My only complaint is the UK is not getting this game until the 3rd of October.
Shadow of Mordor deserves more attention. Come in and be hyped with me.

I hate spiders as well but after reading up on shelob and ungoliant I hope they put the lair of shelob in the game. Thanks for bringing shelob up guys, I had just read some lotr lore for like half n hour. I can't wait for mordor!
Who else do you think we are going to see in the game thats from the lore?
So far we have Galadriel ,Gollum,Saruon,Celebrimbor confirmed to appear in the game. Im sure I saw on one video walkthough they said there are more people in the game who haven't been shown announced yet which. Just to make some more hype for the game i thought we could talk about who we want to see and whos likely to appear !
A list of candidates I think that might have a chance are The Nazgul The Witch King and Khamul (maybe they can expand on the other seven who I dont belive have names), The Mouth of Sauron, Shelob, Shagrat Captain of Cirith Ungol. I could see Elrond appear in a flash back with Celebrimbor and Glaladriel. Maybe Narvi the Drawf in a flashback as well as he and Celebrimbor have a history !

Faramir makes sense, being the captain of the Ithilien rangers that Talion is part of. Maybe one of the Istari, with Gandalf or Saruman being the most recognisable to players.
Faramir wouldn't be born i think. it would make sense to see him though ! i think we could see the blue wizards maybe as it was said they went into the east !
I'm going to shit myself D:

I'm getting this because of Monolith; it looks cool with some cool systems underneath. Couldn't give a shit about the LOTR lore, the actual game looks interesting. The emergent stuff like enemy rivalries, that story stuff looks more fun than whatever plot there is right now.

60fps on PS4 still the word?

It's not launching in Norway until the 3rd either... but like with any other game, I'm buying it on the US PSN for about half the price, then playing it on my Norwegian account.
IIRC we're able to play it when it launches in the US. Worst case, you got the game a whole lot cheaper.
Seems to be the case, although it unfortunately seems that they have disabled v-sync to do so (lately all of the videos have shown screen tearing).
By GB do you mean £26?

I was able to play this at PAX and while I do not know the resolution, it was most certainly 60fps with no drops even while surrounded by +10 orcs.
I'm a giant idiot.
Really? The game is pretty ugly but that's impressive.
I gotta say, it's one of the most detailed games I've played. I don't know what voodoo magic they use but a steady 60fps on a pretty nice looking game is astonishing.

Can someone explain to me what this game entails? I'm interested but all I've seen is all just about the combat. I haven't really seen/heard anything about much else.
Did you notice any tearing while playing ?
Yes, there was some noticeable tearing while traversing the plains. Inside the keeps it was pretty tough to see since you're surrounded by the enemy but it wasn't as apparent.

My bad, I got the game's timeline wrong... so it's about fifty years before Fellowship of the Ring?
Ugly? I wouldn't say it's astonishing or anything, but I think it looks pretty great.
I don't really like the art style. It makes everything look muddy.
I actually think they've more than proven themselves with the Nemesis System. I mean, they've shown HOURS and HOURS of gameplay relating to the system, bringing a small little orc to a full-blown Warchief, setting betrayals in place, duels, gathering info, etc. They've clearly proud of the feature and confident in its inner-workings.

When I played it, it did kind of look muddy and grim but i think it's the style they wanted other then that the game was just a blast probably my favorite game i played for a short time at the fan expo
See, that's why I'm so confident in this game. Pretty much every person that plays it loves it.
I'm exactly the same, Messofanego.
The lore and universe are the parts I'm the least interested in. I'm really not much of a fantasy fan in general (Obsidian, Divinity and the Witchers game being the exceptions) but the systems look really fun to play around with and I'm a huge Monolith fan. I hope it's awesome!

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
not sure if screen tearing ign confirmed that there was no tearing when they had hands on demo with the game and the creators and it was because of the capture
Oh I didn't even think about that! Contemplating PS4 instead of PC now...
Gigabytes surely.

...that's the point.
perfect reply, majestic gif, best movie ever.
What I can't seem to find out though is if you can control an orc yourself, in those duels f.e.
Some of the orc models I've seen are so cool that I want to be able to play as them.
Seriously doubt that. Likely used a PC in the first video. They would want to show it in its best light, so they probably wouldn't have used Xbox One.
Ive been impressed with remote play for diablo 3 and plants vs zompies this week
I feel these will play well too
if only Blizzard made button assignment a little bit more flexible for remote play.
up until you get your 3rd active skill slot (SQUARE button) you're limited to only using your "X" attack - R2 being assigned to the back touchpad is the suckiest "button" to be using some channeling ability like ice-beam
(and yes, that's also the case in elective mode - even then the skill slots are locked to their respective buttons)
i don't get why they didn't choose to use the touchscreen corners for L2/R2 :/
