Helldivers 2 prompting people to rediscover Starship Troopers, which game director says is “incredible”
Cult 90s sci-fi movie Starship Troopers has had a little bit of a renaissance of late, which has been attributed to the releases of Helldivers 2 on PlayStation and PC.
According to on-line TV scores tracker Television Stats, the 1997 launch has seen its viewership stats, Wikipedia rank, and IMDB rank all see a big rise over latest days.
A fast flick through social media will see a number of posts linking this renewed curiosity in Starship Troopers with the discharge of Helldivers 2 earlier this month, and this hasn’t handed the game director by. Sharing some stats on X exhibiting a rise in Starship Troopers’ reputation, Johan Pilestedt stated: “This is incredible!”
What’s extra unbelievable is the movie’s reputation has really risen 20 locations since Pilestedt’s remark. According to the tracker, Starship Troopers is at the moment the 25th hottest movie on-line on the time of writing. It was sitting at #45 a couple of days in the past.
All in all, that is not dangerous for a movie that was launched virtually 27 years in the past with little or no vital acclaim.
Helldivers 2 has seen some unbelievable numbers because it was launched. Its present participant peak on Steam is 411,359. This is a rise for the reason that weekend, when the game overtook data for Steam stalwarts reminiscent of Rust, Destiny 2 and even GTA5.
“With its high-chaos, high-comedy firefights, Helldivers 2 is a riot to play with friends,” Emma Kent wrote in Eurogamer’s 4 star overview.
“Despite the issues surrounding matchmaking, when Helldivers 2 works, it’s a wonderfully slapstick co-op experience. Unexpected and memorable events seem to occur in nearly every battle, and I already have a stock of ludicrous stories from my first week with the game.”
