EA To Publish Hellgate London
The long-awaited release of Hellgate London, from Flagship Studios, will be handled by Electronic Arts. The Escapist newsroom reports that EA will do sales, marketing, and distribution of the game, while Namco Bandai will handle toys, novels, comics, etc. From the article: "Future games in the series were not listed as part of the deal, despite Namco's tradition of partnering with EA for publishing software in Europe. In Asia, Flagship Studios inked deals with South Korean publisher and developer HanbitSoft to handle distribution and San Jose developer Online Game Services Inc. to assist in maintaining the online world." Future games? How about they release the first one before we start talking about sequels.
It will be released far too early. It will be very buggy, it won't really resemble what the creator intended, and it will have far too many sequels.
This sig isn't original enough, it's time to come up with something witty...
this is kinda the same with God Of War, they where talking about GoW2 before the first was released, guess they think the game will do SOO well that they can make even more money off the game
Nooooo!... (and such, you know the joke)
Whether or not there is some sort of god, I'm not supposed to say/god is a word and the argument ends there-Smog
