Removed the statements following the 7th citation; Guild Wars and Diablo are both instanced, and it is very difficult to say what the "first instanced game that charges a monthly fee" is.

'''Hellgate: London''' is a [[computer game]] under development by [[Flagship Studios]]. The direction of the game is similar in spirit in a number of ways to the ''[[Diablo (computer game)|Diablo]]'' series, due to the co-founders of this video game developer. These are ex-Blizzard employees, including ''Diablo'' series creators Erich Schaefer and former [[Blizzard North]] President David Brevik. The other founders are Erich's brother Max Schaefer, former Blizzard North Vice President [[Bill Roper (programmer)|Bill Roper]], and ''[[Diablo II]]'' producer Kenneth Williams. [http://www.flagshipstudios.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=18&Itemid=45]
 
:''For other uses, see [[Appleseed]].''
''Hellgate: London'' is a [[First-person shooter|FPS]]/[[Computer role-playing game|RPG]] combination in a [[post-apocalyptic]] setting, and as such features a number of elements related to the ''Diablo'' series. The game is played in both first and third person perspectives, and the gameplay is based heavily on the character's stats, as per role-playing games, as opposed to the player's personal skill in a first-person shooter. Some weapons do require aiming, but most do not.
{{nihongo|'''''Appleseed'''''|アップルシ-ド|Appurushīdo}} is an [[anime]] film, directed by [[Shinji Aramaki]] and originally released in [[Japan]] on [[May 17]], [[2004]]. It is based on the characters created by [[Masamune Shirow]] in the original ''[[Appleseed (manga)|Appleseed]]'' manga series that was published in [[1985]]. Although it shares some characters with the original series, this film's storyline is not connected to it.
 
== Plot outline ==
The game, like its spiritual predecessor ''Diablo'', builds heavily upon the core design of classical [[Roguelike]]s and the game design philosophy of the utility of random generation, which allows for a high degree of replayability and countless unique gameplay experiences.
Set in 2131 AD, Deunan Knute, a young legendary female soldier is a survivor of the Third World War which has brought Earth to the brink of destruction. Alongside her former lover and comrade Briareos, who is now a cyborg, Deunan is brought to a Utopian city called Olympus, also inhabited by a genetically-engineered species called Bioroids. There, she integrates into the prestigious ESWAT organization to serve as the city's guardian. But what she discovers is not the promised land of peace, but rather a deadlier, more elusive battlefield than before.
 
Bioroids have a lifespan much shorter than those of humans, due to the suppression of their reproductive capabilities. When the facilities that were used in the Bioroid's life extension processes are destroyed by a secret faction of the Olympus Regular Army in a terrorist attack as part of its demonstration of fear and hatred for the Bioroids, a crisis which requires immediate resolution is formed, and the Appleseed data is revealed to still exist, even though most thought it destroyed.
A comic book adaptation of Hellgate: London has also been released. Spanning a series of four issues, it is written by [[Ian Edginton]], illustrated by [[Steve Pugh]], and published by [[Dark Horse Comics]].
 
Under the surface, as we can see, Olympus is plagued by conflicting factions. Some believe that Bioroids are a threat to the future advancement of mankind, whilst others believe that humans themselves are the threat. The ultimate question is over everyone's right to life, and whether or not one group deserves life more than the other. At the centre of this battle is Appleseed, the data that is able to extend Bioroid life, by restoring reproductive functions.
==Pricing==
During [[Consumer Electronics Show|CES 2007]], it was announced that the game will support a single player mode as well as some form of free online gaming, but also a paid online mode, where it is still to be decided exactly which method of payment that will be used. [http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/45306] Bill Roper, founder and CEO of Flagship Studios, confirmed this in later interviews.[http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=12475][http://www.gamespot.com/news/6164306.html]
 
== Characters ==
It should be noted that Hellgate London was initially discussed as being extremely similar to both Diablo and [[Guild Wars]], another of Diablo's spiritual descendants. This was especially thought to be true of the expansion based pricing model that involved no monthly fees. When Flagship hinted at monthly fees in January, 2007, many fans expressed their shock and discontent,[http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?comments=45282] with some who planned to pre-order the game claiming they would no longer purchase it at all. [http://www.hellgateguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2868]
 
===Deunan Knute===
Finally, this pricing decision moves the game into more direct competition with the almost insurmountably popular [[World of Warcraft]], which dominates the monthly fee MMORPG genre.
 
