Really enjoyed the original and will buy this. Probably in a sale though as i have too many other games to play.

Nice. Enjoyed Shadow of Mordor a lot. I just hope they make the new one less repetitive.

I've always felt game pads were better for these type of games.

Agreed. I can sit back in my chair and relax with these types of games (Batman series and Tomb Raider others) as opposed to twitch style shooters, where I am muck at quick aiming and need M+K

I don't see any difference between this and the original. That said, I did enjoy the original.

Agreed!

Yer, towards the end of the first, I was forcing myself through, more than wanting to play (if that makes sense) but I still pick it up from time to time and have a blast, as I do like the combat, even if it is a bit easy and repetitive.

Lack of environments was a shame in the first but apparently a lot more this time round so that's definite plus!

The original just crashes on me randomly these days

Could never complete it.

It's been delayed until October 10th.

V F · 1 Jun 2017 at 18:44

Must be the textures etc as the action looks flat as well as the characters.

Dirk Diggler · 1 Jun 2017 at 18:49

Good. Rather it be delayed and be great than be released and be a disaster.

This.

Honestly don't think I could handle another broken game on release....

Recently purchased the first game from PSN for £11.99 as the Steam version on my PC runs like a stuttering dog ever since I upgraded my GPU.
Forgot how enjoyable the game was but yes it is a tad crashy on my Pro. I've had about 4 lockups in random spots with 14hrs played. Currently just walking around like a god killing everything now before doing most of the early main game quests.

I'm avoiding the videos for the second game so I hope the Nemesis system is still there as well as more varied environments. Hope we get a character as awesome as Ratbag again!

Odd, it is crashing on your PS4 Pro?

Kainz · 1 Jun 2017 at 20:31

Yeah. I was expecting it though - WB games haven't always been the best optimised or robust. I was expecting some lockups on the pro but otherwise it supersamples nicely to 1080p.

V F · 1 Jun 2017 at 22:38

Strange. The game I think has been flawless for me. Saying that I'm just on a regular PS4 but I don't ever recall there being an issue.

New trailer focusing on the "story" rather than gameplay.

MissChief · 8 Jun 2017 at 14:45

That looks awesome. A better flow and story than the first game. Fighting Nazgul's and the Balrog? It's gonna be AMAZING. I hope.

Ohhhhhhh! It is getting darker.

I'm actually glad it is coming out in October as it makes sense to have a dark atmosphere game being released near Halloween.

The original game is being updated so that you can carry your best/worst followers and enemies into the new game.
