The ubiquitous Bill Roper has popped up at eToychest for an interview (http://www.etoychest.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5629&Itemid=1) on Hellgate: London. The article has some good questions, although many of the answers are rather general. Here's a bit on the single-player game:
With all the hubbub surrounding the game's multiplayer, it seems as if the single player game has been lost in the shuffle. So if a player isn't interested in taking the game online, will there be enough content to make it worth his or her while?
Definitely! This has always been a key part of our design. We know that not everyone has the ability or desire to play with others or online. Just as with the Diablo series, we’ve created a complete single player experience whose longevity of game play benefits from all of the randomization, rarity and customization you’d expect from us.
There will easily be enough game play and - most importantly – replayability there for those who are most interested in the single-player experience.
