Luseth 1,930 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 When this was announced I thought it really odd, it's a game no one has ever asked for. Gollum has never been a particularly exciting character and whilst sneaking games have a place if you are going to be in the lord of the rings world you want to be killing hundreds of orcs, knocking them off castle walls and all that stuff. Â That said I wouldn't be surprised if the two towers and return of the king games get remade at some point. IRaMPaGe and J4MES OX4D 2 Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 10,023 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Just realised this game is made by Daedalic Entertainment - they've really dropped the ball with this one as most of their games are of really good quality from design to execution.  22 hours ago, Luseth said: When this was announced I thought it really odd, it's a game no one has ever asked for.

I'm gonna guess they wanted a piece of the LOTR licence but weren't willing to pay top dollar for a premium part of it so they instead got themselves some cast-off portion of it. Bit like how the Vampire Masquerade and Warhammer IP's have their licences wide open now but at varying costs. They're definitely not gonna make a return on this that's for sure! IRaMPaGe and Luseth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J4MES OX4D 10,023 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Daedalic are shutting down their developer-portion of the studio and laying off a third of staff after this disaster. They will focus solely on publishing going forward. Real shame as they were perfectly capable of maklng games but I will never understand why they made this turd. It was doomed as a concept even on paper. IRaMPaGe and GazzaGarratt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly a decision early on in the development switched the game direction and most devs surely wouldn't have been happy releasing this game in the state it is in. Now they also get to lose their jobs on top of that. Super tough industry when decisions that impact the game probably happened 2-4 years ago.
