Donna Farstad Oh, yeah, but they promised way too much. Here though, it's at least plausible, especially considering how much effort went into the random generation of the Uruks in the previous game. Really, it's just Shadow of Mordor on a larger scale with the ante upped and that's fine with me. If they had said every single spec of soil in this game's maps was randomly generated, I'd say it was NMS 2.0 in the making.
In Shadow of Mordor DLC they had Caragaths which were stealth versions of Caragors. I hope they do the same but with spiders. That would actually be awesome.
I'm really excited for this game. I loved the first one. The drake model seems way too static though. It doesn't look like its back is capable of bending at all in the air. Did anyone else notice this? EDIT: I changed "it's" with "its"
Donna Farstad This isn't No man's sky first middle earth was game of the year and I m also sure about this one..from abilities to nemesis system everything has been upgraded..already a winner for me
Very short and not much intel but none the less we got something out of it with straight answers and new and exiting gameplay features to look forward to. Thank you very much IGN and see you in Middle Earth.
Mr Blunden22 hopefully massive and atleast free roaming is in the game i was generally worried for some reason that the free roaming would be gone. know idea why.
The game has a map for each fortress, in the first trailer the last shot that zoomed out on the world map showed like 10+ fortresses, each map has been confirmed to be atleast 1,5 times the size of one map from the first game. The first game had 2 maps.
So question for Monolith, how do your enemies respond to you being on a drake? Will they even try to kill the drake? In the gameplay video it did not seem like the drake was even being attacked. I just do not want to feel completely invulnerable on the back of the drake is all. And lastly, if the drake dies while you are on it in the air, will you fall? Or is there another animation?
Just imagine how this guys from Monolith can shine in the development of hobbit game with stealth, infiltration, gnomes, elves, trolls, goblins, mages, spiders and all of this on the road to Smaug's lair.
When the Graugh throws the boulder or ice on the drake, the drake doesn't move an inch. That's seems weird, unnatural and too... videogamey if you know what I mean. Yeah, sure, it is a videogame. But I think it would be cool if the drake by taking a hit lost his altitude or at least flew a bit backwards or something. That way, it would also make him less overpowered I think.Just a suggestion.
0:25 Not sure how most 'Monster Slayer' types will even reach us in flight. Archers/Hunters will need to do work. Even 'Boomerang Berserker' won't be able to toss high enough. One of the 'Monster Immune' might not even matter unless the fire is ruled as such rather than just 'fire' (which others can be immune to and/or hate **if not fear**). Could be both, I suppose. NOTE: Wish the fire breath (in stream form) was better about conveying its limits (quite good coverage). 0:37 I presume this fire isn't going to make the Morgai Fly Hive drop for a 'Wraith Detonation' like our fire arrows do. 0:40 I presume the drake is on our side here, but the Graug clearly isn't yet his attack doesn't even hit Talion. They've got 'god mode' on again. 0:53 We won't just have the 'Shadow Brand' for this foe type? As for needing head shots to down one, I should hope I can avoid the need to use a wraith ability (the bow) to achieve this. Bait it down some other way (if not using a ballista or something). 1:07 That to say we lose the ability (not starting with it), it gets upgraded to include them or what? 1:14 One wonders how we pick which beast turns up. 1:25 Ah, good. Still wanting to see a grab (especially from Talion as it has conspicuously been absent in gameplay footage for SoW). Hopefully its grab works like the Graug in that it works around immunity by uniques. Pick them up and drop them to their doom much as a Golden Eagle would against a tortoise. 1:35 Destroys the environement, eh? Would that mean it knocks down breakable walls, activates Caragor bait and so on as our charged bow can do? 1:37 Fireball is a concentrated shot, then? Duly noted. 1:54 I imagine the regular Graug still cannot toss dirt clumps/rocks when we ride them, but at least the ice version has a projectile. 2:15 All things with time, I suppose.
