This looks wonderful.

It's sad how Tolkien's IP is being whored out.

Rings of Power, then Gollum, now this.

Honestly, I'd have Ubisoft give open world Middle Earth a go.

It'd be infinitely more exciting than whatever this is or the next Assassin's Creed we're going to get.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
At first I thought that this might be interesting until I saw the trailer. And this is coming from somebody who actually kind of likes the Gollun game.

Apart from questionable aesthetics and the fact this will run like ass on Switch - same with Gollum game, who thought this was a good idea?

Not playing as Aragorn, not another hack & slash game in the vein of PS2 games. No, what the world needs is Hobbit farming simulator?

I’m reluctant to put faith into any new projects based on Tolkien. It’s frustrating to see something used as cosplay more often than it is lovingly adapted. Despite that, this certainly has some charm…

Great art direction!
some charm.

One of the biggest IPs around and the idiots cant give it a proper budget to make a decent game.

LOTR feels wasted just like HP before Hogwarts Legacy. Last great game was during the PS2 era. Shadow of Mordor was meh.
 
Looks dated as fuck. Like a Dreamlight Valley with half the budget. And Dreamlight Valley isn't exactly Cyberpunk 2077.

It sorta looks like one of these MMOS that sprouted during the 2010s ready to kill WoW and went f2p in a month

It's obvious at this point that whatever scumbags are in charge of the license these days, they do not give a shit and just see it as an ATM.

EA were much better stewards of this franchise:

I would do almost anything for this game to come to PS+’s Classics Catalogue. It won’t happen but damn. This game was so fucking good.

The LOTR franchise has been fucking cursed for like the past 6 or so years and I am so here for it.

2024 has been a good year for popcorn vendors and lawn chair makers the world over.

I don't believe this has been made by Weta Workshop, with their state-of-the-art practical and computer generated facilities and databases...

This must be Wetass, that leprous bangladeshi mobile sweatshop. 🫠
