Middle-earth: Shadow of War Gameplay Trailer

[@anomaly7853]

Interesting how they bill this as "Alpha Gameplay" while it has features that they certainly never actually intended to put in the full release, like the incredible specificity of the dialogue and the very large amount of cinematic animation during gameplay.

[@Lucifronz]

@FatSkeleton No. No, that is not what happened at all. I'm sorry, but that kind of naivete cannot go uncorrected. They never intended to put this in the game. It was purely edited content meant to to get you to buy the game. Just like how they never intended to remove microtransactions and only did so once they were no longer profitable to squeeze out the last available sales.

[@theoverlord3937]

I mean, there isn’t that much missing. Most of the trailer-only parts are just cinematics meant to better highlight Nemesis mechanics, like cheating death and saviors. A lot of it is still there, just not as emphasized in actual gameplay. Except for the Overlord stuff, that got axed I guess.

[@theallsight7076]

@@LucifronzI feel like that last bit is purely speculation and rumors. Whether or not they intended to put it into the game, I wish people realized that or wasn't going to be like this 100%. That's hilarious. Unless you haven't played the game, you should know how sophisticated the Nemesis System is. Game Maker's Toolkit did a good video covering this and why there isn't a system like this going around anymore; and it covers more than what can be filled into a comment or reply. Just imagine being the developer or one of the actors in this game, coding and modeling and animating sections of the game or going over lines and lines and lines of dialogue for months on end, just to get it as close to the trailer as it could be. With my experience in coding, I have a high respect for devs for what they do. As for the lootboxes: Don't forget the backlash. I'd say that could've been a contributing factor. Weren't games like Star War BF2 EA boycotted and constantly on sale (last I heard) because of such practices? Weren't games that had lootboxes also banned in countries like Belgium? Didn't EA go to court and argued that lootboxes weren't bad? I'm pretty sure that all happened. I'm also sure that no one would buy one of these lootboxes in Shadow of War because of the *numerous* amount of Captains, War-chiefs, and Overlords, don't forget the Vendetta missions and Online Raids. With this in mind, would the devs keep the lootboxes?

Obviously I would give you that, and if nobody no longer buys it, im obviously gonna remove it so the people who complains for no absolute reason when they can just avoid the microtransaction, and then get more money from them too, its just so ridiculous how this yall outrage over this stuff, its a company that needs money, not a goddamn lemonade stand that sells for cheap, want more games? contribute, you don't want to contribute?

Yeah, you can clearly see the edited and scripted parts. Game's still great, though, but I refused to pay for it until they finally removed those fucking microtransactions. I was incredibly excited for it, too. Shadow of Mordor was a sleeper hit I wasn't expecting to fall in love with so hard. Speaking of Middle-earth games and bullshit, they need to patch Shadow of Mordor on PC. The Bright Lord DLC doesn't work for a ton of people and hasn't since 2017. That's unacceptable.

[@jimmynicol7942]

Yeah, it's the main thing I was looking forward to doing back when this first aired. Forging bonds with my army. Hopefully the Wonder Woman game, if it ever comes out, actually leans into that. She's all compassion, so she's not going to hate an enemy as much as Talion hates his Orcs. Hopefully we can actually forge positive relationships as her with out followers in that game. Assuming we even have followers anyway.

[@qymaen-jai-sheelal]

I would love to have orcs to do the speeches instead of the angry Celebrimbor, or the depressed Dark Talion.

[@specter1691]

Personally I think I would like it if all of the spies for the fort stood on the speech balcony with each of them kinda of chiming in with Talion finishing the speech off. (If there are no spies then it could any Orc Captains that participated in the Assault and lived). I know that the speech would be long but yet again people can always skip it if they want. But I do agree with you that If I had the pick between Talion (and/or Celebrimbor) giving the speech or an Orc captain doing it, I think that having the promoted Orc give the speech would be better because it would add some variety to the game. Like for example if the Orc is an Assassin or part of the Dark Tribe he can say that we won the siege due to the deceit and deception of the spies planted within the fort or if the Orc is a Commander, Tank, Berserker, or part of the Warmonger Tribe they can say that they won due to their strength, ferocity, (and/or tactics) and more given the other tribes and classes of Orc. Maybe even Talion/Celebrimbor can chime in at the end to wrap everything up because at the same time it doesn't feel entirely right for the person who leads the army to not give/be a part of the empowering victory speech

@@ColderPls yeah that makes sense

[@RealGrognak]

Fun facts: Necromancer is never really a class just a trait Armored Caragor is never in the game, caragors with armor have the exact same amount of health as wild caragors. Battering Ram is also never in the game, each orc does the same amount of damage to walls except if they have great strength. Also Overlords stand out on a balcony.

[@jocabrera0809]

what about great tremor?

[@kit-san4846]

Actually, battering ram IS in the game. Its just called Tremor and it has uses outside of sieges. Or at least, it does NOW from what I can tell.

[@filipvadas7602]

Honestly, the thing that disapplinted was the fact that picking an Overlord is basically *windowdressing* , contrary to what they imply here. Outside of changing the look of the Fortress and providing *tiny* advantages during sieges based on which clan the Orc belongs to, it really has no effect on the game. No special upgrades, no unique missions cause by the Overlord's style of rule, no rebellions, there isn't even any betrayal or dialogue cause by pickong one Orc over another for the job. Hell, after you die defending a fortress, you instantly lose and the Overlord is captured regardless of how powerfull he is or how succesfully you were defending up until that point. And at no point during a defense does the Overlord actually come out and fight. So picking a strong Overlord is literally *less than useless* when you could just have them be your bodyguard or defend a point as a Warchief or Captain.

