Hellgate: London Tube Tour, Part Three

GameSpy continues its “Tube Tour” preview feature of the upcoming action RPG Hellgate: London. This third part of the video tour guides the player towards Templar Base, via a few fights.

On your way to Templar Base, you’ll pass through Barge House. Protected by an uncountable number of flying Demons, the wind blows fiercely here, amplifying the dark and freezing atmosphere. A fun and interesting fact here is that if you’re playing the game using a CPU with multiple cores, you’ll see significantly more snow and particle effects in levels like Barge House. While fun to look at in its own right, the intensified snow effects dramatically help shape the area’s mood and ambiance. This is not a place where you’ll want to be playing alone.

At last, Templar Base. Serene and tranquil, this underground sanctuary’s church-like aesthetics are a drastic change to any place you’ve yet visited. Stained glass windows and candlelight set the stage for this holy place, where hand-carved altars are typical, and heavenly light pours through the glasswork. The housed flora, as bare as they may seem, symbolize hope and life in a time and place overrun with death and despair. You’ve made it this far, my friend, but the fight is only just beginning.
