Codemasters secures LOTR MMO

gay

GAH, they just don't get it..... The ubiquity of the EA published Lord of the Rings games has cemented its franchise with the material. I think Turbine is going to have a very difficult time trying to sway people away from games that use the Peter Jackson inspired visuals, sounds and other movie material. Like it or not, when people think about Lord of the Rings, the movie adaptation comes to mind immediately. And that includes in the game world. This is going to be a hard sell.

lotr mmo... sounds fun, but how can anything beat WoW?

tolkein is one of the original inspirations for role playing so it is only fitting that there should be a mmo, the problem is, do you guys think they are making a LOTR MMO because they have a good gameplay idea, or because of the popularity of the lincense right now.

It's made from Turbine which they made the best game ever, Asheron's Call, so no doubt this is going to be awesome. To bad I'm playing WoW now.

IT should be a Good one:D

Hopefully this turns out good, but the fact that Turbine is working on it, and that games based on other media haven't equalled their sources seems to make me think it'll be bad.

Wait, doesn't EA make all the LOTR games? I've never played Battle for Middle Earth, is that a MMORPG?

I think the market is saturated with MMO.

Man this game is going to KICK ASS!

World of Warcraft is pulling in so many players/money they have the rest of the industry drooling at the mere thought of having a succesful MMO. Getting a "great" MMO on Consoles would be nice (hint).

Cool, but I'm more into the LOTR action games. After Return of the King, I stopped playing them. (LOTR Games.)

the last LOTR rpg sucked. hope this one turns out to be good.

whats with all the MMO's suddenly?

yay for codemasters, my fav. under the radar develeper.

WOHOO!!!!! IVE BEEN TRACKING THIS GAME FOR YEARS NOW (REALLY) awesome!!

Hmmmm ... Turbine better pull this one off. I can't imagine they'd close the AC2 servers if they weren't a bit strapped for dough. We know they've got the art direction, but do they have the content creation skills? Time will tell ...

It could be good. Battle for middle earth was good so i dont see why this can not also be.

Most of these MMO games based off of other games/books/movies/whatever are doomed to fail from the start.

Ooo...could be good if they don't screw with the license too much... : )

It never ceases to amaze me how many hands games pass through before they arrive in ours.

it might just be a good game
