pbguy1211 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 The Game. The NEW Trailer! <- 67Mb mov file. Click the game link for smaller ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 That game looks freaking awesome. The problem I see is that you'll probably need a Pentium V processor @ 5.6 GHz, 4 GB DDR, and a 1 GB video card to run it smoothly. Other than that, it's great.

Snafu7 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 yeah, it looks like a great game, I read a preview for it a while ago, in a LotR edition, the in game actions looks like cutscenes. impressive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 well...actually Gamespy claims that it runs on the same system specs as C&C Generals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I've been waiting for this game a while. And I would assume the specs would be the same as CnC Generals since the same people are making BFME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 And it's the same engine. good thing they did with the infantry. They don't look crappy like in C&C Generals(seriously, I know it's the C&C reputation to have crappy undetailed infantry units but did they really have to do so?)

DarthMuffin Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 And the game looks so much better than the "war of the ring" RPG wannabe... And yeah, the units look really better than those in generals (US marines = weird guys with large sticks... bleh...) btw, do we know what the 4 sides are?

pbguy1211 Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Rohan, Gondor, Isengard and Mordor. Duh. And somehow you'll be able to call on Elves, Ents and other stuff for help. Initially I heard a rumor of no multiplayer ability, but that seemed a little bit of a stretch for an RTS. And with this franchise nonetheless. It's easy bank. But they are tweaking the multiplayer aspect at the moment. (Read that in an intv. somewhere with the producer). This appears to be the Witch-King of Angmar vs. Theoden on the fields of Pelennor! (though it's more like a 1 vs. 1, but you get the idea.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMuffin Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Originally posted by pbguy1211 Rohan, Gondor, Isengard and Mordor. Duh. You sure? Gondor and Rohan are not THAT different in the movies, as are Isengard and Mordor... I mean, an orc is an orc, and an uruk is an uruk! The designers will have a hard time at creating different units, especially for Isen and Mordor, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I guess I'm going to be even more interested in this game as I finish reading the Lord of the Rings. Yes, that's right, you saw correctly...READ, not REREAD...at last my shame is made public (again, reread the ROTK Review thread & I think I mentioned it there). I am reading it during the down time at work (which is considerable on saturdays) and have made it up to the Watchtower (chapter 11, "A Knife in the Dark"). And so you know, I started with The Hobbit, which I read fully in about 2 days, so I got all of the backstory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Don't feel bad Homer, I started reading the first one, but because of school, I haven't had time to read so I'm stuck when they meet Tom Bombadil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMuffin Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I'm not done with them either I actually started to read them after seeing the RotK movie. Right now, I'm in TTT, the chapter when gandalf rides to Edoras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 Ah... Where is the horse and the rider? You'll meet Erkenbrand of the Westfold and see how they chopped Eomer's role too. As far as Rohan and Gondor, they're COMPLETELY different! Especially in terms of fighting style. Isengard is all Uruks and worker orcs. Mordor would be like the Empire in terms of size and strength. they have everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I can't wait to try a demo of this game. It certainly looks the business, but the real test will be in the gameplay and interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 Well, it's supposed to be more of a LOTR game than a hardcore RTS game. You don't always have total control of a unit... Example: You have a Mumakil on a rampage... it gets shot a LOT... it runs all over and you lose control because it's hurt. Ex. #2: You have an Ent kicking butt... someone sets it on fire... it runs for water on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it sounds pretty good to me, and more realistic in the context of what's happening. Anyway, it would be great to see another Star Wars RTS using an engine like this one.
