Can’t wait to harvest some Potatoes, then boil ‘em, mash ‘em and stick ‘em in a stew.
I think you mean taters 😂
😂😂 that is awesome!
@@John-lc2lz wots taters eh?
@@SharkwizardPO-TAY-TOES.
Thats the first breakfast, yes. But whats with the second?
No release date? Alright then, keep your secrets.
😂😂😂
This game will release precisely when it means to.
Well done @@ELMQ
2026
@@packers12to80 it literally says 2024 😂
Finally I can realize my lifelong dream of living in a hole in the ground. But not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: rather a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
Wtf😂
@@oompaloompadoompa-de-doo3614 quote from the original story
With a perfect round door like a porthole, painted green, with shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle.
Almost didn't realize you were quoting it until I noticed the descriptive language. I've never read the books, I don't have the attention span needed for reading, but I love LotR/The Hobbit and its setting, so I've heard that line before.
@@Lucifronz Do you like Audiobooks? Andy Serkis did a BRILLIANT reading of the Hobbit!
Finally, a game that let's you cook second breakfast
Don't think they know about 2nd breakfast Pip.
Can't wait for the Nazguls Raid DLC
Scouring of the Shire expansion
Gonna have to go through Farmer Maggot first!
Noooooooooooooooo ooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooo
*"Shiiiiiireeeeee... Baaaagiiiinnngsss..."*
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Breaking: Nintendo cures millions of depression by giving us Shire Crossing
Exactly! ^^
More like causes depression by not upgrading their ancient hardware and now this game looks like crap on all systems.
@@rupeeslang5121 Is that all you modern gamers care about? Graphics and frame rate?
@rupeeslang5121 if you care about graphics in a fantasy farming game you're playing for the wrong reason
*Story of Shires, formerly known as Harvest Shire but Natsume kept the trademark when Marvelous decided to export it themselves with their Xseed subsidiary.
Can’t wait to visit Tom “Nook” Bombadil
I wonder if we'll be able to explore the Old forest! Or the Barrow Downs!
Insta pass for me if he doesn't make the hobbits spontaneously sing
Tom would fit right in for a game like this.
Watch out for Old Man Willow
@@Atharkas if you’d like to explore Barrow Downs, Old Forest and visit Tom Bombadil, try The Lord of the Rings Online. I’ve been playing LOTRO for more than 10 years now and still enjoy it a lot:)
We had to suffer through golum to get to this
Gollum walked so Shire could run
More of light skipping
I am a proud pre-order and player of the gollum game, not the best game but a good game.
@@rola1449 thank you for your service 🫡
I NEVER wanna play that game.. as cool as it would have been to see things from Gollums perspective.. they really didn't do it right. I heard the controls are clunky and its more boring than anything else.
Literally looks like Animal Crossing with hobbits which feels like a very natural fit! How was this not a thing before now?!
I thought the same thing. It seems so obvious now, like of course Animal Crossing in Middle-Earth would be a fantastic idea. And yet I never thought of it until today, haha.
Because WB wanted to claim massive losses on Gollum for a tax break first
Christopher Tolkien passed not that long ago
until recently, average video game adaptation had to be action oriented, especially if source material involved violence in any way.
Because Devs didn't think like us before now.. we're becoming more accepted now.. with our shortness, cozy preferences and fondness toward warm drinks and weighted blankets.
The base raids are just Gandalf inviting dwarves into your house for a party to deplete your food stockpile, blunting the knives, damage your furniture (particularly the bathroom)
Blunting the knives, bending the forks, smashing the bottles and burning the corks...
Dwarf fortress has changed a lot in recent times...
Quite interesting. What about 2nd trailer? Or maybe 11-sies?
I don't think Private Division knows about 2nd trailer, Pip.
I love this comment section so much 😭
me: how whimsical can it possibly be?
the game: the default walk animation is 'skipping merrily'
Dude, Animal Crossing in Middle-Earth is something I didn’t know I needed, but now I absolutely do. Also, graphics are hella nostalgic, I don't even care if they wouldn't change all that much until release.
The graphics kinda remind me of the Hobbit game for the Gamecube. I loved that style, and that game too. This feels like a familiar welcoming return to Middle Earth...
And I shall be keeping my eye on it...
@@andrewdefty6044 I really wish they'd port that to Switch already. It's not just a game, it's an *experience*
@@josephwilkerson5753 Indeed it is! Just loved it, and now I'm going to have to break out my Gamecube and boot that game up once more to enjoy that experience again...
Good day to you fellow Shire-ling!
@@andrewdefty6044Perhaps even two eyes, as often as you can spare them
@@SlightyLessEvolved "Keep it secret, keep it safe!"
