Flagship Studios's long awaited action-RPG is less than two months away from release. The first person oriented game has been previewed to death (and we should be able to go into more detail when we get our hands on the promised beta version) but Flagship's head Bill Roper still managed to surprise us with a couple of cool upcoming features. One was footage of a massive boss battle with a character that is 30 stories tall and looks like Godzilla with massive stone piledrivers for legs. You have to defeat the boss by leading it to fixed turrets that shrink the monster down to (almost) your size but then he fires fireballs and generates small minion creatures at you as well.
Roper also showed us a mini-game in Hellgate London that basically turns the first person action-RPG into a third person top down action-RTS title for one mission. You control AI teammates from up above to take out hords of enemies in a unique perspective that should please fans of tactical strategy games. There's no word on how many of these mini-games will be in the final version.
