Ok, I don't know if anyone else knows about this but the creators of Diablo formed their own development company called Flagship and they are currently creating a game called Hellgate: London. Here is a link to the Gamespot page, although I'm sure you can find it at IGN or somewhere else too.

It is an RPG told from the FPS perspective, although, it is more RPG than FPS. It takes place 25 yrs in the future and 5 yrs after a Hellgate opens over London and there is a demon apocalypse. The weapons are very unconventional and are fully upgradeable. If you attach a special part to the gun in the inventory page, you will see that part functioning on the gun, in real time, in the game (did I mention, they also have swords?). Everything about this game looks simply amazing and I expect nothing less from the Diablo pioneers. I will definitely have my eye on this one, hope you all will too.

Hmm, looks a lot like what the Deus Ex series and Pariah have been toying with. Have you played Deus Ex Xtreem?

I played the first level of the the first part and just gave up. I thought it was pretty crappy despite the good reviews of it. The whole stealth FPS just pissed me off cuz it was so hard that I just got frustrated and did something else; never went back to it. Granted, I never got far into the game, I didn't really like it.