Hopefully there's something strong enough from Sauron's force's (other than crashing into a Graug or other Fiery Drakes) that can defeat branded Drakes. It takes away the fun if 2-3 Drakes can take down a whole fortress on their own. I'm assuming that a Warchief will have some kind of skill in that effect. Or maybe a Barlog, although I think those will be rare. Can we ride a Barlog?
The war between Talion and Sauron probably drove the creatures to extinction. Which is probably why we don't see the Nazgul riding them instead of Fell Beasts. So if it went for Talion, Sauron may not have lost the war. Interesting.
I really like the idea of the new revamped nemesis system but I really hope they made events way more frequent in the demo than in the actual game. By the "your ally has come to help you" part in the boss fight it didn't feel special, rather it felt more like "oh gee another 'exciting' and random event... what's next that guy comes back headless to fight me?"
What he's saying is that Sauron and any sort of Balrog are Maiar spirits. If you can control a Balrog with a new ring of power which I'm assuming is more powerful than the one Frodo has, why not just literally walk straight into Mordor and use the new ring of power on Sauron and just control him?
It looks cool but from the footage I have a feeling that there will be several smaller open world maps and not one big interconnected one. And you will most likely have to run around all of them unlocking towers and collecting collectibles... hope they surprise me and use less of the ubisoft open world formula not more of it.
Salty Alpaca yeah but no game company is gunna show off a bad product. They only say alpha so they can trick people into thinking the game is gunna be better than it looks in the trailer but it never is. "Quite obvious"
god please let the drakes be able to land and actually WALK! *_* also itll be really cool to see some armour like a real saddle or something like this on beasts
1:48 I guess you could say that Drake needed.......More Life.
Nova Phoenixx Bruh 😂
Nova Phoenixx More life 🌺 more Chunes for ya head tops
January's Very Own so watch how you speak out my name you know?
🔥🌺
Can I mount sauron
I hope we can ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Dark Lord best waifu.
ASS♂WE♂CAN
You're gonna be the lord of his ring alright.
I feel so filthy.
Darren Quirolo you can mount me🤑😓
This is already my favourite game of 2017 and i havent even played it yet
Mr Blunden22 the amount of people that said this about no mans sky
Donna Farstad Yes, because a new IP made by a small team is the exact same as an existing IP made by a larger team.
same
Heartache your right. Just thought it was funny how no mans sky disappointed everyone
Donna Farstad Oh, yeah, but they promised way too much. Here though, it's at least plausible, especially considering how much effort went into the random generation of the Uruks in the previous game. Really, it's just Shadow of Mordor on a larger scale with the ante upped and that's fine with me.
If they had said every single spec of soil in this game's maps was randomly generated, I'd say it was NMS 2.0 in the making.
Let me ride Shelob.
Being able to ride a dragon almost has me sold
Game Head 2 had me sold, I bought the original and beat it just so I could ride dragons and not be lost in the story
you can also ride a spider, it is confirmed
It actually is confirmed. They said it in the 4th livestream.
In one of the ign videos they released already it shows a spider icon on the bottom of the screen. So yeah it's true.
Isn't it a drake though? dragons are far more bigger and fiery....but mainly bigger
Ridable Spiders, how do they expect talion to stealth an Olog without a giant spider. We need this.
Yeah, because giant spiders are so stealthy
When the lights or on perhaps...
In Shadow of Mordor DLC they had Caragaths which were stealth versions of Caragors. I hope they do the same but with spiders. That would actually be awesome.
I think they said you can ride gigant spiders in one of the streams (5 or 6?), but better look it up cause I´m not certain.
I'm really excited for this game. I loved the first one. The drake model seems way too static though. It doesn't look like its back is capable of bending at all in the air.
Did anyone else notice this?
EDIT: I changed "it's" with "its"
I see it, hoping it's only because it's alpha gameplay. The game however looks amazing, can't wait
RebuildingYourRuins what do you mean :
he means drake looks too still
Not personally, but I thought the Drake's flames looked a bit static at times.
