Helldivers 2 Loading Screen Remake 

Hi everyone, This has gotten wayyyyyy more attention than I anticipated for something I just did for a little bit of fun. I'm glad so many people have enjoyed it, even though it is just a short clip. To answer some common questions/comments: 1. These shots were pre-rendered and composited - no it is not a mod, nor does it use unreal engine or any other real-time renderer, therefore no, you can not run it in your game. 2. I am not suggesting that anything like this be implemented in the game. I really like the helldive sequence as it is, and to make it pre-rendered would take away from the dynamic nature of the cutscene, with the real planet, lighting conditions, amount of pods etc. that are present in your mission all showing up correctly in the loading screen. This is a massive part of why that loadgin screen is so cool and to replace that with something pre-rendered for the sake of graphical fidelity would be a misstep in my opinion. 3. The sound effects used in this clip are all just taken from the game - I haven't edited them in any way, and you can hear the exact same sound effects if you drop into a mission right now. 4. For everyone critiquing the physics/scientific accuracy of this sequence: my intention was to recreate the helldive with all the same visual elements as in the game, upgrading the lighting, composition and graphical fidelity. If you think something isn't physically accurate, you will have to take it up with Arrowhead. Thank you everyone for all the kind comments - It's unlikely that I will make anything else Helldivers related but I'm glad to know so many people have enjoyed this!

Ok I’m waiting for the Helldivers movie. Just don’t let disney make it.

this is Halo 2 Anniversary cutscenes levels of quality holy crap

I love seeing the other helldiver pods in the background, it really gives that sense of camaraderie and how we are Super Earths last line of offense.

It's insane the black magic visual quality Arrowhead has gotten out of Autodesk Stingray. Here you have an amazing visual artist pumping out pre-rendered beauty, and if I slipped it into footage of the game, people could miss it.

Bro Helldivers 2 NEEDS to be a flipping movie, I’m not kidding rn!

The way the sun is just hitting the topmost layer of clouds while the rest is still in the dark is just 👌👌 shows you the beauty of the planet right before you get sent to hell

I’m convinced that this is the best game to come out within the last decade

This is it! The solemn duty for which you were born... Defend democracy, at any cost!

Definitely better than the original! Cinematography, graphics, camera shots and direction, all amazing

Insanely well done, looks like it could be in a movie!

i love how the pod is slightly rotating as any bullet should in order to stabilize its trajectory, makes it feel much more real and immersive.

“Listen up divers, you know the mission. You know the cost. Complete it so you may extract with honor.

this was cinematic af

This is a cinematic masterpiece. The way the pod is fired and almost gets out of plane, like the camera is struggling to follow it, gives the spectator a sense of speed no other rendering of this kind does. It's really well put together.

Get them to replace the animation with this immediately this is so clean

Looks...as beautifull as the original one...except that the planet in the backgrorund looks more beautifull actually

Scenes like this make Helldivers 2 need a movie, do it right and you've made it the film of the year, trust me

Now that is cinematic as hell

Ok. That was bloody amazing. Would be so cool to see them do something like that.

Looks amazing! I think the camera angle and being able to show the stark difference between the cold stars and flaming pod really gives this a sense of speed and impending impact. Very good job. 👀✨

I swear the helldivers drop pod music always gives me goosebumps, and this scene just enhances it by so much. I just imagine that there are SEAF Soldiers fighting for survival down there in the planet by the bugs amd desperately requesting for extraction. But instead of extraction, they get salvation as a bright light emerges into the atmosphere like an oncoming fright train of liberty which pierces through the body of a Bile titan, incapacitating it before a Helldiver rises from within the pod, finishes off the Titan and lays managed democracy on all the bugs.

this feels like something straight out of the halo 2 remake cutscenes good job

Woah helldivers 3 looks sick

now that's a loading screen. should submit that to the devs. looks so more immersive than the current one

UGH, that hit me right in the gut!!! Friggin' GLORIOUS!

i cant stop watcing it looks so awesome

This is amazing! Great work!

Very Nicely Done!

That gave goosebumps. Excellent job!

