HellGate, Elder Scrolls Hands-On
Hellgate: London and The Elder Scrolls IV are two hotly anticipated roleplaying titles coming at us in the upcoming year. Hands-On examinations of Hellgate are available at Gamespot, 1up.com and IGN. The Elder Scrolls is examined at Gamespot and IGN. From the 1up article: "'Since we're building an RPG, even though it's primarily played from the first-person perspective, we don't want it to be a twitch-fest,' he says. 'We're doing things that have soft-targeting, or area effects, or auto-locking, to make it where your success in the game isn't determined on your physical reflexes, or the dexterity of a fourteen year old. It's all about building up a character: your level, your stats, your skills, your equipment, your items -- it's the classic RPG in that sense.'"
If only they would make this game multiplayer... I loved Morrowind, but if you could work together to accomplish things (or even work separately, just on the same map) this game would have even more appeal. I don't want an MMORPG, I'm thinking like a 2-player or 3-player mode.
Windows isn't the answer... it's the question. NO is the answer!
As a long-time PC gamer, I've resisted consoles. I played Morrowind for countless hours on my PC, and even though this will be available for PC, it might be *the* title that gets me to buy a console (albeit an Xbox 360), if just so I can sit on the couch and play on my HD projector, rather than cooped up in my home office.
