Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor announced for next-gen/current-gen, featured in latest Game Informer

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to deliver an original, dark story of retribution in third-person action game

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor , a next-generation, third-person action game set in Middle-earth that explores an original story of vengeance and redemption. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is in development for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.

In Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, gamers take on the role of Talion, a valiant ranger whose family is slain in front of him the night Sauron and his army return to Mordor, moments before his own life is taken. Resurrected by a Spirit of vengeance and empowered with Wraith abilities, Talion ventures into Mordor and vows to destroy those who have wronged him. Through the course of his personal vendetta, Talion uncovers the truth of the Spirit that compels him, learns the origins of the Rings of Power and ultimately confronts his true nemesis.

“In Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, players will explore the dark and very personal theme of vengeance in a world where decisions have a consequence, and those consequences persist even after death,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The game introduces new gameplay mechanics to the action genre, creating opportunities for emergent and customized gameplay that will be rewarding for players.”

Every enemy that players face is a unique individual, differentiated by their personality, strengths and weaknesses. Through the Nemesis System, enemy relationships and characteristics are shaped by player actions and decisions to create personal archenemies that remember and adapt to the player and are distinct to every gameplay session. Gamers are able to craft their own battles, enemies and rewards within the dynamic world that remembers and adapts to their choices, delivering a unique experience to every player.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is under development by Monolith Productions. The team has collaborated with Middle-earth Enterprises, Peter Jackson and the artists at Weta Workshop to ensure that the settings, characters and story align authentically within canon.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor details

Details from Game Informer’s Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor cover story have emerged. You can find a detailed summary, courtesy of NeoGAF, below.

-Every enemy has a name, rank and memory. If you don’t kill them in an encounter for whatever reason they will remember you later on and change their tactics, not only getting stronger in level but learning new immunities. Enemy dialogue changes because of your previous encounters as well.

-Enemies have their own jobs to do and their AI allows them to do certain things on their own. For example an Orc you have to kill may be dueling another at one point or he may be doing whatever his higher ranking officer assigned him to do. It all progresses in real time with or without your interference.

-If an enemy kills you in battle you don’t “die” in the traditional sense. You do eventually respawn but time in the world passed (they didn’t say how long). During this time the enemy that killed you was likely promoted because of him killing you or he could have been killed somehow (like losing one of the duels I mentioned above).

-If your objective is to kill a high ranking warlord you can do it in several ways. One way would be chipping away at everyone under his rank and either killing them or making them become “agents” for you which will enable you to launch ambushes on their base or possibly even assassinate the warlord by making his 2nd in command your agent. However it’s not guaranteed, the 2nd in command can fail and be killed but he may have partial success as well which takes a chunk of the warlord’s health away to make your battle easier.

-The combat seems like it takes cues from the Batman games. They mentioned there was a rhythm to it and you get to keep a combo multiplier going.

-It’s fully open world so it has all of the stuff you’d expect. XP, skills, sidequests, random events (hell the whole game is basically a random event with that nemesis system and the AI working on their own even when enemies aren’t on screen).

-You get to use normal melee combat, stealth with a dagger or ranged with a bow. How you level those up depends on what you took the target out with. A stealth kill will get you a special rune to use on stealth skills, direct combat will get you a melee rune and so on.

《中土世界：魔多阴影》对指环王小说“充满敬意”

首席编剧Christian Cantamessa向玩家承诺，他们的新游戏不会偏离托尔金笔下的世界太远。

Cantamessa在接受媒体采访时表示，“我们希望对小说原作表示出十足的敬意，我们的作品灵感来源于小说，但同时也有自己的理解。”

这款游戏在星期二正式公布的时候，Monilith工作室就已经声明，他们已经与中土集团，《指环王》电影导演彼得杰克逊进行合作，“保障所有场景，角色和故事线都与已有的作品保持一致。”不过他们究竟进行了什么样的合作，进行到哪种程度，他们没有公布。

