Voodoo Extreme (http://www.ve3d.com) has 2 new sets of screens up.

The first set is of EA's upcoming Battlefield: 2142 (http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/711/711668p1.html).

The second set is of Flagship Studio's upcoming Hellgate: London (http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/711/711670p1.html).

2142 is looking pretty good graphically. It seems like forever that we've been seeing screens of Hellgate.

Hellgate tops my most wanted list.

Please, don't suck.

I dunno, 2142 doesn't look any better than BF2MC, which is disappointing considering it's coming like over a year later. Plus it kinda looks really generic. Quake Wars looks far better, IMO.

Hellgate does NOTHING for me looking at those screens.

BF2142 looks bland, although the Titan mode reminds me of the glory days of boarding the enemy ship in Starsiege Tribes' map Broadside and bombing their generators.

Hellgate: London looks like a boring rehash of Doom 3 with some weird sword wielding flair. In other words, /yawn.

It looks pretty, it looks skeery, and I bet it's going to end up boring as fuck.

All of those screens look sweet. While not better than BF2 by a huge amount, i think there is a little improvment in BF2141, Hopefully it will take advantage of that physics card, and have cool hovering mechs...*drools*

Hopefully the melee in Hellgate: London is done well, often i find it is just so much easier to use the good ol' guns, that the melee seems to just be a gimmik thrown in.

Someone missed the point of Hellgate.

It's a FPS Diablo. Not a rehash of Doom 3 at all.

So in 130 years, we'll finally have the technology to make the front of APC's (http://mediaviewer.ign.com/ignMediaPage.jsp?media_id=3660120&article_id=711668&channel_id=261&page_title=Battlefield+2142+Screenshots&adString=network%3Dign%26site%3Dve3d%26pagetype%3D mediaimgfat%26pagetype%3Dmediaimgfat&return_url=http%3A%2F%2Fve3d.ign.com%2Farticles%2F 711%2F711668p1.html) look like a knight's helmet, and be able to successfully put thick armour hubcaps on the wheels?

What a wonderous era.

All of the vehicle designs I've seen in BF2142 so far just look utterly generic.

I can only assume that the driver has to bend his knees backward. Not much room up front by the looks of it. ;)

BF2412 may look the same to BF2MC, but gameplay-wise it wouldn't be too hard to be better than BF2MC.

I keep seeing Bf2142 screenshots, and thinking... hmmm, planetside with a facelift. :-)

The term: FPS-RPG gets me wet! (I'm a guy) Hellgate: London is currently on a "when it's done" schedual.

It probably seems like forever you've been seeing screens of Hellgate because of how Blizza.... Flagship does things. Remember how long we had to wait for Diablo 2 to finally release? Roper doesn't like to release anything till it is overflowing with what he considers quality. Namco, when they hired Roper and the rest of the staff that defected from Blizzard, gave them permission to take as much time as they needed to make whatever game they pleased. Pretty awesome deal for a new development studio.

dunno, i hope hellgate eventually puts out a demo, because to me it just seems like nothing more then a fancier painkiller gib fest.
