Shadow of War, a sequel to Shadow of Mordor announced, no word on Linux yet

By - | Views: 24,738

Shadow of War has been officially announced as a sequel to Shadow of Mordor. Hopefully Feral Interactive will grab the porting rights again here, as Shadow of Mordor was fantastic.

Check out the trailer:

Will keep my ear close to the ground on this one and keep you informed of any Linux push with it.

As a huge Lord of the Rings fan, I am extremely excited by it. I will still stick to my guns and say "no tux no bux", but for any other LotR fan this will be exciting news.

Considering Feral ported the original, they may still have good contacts to do this one too. This might be a good time to ask Feral to port it and what a coincidence, they just today asked for requests:

#THEREQUESTINATOR IS ON. Input your Mac, Linux or mobile game request and its chances will increase by exactly 13.37%. BZZT-BLIP. BING! pic.twitter.com/lhMnMYdoL2

I absolutely loved Shadow Of Mordor and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Linux port of this one.

that 13.37% made me lol. I will admit, Feral is leet indeed.
I do hope we see this game ported though, I really enjoyed Shadow of Mordor.

While I agree that all of these games are similar in mechanics, they each have flavor. It is the same argument that all RTS or FPS games are the same, just with different textures and story lines.

Mad Max is hoenestly the only game where I have liked it enough to try to get all the Achievements. I only have 10 left, and they are the racing ones.

Hopefully this one gets ported as well, I generally don't give a crap about skins, the fact companies charge 5 bucks for them at times, and that people pay for them disgusts me, but I have already ranted about that enough...

I'd be interested in some game in Silmarillion settings. And DRM-free of course.

It's great to see AAA titles landing on Linux and I hope this one makes it. That said, I gave up on SoM after 15 hours of unbelievably repetitive gameplay. And I've just checked - Mad Max got uninstalled after 19 hours. I didn't finish either.

Good entertainment, but the best games, gameplay-length wise, are rarely AAA. Of my top ten (in terms of hours played), I have three certified AAA (Skyrim, Borderlands 2 and Dying Light) and one maybe - Wasteland 2.

My top hitter is still Tales of Maj'Eyal, with 271 hours sunk. Then Killing Floor (250), then Insurgency (150).

Skyrim, thanks to Play on Linux, is the only Windows-only game I've played since 2013 - I think I've put about 30 Linux hours into that, bringing my total up to 130 hours.

No idea how people find time (or patience) to rack up thousands of hours in games.

That is the question. My most played game on Steam happens to be Mad Max at ~90h and I cannot imagine investing much more than that on a single game. I'm sure some online games take a lot more time and dedication, which is probably one reason I never properly got into any of them.

After about a hundred hours, I'm fed up with even the best single player games. Multiplayer is something different, you can always have different experiences when the opponents are humans.

Please please please let this come to Linux, I freakin' loved the first game, minus the crappy QTE final boss fight.

Quoting: BeamboomShadow Of Mordor came across to me as a patchwork with the custom skins that skipped to default skin in cutscenes. That was particularly stupid if you played with the female skin/model, like I did.
Eh, that's mainly because the cutscenes were pre-rendered. Honestly, I think that pre-rendered cutscenes should be pretty much dead at this point(aside from a few small cases).

I hope Feral relations with WB are still good after the Batman fiasco.
I definitely want to play this game on Linux !
