Katharine Fletcher of Play:Digital looks at the single-player demo of the action-RPG Hellgate: London.
It’s London baby! But not as we know it. Step this way for a look at the Hellgate: London demo. The full game is released today (2nd Nov) and looks to be a pretty stylish offering for fans of the emergent RPG/FPS crossover genre, although all that Templar stuff looks like it may well just be a cool setting rather than offering much in the way of plot (not quite as bad as Dan Brown, but you get the idea). And guys, what’s with the accents? Did you think no-one from England would play this game or something?
Before Flagship Studios, there was Blizzard North. Originally known as Condor, the Redwood-based studio was acquired in 1997 by Blizzard Entertainment. At the time, Blizzard North was hard at work on the development of the game that would be the cornerstone of everything that came after: Diablo.
IGN : Remember Hellgate: London? The dark fantasy action role-playing game came out in 2007 for PC, a year before developer Flagship Studios went bankrupt. Since then, various free-to-play and online revivals have come and gone. Now, 17 years after the release of Hellgate: London, it’s back.
I remember some friends and I all bought Hellgate: London day one because it was made by some original Diablo devs. We had fun playing it, good memories.
PC Invasion: Hellgate: London is back on Steam, but it's not what you expect it to be. It's a single-player game in the vein of Asian MMOs.
Is it just me, or does the attraction factor of a girl go up ten times when they are real gamers? In nerd language that question is made into a statement: "Game girlz r hawt". I already got a gaming gf, so I'm not looking around though, but the formula definetly holds true!