The daughter of Carl and Dr. Gilliam Knute, Deunan, who is considered as a beautiful and highly skilled warrior, has spent almost her entire life fighting in a war that was, for the most part, over. It was not until she was rescued by an ES.W.A.T. (Extra Special Weapons And Tactics) team, led by Hitomi and her former lover Briareos, in the middle of a ruined city just after Deunan had a short but fierce battle with unidentified enemies, that she was finally evacuated from the Badlands. When she arrived in Olympus, the change of environment was severe, but it was a greater shock to her when she found that Briareos had lost over 75% of his original body during the last Global War and was now a cyborg.
==Setting==
[[Image:hellgatelondonscreen1.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Combat against a flying demon.]]
Hellgate: London takes place in 2038, 18 years after start of the war. [[London]] has been invaded by demons from Hell. These particular hellions are a tireless lot, and have been looking for a way into our universe for a long time. Up until recently, humans have had many champions looking to hold back the flood. Various real-world events are referenced in the background of the Hellgate story as averted crossover attempts. The [[Crusades]] were actually undertaken to fight back the minions of Hell, as was the charring of London in the great fire to wipe out the Plague. According to the fiction, the famous [[Knights Templar]] were the keepers of knowledge on how to battle these demonic forces. Unfortunately, these heroes underwent a charring of their own at the hands of a jealous [[Philip IV of France|King Phillip IV]], who hated the power they held in the world at large. While the Knights Templar survived as an organization, their numbers were severely diminished and were forced to remain in hiding to stay alive.
 
The day after she was brought to the city of Olympus, Deunan learned that over half of the population of the city was composed of artificial humans called Bioroids and that her new friend, Hitomi, was one herself. Deunan also discovers that other people are looking for her, mostly because she possesses, without knowing it, the secret of "Appleseed". That interest will become extremely important when Hitomi's life will be at risk and the "Appleseed Data" will be needed to save her and the entire Bioroid population of Olympus. But the discovery of the "Appleseed Data" could condemn the human population to extinction without Deunan knowing about this detail. But that would mean defying the powerful Olympus Regular Army (O.R.A.), composed entirely of humans and under the command of General Edward Uranus III and Colonel Hades.
As time passed and technology progressed, the old ways began to fade from memory and the secrets of the arcane were lost. When the demons attacked again, they found their enemies unprepared. Ordinary weapons were no use against the demons, who could shrug off a RPG round. The Templars offered their special services to the military, but the leaders balked, refusing to believe in the new truths. Hell quickly took the victory in the battle for Earth. The Burn, a decades-long process of "hellaforming" or turning our world into theirs, has begun.
 
{{anime voices|Ai Kobayashi|Amanda Winn Lee}}
However all is not lost, as various groups have been preparing for just such an eventuality. [[Freemasons]] built the [[London Underground]] to be demon resistant, and as such the stations now act as bases, "safe zones" for would-be defenders. These defenders are armed with a fusion of modern weaponry and [[magic (gaming)|arcane magic]] such as flamethrowers that throw [[Greek fire]]. In the game, you play one of these defenders.
 
===Briareos Hecatonchires===
==Gameplay==
''Hellgate: London'' combines the depth of role-playing games with the action of first-person titles, while attempting to offer high replayability and an individualized gaming experience through dynamically created levels, monsters, items, and events. Players create a hero and then battle, with or without other players, through innumerable hordes of demons while completing quests and advancing through experience levels and branching skill paths. The developers have revealed the game will employ an advanced skill and spell system. It will also be highly item based, with customizable and randomly generated items for replayability and unique characters. Multiplayer will concentrate mostly on cooperative play.
 
At one time, Briareos was Deunan Knute's lover, as well as a comrade-in-arms in battle. During two years of hard separation for both of them, he was severely injured on the North African front. When Hitomi and the Elders saved him, he had over seventy-five percent of his body replaced by state-of-the-art mechanical components, making him a highly advanced cyborg. During Deunan's stay in Olympus he is assigned by his ES.W.A.T. superiors to protect her and also begins to search for the "Appleseed Data." In the original story, Briareos was a black man who lived in the mediterranean who served under Colonel Carl Knute, Deunan's father. In the original manga, Briareos and Deunan are not separated, and she is well aware of his cyborg body replacement.
The game will play in a single unified world, where players can meet and organize for team play and quests in ''safe zones''. The world will not be split in "shards" or servers, but rather play like a [[MMOG]] with heavy instancing, such as ''[[Guild Wars]]''. The game doesn't exclude solo gaming, and this will be possible as well if the player choose so. Difficulty will be balanced much like it is in ''Diablo II'', where the opposition grows stronger as more players play in the instanced areas.
 
