Did a search and couldn't find anything, it's pretty much being designed by the guys from Blizzard North who pretty much created Diablo II. Here's the link:http://www.hellgatelondon.com/ , read somewhere that it is scheduled for an October 2007 release. 7/19/2007 9:56:02 PM |

Ok, this game deserves more attention. This is a class based action RPG from the same guys who made Diablo/Diablo II. The trailer for this game was absolutely awesome.
Quote : | "Hellgate: London combines the depth of role-playing games and action of first-person titles, while offering infinite playability with randomly created levels, items and events. The player creates a heroic character, completes quests and battles through innumerable hordes of demons to advance through experience levels and branching skill paths. A robust, flexible skill and spell system, highly customizable appearances and a massive variety of randomly generated equipment allow players to create their own unique hero." |

i really want to be able to play this game...
but i'm not going to be onboard with directX 10 for a while (i primarily use a laptop, just got mine 6 months ago and won't be replacing it anytime soon) unless i build a new desktop..
even still though, i'm looking forward to it. 7/27/2007 3:29:54 PM |

The developers have already came out and said that while it will have support for DX10 and Vista, it'll run perfectly fine on DX9 machines. You have to remember, this is essentially Blizzard, and historically they develop their games so they'll run on hardware up to 4 years old. 7/28/2007 2:30:47 PM |

Yay, and I was just about to bump this with all sorts of screenshots and info but you saved me the time . DarkHorse comics released a 4 issue comic that is suppose to be the backstory / setup for the game, and holy shit is this game gonna rock. 7/28/2007 2:34:20 PM |

One of my friends at work is playing the Alpha (or is it beta?) right now... he managed to get into the testing population.
And he is totally impressed, even though the demo they've been provided is pretty short. 8/8/2007 10:00:46 AM |

im in the beta it's ... meh at best.
and the monsters are uninspiring... feel like they're trying to rush out an unfinished game to meet their release date.
it's diablo-esque nature will draw in a lot of fans though if they make it a little more playable 10/18/2007 11:58:56 AM |

So what are yalls updated impressions of this game? Ive played the single player demo, and it got kind of boring running around by myself.. Is it more fun in multiplayer? 10/19/2007 8:03:12 AM |
Shrike All American 9594 Posts user info edit post |
I honestly didn't get around to playing it till close to midnight so I don't have much to say. I'll reiterate the sentiment that the graphics aren't all that hot. Animations are pretty good, but everything else is rather bland and simple. 10/19/2007 8:41:10 AM |
timswar All American 41050 Posts user info edit post |
the graphics are nice... but i'm using a less powerful laptop, so i've got it on medium settings... the few seconds i could stand looking at the pretty still images at max settings were nice though...
i'm enjoying playing it, character's a blademaster... but the problem is that i don't level fast enough to keep the game from getting repetitive during the beta, i just had a 5 minute conversation with the a/c guy looking away from my laptop and just clicking the mouse... i turned back to the screen and there were 9-10 dead npcs around me...
oh, and the online stuff is almost invisible to me... since it's all instanced i only see other players at the stations... at that point i'm wondering why even bother having it, although i assume there will be some kind of high-end grouping later down the line

I liked it. It felt like Diablo meets WoW (kinda) meets Doom. It will be interesting to see how they handle the multiplayer aspect. I didn't play much multiplayer Diablo asside from lan games so I don't know how b.net was done. 10/19/2007 10:35:27 AM |
Kainen All American 3507 Posts user info edit post |
for some reason the game reminds me of like Phantasy Star Online crossed with Diablo. It's inspired, but the animations are really clunky, so is the interface.
Alot of things don't make sense, there's a sizable memory leak that's affecting lots of players, and the combat action feels kinda 'detached' - I can't explain it, but it's kind of not very thrilling.
I'll play it a bit more b/c I'm only level 5 but I'm a tad bit 'meh' currently.

I picked up my copy today as well, sorry I hadn't posted my impressions from the beta I have been working alot lately. The beta is amazingly fun when you group, getting about 4 or more players in a group makes the difficulty and the number of monsters(i mean a shit ton) sky rocket which adds for some intense battles. I must say that the retail version of the game looks better than the beta and plays better too. It's to bad that the US servers are down on halloween when they are suppose to be throwing all these in game events or something . 10/31/2007 10:56:06 PM |
