    I mean, as long as they put effort into it and cater to the fan base, it could do well. If it is just an attempt at using an established name to create a new, generic sci-fi universe, it probably won’t be a hit.

      But Helldivers is based on Starship troopers the movie not the book but the new Starship troppers movie will be based not on the movie, so, the book?

      The book and the movie are wildy different, the movie was made by someone that didn’t bother reading the full book so just winged the story and made his own kida thing.

        That is leaving out the reason the movie isn’t cloessly following the book. It’s facistic. Like very much so.

          iirc the the creative who made the movie is quoted “I didn’t finish the book, it was too boring”

          Yes, the books is heavy on the facisism, so a true movie adaptation that isn’t going the route of satirical parody wouldn’t read so well, and nowadays it might be a little to close to reality.

      The stuff you’d include in a movie (fascism, capes, managed democracy, friendly fire, dropships, weird aliens) are the same between the two installments.
