Dozens of Hellgate: London screens

[Silencer]

RPGDot informs that you are to point your browsers to www.worthplaying.com for a truckload of screenies from Flagship Studios' Hellgate: London:<blockquote>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. </blockquote>Can't say the game is post-nuclear in any way, but certainly a scorched, fiend-ridden London has its appeal.

Those screenshots look kind of pretty, actually. The phantom 'roleplaying' aspect remains elusive, though. Why don't they just cut the crap and call the game first person shooter (which it is)?

Can't say the game is post-nuclear in any way, but certainly a scorched, fiend-ridden London has its appeal.

Cool, I have been longing to see a decent portrayal of modern-day London.

Not post-nuclear, but post-apocalyptic. Most games we cover aren't post-nuke per se, but often post-apoc. The Fall, for one. Though this is an odd mix between post-apoc and fantasy.

And Ratty; I think the whole "whether or not you hit an opponent depends for a large part on your skills and those of the opponent, not how fast or acurately you click it" is a pretty convincing argument to call it a hack-n-slash CRPG like Diablo, not a FPS.

That's what I was emphasizing, it is PA in a very literal meaning of "apocalyptic".

Still, The Fall is more Fallouty than that it terms of a general feel of the postapocalypse. Not that I don't thing a Hellgate in London is un9interesting
