1up.com (http://www.1up.com) have an in-depth look at Hellgate: London; Flagship Studio "Diablo-killer". They have put entire week of Hellgate: London! cover story releasing different part each day. You can read and view the site here. (http://www.1up.com/do/minisite?cId=3158832)

Jolly olde London Town. A place of merriment, culture, well-soaked late-night revelry, Big Ben, and some chips wrapped in newspaper. A summertime stroll in Kensington Park, the crowds of Piccadilly Circus, Madame Tussaud's waxworks, and double-decker buses...no more. The masterminds behind the brilliant Diablo franchise have returned to do battle with the forces of hell one more time, in Hellgate: London. To help set the mood for the week to come (and the game to come), we've assembled some of the art and in-game music for you to sample while you stew in anticipation of Flagship Studio's latest magnum opus.

Looking forward to this game.

Is there a firm release date for this or are they doing the ole "when it's done" two-step. If they can't give a date, an expected release year would be nice.

Did they ever say if this was coming to consoles?

If they're still charging for the multiplayer, I'm out. If they're not, I'm very very excited. Unfortunately, that article doesn't seem to tell me.

These are old Blizzard guys...so "when it's done." It SHOULD be some time this year, though. Remember they are not just making a game, they are designing their online infastructure as well. That is what took the Arena Net guys so long.

As far as I know this is only coming to PC for now, who knows if in the near future they released the game to consoles too.

In a GFW interview Roper said, they are not considering it right now. For the mentioned online Infastructure building. Same reason there is not Guild Wars or WoW on consoles.

1up.com (http://www.1up.com) have an in-depth look at Hellgate: London; Flagship Studio "Diablo-killer".
An appositive (http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/appositive.htm) does not require a semi-colon. A comma is more than sufficient. Additionally, "Studio" should have a possessive "'s" added to it (i.e. Flagship Studio's "Diablo-killer").

Add an "an" before "entire"

Remove the explanation point after London

"Looking forward to this game." is a fragment, not a sentence.

Sorry to be the grammar police, but 5 errors in this short piece in what is supposed to be a published news story is pretty awful. I let one, and sometimes two, slide all the time, but 5? Clearly this was not reread even once before submission.

My apologies but I have said it before English is not my first language.
Is like if you were posting news in Spanish, believe me when I said is far more difficult that you could ever imagine we got comma, accent in vocales. etcetera. Anyway I'm still giving my best :) and thats is what is important.

I barely speak 2 foreign languages (can get by but I can't conjugate verb tense correctly), so I'm impressed with your English.

However, the front page news really does need to contain impeccable, or at least close to impeccable grammar.

I'm looking forward to the content in this cover story, but I seriously think Jame Mielke's bit from Monday (Sights & Sounds of Hellgate: London) is half-ass at best. He just pasted together two pages of familiar concept art, using clunky cropping. My sister made better collages cutting pictures from YM and Seventeen with scissors and glue.

That and he embeds a song on each page.

Thnx, next time I will try not to write much so I don't make so many mistakes ;) .

I seriously cannot wait much longer for this game. I love the hack-and-slash RPGs these guys made for Blizzard. They ARE Diablo; to be called "Diablo-killer" is to say they'll kill themselves... and nobody wants that!

Get a gaming PC and have Vista. That's what MS wants you to do. Poor gamers won't have all the fun.

If this game can deliver on the single player promises, I still think it'll be a lot of fun.