Tales of the Shire gameplay but every new area Sam says “One more step, I’ll be the farthest away from home I’ve ever been”
“You’ve been in farmer Maggot’s crop!”
Under rated comment.
Okay, but can I get involved with the intergenerational feud because great great aunt lobola stole my uncles silver wear at a party? Like true hobbits
Omg I would love that
Huh, a wholesome life simulator focusing on Hobbits.
Just wait until somebody inevitably makes a shrine to Sauron
(Spoilers: it's going to be me)
@@General..Grievous Can't wait to befriend the Nazgul. After all, they were so nice they didn't harm a single Hobbit! I'm sure they're the good guys and only wanted their stolen property back!
@LordDragox412
Actually, they kind of beheaded that one poor guy, then crushed the door watchman in Bree to death. So, not so nice.
@@mirceazaharia2094 No no no, you got it wrong. That one "poor" guy actually dreamed of becoming a Dullahan, so he had to be beheaded sooner or later to make his wish come true, at least partially. And Harry Goatleaf is not trampled to death in the novel, only in the slanderous movie. They would never betray their own!
It’s Lord of the Rings but nothing bad happens. This freaking RULES!
It's adjacent to it... but won't be long til Bilbo does something troublesome... then again no other frame of reference exists and I'm just now wondering
@@kitelanford Lord of the Rings, but the end of the third book doesn't happen for another ~100 years.
well... unless if it takes a 180 turn and gives us The Scouring
@@nseven1117 I guess it could be interesting to be post-Scouring as well - really, The Scouring is a potentially very interesting end-game thing to consider for the game.
Release date not revealed: "Keep it secret, keep it safe", is Nintendo's motto.
My Precioussssss
What’s fitting is the developer name: Private Division.
Me: This game looks like it should've come out in 2005.
The Developers: I good game arrives precisely when it intends to.
Hobbit: I really love the Shire.
Sackville-Baggins: Bilbo Baggins! Where are you!!!
Hobbit: Not all aspects of it though.
Just to be clear, we don't have to worry about Saruman and Wormtongue showing up, right?
*RIGHT?*
Final boss confirmed
they would come from time to time and would sell you some fake art
@@franciscoibarra8189 I suspect that the Sacksville-Baggins will be their main customers
Just keep an eye out for markings on your front door and visiting wizards.
@@franciscoibarra8189 but one of the art pieces is the real deal, you just have to figure out which one
Every ingame month you should be visited by Radagast to ask if you want to help him save a hedgehog, accepting turns the game into an incredibly simple and low stakes ARPG where you help Radagast spread sleep powder to calm woodland animals-
I really like radagast thats the joke
Radagast is cool and chill.
I like him too. 😅
Everybody whose opinion is actually worth hearing likes Radagast.
I felt like LOTRO did a *Really* good job of making Radagast feel right. Very in tune with nature, lots of animals, kind of odd. But also doing real wizard stuff, cleansing a swamp possessed with evil spirits and a twisted nature spirit with your help. He's still a wizard, he's still one of a maiar. PJ Hobbit movies made him an absolutely fool and I hated it.
"The Shire must truly be a great realm, Master Gamgee, where gardeners are held in high honor." --Faramir, Captain of Gondor
The female hobbit literally skipping through the dandelions is enough for me. I'll buy it.
Explore by water, the ending is finding the one ring killing, your brother, and turning in Gollum.
DLC story
Not to be a nerd, but Gollum didn't live in the Shire. He was from a group of hobbits that lived on the other side of the Misty mountains, along the Anduin river. This was where the hobbits originally resided before migrating.
This game exists in an alternate universe, where Déagol didn't get killed, because he had a Deagle.
Also, I don't want to be a nerd. But smeagol and deagol weren't brothers they were cousins. There are three types of Hobbits harfoots, stools, and fallohides.
Thank you LOTR nerds for correcting me. I take no offense and will willing confess I had no clue. It was my attempt at humor, wanting a game to go from bright and cheery to dark despair
It almost seems like a no brainer to turn the shire into a farming sim, I’m Honda surprised no one’s done it before now
Well, that Escalade-d quickly
It seems you and your auto-correct are not in one Accord.
If you make a mistake is best to just ford ahead.
The Accura-cy of this comment cannot be understated. It's our Civic duty to make sure the public's Focus isn't drawn away.
I Mercedes is the truth.
I can’t wait to smoke some Old Toby
Animal Crossing with Hobbits? Now I'm intrigued.
Finally, I can live my lifelong dream of being a hobbit in Hobbiton lol.
*Bywater
@@Jackleber I know, but it sounds better/more people are familiar with Hobbiton than Bywater (at least outside the fandom).
