There was once a little brand called Hellgate London and they had a nice little spin off project called Mythos. Mythos was fun and inventive, very Torchlight-like but with multiplayer. Hellgate however, was a very hefty system for the developer to create and process and ended up dying due to a lot of bugs and a lot of online issues. So much so, that HanbitSoft the publisher put the developer Flagship Studios out of business. Neither game has seen anything approaching the light of day for quite a while. Now they are BOTH back? What? Mythos as what looks like a Torchlight rip off with multiplayer. I wonder if they will beat the Torchlight MMORPG? Also, Hellgate Tokyo was just announced that seems like a rather poor choice considering the original brand was such a disaster and it was only a couple of years ago. All from HanbitSoft, the company that couldn't hack the online part of either of these games to such a degree that they had to close both of the old games. Perhaps someone should be watching the purse strings of this company considering how absolutely crazy this whole mess seems to be.
The Hellgate Tokyo trailer looks a little too much like the original game, hopefully this is just a pre-alpha look.
