>The Lord of the Rings – Gollum follows the story of Sméagol's corruption through the One Ring To Rule Them All. The narrative-driven action-adventure title promises to remain true to the original lore, but also will explore "new events and details related to Gollum's journey."
Gollum is getting his own game.

Literally can’t even finish one sentence before contradicting themselves. This is going to be Shelob all over again. Place your bets on Gollum’s extended backstory now: trans, otherkin, or unsung hero?

Black elves.

So every Japanese game ever

I think they just mean lore-friendly, ie not Shadow of Mordor.

Ultra faggot that killed his lover, goes on adventures with the ring for a little while, become a faggot again with another man, things goes to shit and said faggot is why gollum goes full retard recluse

All the Nazgul are male, and the races in the east and south resemble the ones in the middle east of our world, not China.

was Gollum an incel?

What the fuck, man.

I like the game and love a lot of its concepts but man, at this point it's being held back by the LOTR license

u wot

The whole point to Gollum is not being Gollum.
Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? It's going to end up being a Styx game without combat and random annoying panic attacks. It's also going to end up cancelled.

>It's also going to end up cancelled.

GOLLUM... !! GOLLUM... !!

What kinda lore friendly game would you wanna see?

when was the last good LotR game?
asking for a friend

Something like War in the North. Simple, fun, don't mess with the lore, can be enjoyed by hardcore fans of Tolkien and normies; just a party of random warriors killing orcs.

I liked the concept of Lotr:C, but the game was far from lore friendly with a fucking OP mage class and invisible assassins.
So another go at that genre would be welcomed.

Battle for middle earth 2 the witch king returns

A game where you play as Feanor and you press buttons to "muh silmarils" and light yourself on fire.

Didn't they already show the entirety of his story in those first 10 minutes of the first movie? And in the books I don't think it even manages to go for a full chapter

>action adventure game on Sméagol's corruption
>ACTION
>on Sméagol's fuckass long, slow & lonely corruption
>true to lore
If it was really going to be lore-accurate it would be the most boring game ever made. Why even make something focused on Gollum? Is he going to take on Nazgul as he escapes Barad-dur? Fuck this shit and all idiots driving this license further to the ground.

>trans, otherkin, or unsung hero?
Daedalic did some SJW stuff in the past, A new Beginning for example but it's not on that level you are implying.
They had no degeneracy in their 4 Deponia games (unless it was for a joke), they had non in their 4 The Dark Eye games and Silence and the Long Journey Home where SJW-free. Daedalic just wants to make crappy games autists like me enjoy. That's all.

An open world RPG set sometime during early third age so you can write the story more freely

>Action Gollum game
Only way to do a Gollum game would be a stealth/survival game

I'd love to see some kind of adaption off the Silmarillion. The real shit goes down in that book; LOTR is the sad ending and transition era of magic and Elves and all that DBZ-tier cool shit.

Game about defeating ancalagon the black. A bit like shadow of the colossus, but the entire game is devoted to bringing down a single dragon the size of a mountain.

Anything related to the Lord of the Rings that isn't Tolkien's books or writings is blasphemous and should not exist.

Mount & blade style game, set during the second age. Early game is Numenoreans colonizing middle earth, elves fighting Sauron as he reveals himself after the forging of the rings, dwarves mostly keeping to themselves if they accept the rings and growing insanely richer. No stupid magic, healing spells & fireballs. Natural resources & military supplies (lembas being the best but expensive to make at high production maybe?) are important. End game is mustering the biggest army possible while under Gil-Gallad & Elendil and sieging Barad-dur. If playing a Numenorean, you would have a choice: follow Elendil or Ar-Pharazon. If the later you survive the akallabeth and become the leader of the black numenoreans, settling in Umbar (or elsewhere if you so choose), ally with Sauron and duke it out against the Last Alliance army.

Sounds pretty good my man

This.

>two of the Nazgul are chinese women

Cont. Or set in Belleriand during the siege of Angband, after Gondolin was founded. Mid-game would be to build up your settlements, forces, populations and ressources while fighting the occasional orc party becoming more and more numerous as time passes, making Alliances with the humans & dwarves that appear from the east from time to time. Endgame is Dagor Bragollach: survive Glaurung, Gothmog and his Balrogs, nonstop stream of orcs. Final boss: you play as Fingolfin battling Morgoth. Dlc: Fall of Gondolin.

Who exactly wants this shit?

>No stupid magic, healing spells & fireballs
Im still amazed how much magic seemingly gets stuffed into every Lotr game, even though Tolkien magic is supposed to be subtle with only a handful of people using it

It's gonna be depressing as shit

Oh god, why would they keep releasing these shit games? Who own the license?

>Promises to be true to the lore
Lol, I have burned twice by Shadow of Mordor

>Devs: We really want to be respectful with the lore. You won't be fighting Sauron as the final boss or anything
>Sauron is literally the final boss
>Devs: A lot of people were upset with our treatment of the lore in the first game. We are being much mores respectful this time around
>You forge a second ring of power, become a rong wraith, and Celimbrimbor merges with Sauron

Gollum will definitely have had a gay lover at some point. Probably his friend that he killed over the ring.

Midde-Earth is ancient Europe. There weren't chinks.

Gollum traveled to the mountains and then lived in a pitch black cave eating cavefish and the occasional goblin for centuries. There's nothing to be said.

Also, and even worse:

>Daedalic

Just make it a smaller, humbler tale without implications for all Middle Earth like the Hobbit was. Why can't we just play a Hobbit who has to travel across Middle-Earth to save his friend or something. Not everything needs to be about slaying Sauron and Rings of Power

Even the films were mostly a happy accident. Remember Arwen was going to be at Helm's Deep until the fan outcry got loud enough.

Christopher is ancient and senile now, and in poor health. He doesn't have the will to keep up the fight, and Tolkien's grandkids are more than happy to sell him out for a quick dollar.

Didn't gollum basically just sit in a cave for centuries until Bilbo came along?

There are only a few ways to make a good Middle-Earth game now: focus on the original stories of the Silmarils and the Sons of Fëanor; the Fall of Gondolin; or a new IP set to the South or East and not reveal any connections to LotR until well into the game.

A Kingdom Come style game where you are just a minor lord in a small region of Gondor with a localized plot could work really well. You could even set it in the War of The Ring, and just tell the tale of how some understaffed, backwater castle was able to repel a horde of Uruks or something.

Yawn

fuck off zoomers with your shitty meme
I really miss telltale. At least they made games with creative settings.
Not every story game need to be rpg grind or THIRD PERSON SHOOTER

>and random annoying panc attacks

>what has it got in its lootboxes?

Who the hell wants to play as Gollum?

Disgraceful
