After the highly successful debut of Shadow of Mordor, the developers at Monolith Productions are back with the highly anticipated sequel: Shadow of War, which is set in mythical world of the Lord of the Rings.
True but I didn't take it as they aren't treating other versions with respect....I just thought what he meant is that X1X is new to them so they ARE taking the time to utilize the extra power it has to make the best game they can, while the other platforms they are already familiar with so its more or less a known quantity of what they can deliver.
It won't be night and day between the pro and X1X versions but yeah X1X will be the best console version with both platforms pushing the hardware.
"After playing through Shadow of War’s preview version at E3 2017, it’s obvious that Monolith is treating it with great care and tremendous pride." That quote is from the article itself. The title is really a bit misleading. Yes it was previewed on the xbox one x, and all versions should be treated with great care and tremendous pride... i would have liked to have had that quote from the developer directly. I am a bit upset that i wasted the time reading that 'preview' but w.e. my bad for giving gamingbolt the click in the first place.
"Monolith Are Treating Shadow of War On Xbox One X With Great Care And Tremendous Pride". As opposed to what? Not great care and lack of pride? The same is probably true for all platforms. At the end of the day, more copies will be sold on PS4 as that has the largest install base. They will not put less effort into a platform where they stand to make a greater amount of revenue.
Happy to see that devs are enjoying developing on X. I know that's one of the main things Microsoft wanted to accomplish with the new box. Making devs happy inturns makes gamers happy because they get to play a better game that has less restrictions placed on it. Sounds like the Xbox version will be the one to get for consoles.
You also have to remember that Microsoft said that all games for the XB1x have to be playable on the XB1 so if a game looks really good on the XB1x and does not play and/or look all that good on the XB1 is really going to annoy around 30 million XB1 owners.
I would think these newer games will continue to look as they've always have on that hardware...in other words...solid. I don't see why 30 million or even 1 million would get upset at X's ability to play games better. Its a newer piece of technology sold at a higher price point. That would be like suggesting that PS4 Pro pissed off all the owners of the standard console...I don't see that as the case at all. Microsoft is simply giving gamers more options and different price points...
Are you serious? I don't, because the X1X will be a brand new console. That's common sense. But even if the X1X has better results, the PS4, PS4 Pro, and X1 will be where the majority of sells come from. That should be common sense also. The X1X won't even get a fraction of the sales the og X1 will get.
I really hope you don't believe that millions and millions of people are going to run out and buy an xbox1x for a minimal visual boast.
Well are they gonna make sure the PC port gets the same treatment? Favoring on a multiplat game is not always great for this not being favored. I just want to have an optimized game without bugs. I'm looking at you Arkham Knight.
This article literally had one sentence about the colors looking unreal on the X. Everything thing else spoke specifically about the game. Don't get me wrong I plan to get it for the new system, just the title made it seem like they were going to go in detail more about what is being done on the above mentioned system.
Yeah well. Tolkien wasn't keen on his work being used in other media to begin with. That animated movie pretty much turned him off completely. It's his heirs which sold the rights for movies and games, and god knows what else.
Personally, when it comes to Tolkien, I consider games in the universe more like fan fiction that shouldn't be looked at as part of his work. But at the same time, Tolkiens work was often not that descriptive about events and very dry, so some creative leeway should be given to make an interesting game.
This game though, the whole making an army of the dead does kind of go against how he handled such things in the book, where the dead weren't really part of this world unless kept here against their will due to whatever reason. I think they went a bit too far to make a feature and story.
Talk about clickbait. The article didn't have anything to do with X1X. The only thing he said was the game wasn't a dull as Shadow of Mordor.
Doesn't have any quotes or anything to suggest that Monolith is taking great care of the game specifically on the X1X. No comparisons made to the same game on X1, PS4 or PS4Pro.
Good to hear after so much hate against the X claiming that devs would not do things like this due to the PS4 having such a large install base that it would affect this type of support for the X in favor of appealing to Sony instead.

That's because there attempting to sell the next edition of a franchise that is played out, I don't care about Lord of the Rings, & I don't care about the games.
I suspect Im not the only 1 , & so how do you sell the NEXT Lord of the Rings Game?.....You pull out all the bells & whistles, what else are they gonna do?
Honestly it doesn't matter, its EA & this is what they do, make the same game over& over & over & over &over &over again.
Im sick of Lord of the Rings, it should have been retired LOooooong ago imo.
Really looking forward to this game. Loved the first one so much I bought it like 3 times. i got it on the Xbox one at launch then bought and replayed the game of the year edition because it has separate achievements than the vanilla version, then finally I bought the goty edition for like 5 bucks to try it out on the pro. Btw it looks and runs fantastic on the pro, maybe the best enhanced game on the system. It was on sale on the x1 for 4 bucks over the weekend. If anyone hasn't played it that is a steal for the goty edition and the dlc is actually pretty good. Its gonna be hard waiting on the 1x to play this, doubt I can. Just glad we are finally getting really good lord of the rings games.
Hmm based on the article title I was expecting to read how Monolith was going to use the extra gpu power for there game. But the article says nothing about that. So its pretty much going to be the same version as the PRO version.
Monolith seems hyped for any new brand new hardware that can help their games look better on console. I remember when the Pro was first revealed Mordor was one of the few games that had Pro support at launch.
Well thank you Monolith. I do appreciate your efforts as I plan on buying your game with said X1X.
Happy to see that devs are enjoying developing on X. I know that's one of the main things Microsoft wanted to accomplish with the new box. Making devs happy inturns makes gamers happy because they get to play a better game that has less restrictions placed on it. Sounds like the Xbox version will be the one to get for consoles.
definitive (console) multiplat version #1
Good stuff! The tech is there so use it I say!
But please put in the same dedication for the PC port 😁
I will support them and MS by purchasing this game on X1X day 1
