Flagship studios are in the process of creating a stunning MMO with an amazing storyline to boot called Hellgate: London.
Hellgate takes place in the year 2038. In this time the world as we know it has changed dramatically. Demons emerging from what is only known as The Hellgate have overrun the earth and have nearly brought humans to extinction. With all practiced tactics useless against the unknown enemy only those with knowledge of holy, ancient and arcane rights could fight against the beasts. With London nearly destroyed the remaining humans are forced underground. Now with the upper world nearly converted into a demon homestead humans are learning new tactics to stop the invasion once and for all.
QUOTE
“Learning how to travel undetected.
Learning how to forge weapons capable of piercing unfathomable defenses.
Learning how to harness the forgotten and arcane powers of magic.
Learning how to kill demons and close the Hellgate.”
Hellgate offers two classes. Templar’s who use holy powers and combat, they believe they are the warriors put here to fight against evil and they will do just that and Cabalist’ users of magic who use the demons powers against them through spell casting, summoning and demon control.

“When the demons finally came, there was little that stood in their way”
The Combat system in Hellgate is in real time and a cross between traditional RPG combat and action-shooter game play. Mixing these features will allow Flagship to broaden the combat system and increase the level of excitement. This Combat will be crucial because players will come in contact with many demons and defeating them will be a main way to advance in the story. With over 50 unique demons gamers will find themselves fighting them in groups instead of one on one combat.
Questing will also play a role and Flagship has input three different quest types. Storyline quest, which give you further information about the current situation of the world, randomized quests, which are shorter and less important to the storyline but are unlimited in numbers and your NPC given quests, which can range in length but could take only 15 minutes to complete.
Hellgate will offer a multiplayer version and single player but both contain most of the same attributes besides some items.
More then half of Flagship Studios employees once worked on Diablo and Diablo 2 and have gain their fair share of experience. Hellgate: London is set for release in October and preorders are available now. Do not miss out on this action packed game with a storyline to die for.

The once great city lies in ruins. A massive, sinister gash in the fabric of our reality gnarls and churns, dominating the horizon as it blends into a permanently darkened sky.

it sounded absolutely amazing when i was reading what you said about it, but then watching those videos made me cringe! It just looks horrible, mixing guns with magic all with a look for to much like a quake game .. might have to give this one a mis :P
I'm tired of shooters. Seems like that's what everyone makes these days. Of course I've never been a big fan of FPS games to begin with, but I'll play them if they're good. Seems like they're all just a bunch of the same old with different artwork these days.

Well I hope that the new footage after its out of Alpha will make you more interested because it REALLY looks good in HD. That is preview Alpha footage from G4, just FYI. It only gets so good in alpha :-P
If I find something good for this game or any game that is better than the videos I have posted I will definately update ya.
I personnally am excited about this one, it looks pretty good to me.
I am looking more forward to Age of Conan then this Sci-Fi magic crap! What is this has the video game forgot the magic of distant worlds of magic and swordso f evil and good? This is an abomination and I think it will let down alot of people

I for one am getting a little tired of the same old fantasy MMO, I welcome this departure from the mundane!
They move kind've weird for my liking. And it also looks like its just like City of Heroes/Villains. The basic action bar with just different bullets and stuff. Shooters like that aren't what Im looking for in a shooter. The swords looked ok though. If I wanted to play a good shooter, I'll stick with my gears & their pretty graphics =)

Bleh, people and their fancy smancy guns with a skill bar. Whatever happened to the days when a gun was operated by a trigger?
Looks "alright". By alright, I mean not for me (I don't think). I don't know how a FPS RPG will work. I'm pretty skeptical on this one. Gimme beta or something, I'll try it out for a bit then.

You don't have to use guns. Only two of the six classes even specialize in guns.
Sorry for the double post, but I have urgent news. I am pleased to announce that the official release date for HG:L has finally been confirmed as Oct 31 for North America and Nov 2 for EU. Not sure about them Asians though. I'll update when it goes into open beta.

They have been taking pre-orders for Hellgate:London on the release date of October 31 for a few months now, but its cool to hear that is confirmed that it will be it.
Yeah, but before that they were taking preorders with it listed as Feb 12, then July 15, and continuously pulling dates out of the ether. Now we actually know this is the real one. :D