Jack Mae it's not fluid. it's stiff.
Damn this keeps coming everyday. I couldn't handle thd hype.
Is Ratbag the only one excited for the ice graug
Ratbag yes
Is he dead or not?
1:21 I like how that guy just went flying off the screen
Can't wait for the GOTY Edition of this game, it will include all of the DLC's and be less than half the original price :)
Right lol! Patience is a virtue
Damn straight boi! Patience always pays off!
I'm still waiting for a Complete Edition of Fallout 4.
I'll wait until death if need be.
wolverine
I'll just get Totally Accurate Battle Simulator.
Ah... IGN, I feel like you're spoiling us with these behind the scenes of Shadow of War. Please keep doing this!
More Shadow of War or you'll feel the wrath of the dark lord!
this game gets more and more amazing
summon Drake's, so yes
just flying around in Mordor, nice
can't wait
Caaaant wait!
I love how IGN is taking the lead regarding this game !! WP
Love the fact you can ride them, just hope the devs polish up the animations for it before launch :)
"We will have more Shadow of War content." You got my subscription.
Game of the year Written all over..
Mayank Rawat people said this about no mans sky too
Donna Farstad This isn't No man's sky first middle earth was game of the year and I m also sure about this one..from abilities to nemesis system everything has been upgraded..already a winner for me
Donna Farstad No Man's Sky wasn't a sequel to a highly acclaimed game tho...
***** Exactly
Zero Horizon is obviously going to take it.
Very short and not much intel but none the less we got something out of it with straight answers and new and exiting gameplay features to look forward to. Thank you very much IGN and see you in Middle Earth.
Yeah they're giving information but I'm so hyped for this game that I need more. Potentially exploding with excitement.
1:54 Looks like I found my favorite *beast* ,the "Pitch Beast Creature"
Looking foward for this game.
How big is the map????
Mr Blunden22 hopefully massive and atleast free roaming is in the game i was generally worried for some reason that the free roaming would be gone. know idea why.
Mr Blunden22 well there are Like 5 places and each place is bigger than both Maps from the first game
You sure theres only 5? I swear there was loads of forts on the trailer
I heard that there would be about 25+ fortresses and they all have their separate map, and many are bigger than the Shadow of Mordor Maps
The game has a map for each fortress, in the first trailer the last shot that zoomed out on the world map showed like 10+ fortresses, each map has been confirmed to be atleast 1,5 times the size of one map from the first game. The first game had 2 maps.
How about one of those horned beasts that pulled Grond, the wolfs head in the original siege of minas tirith?
Can you ride barrels?
can we mount the balrog?
So question for Monolith, how do your enemies respond to you being on a drake? Will they even try to kill the drake? In the gameplay video it did not seem like the drake was even being attacked. I just do not want to feel completely invulnerable on the back of the drake is all. And lastly, if the drake dies while you are on it in the air, will you fall? Or is there another animation?
I'm so excited and I've wanted the summon beast ability
the darkness of Mordor consumes me, please help me, sacrifice my soul.
Anyone notice how he said orc not uruk?
Everyday Deputy we must punish this heretic
Uruk = Orc in blackspeech. Same with goblin; Same words in different languages.
ariel sharpe not sure but I believe that Uruk are resistant to sunlight and orcs are not
ariel sharpe No. Uruk are called "Greater Orcs" are resistant to sunlight and are stronger.
Those are Uruk-Hai, I believe. A sub-type of common orcs.
I hope they tell us more about that summon spiders, how big they will be, how many, can you ride them etc.
I want to ride the Balrog.
Just imagine how this guys from Monolith can shine in the development of hobbit game with stealth, infiltration, gnomes, elves, trolls, goblins, mages, spiders and all of this on the road to Smaug's lair.
Riding a fellbeast like the nazgull is my dream since 2003 when Rotk was released !
