This game looks awesome
Seems like they are staying very very close to tolkiens material.Mordor is not yet a barren wasteland in this story.

Prince of Persia meets Arkham Asylum meets Assassin's Creed.
Would be nice to play a decent LOTR game for once.

What do you mean "meets meets meets"? It's just Assassin's Creed, period.Captain Mazda wrote:Prince of Persia meets Arkham Asylum meets Assassin's Creed.

"Seriously, can someone tell me how Assassin's Creed 2 code and assets are in this Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor game?” he asked.

OMGAH SO MUCH QUAKE 3 CODE IN CALL OF DUTY GAMES!!!
Licensing deals are exactly that. To be fair I clocked how similar it was to Assassins Creed it was too, but then it's an alpha build so getting it working and then putting your own stamp on things is the name of the game when you licence an engine?

Two of those elements were clearly ripped from Mario Bros.

So the only options for someone wanting to set something in Middle Earth is to essentially make up your own story.Invited to meet Peter Jackson, the Tolkien family preferred not to. Why? "They eviscerated the book by making it an action movie for young people aged 15 to 25," Christopher says regretfully. "And it seems that The Hobbit will be the same kind of film."
This divorce has been systematically driven by the logic of Hollywood. "Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his own popularity and absorbed into the absurdity of our time," Christopher Tolkien observes sadly. "The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing. There is only one solution for me: to turn my head away."

None of this will be in the game.

Yup. It does say alpha footage all over it....

It says "pre-alpha". And the combat, the only thing that might actually end up in it, looks boring and unsatisfying anyway.

so. no licensing then. just a wild coincidence.When asked about the influence of the Assassin's Creed games, de Plater replied:
"We didn't think much about them at all. We just wanted to do a third-person, open-world action adventure. And then now, just by the time you have stealth and melee combat and you're hunting guys behind enemy lines, the comparisons maybe come out at that point. It definitely wasn't something we were consciously going for."