Lucky that my pc needs exactly as long as the music takes to perfectly end the loop on landing. I love it

Beautiful.

So sick. You made a beautiful game look even beautifuller!!❤

- "When that hellpod deployment alarm goes off, that's when you know it's for real!" - A kid in my squad the other day, playing in helldive difficulty for the first time.

Love the rotation of the pod, wish there was more of it in the in-game render.

This really felt like a halo 2 remastered-level cutscene. Seriously phenomenal work with the lighting and background details

This is awesome! I think the loading screens already perfect, I think the devs mentioned a first person view from inside the pod that might come later which would be insane. Regardless this looks amazing!

Great work! This looks amazing! It makes Helldivers feel like a movie. =

This should become the new loading screen, looks great

This is one of the best things I’ve seen on the internet

This looks sick!

Good job bro, that is really good

if they make a helldivers 3 that shit is going to be the most cinematic experience

Alright, this video alone has convinced me that a Helldivers movie is necessary. Fantastic work!

A helldivers show would go crazy

Outstanding work citizen.

Outstanding work fellow helldiver

Amazing homage.

WOW!!! That's amazing!!!

I‘m still waiting to see the loading screen because this is to great to be a loading screen 🤩

That was beautiful

I love the sense of velocity in this

That was sick!!

I always thought i could see a grid pattern in the stars in game during that little cinematic, this looks epic

Wait… this is actually sick 🤯

Incredible

This is Amazing

This is super cool

This is insane actually

This is so fucking amazing.

An idea that I got for the main protagonist group, is that the 3 main characters go through the story as usual, while there is a 4 one that just keeps dying and being redeployed suffering comedic and really exaggerated deaths lol

bruh send this to them asap, this is dope

very nice man

Someone here said it but I'll say it too. This is Blur Studios Halo 2 Anniversary levels of quality.

The accurate shadows on the super destroyer is a great touch

This goes hard af

I can't wait to see this in Helldivers 3

Great job

i love how the music didnt even finish... the true HD2 loading screen experience with fast internet

Absolute cinema

Ah! yes, the Helldivers 2 Anniversary addition!

amazing

Helldivers 3 is gonna be so sick

Game of the Year ...maybe Loading Screen of the Year ,Confirm ✅

If helldivers ever become a movie, i don't want anyone to have names or faces. Just call them J1 or F2 and just have them go through mission after mission with crazy liberating action set pieces from start to end.

Now that is cool asf

I temember the first time I saw the drop sequence when I got the game. I havent felt so much chills from a game before. It gave me such a patriotic feeling which I have never felt from a game before. The sound of the helldiver pod breaking the planets stratosphere along with the soundtrack was incredible. It was a REALLY good introduction to a video game.

wow amazing

This was really good. We don't need a movie. We need you to work on Helldivers 3.

The only thing that could make this better would be 3 other Hellpods coming into view as the solo makes their way to the surface.

The sound effects and entrance is really polished. Now the came is starting to look like more like a AAA game

this tickles that part of my brain that needs good sci fi

0:07 the smoke was crisp

Mj_Potato hit us once again with a banger 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

"Helldivers II NEEDS to be a movie!!" mfs when I tell them about Starship Troopers (they are genuinely excited and want to watch man kill bug once again) Genuinely though, this looks so good it almost makes the rest of the game look bad. Stellar job

DAAAAAAÀAMN, THAT SHADING THO!!!

That pod launch sounded so sweet

That looks like a movie. It's so good! (Rip PC if had that graphics tho)

I wish the devs would see this video and take it as an inspiration

That look sick, imagine if the camera had a transition from side view to top view, that would be so smooth and even sicker

Insane, would be cool to see an update in the future where you can toggle settings to make your PC cry :D

I know they say if it isn't broken don't fix it, but damn, this is beautiful.

Bro it looks like Blur Studios made this. Amazing!

EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!

Nice!!!!

very well done! any chance you could make a version with all 4 pods?

Very cool

It didn’t need a remake, but it got one. And it’s fucking awesome

Awesome

This looks like it's straight out of a movie. Fucking Dope!
