Flagship just got b*tch-slapped.

Alexander Roy5769d ago

"Selfish and irresponsible"? Sounds like little kids fighting over something.

Bolts5769d ago

Sounds like some serious kids backed by some very serious lawyers. Either way Flagship Studios just got owned and came out looking like jerks. It was Flagship that laid off all the employees while Hanbitsoft wanted to give them jobs.

Can I ask if this game was any good?

FantasyStar5769d ago (Edited 5769d ago )

It's basically Diablo 2 but in 3D with a twist of FPS action. The idea was great, but the actual gameplay and everything overall felt average and mediocre. That's my take on it 5 hours in. Flagship didn't really expand the idea, and strictly stuck by the Diablo 2 formula, which killed it for me. On newer hardware, you'd expect more features and eye-gasms, but not this game.

Tyrael5769d ago

I mean we are talking about the old D2 team here - just because Hellgate wasn't the greatest in the world doesn't mean they don't have the potential to crank out another big one.

The founding members fired everyone to protect their own selfish interests.

17 Years Later, Hellgate: London Makes Surprise Return With New Game From Original Developer

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.

They actually are. It'll be a VR game. Not sure what Hanbitsoft is thinking. Supposedly Hellgate is doing GREAT in Korea, but not-so-much outside of it besides a fan revive called Hellgate: 2038. I'd actually love to see Bandai and the creators of DOOM team up for another rumble against Hell's forces.

Lon3wolf2280d ago

Indeed I wish they would, I'm really not interested in VR at the moment.

ThatDudeMunkee2280d ago

You and me both, Lon3wolf. I want a full new game or a REALLY good remaster. I think in today's market, it'd actually do a lot better under the proper team.

sampsonon2280d ago

i don't want another Doom game. i want Hellgate

Mulando2280d ago

Well Hellgate London had it's moments, but .. well not for the long run.

ThatDudeMunkee2280d ago

It's still alive, haha. There's a fan revival currently going on that just entered Open Alpha. I've actually tried it out. It's actually pretty solid and their servers are definitely as good as you'd hope for a private server.

bluefox7552280d ago

I enjoyed it. Felt like it was underrated.

sampsonon2280d ago

the atmosphere is incredible. f they remade the game with todays graphics but kept the actual look and feel of the game i would spend a ton of money on it. Engineer baby!!

amcka302280d ago

It's a shame Hellgate: London did so poorly. It was an interesting game, and well worth a sequel.

irishyort2280d ago

Never heard of it. What a shame :(

ThatDudeMunkee2280d ago

You can actually play it today! The fan revival has been a solid experience for me so far (aside from getting a good disc off Ebay or Amazon).

sampsonon2280d ago

can you link me the mod download for 2038 version please?

Just a note, you will need to make an account on their site, use a disc to install, and proceed from there.
