HanbitSoft Undecided On Hellgate Subscription Model

HanbitSoft has told IncGamers that it has not yet decided the pricing model Hellgate will have when it makes a return to the west, as announced yesterday.

This opens up the possibility that gamers will see a free to play version, and maybe an option to subscribe as before.

I'm following this with great interest as I really liked the original Hellgate, even though it was a bit buggy and repetitive.

Cogo5208d ago

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I won't play until I know for sure it IS free, and not as buggy as before...

AndyA5208d ago

The bugginess is the issue. They can't charge for the game until it gets an overhaul.

Maticus5208d ago

I'm wondering what the lifetime subscribers will get, if anything.

Malfurion5208d ago

I really enjoyed the original. Still play with the offline game from time to time.

Cogo5208d ago

Really? Even unpatched?

Leord5208d ago

There was a couple of patches released. Google them...

Cogo5208d ago

Not that I will play it again before I KNOW it's less buggy, but cheers! :)

Redrudy5208d ago

I was very surprised to see this make it back into the west. Did anyone else see that happening?

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.

Lon3wolf2269d ago

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

ThatDudeMunkee2269d 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.

sampsonon2269d ago

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

Mulando2270d ago

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

ThatDudeMunkee2269d 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.

bluefox7552270d ago

I enjoyed it. Felt like it was underrated.

sampsonon2269d 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!!

amcka302270d ago

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

irishyort2270d ago

Never heard of it. What a shame :(

ThatDudeMunkee2269d 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).

sampsonon2269d ago

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

ThatDudeMunkee2269d ago

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