14 DAY TRIAL // Michael de Plater, the game director working on Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, says that his entire team is focused on creating the best possible experience on the Xbox One from Microsoft and the PlayStation 4 from Sony.
He tells IGN that, “some of the stuff we’re pretty confident will still be very similar on current gen: the core mechanics, like combat, stealth, ranged and movements; the basic control and gameplay, that should all be really solid. What it won’t have is the same level of depth and variety and simulation within the ‘Nemesis system’.”
It’s unclear if the team plans to add any sort of extra content on current-gen consoles to compensate for the lack of Nemesis features.
The system is designed to make certain characters remember past player actions in order to adapt their own tactics in the future, creating more challenging experiences and a deeper universe.
