Hellgate: London – New Screens

Not familiar with the upcoming fps online rpg Hellgate: London? Have you been living under a rock? No matter. Here is some info for you pulled from the site:

“Set twenty-five years in the future, Hellgate: London introduces a world devastated by a demon invasion and a desolate city scorched by hellfire where mankind has gone underground to survive. Among them are the Templar, an archaic and secret society that foresaw this demonic apocalypse centuries ago. Followers of arcane rites, the Templar combine futuristic technology with ancient artifacts to forge powerful weapons and armor. The mystic sanctuary of the Underground system provides players safe conduct throughout the sprawling metropolis of London as they seek to preserve the bloodline of man and gain a foothold against the minions of darkness.

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”.

Set for an October release, just perusing the screens and the trailers makes me think seriously about paying $10 a month for premium membership. Well, at least that is the price Namco and Flagship Studios are considering – the price could go up or down depending upon the greed factor. Either way, $10 is not a bad price considering some of the other online games are much more expensive, and it is still a few bucks cheaper than a certain mmo we all can’t seem to get away from. The game looks awesome, so have fun with the new screens, and check out the other cool Hellgate: London stuff we have here at FileFront.