{{anime voices|Jūrōta Kosugi|Jamieson Price}}
While it has been stated on the PC Gamer magazine that Hellgate: London will support [[Windows Vista]] and [[DirectX 10]], Flagship Studios has made repeated statements that the game will run perfectly well on [[Windows XP]] and [[DirectX 9]] based systems. The game is said to be capable of running just as easily on computers as old as 5 or 6 years with some of the settings turned down.
 
==Factions=Athena and ClassesAreios===
There are three factions, or archetypes that have been defined so far. The first is a melee-combat oriented faction referred to as the "Templar". Characters belonging to this faction are a combination of both the "Paladin" and "Barbarian" character types in Diablo 2. The second is the "Cabalist", similar to the "Necromancer" and, to a lesser extent, the "Druid" character types in Diablo 2. The third is the "Hunter", similar to the "Amazon" character in Diablo 2, which is played similarly to an [[FPS]] game, without auto aiming and with powerful ranged weaponry.
 
Prime Minister of Olympus, Athena Areios is a first-generation Bioroid created by Deunan's mother, Dr. Gilliam Knute, and served as her lab assistant until Dr. Knute's death. Because Athena is a first-generation Bioroid, she doesn't have the emotional limitations the second-generation has, so she has greater latitude to use "extraordinary" methods to try to find Deunan. Of course, she also runs the risk that either the Council of Elders or General Uranus would find out and take action against her, so she, along with her chief-of staff Nike, have to be very careful.
Each faction includes distinct character classes. Both the faction and class are selected when a character is created. The Templar faction includes two classes, the Blademaster, a offensive based class, and the Guardian, a defensive class. It was announced in the April 2007 issue of PC Gamer that the two classes for the Cabalist faction will be the Evoker, a ranged spellcaster with mystical "Focus" items instead of guns, and the Summoner, which focuses on summoning several major and minor "pets" and improving said pets. Also, the Hunter Faction classes will be the Marksman, a ranged fighter similar to the evoker (but with guns instead of Focus items), and the Engineer, which focuses on the construction and upgrading of droids and other devices.
 
{{anime voices|Mami Koyama|Mary Elizabeth McGlynn}}
==Areas==
As a defender, you move from one safe zone to the next. The journey between zones will be randomly generated, as in ''Diablo'', but unlike ''Diablo'' the levels will be fully [[3D computer graphics|3D]]. Randomly generating convincing 3D levels is technically fairly difficult; it was attempted in ''[[Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix]]'' to mixed critical response.
 
===Nike===
The game is believed to feature London areas and buildings of interest, and indeed [[St Paul's Cathedral]] was featured in an early concept art drawing, hinting further at this. Another building that has been brought up in an interview is [[Clock Tower, Palace of Westminster|Big Ben]]. However, the developers are still keeping these details, and which role such buildings may play in the game, mostly for themselves and a surprise for the gamers.
 
Nike is Athena Areios's chief-of-staff, as well as being commander-in-chief of ES.W.A.T. Although she is a second-generation Bioroid, and being such having her emotions controlled, she is fiercely loyal to Athena, not to mention the Bioroids' prime purpose: the salvation of humanity.
The game has been revealed to consist of five acts to unify the areas a player travel through on a greater scale. This act system is also used in other games of the [[action-RPG]] genre, not to mention the five acts of Diablo II.
 
{{anime voices|Miho Yamada|Mimi Woods}}
The safe zones scattered across the world will act like safe havens to purchase and upgrade items at NPC merchants, interact with other people in the game world, and gather and complete quests.
 
==Quests=Hitomi===
The game will offer three different quest classes:
*'''Storyline''' - Special "scripted" quests following the storyline tightly and moving it forward. Key quests will be shared here, but the journey between those quests is different for each player.
*'''Class-specific''' - Quests designed for specific character classes. May require that a player has a sufficiently high enough reputation before they're revealed. These quests are likely to be rewarding, due to the effort one has to put in to get enough reputation before starting them.
*'''Task''' - Generic quests believed to have more random objectives, given by NPCs out in the game world. Completing these quests increases one's reputation to unlock class-specific quests, as well as revealing new items and giving experience for new levels.
 