以往的《指环王》游戏大多根据托尔金笔下的具体人物或事件改编，但《魔多阴影》展现的则是《霍比特人》结束到《魔戒》三部曲开始之前的中间这段时间的一段原创故事，引入了一个新角色Talion和他的复仇故事。

关于扩展写作，设计总监Michael de Plater向Gameinformer表示，Monolith对这样一个续写传奇故事的机会感觉受宠若惊。

“托尔金的原作非常令人震惊，他把所有细节事件都考虑到了，同时还保留了巨大的再创作空间，允许其他人用自己的想象力对某个事件进行演绎。”

《中土世界：魔多阴影》将面向Xbox 360，Xbox One，PS3，PS4和PC，不会登陆Wii U，目前尚未公布发售日期。

　　 《中土世界：魔多阴影》将只提供单人游戏模式，这意味着游戏将不会包括多人或者合作模式。游戏的开发商Monolith在推特上确认了这则消息，同时也确认游戏目前没有Wii U版本。

　　 《中土世界：魔多阴影》将于今年晚些时候登陆PS4,PS3,Xbox One,Xbox360和PC。Monolith在去年年末放出了游戏的首张截图，随后公布了随机生成的宿敌系统，理论上，让任何你碰到的兽人都成为你的敌人。Monolith将在本周晚些时候放出游戏的更多细节。

零售商泄密 《中土世界：魔多阴影Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor》8月29发售

　　据英国Gamestop网站泄露的信息来看，华纳旗下黑暗风格《指环王》系列新作《中土世界：暗影魔多》将会在今年的8月29日正式发售，登陆PC，PS3，XBOX360和XBOXONE平台，不过PS4版本却被标明发售时间未知。在《中土世界：魔多阴影》中，玩家将扮演一位名叫塔里昂的游侠，他亲人被索伦杀害，自杀后获得了亡灵力量，开始找寻索伦及其军团复仇，预定登陆PS4，Xbox One，PS3，Xbox360，PC平台。

《中土世界：魔多阴影》敌人拥有高智商

　　最近，英国PlayStation官方杂志发表了《中土世界：魔多阴影》的游戏设计师迈克尔·德·普莱特（Michael de Plater）对游戏的一些看法。在文章中，普莱特谈到了游戏复杂的对手AI系统，并承诺大家将会在本作中遭遇到前所未有难缠的兽人和其他生物。

普莱特发言道：

　　“老实说，总有一天我们会在该作中看到大家以前从未见过的要素。拥有了复仇系统的敌人将会拥有多样的个性，根据其个性的不同，他们会选用不同的方式与你对话、与你交战，并在见面后记住每位玩家对他们做过什么，这样一来玩家与敌人每一次的遭遇都会影响到下一个关卡。这是非常独特且令人难忘的游戏体验，每一次遇敌都将成为难忘的时刻。”

　　玩家与有些敌人的互动可能会演变成冗长的仇杀，如果你输了一场战役，你的敌人也会记得你过去的遭遇。玩家可以通过与敌人们的一系列相遇来创造属于自己的独特故事。看到敌人记得你们以前的遭遇并根据自己的个性而作出不同的反应，这会使得整个世界更加生动鲜活。”

　　本作的故事设定在《霍比特人》和《魔戒》系列之上，并且发生在魔多成为魔君索伦的领地之前，这也意味着游戏开场时这里还是一片绿色植物覆盖的世界。普莱特还补充道：

　　“游戏拥有平衡性和对比度是非常重要的，我们在考察后认为故事开始设定在这一时期比较有趣。末日火山还在休眠状态，巴拉多还是一片废墟，人们也还生活在魔多地区。这是过去和未来的分界点，大家将能看到魔多地区在索伦到来前后的巨大改变。而玩家将作为英雄来你帮助人类，并在索伦大军再次来临时拯救这片土地。”

　　《中土世界：魔多阴影》将在不久之后登陆PC、PS3、Xbox360、Xbox One与PS4平台，但普莱特此前曾表示，华纳兄弟公司会将重点放在PS4和Xbox One平台版本上。