If they made a Hobbit game that was more like Crystal Chronicles or Rune Factory, that'd be pretty neat. The Shire has the atmosphere for it to work.
right? I feel like ill just get bored of this game super quick... without adventure and/or fighting monsters it just seems lame af.
Fingers crossed but unlikely
I didn’t even know I needed this until I saw this trailer.
If I can make my Hobbit look like Link, I’m all in mates.
Not sure green is as popular with the shirefolk as it is with hyrulians, but the green with brown leather look from twilight princess should probably be workable....maybe curly haired Link?
You got my head spinning 😵💫
You’ll be links distant cousin with hairy feet
Toe hair intensifies...
I would find it so funny if mid farming or something the scouring of the shire just happens out of nowhere.
I literally just screamed out loud in my empty home. SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR THIS ASKSALHKLDS. This is everything my Middle Earth-loving heart has ever wanted in a cozy game aaaaaaaaaa
Looks woke
@@elgenfranord1651 ok boomer
@elgenfranord1651 oh good...they have a cave troll
@@happyjam92 no worries, a bit of sunlight will fix it
some of the graphics and animations look like they need a lil work but otherwise I am so excited for this!!!!
This idea sounds fun but it looks more like an original Xbox game. Maybe it is the art style they were going for but it definitely looks dated.
@@curtismaximus123looks like a painting
I agree! Some animations are still a little wonky and some assets seem to not be done yet (even within that kinda style). I'm sure they will get polished. There is no date yet, so its not done yet
Yeah, it reminds me of some of the other bad Harvest Moon/Animal Crossing knocoff games that the Switch has been plagued with over the years...
The idea of Animal Crossing in the Shire sounds cool, but I'm curious how that will work out. One of the things that's fun with Animal Crossing is you can do what you want with the whole island and you have a lot of different styles to choose from. I think centering it around Hobbits is restrictive especially if you can only manage your own property and not the whole Shire.
I'm wondering if it will be more story-based like Story of Seasons because of this
‘Oh no, nine men in long dark cloaks riding horses have trampled your turnips!’
The one thing it didn't say is if you can customize your character, or if you are forced to play the one from the trailer.
Might be worth a playthrough, we never did spend much time in the Shire.
The Steam page says you can customise your character.
@@HaydenVBeckett Thank you, that's kind of an important detail to leave out of a trailer though.
Well we also know next to nothing if there will be combat or outside the shire exploration
@@MidnaNightengale it's Nintendo. Their first trailers are usually there to pull you in and get you interested. Then they drop one later with a little more info, and the last one the day the game drops that would give you all the deets....if you hadn't just ordered and picked up/downloaded the game already XD
I wonder if this is set before or after the events of LotR.
You unlocked SAM WISE GAMGEE (LEGENDARY WARRIOR AND SAVIOR OF MIDDLE EARTH) (and BEST FRIEND OR FRODO BAGGINS)
Smeagol (Gollum) says " FAT HOBBIT"
The trailer says it's a "tale of new beginnings." That makes my brain instantly jump to rebuilding the Shire after Saurumon scoured it, but that entirely depends on if this game wants to be in line with the book, or movie continuity.
@@mustacheman529 you make a good point
You really hear the "Ori" notes in the music, great composition again
It will be on steam and consoles aswell 😊
@@Yasmin-dc5hq Uuuuuh awesome ^-^ ty
W-wait. Did they get the same composer who did Ori?! I will cry 🥹
@@kaeldrarhiannon not sure :) but sounds for me a lot like Naru embracing the light from Ori ^^
Didn’t realize how much I needed Hobbit Crossing
I will be Smeagol/Gollum and get my revenge from nasty Hobbitses.
Need this to drop immediately
You had me at „Decorate your home“ ngl
Same.
I really want this to be good. Please, make this game good.
This looks like it was made in 2005
Bilbo: Gandalf my old friend this will be a game to remember.
Never thought I'd need a cozy, wholesome life sim set in the Lord of the Rings universe, and yet, here we are. Hope this also comes to PS5!
The end of the trailer with the title card has the PS5 logo!
@@kaeldrarhiannon YAASSS
Spiritually this could feel like a Kirby game: Cute but how far down the rabbit hole we talking here... after all, this may be Bilbo's "prime era" but it won't be long til some historical events are caused by him
This is a total dream come true: living as a Hobbit in Middle Earth!!!!
Can't wait for a 4hr video essay about how this impacts the greater lore.
Added to list! Looks so cozy❤
I love the Tales of Series. Tales of Arise was 🔥. So I’m really hyped for this one.
Perfect. I need a chill out game soon.