A second-generation Bioroid, Hitomi is charged with recruiting new members of ES.W.A.T.. She had led the rescue mission of Deunan Knute in the Badlands, as well as aiding her getting settled in Olympus. Although her emotions are regulated, she has interest in the emotion of love, and is disturbed by hate, as expressed by the human soldiers of the O.R.A, especially towards the Bioroids.
==Combat==
''Hellgate: London'' can be played in a [[first person]] perspective for guns and a [[third person]] perspective for both guns and mêlée weapons. Third person perspective is usually regarded as better for mêlée combat, where wider peripheral vision is more important than precise, long-distance aiming.
 
{{anime voices|Yuki Matsuoka|Karen Strassman}}
==Items==
 
===Yoshitsune Miyamoto===
''Hellgate: London'' will heavily use a randomized item system of at least a hundred base items, with a pool of random special properties applied to them to achieve replayability and promote item collection. As in ''Diablo'', the items will have a prefix and suffix.
 
Also a second-generation Bioroid, Yoshitsuni Miyamoto... or "Yoshi" as he is referred to, is ES.W.A.T.'s chief mechanic and Land Strider designer. He also would like to further examine Briareos' cybernetic armor more closely, if Briareos would allow it. His knowledge of mechanical workings would become useful later in the film. Yoshi seems to care for Hitomi.
===Weapons===
The weapons will base their power on character stats more than a player's aiming skills, being more of an RPG than an FPS in this regard. For example, a player can place points in an Accuracy statistic that determines the randomness of the rounds they fire. Therefore, the weapons will function more like spell delivery devices than common weapons, and they will be designed to usually deliver [[splash damage]], use homing projectiles, or be auto-targeting within reasonable limits.
 
{{anime voices|Toshiyuki Morikawa|Dave Wittenberg}}
Besides the behavior, the weapons, close and ranged combat alike, can do several different kinds of damage:
*'''Physical''' - Can cause enemies to get knocked down.
*'''Fire''' - Can set targets on fire.
*'''Spectral''' - Pierces armor.
*'''Toxic''' - Poisons the targets, making them suffer negative effects over time.
*'''Electrical''' - Can stun a target.
 
===Edward Uranus III===
The weapons system also borrows from ''Diablo'', with a number of base weapon types that can be upgraded with different types of fuel, batteries, or ammunition to increase damage. Weapons can also be [[Akimbo (gaming)|dual wielded]], with combinations such as a [[mêlée weapon]] in one hand and a pistol in another. Analogous to the over a hundred ''Diablo II'' base items, ''Hellgate: London'' will come with over a hundred weapons.
 
Supreme commander of the O.R.A., General Edward Uranus III has a great distrust of the Bioroids, and wishes to either control them or totally eliminate them. But unlike his subordinate Hades, he is not given to irrationality. A friend of the Knute family, Uranus deeply regrets the death of Dr. Gilliam Knute and wants to persuade Deunan to help him in his quest.
===Mods===
The items may have slots that a player can insert "mods" in to enhance their power. Mods can be technology that improves items, but also demonic artifacts and holy items, currently known as relics. Technology mods are more aimed at specific weaponry or armor upgrades, whilst relics are more general in what bonuses they give, such as giving fire damage enhancements regardless of the wielded weapon. It is also believed that game characters may have their own physical slots for similar purposes, and that mods will be removable, unlike in ''Diablo''. Some types are listed below:
 
However, when General Uranus was made aware about about the Council of Elder's plans to replace humans with Bioroids, then sterilize the humans using the "D-tank", he voluntarily surrendered, rather than be used as a pawn in the Council's plans.
* '''Ammo Clips''' - Modify the amount, type, range, or accuracy of weapons. Clips can be magical or technological in nature.
 
{{anime voices|Yuzuru Fujimoto|Michael McConnohie}}
* '''Battery Packs''' - Battery packs charge weapons with different types of damage, such as ice, fire, or physical.
 
===Hades===
* '''Fuel Tanks''' - Convey different damage types onto weapons.
 
