Nach der ersten Ladung Informationen von der CES (wir berichteten) geht es jetzt weiter. Zum einen haben die Kollegen von IGN.com auch einen ersten Artikel zur diesjährigen CES-Präsentation von Hellgate: London veröffentlicht, den wir euch nicht vorenthalten wollen. Wie schon die Damen und Herren von Gamespot konnten auch sie eine erste Mission anspielen, und so das Gameplay testen:

Classes still have not been added to the game, but there were a bunch of new enemies and skills. The mission we were dropped into required us to find some poor kid's missing leg (don't worry, he has a prosthetic peg to tide him over). Finding the limb was merely a matter of blasting every moving thing in the streets to bits. Eventually we came upon an enormous, bulbous, globular beast, and once we put it to rest we found the leg in the remains.

After returning the appendage to its rightful owner, we were sent on a courier mission to deliver a box to another part of the city. Of course, there was lots to kill along the way. As we traveled through the sewers, sword-carrying monsters that looked like skinless velociraptors (with horns) would slink out from around corners and charge us. Later, we came upon these slimy, Jabba the Hut-like grubs that would erupt when defeated, sending smaller scavengers out from their carcass seeking revenge. The Electronic Arts rep who was giving us our demo confessed he hadn't even seen these creatures before. Apparently the folks at developer Flagship Studios are cramming new monsters into the game on an almost daily basis.

Zum anderen sind die Kollegen von GameVideos.com mit einem neuen Gameplay Video frisch von der Messe am Start. Ihr findet es, zusammen mit erstgenanntem Artikel, unten verlinkt.
