Here's a preview of Hellgate: London, basically the next Diablo. The developers are ex Blizzard employees.

Yet another infantile FPS game made by adolescent boys for adolescent boys.
There's no game in The Sims. It's not a game. It's like watching a tank of goldfishes and feed them occasionally. - Urban RangerComment

It looks like a FPS, but it ain't one. Its like Diablo but with a first-person view. That said, it will probably be as infantile as Diablo was.Yet another infantile FPS game made by adolescent boys for adolescent boys.

Oh I'll most likely buy it. Blizzard makes fun games, but my opinion will not change.Originally posted by nostromo

Does that make you an adolescent boy then?
This is a game I will be keeping an eye on.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

While I admit I should show more conviction, I like playing computer games.

I don't know about this one. I saw a preview some time ago and just couldn't make up my mind. Too many rpg's these days turn out to be shooters-in-sheeps-clothing ...Comment

They call a RPG a first person game where you shoot at monsters. What's a FPS then? As far as I remember, you can find various weapons in FPS games. So they are just making a bit of "levelling up" and calling it an RPG? But then I go back to playing NetHack and ADOM rather than Diablo2 so I4m probably off the trend.Clash of Civilization team member

I think this looks good. The people working on it have a great pedigree.Comment

yeah they went with the 3rd person view to the 1st person view. I guess that makes the game more modern. But does it make it better?
it's supposed to take place on a futuristic earth. So there won't be magic in this game. The developers describe the weapons as being "magic hurling devices" (if I got that quote right). In essence, you will have a weapon that shoots a fireball instead of a spellcaster casting a fireball.
I'm a little more interested in guild wars, but I'll keep my eye on this one.Comment

It is not unprecedented - Deus Ex was a FPS with some RPG elements. Perhaps this game takes the idea to another level (no pun intended).Last edited by Skanky Burns; April 29, 2005, 20:52.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Deus Ex had a seriously good storyline though (look who I'm telling
).
The Diablo storyline ... well, not to put too fine a point on it, lacks a litle something or other ...
I'll certainly have another look when it's released but I won't be getting my hopes up.Comment
