Reading the wikipedia description of the game's plot, it sounds like the target audience is console tardos.
| Quote: | The game takes place between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings, as written by J.R.R. Tolkien.[1] The family of ranger Talion is killed by Sauron's armies, and he himself is also killed, but soon revived with "wraith-like abilities" and heads to Mordor to exact his revenge.[3] Mordor is not yet a barren wasteland in this story.[4]
The story involves the Rings of Power, but the story is separate to The Lord of the Rings canon. However, Warner Bros. maintains that the stories will align.[3] The player will encounter Gollum in the game, discovering that Talion and Gollum have a lot in common.[2] |
Sounds very tolkien-like.

This read like some teenage drama; NORMAL GUY, FAMILY DEAD, YOU DEAD, GET REVIVED WITH SUPA POWERS, REVENGE, MURRIKA.

Why bother making Tolkien games if they aren't even going to stick to the lore. I guess it's impossible to create one that doesn't include limited magic, "wraith-like abilities" or other nonsense.

More like this shitty Ass Creed combat system. Based on counters.

It looks like it could be interesting enough in terms of gameplay.
But then I find it hard to look past the fact that their made up bullshit is going to produced under Tolkien's name. This is even worse than that "Syndicate" FPS and it doesn't even FIT the fucking lore in any way (Soul Reaver would've been more fitting)

Looks fun, but I still can't get over the fact that the hero gets lore-breaking superpowers for no good reason.

Exactly, if he was just a normal Ranger, carrying out missions behind enemy lines, using cunning, guile, blackmail, torture, straight up combat, that would have been awesome.
This is just Assassins Creed in Middle Earth.
Even the wraith vision is almost a 1:1 copy of the Eagle visio xD

This is not lore differences. This is plain and pure butchering for the sake of having a connection to LotR to attract attention. It does not fit in any way. Same shit they did with Syndicate.
This is like someone taking AC and making the protagonist a shapeshifter that turns into a flying shark because, you know, the word eagle was mentioned in the lore. Totally legit. |

The only part of that video that didn't look like regurgitated mediocrity was the whole enemy-linking/tracking system.
However, I'm sure it'll end up being a shallow and poorly utilized system. It takes time and effort to make something like that work on a deep level, and it's obvious their time was spent watching Assassin's Creed Let's Plays.

Random copy-pasta generic AAA 3rd person action game represents!
Same parkour style as AC, uninspired combat, eagle vision with hand-holding and "look here! you're a retard" interface, nextgen mehsauce at its finest. Could still be somewhat passable, assuming that it will be possible to disable these aspects and/or use different approaches.
But still, what a wasted opportunity, innovation where are thou. Can't comment on the LOTR-related business as I'm not expert on the subject, and anything is fine to me as long as the gameplay doesn't suck.

It really really sadens me that whenever we get a LOTR game it's just from people who are out to make a quick buck.
