idk, i think conquest would have been great if not rushed and they took a few more months to a year to develop it further it was still kinda fun for me, being a big Lotr fan, it was just lacking in some areas. this would have been great as well if EA didnt pussy out, biggest game let down of all time for me :(
fuck e.a.... they made conquest!?!? they would have earned a lot of money from the white council... since they decided to be mother fuckers... they release fuckin conquest instead of white council.. i like conquest very much but the white council could have been bettter ;(
@TubesOfRed Skyrim ring a bell ? i hope Bethesda just decide to make a LOTR RPG, todd howard would know what to do, but that's unlikely, EA really did screw this up. They could have created the best game with the White Council, but decided to make Conquest which was ok but the online is already gone.
Well you guys should know that MERP is being developed on Oblivion. It's a total conversion of Oblivion to the LotRverse, so look it up if you have Oblivion.
EA made a stupid mistake by not letting this become a final product. Apparently it was due to management incompetency.
@55555bob Yeah it would have sold waaaayyy more than Elder Scrolls. Cause of all of the The lord of the Rings fans and the Oblivion fans that like lotr too.
Actually It Is... EA Said There Was Mangement Problems, So They Decided To Create Conquest Instead With Pandemic Studios.. Turned Out To Be A Great Hit =)
well ur right.. i had heard about that but didnt believe it till now i googled and found out.. damn it would have been a great game... - with sources close to EA stating the project had been shut down due to "management issues."
oops.. after that i found this thought "The Lord of the Rings product is back in development in terms of being on hold. - this was said after bla bla in 1st comment.. who knows they might pick it up again sometime.. well i hope..
Oh hell no! UNLESS YOU PLAY AS A MAIAR MAGIC SHOULD BE REMOVED, CONQUEST DID THIS SHIT WITH THE MAGE CLASS AND IT'S AGAINST TOLKIENS LORE IN EVERY WAY.
Originally planned for a 2007 release, The Lord of the Rings: The White Council was put on indefinite hold late in development. The product may be put back into production at some point in the future, but it currently seems unlikely that the game will ever be released.
An RPG from the makers of The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. In the game, the action takes place in a massive open world where you can go anywhere you want, with a story built around a series of Story Quests that players can choose to journey through in any order.
a lord of the rings game , should be just like oblivion , whith a huge scenery , just like oblivion , but whith jrr tolkien 's world, the middle earth ,
Not Oblivion. Oblivion was shit as, huge world that was all the same, nothing different, lame AI and boring storyline combined with stupid encounters. If they make anything like that with LOTR, it will be a failure.
No Morrowind owns Oblivion in every way that matters,especially with all of the mods availiable for the pc version.Only thing better in Oblivion is the three or so voice actors,the graphics,and the character animations.Oh and havok.That is all.
yeah but guys dont forget there are still two more lotr movies coming out in 2011 and 2012 god knows what excelent games will be created on lord of the rings after that :)
but yeah i hope the same thing just as long as you don't play as a hero :P...i hate hero's to overrated i would prefer to play as a normal troop :) thats why conquest is alright
hmm sounds neat...except its not gonna b released i dont think...btw another LOTR game has been announced cant remember name its like lord aragon, aragon's quest idk something like that but dont get too excited its a PG and aimed for kids around 5-12
My Dream RPG is a L.O.T.R. game set like Oblivion free roam with a huge map the size of middle earth yet it would be even sweeter if it had a Silmarillion story.
Bah, the creation has been postponed, not cancelled but its highly unlikely that the game will be made, for there are no news on the ea site or even unofficial ones. Its quite ridiculous that there are no RPG games based on the lotr universe, in my humble opinion its the best subject of an RPG game ever.
And now they released the LOTR conquest game wich is just like Star Wars battlefront only set in the LOTR universe god that game sucked got it yesterday and allready beat it.
hi guys there is a lord of the rings game coming out its called LOTR Conquest on ps3 360 and pc. it looks cool! from the creators of battlefront. But what i want to know is, is LOTR the white council going to come out in the future sometime or has it been cancelled thanks
well everyone after a lot of research and hours of mountain dew i have found out that the game is NOT i repeat NOT cancelled it is planned to release in early 09 and its ONLY on the pc and xbox 360 i repeat IS coming out only on the xbox and pc i cant wait XD....................nobody better be a killjoy either cause i know im right i looked at over 146 sites to get my info and it is releasing
well I hate to say it... but yuour wrong about it being only for 360 and PC... it was one of the original game ideas for PS3, but it got delayed thats all, it will be for 360, PC, and PS3
this game is rumored to be cancelled. still i hope they can still do it cuz im a HUGE LotR fan and I reaaally wanna play this, a LorT rpg in wich u can do basically whatever u want! (besides LotR online, so i mean a console one)
the game IS coming out and by the looks of it, it'll be a great one too. It is in developement again but i think it might come out in late 08 or possibly early 09...i simply cannot wait that long! but i'll buy the game when it comes out nontheless...
this game is gonna be the best game of all times!...and the games release date is 31 of mars 2008....and yes it is gonna come out... they just had problems (or something) so they just psponed it.
No. Fucking. Way. It's actually coming out? Dude! This was one of the only next gen games I was looking forward to! Holy damn YES! I can't wait to cut up some orcs and shit.
That sounds awesome for the sound. I hope this game turns out to be more than just another movie tie in with no substance or replayability. LOTR, father of RPGs, and it doesnt have a decent video game RPG out there!!!