[@MasonStevens9863]

He only comes out and fights if you lose every point right up until the last one. Besides that you're right.

[@bobo577]

I once had an unfair death by a graug, threw a rock at me while I was distracted fighting one of my followers who betrayed me.

[@ColderPls]

the only reason to have a powerful overlord is to make players have a hard time to conquer your fortress (as the hardest part of a siege is the overlord, IF done right)

[@TheMessiahOfThe99Percent]

Wrong Completely and utterly wrong There are many things that change depending on the overlord's personality and even tribes Understandably, Outlaw tribes will rebel the most and Warmongers the least

[@trmp3tply3r3]

@@TheMessiahOfThe99PercentWrong. Personality does not matter at all for the Overlord. All that matters is tribe. You listed two examples, that is NOT many. There isn't too much of a difference between overlords except for atmosphere, banners, special "buildings" at forts and outposts, sometimes a difference in grunts (more Slaves for Machine, Treasure for Marauder, Banners for Outlaw), and then MAYBE some captain attitude differences.

[@Vibrioidimp7]

For those taking my question seriously, lemme clarify. I know why they make the trailers so awesome - to sell the game. I just feel incredibly mislead or even lied to when trailers way over-hype the game to make sales, when the actual game doesn't even come close to living up to the greatness trailers displayed. Conversations with orcs have way less flair to them, curse is very different from the final game, the choice of who to make overlord is purely cosmetic and serves no gameplay purpose, and it was a missed opportunity to show more personality of the orcs by making YOU give the speech at the end as opposed to them. You may argue that it's supposed to be cinematic exclusively for the trailer, but it's called a GAMEPLAY trailer, I wanna see some gameplay that's actually true to what we experience in the final game, not some glorified version of it we'll never get to play, it's just a total tease.

Good morning, 47. Your destination is Mordor, a blighted landscape of mythical creatures and hostile inhabitants, all led by a mysterious Sauron, their Dark Lord. Initially thought to be a fictional creation of the late author Tolkien, the region was suddenly seen resurfacing near the Middle East and North Africa, as in a modern-day Atlantis. After a series of coastal raids and high-profile attacks in the surrounding continents and the Mediterranean, a naval blockade has been formed to reduce further strikes. Our client, a defense contractor in the EU, has authorized the complete destruction of Mordor and its hostile inhabitants, and to do that, the client wants to start at the heart of the lands itself: the fortresses, the overlords and their war chiefs. To that end, you're to eliminate *Thrak Storm-Bringer.* A sadistic warmonger and torturer, who delights in cursing the lands with his dark gifts. This man doesn't care about spilling the blood of his enemies, the innocents or his own, all he cares about is spilling blood. In fact, there was a time when he raged against Mordor itself, before his desire for power caused him to betray his blood brothers. He's currently holding inside the Seregost fortress, enjoying his station of power, while his opposition outside his fortress schemes night and day to remove the despotic overlord, all led by a mysterious _Tark._ Tension is high, and so is security - on the streets and in the fortress, guards and lookouts are on high alert, looking for any sign of resistance to squash it with extreme prejudice. This is a powder keg of a situation, 47. Mordor itself was never known to be a bastion of stability and we are looking at yet another military coup waiting to happen, blowing this keg exponentially and potentially spreading outside Mordor. I trust you'll handle this discretely, but still, be careful. I will leave you to prepare.

If the third game doesn't act like this I'll be pissed. IF YOU'D MAKE ONE!

Rip az-laar everyday i remember him

Should've kept this in the game tbh

It doesn't really look like a game, its looking like an animation of some sort.

[@xSETUMx]

but it is a game.

[@DeRanter]

Honestly I’m kinda glad it isn’t as cutsceney and edited. Would have gotten old fast. Although if it did this in the first raid on a fortress you do then it would make more sense.

[@idek3044]

The narrator sounds like Galadriel

8:47 Wait is this a thing in the final release of the game? I've never noticed this because I never ride caragors

[@Kitty_SoftpawsOffical]

Yes

[@CaseohsBloodPressureMaxing]

Well time to play this game cause i completed the old Shadow of modor

[@Drumlineforever]

Dont get me wrong i dont understand a thing about coding and game designs but i dont think this wouodve been hard to make in game, if this was every siege i would constantly lose my fortresses just for the excitement, this all looks awesome. Its kinda sad how much of this looks cool but isnt the same in-game.

[@commanderwhite126]

why wasn't the game like this when I played it😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[@DarkLordSauronrocks]

These guys are laughing in the corner with their expanded nemesis system 💀

[@bruzh6359]

I spent 4 days trying to get the StormBringer and I failed

[@AlphaMale774]

they edited actual stuff to make new stuff...damn man, false advertising. Love the game tho

[@lemonfresh8606]

And thus the orc never appeared in the game thus only staying in the trailer

[@jocabrera0809]

maybe they just replaced it with the name tremor good tip any olog you have that has tremor make sure they allways attack the gates and walls they do more dammage

[@udonigaming3124]

I’m still trying to find a storm bringer

[@Bolaway]

Make more updates, people returned to the game.

Wish it was that simple

[@lad5671]

wish we got cutscenes like this in game, its still great but it coulda been alot better

[@Dr.Gaming103]

Great game, not exactly like the game shows, but as it says yes

[@pineappleoverlord9k462]

az-laar is the goat and its a shame the trailer did him dirty like that

[@yorhahoudini4531]

You would think that during production of this game, they’d realize that making a finite selection of unique orcs who have story relevance was better than what we got. If this Alpha is any indication.

[@MrBurningToast]

a shame how some things weren't added

[@anonymous1925]

Can you guys make a second except u can chose to be a orc captain of ur choice or a knight or somthign like that
