Get your first look at gameplay from Offworld Industries' upcoming 12-player PvE co-op first-person shooter, Starship Troopers: Extermination, that's coming to PC Early Access in 2023.

Looks a bit like Command & Conquer Renegade, in a good way

 

[Putonahappyface]

I hate to be that guy, but Christ on a bike that looks dated. Well elements of that footage did imo.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Please be as good as Alien Fireteam. If this could do that sort of justice to the atmosphere in game, we'd really have something.

[Kupfer]

This looks exactly like I remember the Starship Troopers game from 2005

 

[Dibbs]

FUCK Yes!

 

[SJRB]

How does this look awesome and terrible at the same time?

 

[STARSBarry]

How does this look awesome and terrible at the same time?

It's made by the squad devs, which essentially made there own version of Operation Flashpoints multiplayer with there modern day twist.

The thing is, you can see they are using the same mechanics they already have refines in squad just now against AI and within a known IP.

Honestly they know what they are doing, it will be a little bit jank like squad but it gets the job done.

 

[Mr Hyde]

12 player co-op?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Looks like a good concept gameplay wise but I’m not sure I’m down with shooting the same bug for that length of time. I hope there’s some enemy variety at least.

 

[Nemesisuuu]

Jumped into trailer just to hear music score.

Did not expect Poledouris, but still disappointed.

 

[Pejo]

Regardless, it's Co-Op so that will automatically mean that it's fun if you have a few friends to play with.

Now to convince my friends that it's worth a purchase to begin with....

 

[H4ze]

Alright I'm in, no doubt. I am a huge sucker for coop-pve and Starship Troopers is one of my goat movies, second most watched movie for me.

Do you want to live forever?

 

[YuLY]

I hate to be that guy, but Christ on a bike that looks dated. Well elements of that footage did imo.

Yep, looks trash, like it was made by a 3man indie team who were fans of the 2005 FPS. I cant possibly see how this has any chance in the current multiplayer environment with so many established IPs. Dead on arrival imo.

 

[lh032]

frame rate looks pretty bad, and looks like launch ps4 game.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Its looks pretty bad, no effects on the aliens when the bullets hit them.

 

[Games of Today]

I'm honestly not a fan that they added iron sights to the Morita rifle. Hip firing and firing over the bore is part of why the movie is so silly.

 

[DelireMan7]

Hope for console release at one point

 

[Jack Package]

This is the game I’ve always dreamed of! I adore the early 00s Halo rip-off fps, but this, to play with pals? If this sucks I fuckin give up with gaming. It’s a slam dunk!

 

[Jack Package]

This looks exactly like I remember the Starship Troopers game from 2005

That game is amazing! It’s a complete Halo rip-off, but it knows exactly what it is, and it’s just so much fun!

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

That just looks sad.

 

[Moses85]

Nice PS3 Game

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I want a Crossover with Halo

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Torrent of Pork]

As a fan of the original Heinlein masterpiece.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Do your part in the mobile infantry in Starship Troopers: Extermination-- a co-op FPS that puts you on the far-off front lines of an all-out battle against the Bugs!

 

[Jack Package]

The more I see of this, he more hyped I am.

That VO in the ad sounds like Kermit the frog trying to be serious, though.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Jinzo Prime]

That VO in the ad sounds like Kermit the frog trying to be serious, though.

It needs a filter to make it sound like an old school newsreel, which I assume is what they were going for.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Poor roaches, they were just there minding their own business and then stomp.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[VN1X]

I will do my part. o7

Whatever happened to the statedgy game that was meant to come out? Sure it was veing made by those that made the dune rts

If you mean Terran Command then its been out for several months already on Steam

Any good? Best times i had in Starcraft was playing Starship Troopers maps.

So long as you go in with the mindset of it being a good game instead of great then you can have some fun with it, the likes of CDKeys have it at a decent price these days to sweeten the deal. Devs still updating it too as they're currently looking at opening up custom maps via Steam Workshop.

 

[BbMajor7th]

Looks very unimaginative and - as others have said - quite dated. A surefire hit in 2008, but in 2023?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Starship Troopers, Squad, Operation: Harsh Doorstop, Mods

 

[drotahorror]

Early access starts on May 17th

I was just thinking this! Memories have a funny way of warming things up.

I remember it being a real GPU melter back in the day too.

 

[BlackTron]

I'm playing this no matter how bad it is

 

[darrylgorn]

Warning: The Base Is Under Attack

And it's fun as hell.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Mack gave it a thumbs up. So it’s already faring better than the majority of broken AAA junk.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

[Roman Empire]

Man, it has been a hot minute since I've seen anything about this game. Can't really blame it after the successful launch of Helldivers 2. I love Starship Trooper but I don't know how well the game is doing.

 

[crackajack]

I haven't played either, but since Starship Troopers is a Sony IP; i think at least, Tristar??, having a Starship Trooper skin and a few bugs in Helldivers might make sense, and in reverse Helldivers and some of their bugs in this game? I assume Starship would have to gain more from it than Helldivers now, but if both is Sony stuff, why not. Judging from the video it does not look that different to me anyway, and would just be a little mostly cosmetic fun.

What I can't believe is how they are essentially the same game, that this came out first, is a known IP and went completely under the radar while Helldivers blew up.

An interview feature with the developers of Starship Troopers: Extermination aired during the Summer Showcase Expansion Pack. Project Lead Peter Maurice and Lead Game Designer Chaz Barker provided a deep dive on the latest update coming to the co-op FPS, which you can check out on Steam right now.