(in Bob Dylan Voice) "I ain't gonna work on Maggots Farm no more"
Don’t forget the Third Breakfast.
And Elevensies..
@@gunjak87 and Luncheon.
Went from:
"why does this even exist"
to
"I actually do want to have my own precious hobbit home."
Not the first time, considering it was... awhile since Gollum was said and done, and Rings of Power... despite being two diffrent mediums... skepticalism does exist
@@kitelanford Skepticalism does not exist, I think you mean skepticism.
This reminds me of the game Aragorn.
It was so peaceful in the beginning in Hobbiton. 🤗❤
The music alone got me wrapped in.
I visited the movie site in New Zealand, it’s absolutely amazing. This is my dream game!
Wow.😃
Was it really beautiful?🙂
@@Unknown_User174 Yes, it’s very beautiful, definitely a lifetime experience to have for LOTR fans~
If NZ would not be so far away to reach/travel to... 😞😭😭
i hope i will survive till it's coming out 🥺its so wonderful
I love how it says wishlist now.. but it's not even showin up in the eshop.. i did wishlist it on the sight.. but...
I am looking forward to getting the game
Po-ta-to, po-ta-to... boil em mash em, put em in a stew. 🥔
Is this Harvest Moon set in the Shire? If so then it's going to print money.
It says "Wishlist now" at the end, but I don't see it in the eshop yet?
Wow, I am reading the first Lotr book now and this trailer drops! That's some crazy coincidence haha!
Many of us wanted to move to tge shire. This is as close as we'll ever get.
So many people complaining about the graphics/character models…… it literally says “Alpha Footage” at the beginning. We are only seeing the beginnings.
I’m so excited for this game, even if the end product graphics end up being a bit rough. A good game does not equal perfect graphics
I'm glad someone else said this too
If we want real life like graphics..go to PC... Switch is for fun games. For families with functionality..(most times)
I don't care what other people say, this Gamecube game looks fantastic!
@@WarlanderTV Bro's never even touched a Gamecube before 💀
So don't show it yet! This is what the game will look like more or less on release. Don't kid yourself
@@TheNameIsSR "Don't advertise your game!" Great sentiment, this'll really help the game.
I will definitely be checking this out when it drops. I still would like to see a port of Aragorn's Quest for the Switch.
And just when I was hoping for another life simulation to play (and also to get into something nerdy), this game appeared.
So, it's basically Palia except with an IP that has less chance of failure.
My thoughts exactly
Farming sims have been around since 1997.
As much as I want this game, the visual fidelity is so poor. Looks 15 years old…
I think the graphics aee fine for the type of game it is supposed to be.
I think if the mechanics are good, and the art direction is good, then people will not mind as much.
Plus, this is also a trailer. The final game might show improvements.
Definitely getting that.
will there be a mod to allow you to scour the shire, it looks like it could do with one.
Looks better than Gollum
hopefully they will make it so you have to stick to the hobbit meal plan ( breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper! maybe they can release dessert as a DLC?)
There better be a way to make my hobbit look like Gollum
It looks good for a Gamecube game.
Promising. Will keep an eye on this.
Hmmmmm...let's say I expect MUCH more in term of visual, especially when it comes from Weta Workshop. This looks...generic.
Wonder if you can get lit with Gandalf.
I want this now!!!! My precious!
Of all the lore and all the locations, all the potential stories in Midde Earth… they landed on this.
Middle Earth: *the Plot*
The Shire: *harvest festival*
Can’t wait for dwarves to arrive at my hobbit house unexpectedly, raid my kitchen, and then start singing about some gold or something.
One of those games where you're surprised it exists; yet, at the same time, you're just as surprised it took _this long_ to exist.
Very excited for the new “Tales of” game.
See now if there is any firm of combat or exploring dungeons, then this would be giving Crystal Chronicles energy. I'm interested in this game enough to see more of it.
Dunno, feels more like Harvest Moon than Crystal Chronicles...
Is this game going to be a solo adventure or it'll be possible to do some multiplayer / mmo ?
Give us a collectors edition with the book and take my money
You know a ideia is genius when it seemed really obvious all along. I get the feeling the man himself would love this, especially if it has overly long descriptions of fauna/flora!
Please don’t suck like Gollum!
Is this before or after the Battle of Bywater?
this new tales of game looks kinda cool
0:59 Everything is cool, but why there are hobbits from Harad (or Rhun)?
chimney sweep) well, I didn’t even notice at first
Sharky's east men did some work eh?
...And now we wait.
Excited is not the word to express this wonderful feeling of playing Tales of the Shire.
Judging by the graphics and animations this will be released during the holiday season of 2003.
Definitely one of the more creative takes on a lord of the rings game. Kudos to the team!
