    Does anyone have anymore information on the chinese hacker? Was this rumor true or false? All of the articles I've read are still uncertain. I hope it doesn't affect the game...

    Please give more info!!! Thanks!

    Okay...so how does hacking this help people?

    BTW, why do you want to know? Something that you want to hack yourself? :)

    Isn't that the game made by the diablo creators?

    The one where you fight in areas of London that are made by the engine when you come up from the sewers? Yet look as good as new games?

    Yea, the original creators of Diablo and Diablo II, aka Blizzard North, left and made their own company.

    Hellgate: London is their first game.

    I thought so.

    If that is the game I was thinking of, then yes, it would be on a hackers list. It's one of the biggest pc games to be coming out soon. The spritual sequel to Diablo? it's gonna be as big as Fallout 3.

    Man, hacking unrealeased games just creates problems for the devs and makes everyone have to wait longer for the game (like with HL2)

    its going to be f*cking awesome. apparently the source code was hacked at an EXTREMELY early alpha-stage so the code was apparently rendered useless. this game will be great .. GJ BLIZZ NORTH, AND F*CK BLIZZ and your dumb money guzzling crap. they ruined the best game series EVER. diablo, starcraft... oh god the memories.. go flagship!! too bad they cant buy the rights to diablo.. whatever...

    flagship has still got it right...

    when is bethesda going to announce fallout 3? man if they pull it off right i think a video game will actually cause me to orgasm. the storyline in the fallout series is so mind bogglingly amazing it makes me drool when i think of the countless hours i spent playing that series. PLUS with bethesdas success with oblivion. they will HAVE to be succesful with fallout 3.
    the future looks bright for pc gaming. huzzah!

    the game is very similar t doom graphic wise in my opinion. except it has MUCH better graphics AND randomized maps, objects, object stats, etc... like diablo... so its going to have that ENDLESS multiplayer experience taht all diablo fans LOVED. check out the website and see for yourself. watch the vids. youll like it... hellgatelondon.com i tihkn

    I dunno...it doesn't look quite as customizable as Diablo was...
    I hope there is a slew of items and some sort of gameplay customization that sets you apart (considering there are only 2 classes to choose from). I'm afraid the game will get old if there isn't just a plethora of things to do, and how to play the game (.i.e. skills, talents, etc.). We will see...I have faith.
