The Lord of the Rings: War in the North (360/PS3/PC)

[Adam]

Didn't see a thread for this, here's a new trailer for combat/weapons



Looking forward to this, great people behind it and the movie licence is going to make this great. More at http://www.warinthenorth.com/

This is from the guys that did the 'Dark Alliance' games on the PS2 isn't it? Had half an eye on it for a while now...

[Shoju]

Yeah the same guys. I've been looking out for this too and it's one of a number of hack and slash rpg's coming out leading up to the return of the king - Diablo 3!

Interview with the games composer Inon Zur (Dragon Age, Fallout, Prince of Persia)

Wish I could attend the E3 performance...

['Press Start']

Wow I dismissed this as some generic LOTR game but it's looking good! Some real talent behind it too! did I see co-op in the video too?

[Adam]

Due out later this year for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, the game offers up to three player coop. In it you take on the role of one of three heroes, an Elven Lore-master, a Dwarven Champion or a Dunedain Ranger. The game can be played offline with bots, or a friend, online with friends or bots, or in a bunch of different combinations.

Dark Riders, Prancing Pony, Aragorn, Eagles, Boner!

Wow. I know this might be spamming but I am seriously impressed! Why do I think my craving for (REAL) Golden Axe in 3D will be cured by this?

Some real (short) gameplay footage, with the HUD.

As a fan of LotR, Dark Alliance and hack n' slash RPGs in general, this looks like a must-buy for me.

They just keep the vids coming, so excited for this!

[Guts]

Sweet, looks like there'll be decapitations and flying orc arms/legs. Going to be good fun in co-op with friends and a few beers. This has 3 player co-op, correct? Can 3 people play on the same console or is it through Live only?

[Ajay1986]

Looks a lot better than I expected, I love LOTR so I'm hoping this does this doesn't turn out crap.

Looks awesomely good, can't wait.

Just wish they would hurry and announce the PC requirement specs, so I know whether to pre-order PC or PS3.
