So I was reminiscing about past games I've played and I thought about Hellgate London and how that game had some good hype for the day but ended up with a flop. Much like Too Human...
However I thought I'd look up some information really quick to jog my memory and realized how similar the game is to Destiny.
Hellgate London had 3 classes to choose from, each with 2 sub-classes:
[b]Templars[/b]
- Guardians
- Blademasters
[b]Cabalists[/b]
- Summoners
- Evokers
[b]Hunters[/b]
- Marksmen
- Engineers
Destiny has 3 classes to choose from, each with 2 sub-classes:
[b]Titans[/b]
- Striker
- Defender
[b]Warlocks[/b]
- Voidwalker
- Sunsinger
[b]Hunters[/b]
- Gunslinger
- Bladedancer
In each game, all weapons basically had the same type of stats and the equipment pieces had their defense and strength stats.
Weapons in Hellgate also had 5 different types of damage, where in Destiny you've only got 4 (Arc, Solar, Void, Kinetic)
However it looked like Hellgate London had a better environment system as all the zones were randomly generated.
Also their armor was a bit similar to Destiny's. Especially the Templar to Titan looks.

After being reminded of this image, I wouldn't be surprised if the Titan gets a sword for their new sub-class for Solar Damage.
Then you've got the Hunters, which in my opinion look way more awesome.

And the Warlocks...ugh...I mean Cabalists, which really don't look similar.

Granted everything in Destiny is mostly a space adventure, so everyone has to have a helmet to breath, but I wonder if it was only an, on land game, if things would have been even more similar.
And of course they fight, Darkness! But what game doesn't these days?
I guess my point is...it's just pretty similar and it's too bad we don't see more original things. I guess I'm just getting older and nothing is shocking me anymore. But companies don't care about the older generation, they want those kiddies to get hooked.
Meh...
Also, here's a trailer for Hellgate London, it was pretty awesome, done by Blur who also did some of the Halo cinematics.
