What's really interesting here is in that supposed project name there is absolutely no mention of "Lord of the Rings." This is good. You can't really have a story in the epic story of Lord of the Rings. You'll just always get to be a shadow to the main cast and crew. There are other periods in Middle Earth that have yet to be explored, and honestly, might make for a better game and experience.
He's right about the pre-order thing. If more people are buying PS4's, more people down the line are going to buy it for multiplayer and social play. That's what we saw with the 360 and the PS3. It's going to happen again.
@Vojtass Because the Witcher is a dark and gritty universe and to be expected (and the games are always M), whereas Lara Craft was never known for explicit subject matter, and seldom had games rated M?
Naughty Dog used female characters as plot devices and narrative tools to elevate Joel's macho brooding. Besides Elle, Naughty Dog didn't make very good female characters.