I don't know , maybe
When the Graugh throws the boulder or ice on the drake, the drake doesn't move an inch. That's seems weird, unnatural and too... videogamey if you know what I mean. Yeah, sure, it is a videogame. But I think it would be cool if the drake by taking a hit lost his altitude or at least flew a bit backwards or something. That way, it would also make him less overpowered I think.Just a suggestion.
I'm so excited, Spyro was my favorite game growing up
so is there going to be an actual video like the gameplay one or just these clips?
Is there some gameplay of a caragor subspecies?
Taking command of minas morgol and having a drake stationed there is certainly a target for when I get this game!!
wait did anybody else here you can summon a drake with an upgraded skill
"I am Fire!....I am Death!"
I just hope you don't have to turn some abilities off to turn other abilities on. Like in the first one
Man, I really hope they give us surprise with a mountable great eagle.
Grawwr.
Gwraaarrr? Guur geh grrr gah, Ggggrrrrr GAH? Psshh. Grawwwr.
Prak Jaws take the mask off
Lewis Heppinstall Necht
*SCREAMS AT TEAR*
Indeed.
wisely spoken
0:25 Not sure how most 'Monster Slayer' types will even reach us in flight. Archers/Hunters will need to do work. Even 'Boomerang Berserker' won't be able to toss high enough. One of the 'Monster Immune' might not even matter unless the fire is ruled as such rather than just 'fire' (which others can be immune to and/or hate **if not fear**). Could be both, I suppose.

1:35 Destroys the environement, eh? Would that mean it knocks down breakable walls, activates Caragor bait and so on as our charged bow can do?
1:37 Fireball is a concentrated shot, then? Duly noted.
1:54 I imagine the regular Graug still cannot toss dirt clumps/rocks when we ride them, but at least the ice version has a projectile.
2:15 All things with time, I suppose.
Can you attack enemies from above by dismounting in mid air?
last time I was this early shadow of mordor just released
Hopefully there's something strong enough from Sauron's force's (other than crashing into a Graug or other Fiery Drakes) that can defeat branded Drakes. It takes away the fun if 2-3 Drakes can take down a whole fortress on their own.
I'm assuming that a Warchief will have some kind of skill in that effect. Or maybe a Barlog, although I think those will be rare.
Can we ride a Barlog?
Man anyone else notice when the Balrog roars the actual teeth on its mask begin to glove orange from the heat?
Is it me or did I see the new footage of draqs spitting fire looking like it was dragging itself or something
Are there more beast other than grauges , drake and that caragor
I love the open world aproach they're taking!
How do you control them? Cant tell from the vid if on rails or free control...
I can't wait for this game bro! I'm so hyped!
I like how the Graug threw a snowball at the Drake and it was like mehhh. LOL. The physics so far is kinda PS2-ish.
Hey What's an Uruk's Pick-Up line?
'Hey baby Were you forged By Sauron? Cause your Precious'
I don't think this game can get any more badass.
the creative VP said in a stream multiple times about summoning spiders
cant wait to get more of it *-*
I hope dominated mounts are persistent and upgradable. I want to dote on a favored drake and bring it to the height of it's power!
While Gandalf and Frodo were making their way towards Mordor, Talion and Celembrimbor were taking care of the drakes and the balrogs :D
The war between Talion and Sauron probably drove the creatures to extinction. Which is probably why we don't see the Nazgul riding them instead of Fell Beasts. So if it went for Talion, Sauron may not have lost the war. Interesting.
I really like the idea of the new revamped nemesis system but I really hope they made events way more frequent in the demo than in the actual game. By the "your ally has come to help you" part in the boss fight it didn't feel special, rather it felt more like "oh gee another 'exciting' and random event... what's next that guy comes back headless to fight me?"
This is a great contender for God of War 4. Man! Things are going great for gaming. Can't wait.
i just hope i can get on top of those mountains ... hype is cooking ....
I really can't wait for this!!!
