Framerate looks really solid. It's hard to assign a number given the source, but it definitely looks better than 30fps.

video is in 30fps though.

 

[Mendrox]

isn't the youtube video in 30fps?

Yes lol.

 

[bbd23]

why isn't this releasing at midnight on steam?

Here's some Xbox one gameplay

If this is what I'm getting on PC, I'll be content.

I am having a hard time believing in the 720p part of the rumor. 30fps, yeah I can buy that. It's just a youtube video, but I'm not seeing the shitload of jaggies that comes with a 720p game. But who knows, this isn't the highest video quality in the world and I don't have any way to test.

 

[antennaehead]

Alright, I'm hyped enough. Just unlock it to me already!

[greatnorthern]

Lolz

I didn't see any slowdown though, so that's good

I suppose I'm just hoping that the 720/30 gets shot down. Seems completely implausible.

 

[@Wreck]

Yes.

got it

thanks!

 

[RPGCrazied]

Looks really fun, and the reviews look good. I'm a big LOTR fan. While I could get the PS3 version next month, think I shall wait until I get my PS4 to play the game. Going to wait until Black Friday for that.

Only thing from the review I saw didn't saw how long the game was, and it looked very light on side quests.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Any way to unlock this early on PC through some VPN magic?

 

[OsirisBlack]

I doubt MS would let it be 720/30. They seem to be phoning up devs and making them fix it for high profile releases. I know this isn't the biggest launch of the year or anything but it seems to have gone up a lot, after the good reviews.

What if that is the best the machine can do? I don't get statements like this. There are limitations as to what you can do without lowering other things. I for one would rather have a stable framerate and no screen tearing than having them force something that will break the box.

 

[lmbotiva]

Its crazy but im most interested on the DF article than the game itself, have the game preordered on ps4 but waiting on framerate veredict to see if i keep it or switch it to PC

 

[Always-honest]

Isn't most of the footage we've seen PS4 footage?

ah sorry, haven't followed it

Any video review will be of the PS4 version.

Here's 2:

IGN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OOd1SrDDH0
Gametrailers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmf0THT0LV0

Than you. Will watch

You mean anything in addition the hours and hours of footage that is posted all over youtube?

haha, again, haven't followed it much. I've seen footage but i don't know what version.

Edit: Well, looks great on all platforms.

 

[El-Suave]

Depending on how I use the Umlaut in my last name, I have the choice of being:

Barash, the beast, Uruk of Mordor
or
Lughorn, the vicious, Uruk of Mordor

My copy is in the mail, should arrive tomorrow or the day after - really looking forward to playing this.

I know that. What I'm saying is that MS doesn't seem to want to take that for an answer. Many high profile releases so far that have been better on PS4 pre-release has caused MS to contact the devs to "help" them try and achieve parity.

Maybe through use of the XB1's unique architecture that the devs didn't really think about, or by telling them which things to scale downwards without really impacting visual quality.

 

[AppleMIX]

Wondering the same thing.

Hmm, looks pretty good. This appears to be the first footage of XB1. Please get to 900p 60fps... :-/

 

[Moff]

apparently the release of the game in australia is in october and someone mentioned earlier its even later in japan. so I guess no early unlock possible.

 

[Rizzi]

Heh. I'm Shagrat, the crusher - Uruk of Mordor
Orc names are fun.

 

[Facism]

is there more than the map i've been seeing in the videos? More areas is what i mean I might be getting mah ps4 this week and seeing as my pc cpu is below min spec i'm still hopefully picking this up

 

[Xando]

There are 2 open world areas and several small mission areas as far as i know.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

My orc name: Bagûrz, the snake - Uruk of Mordor


mmmm I prefer DJ Snake but this will do.

Ulkûrz, the Wicked- Uruk of Mordor!

 

[Kilau]

Listen up ShadowGAF, its orc name generator time! Let us bring to the light the true name of your inner darkness so that we may all wallow in our collective filth and depravity.
Middle Earth orc name generator.
Behold! You are in the presence of:
Sloiuga, the pointing claw - Uruk of Mordor

Ghashdurb, the foul-mouthed - Uruk of Mordor

Sadly a very accurate name for me.

 

[R_Deckard]

If 720/30 is true, wtf monolith. Major fucking fail on your part.

yeah its not, no way. Either 1080/30 or 900/60 on X1.

PS4 is 1080/60 100% (or "variable" ) cannot see another Fox Engine on our hands.

orc name = Bûzog, the vile - Uruk of Mordor

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Shagrat, the crusher - Uruk of Mordor

Flee before me humans!

Heh. I'm Shagrat, the crusher - Uruk of Mordor
Orc names are fun.

Woah woah woah

There can't be two Shagrat, the crusher.

You know what you must do.

Welp. No.

 

[SneakySneaks]

Ghashdurb, the foul-mouthed - Uruk of Mordor

Should have been mine too.

Glob, the slight hand - Uruk of Mordor

 

[Rizzi]

Woah woah woah

There can't be two Shagrat, the crusher.

You know what you must do.

Stab the impostor while he sleeps?

 

[CaptainTiptop]

My copy just shipped even though it's not due out until Friday here. Excited!

 

[Grief.exe]

I was so hyped to play this tomorrow, but then I read that it won't be out until friday over here in Europe. Gonna be an agonizing few days.

If you have the PC version, just use a VPN to unlock.

 

[N7Commander95]

Im Barash, the bloated - Uruk of Mordor

Fuck of, im trying to lose weight

 

[Dead Prince]

IDK how i want to approach the nemesis system. tempted to pick off the leader's minion one by one until i can send threats and just power lvl the leaders up or just kill the leaders off first lol. I want to keep a log of my game but let's be real. that's not going to happen ;P

Signed,

Ronkûrz, from the pit - Uruk of Mordor.

What region are you in? In Estonia (EU) steam is saying: 27h till release

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Sloiuga, the pointing claw - Uruk of Mordor

 

[Risgroo]

Garmog, the screamer - Uruk of Mordor

Sounds hot!

 

[Loxley]

It's funny how earlier in the thread (before the reviews started hitting) everyone was saddened by how little traction this thread was getting despite the game only being days from release. Since the reviews hit however, this thread hasn't lost steam and I can barely keep up with it.

Pretty cool.

 

[JoJo UK]

Lagûrz, the hobbled - Uruk of Mordor

I feel it is mocking an old rubgy injury...

 

[IvorB]

The whole nemesis / background AI stuff is typically something I would expect to be programmed for Cloud computing.

Wait... did you actually buy into the whole cloud thing?

Fantasy <> RPG.

Following that line of thought, if you make a strategy game in a fantasy setting, it isn't a strategy game but a rpg! If you make a graphic adventure of Lotr, it's a rpg??

Yeah I know this. I meant to say fantasy not RPG.

 

[leng jai]

Is Steam allowing pre-loading yet, and has GMG sent keys?

 

[JimPanzer]

why does it say 2 days 7 hours to unlock on my PS4? I bought it from the US PSN store.

Oh man that would be a fantastic feature for a sequel, having the game log your deeds like a story that you can share.

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

Akruzg the lazy, sounds like me.

 

[PriitV]

Steam is allowing pre-ordering, once you get your game you're good to go.

I think he is think along the same lines as the AI from Titanfall / drivtars from Forza 5 & Horizon 2. I think.

Dushatâr, spellweaver - Uruk of Mordor

I'll take it.
