Tags: Flagship Studios; Hellgate: LondonGamespot PC got Erich Schaefer of Flagship Studios to do an interview about them about their upcoming debut game, HellGate: London. Here, he discusses the game's multiplayer options.
GS: What can you tell us about your plans for multiplayer? Will multiplayer be mainly focused on individual server-based (or direct-IP-based) co-op play? Any plans for competitive modes?
ES: Hellgate: London will support many modes of single-player and online play. Most importantly, we will be providing a destination where players can congregate in large or small numbers within the world. Here, they will be able to group up for adventures, trade items, or just hang out and chat. Plans for competitive modes are just being discussed now, but our main emphasis will be on supporting cooperative adventuring.Hopefully, publisher Namco will be ready to provide a solid Battle.net style service or this game won't be worth much attention.