Colonel Hades is Gen. Uranus's subordinate. Like Uranus, he has a great distrust of the Bioroids. However, his distrust has evolved into an irrational, all-consuming hatred, and wishes to see the Bioroids destroyed.
* '''Relics''' - Often considered holy, relics may be part of a greater item or an item previously owned by someone of great ability.
 
Originally, Hades served under Carl Knute, Deunan's father, in Los Angeles' S.W.A.T., but was thrown out by Carl because of his extreme methods. He held a grudge with Carl, and is furious that Carl's D.N.A. is in all the Bioroids.
* '''Rockets''' - Like ammo clips rockets change the type of ammo a weapon uses while adding an explosive element.
 
In the end, he is killed by Deuan's pistol, which was her father's.
==Skills==
Little is known about the skill system, but it has been revealed that it will be possible to find character skills much like regular items, and like the items in ''Hellgate: London'', they will have various levels of rarity as well, with some skills harder to acquire than others. There are also attempts at making skills random to achieve increased replayability and character build variety, causing a character's abilities be more individual and not simply one of a limited range of common archetypes. The skills will be designed so that the skills one gains early on are not necessarily worse than skills one may find later in the game, as long as the player focuses in the skill by putting points in its related attributes.
 
{{anime voices|Takehito Koyasu|Jack Aubree}}
A few examples of revealed Templar skills are: ''Grudge'', ''Focused Rage'', ''Grand Aura'', ''Aura of Renewal'', ''Physical/Fire/Electric/Toxic Aura'', and ''Armor Boost''. These skills involve both aggressive and defensive "aura" skills, which should clearly remind Diablo II veterans of the Paladin class.
 
===Kudoh===
Examples of Cabalist skills may include: '''Evoker Skills:''' ''Swarm'', ''Arc Legion'', ''Tempest''. '''Summoner Skills:''' ''Summon Ember'', ''Enrage'', ''Dominate''.
Kudoh is one of the top members of ES.W.A.T. He participates in some training sessions with Deunan and eventually earns her respect. When she and Briareos head to Dr. Gilliam Knute's old lab, Kudoh comes along. After they are betrayed by a fellow ES.W.A.T. member who is sympathetic towards the O.R.A., Kudoh stays behind, keeping his gun trained on Hades so that Deunan and Briareos can escape.
 
Shortly after this, Kudoh is gunned down by numerous O.R.A. soldiers and collapses dead against the wall of a hallway. Deunan expresses great distress over his death, but Briareos drags her away reluctantly, the O.R.A. hot on their trail.
Examples of Hunter Skills may include: '''Marksman Skills:''' ''Pinpoint'', ''Rapid Fire'', ''Tactical Stance''. '''Engineer Skills:''' ''Construct Drone'', ''Drone Attachment/Encasement'', ''Rocket Bots''.
 
{{anime voices|Tadahisa Saizen|Jack Aubree}}
==Monsters==
There are a number of monster classes, the most common one by far being demons, although zombies have also been seen in released media. The monsters belong to one of these classes:
*'''Necros''' - The creators of undead and masters of necromatic powers.
**''Examples:'' Flesh Eater, Grotesque
*'''Beasts''' - The least cunning demons with the most animal-like behavior.
**''Examples:'' Carnagor, Stalker
*'''Spectrals''' - Mysterious ghost-like beings only partially existing in our world.
**''Example:'' Orbile
*'''Primus''' - The intelligent and fearsome dukes of hell, often more organised then most other demons. Able to build and use custom equipment.
**''Example:'' Shulgoth
 
===Dr. Gilliam Knute===
==Recent==
In the April 2007 edition of PC Gamer, the disc included an intro video to Hellgate: London. The sequence shows some astounding graphics and an intense battle but unfortunately, no gameplay. The video did, however, give a good look at some of the potential monsters that will be in the game. It also introduced the story's main character and explains why she is fighting.
 
Dr. Gilliam Knute was the scientist that created the Bioroids, as well as the "D-tank" virus, which is capable to redering normal humans sterile. It was during the creation of the first generation that she realized that the Council of Elders wanted to use the Bioroids to replace normal humanity altogether. Therefore, she arranged that the Bioroids would not be able to reproduce but kept the formula to activate their reproductive systems - codenamed "Appleseed" - in a pendant, which after she had her assistant Athena evacuated, she had given to her young daughter Deunan, with the promise to give it to Athena if she asked. Dr. Knute was later captured by the military - and mistakenly killed by a soldier in front of Deunan.
