VIDEO GAMES: New Trailer For MIDDLE EARTH: SHADOW OF MORDOR Released

Instead of riding on the back of someone elses creation, I wish these studios would just use those same good ideas to present their own damn thing and risk throwing it out there like the good old days. We really don't need any more made up crap attached to Lord of the Rings and this looks like it could have been a decent game without piggy-backing onto the name brand.

looks sweet

what do you do when the lotr games are burnt out? you turn it into something else to squeeze out that last dollar.

this is really lame.

Finally, but can we shit on dwarfs?

The 10-minute gameplay video from a few weeks ago looks really good...much better than this new trailer lets on.

looks like garbage, they just can't seem to make a decent lord of the rings game, a game that captures the epicness of the films

ok....after reading the comments, now I know im not the only one not sold on this game. I will probably add it to my gamefly queue.

Yes, the 10 minute gameplay trailer to this was great. I'm definitely getting this game.

Grif's 100% right. This spits on the deep and thorough established mythos of Middle-earth just to make a knockoff story and cash in on LOTR's fame. Resurrected by a Spirit of vengeance? Please. Granted wraith like abilities? You've got to be freakin kidding me. Nowhere in Tolkein's writings is there an example of this or even room for it to be possible. Wraiths only existed as slaves to the one ring. And they weren't tools to be used at your discretion, they were all consuming. No part of this made up Talion guy would still exist. Also, Rangers weren't even in Mordor when Sauron returned, but I could let that by if the story was good. Which it isn't. It's a disgrace and an abomination and spits on the deep and established mythos of Middle-earth, all for a quick buck. TRUE Tolkien fans recognize this, and it's a shame cause he game looks awesome otherwise. But there's way too many unbelievably amazing characters and stories they could've used from Tolkien that were canon or even close to it without this. Honestly they should've just made this a God of War game or something cause that's clearly what they were going for.

I'm all for expanding on middle earth but I didn't see much to latch onto here.
