Where did you hear that? All they've said is that the beta will last longer than 10/7.

I believe it was on either the preorder box or the registration website. I'll doublecheck when I get home. It's possible I'm confusing it with something else, but I don't believe so.

Although I'm not saying I got an invite at all but if I did I would probably make some characters named Trouble, Liv and Midden.  They might be suffering from loneliness.  Maybe.  Who knows?  Not me.

Apparently I imagined it. I can find no mention of it ending on the 16th anywhere.

It's a good bet.  Hell, doesn't shit have to go gold like a week or more before release?

Doesn't mean the beta ends.  When was the last time you installed a game that you didn't have to immediately patch?

So, are those for the USA version or some azn version that wouldn't let people play w/ USA/EU people?  Somehow I see Singapore and I think scam even though it is mentioned here on the main site:

Too tired to bother w/ a in-depth search and fucking a most of the HG:L fansites are fugly as sin.


*added*  srsly I want the tiger one even more then I wanted the biohazard (fuck you bestbuy), somebody confirm for me that this isn't some kind of trick so I can buybuybuy!@!!

You can buy/ship to USA but it ends up costing $63 for the regular version, still worth it for "so sowy you tiger now" dye kit but I still want confirmation that that isn't a total scam.


*added*  Turns out there is a SEA set of servers, which is what that version would be for, which means it woulda sucked balls to buy it.  So I guess I'm back to Biohazard being the best looking dye.  BBuy says they know the game exists now, but since thery dont offer a direct download I'm sure I can't get into the beta any time soon.  I guess I'll preorder the game for pickup so that if I decide to take Thurs/Friday off I know I can actually play at launch instead of waiting around on my ass for the box to show up at my door.

I knew EA had a senior consultant for Evil policies.  They sent me this email 2 days after I registered my beta key :

FROM: betatest@hellgatelondon.com
SUBJECT: Hellgate: London Beta! Get in on the Action!

with this picture :


Of course it's just an add. They use the email from the registration process to send you an add about a preorder you've already made.  With the added bonus of giving you a short lived false hope of Beta goodness.

Check your email, people.  I think they may have sent some out about an hour ago.  The EB pre-order beta I bought for Righ turned up.

Any word on whether this will be downloadable via Steam or something?  And will I need a monster rig to run it?

Not Steam, but the man from EA, he say Yes.

Sweet.  Any predictions on whether my machine will be able to run it?  It was chugging a bit with Oblivion, and say 'oh hell no' to Bioshock (the video card refused to play nice, I think).  The gameplay videos didn't look all that graphically intense, though.

I was wondering this too.  I have an Athlon X2 3800 with a 7600GT and 2 gigs of ram.  I picked up the preorder box this weekend and registered, but have not received my beta code.  I think my video card is the weakest link, as the Bioshock demo made it cry.

developers have mentioned that the game is being designed to scale to most systems and there is NDA to back this up. also:

My subpar machine doesn't have many problems running this game at settings I don't find unbearable.  I can do without a lot of the shadows and other crap.

I really wish this game was on the 360, but it'll be doable for me on my PC.  Which is nice, considering most OMG SHINY does unnatural things to my PC.  I can post my specs later if anyone's curious.

I  can run Bioshock on about medium settings- sounds like I will be ok for HG:L? That bodes ill for my wallet and free time.
