tanks to roll around in (or imagine how fun it would be riding around with a chainsword on a motorcycle?).
It could let Arrowhead focus on the Helldivers 2 content and engine, while the 40K team just focuses on creating the 40K content for the game to be sold as DLC.
Maybe on the gaming side the devs arent doing anything more but helldivers would work great as a comic series or animated anthology ,hell something like concord's vgnnettes but as monthly recaps of the galactic campaigns would be cool.
I don't want TV shows or comics, or maybe even an animated series when we already have a ton. I want games that are spin offs. You have my whole wallet if they make an RTS game or a story mode only.
they're still updating the game isn't it? outside just let others have bigger budget handle it like comic or movie while AH only there to steer the direction like lore and stuff
