    Looks like Assassin's Creed with additions.

    Apparently more people feel it looks like AC2. More about that here. In short, former AC2 lead accuses Monolith of using AC2 code.

    Can your character fall in love with the unique personality of an orc, too? Now that would be innovative.

    Update from Monolith dev here:

    I do find this kind of hard to believe:


    Quote

    Middle-earth: Shadows of Mordor design director Michael de Plater has said an Assassin's Creed vibe "definitely wasn't something we were consciously going for".

    The vertical climbing is eerily similar More so than the combat I think.

    Indeed. For me its entirely the climbing, the other aspects like fighting has completely different anims, only the air assassination looks vaguely similar.

    Never played any AC game - so this being in middle earth makes me interested!

    How can someone talk about "stolen code" this easily, have Ubi employees moved to Monolith? There are no links between the companies and the publisher is different, how could you do such thing... decompile? FFS, that's some heavy accusation, I don't think that imitating an avatar's behaviour/moves is so difficult, if that's your priority, but that's totally different than "having my code in there" :-|

    And i don't think that such an outburst reflects well on Capybara Games.


    Anyway, finally a LOTR game looking good, i could never care about the MMOs. I hope the AC similarities end on the animations, cos for as nice as AC was, i never wanted to play any of the sequels. Parkour is definitely the best thing in there, i actually have popped the game back in some lazy afternoons, just to enjoy freerunning for some half hours.

    If Peter Molyneux was working on the game, maybe! ;P

    I tired AC and AC II...just wasn't for me so I bailed on all the rest of the games. However, the setting for AC IV brought me back and after being patient with it I'm finding I like it more and more.


    As for this LotR Mordor game...well, it really does feel like Mordor Creed or Assassin's Mordor based on what I've seen, but actually that has me more interested in this now, especially since I'm not a hard core LotR fan but just a fan of the movies. In other words, I couldn't give to shits about the inevitable nitpicking that's going to go on around this game.

    So you get different powers depending on where you buy the game... That's so fucked up!
