OMGOMG! (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/50665)

Episodic RPG/Adventure thats a mix of Monkey Island and Diablo? I think my head just exploded.

Interesting news.

Though, my concern w/ any game that's episodic -- will the game actually have episodes banked out very frequently?

Valve are the masters of fucking that plan up...

Yes, well...good thing Valve isn't involved in this then.

Episodic I think can work well for adventures (Sam & Max)...and even Diablo style games could work (Each episode can add new tilesets and monsters, new loot, etc. Plus new story Acts). So I have high hopes.

I agree w/ that -- especially since adventures are often quite linear.

Hellgate: London could really use some new tilesets...
