On Jan. 9th, 2008 (South Korea Time, the same hereinafter), HandbitSoft released several latest screenshots for Hellgate: London which is scheduled to go into open beta in South Korea on Jan. 15th, 2008.

These scrennshots were taken on a computer running Windows Vista, DirectX 10 and NVIDIA GeForce 8800 graphics card. As a result, they look just so realistic with better light effect and sense of distance.

"The graphics effect is totally different when playing with DirectX 10 than DirectX 9. But though Hellgate: London has best graphics with DirectX 10, open beta testers can still enjoy Hellgate: London on a computer with normal specificaitons." HanbitSoft says.

Bill Roper, CEO of Hellgate: London developer Flagship Studios says, "We would like to thank NVIDIA. Due to their technology, Hellgate: London players have the chance to see these screenshots with the best graphics effect."

"With the joint efforts of Flagship Studio and NVIDIA, these wonderful Hellgate: London screenshots are out. Hope players will give support to GeForce 8800." NVIDIA says.

HandbitSoft plans to hold a celebration ceremony for Hellgate: London open beta on Jan. 11th, 2008. A pre-open beta will be conducted on Jan. 12th to 13th, 2008 and the open beta testing is expected to start on Jan. 15th, 2008.

Windows Vista, DirectX 10 and NVIDIA GeForce 8800 graphics card seem to be the new standards in graphics for games.
