Middle Earth: Shadow Of Mordor

New Lord of the Rings game. Couldn't find an existing thread, so yeah...

Pre Alpha Gameplay (looks decent imo):

Mixes a fair few things we've seen before, but might actually be good I think.

Supposed to be out this year.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

This game and the Witcher 3 look amazing. They seem semi-similar (hack and slash, open world, action RPG).

Basically, you play as a Ranger in middle earth who has the ability to traverse between the normal and wraith plane of existence. Going Wraith gives him certain supernatural abilities (like teleportation, or mind control)

quote:
PLOT
The game takes place between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings, as written by J.R.R. Tolkien. The family of ranger Talion is killed by Sauron's armies, and he himself is also killed, but soon revived with "wraith-like abilities" and heads to Mordor to exact his revenge. Mordor is not yet a barren wasteland in this story. The story involves the Rings of Power, but the story is separate to The Lord of the Rings canon. However, Warner Bros. maintains that the stories will align. The player will encounter Gollum in the game, discovering that Talion and Gollum have a lot in common.

The game also has a cool nemesis mechanic. If you make an enemy at one point in the game and they survive the encounter, they come back seeking vengeance on you later in the game (with higher rank, more followers, and all around harder to kill). In other words, leave no survivors!

Ha! My mistake. I spent like 10 minutes making that other thread. You made this 6 minutes before I finished.

Right? That nemesis system is ****ing awesome. That will make for some epic confrontations and mini-boss battles.

From a technical standpoint, the game looks great, though I am wary. I remember thinking the same thing when exposed to the hype of Borderlands.

How does everyone feel about edgifying Tolkien?

No doubt! The gameplay looks solid for sure I just hope the story is as good. Side note....I love the Ring Wraith abilities.

Assassin's Creed? That's ridiculous.
