Looks like Arrowhead might be moving forward with PSN despite "internal discussions".

Oh yeah definitely, Starship troopers is a huge influence to both, I don't disagree at all, the Starship troopers games seem to be a bit more serious and gritty in comparison to edf though. I'd say the gameplay in helldivers is very EDF also with the huge big swarms and over the top weapons.

I much prefer the extremely deliberate aiming and the heavily physics influenced combat of Helldivers. Just makes it feel a lot deeper than EDF that sort of makes up for that granular detail by instead being extremely arcadey and over the top in its weapons and class abilities.

They play quite differently even though they have some surface similarities, but EDF is indeed also awesome and I wish it was more popular.