Imagine if you could dominate the Balrog...
What he's saying is that Sauron and any sort of Balrog are Maiar spirits. If you can control a Balrog with a new ring of power which I'm assuming is more powerful than the one Frodo has, why not just literally walk straight into Mordor and use the new ring of power on Sauron and just control him?
If cirith ungol is in the game, there will surely be a shelob Easter egg at minimum, hopefully an actual appearance
one word: Balrog
what I want to know is will there be caragath?
But will there be caragaths tho?
It looks cool but from the footage I have a feeling that there will be several smaller open world maps and not one big interconnected one. And you will most likely have to run around all of them unlocking towers and collecting collectibles... hope they surprise me and use less of the ubisoft open world formula not more of it.
Im so hyped for this game looks like they have raised the bar after Shadow of Mordor
about to play shadow of mordor again. can't wait for this game
I cant wait to get my hands on this juicy piece of stake
Robert Williams juicy piece of drake
LMAO... OK that was good
I really hope they bring back the Caragaths, from the Lord of the Hunt dlc, from the first game
that guy's surname is Tyrrell. it seems that lady olena isn't alone
Would be awesome if we can brand some Balrogs at the end of the game..
No it wouldn't.
Drakengard Lair: Shadow of Panzer Dragoon
That is cool and all, but can we have like 1 hour with just gameplay plz?
DolanTheProDuck how bout you just wait till the game comes out
ZenakuShinigami already pre-ordered the game, but the hype is real! You gonna get the game?
DolanTheProDuck idk i liked the first one but the animations and graphics look very unpolished
+ZenakuShinigami "ALPHA GAMEPLAY" It's in the bottom right of the screen. Quite obvious.
Salty Alpaca yeah but no game company is gunna show off a bad product. They only say alpha so they can trick people into thinking the game is gunna be better than it looks in the trailer but it never is. "Quite obvious"
OMG Exactly what I wanted to know! Thanks a lot IGN ,Now I'm insanely hyped for the game!
does those drake exist in the lore of Lotr ?
I hope they add nvidia hairworks or something. It would work great for this. Especially on the ice graugs.
This looks great. However, where are the ghouls from Shadow of Mordor?
sure a drake is a huge power and mobility spike but it costs you stealth, and the drake is not that small a target
Throws BIG rock at the drake. Drake doesn't even get a scratch....
One beast to rule them all.
A few creature? I only saw 4 and 3 of em we already know
Why i can't buy it on pre order?Says:Incorret address(and other things)in PlayStation Store (I'm a brasilian trying to buy this since 1 month
Spash 1098 oh,so i don't will get the limited items....
Spash 1098 im brasilian sorry
let me try again:so i won't will get the pre order items,right?
Spash 1098 like a amazon shop or something?ok thanks.
I guess we have a good substitute for Scalebound now.
So the fire breath destroys barrels and cages... but doesn't set those straw huts aflame????
i hope there will be mumakils in the game
ragure What are mumakils?
the giant elephants
Cant wait for this games, Im a big fan of Game of Thrones
it the lord of the ring dude you on are different game series . but shadow of war is too badass so mistake is forgive
ACEO SEVEN I know the difference between those two but I don't think he does I watch Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings they're really different
ACEO SEVEN sweet we are on the same page then
The Witness Are you making a joke?
>LOTR video
>"I'm a big fan of game of thrones"
You fokking wot m8
how big is the map compared to witcher 3 etc
Twice as big.
Hears you can summon drakes and aggressively throws money at the screen.
Lord of the Rings: Monster Hunter
Matthew Lui YES!!
please tell me there are wargs this time around >-
So Ice graug = Yeti?
god please let the drakes be able to land and actually WALK! *_*
also itll be really cool to see some armour like a real saddle or something like this on beasts
They should really make those drakes fly faster and make it more realistic and challenging imo
1:06 Daenerys would hate Talion if he was her enemy
