Mordor was already a pretty dark and monochromatic game to begin with, mind you. The game’s fortresses and enemy encampments got a similar treatment - the finer details of all the stone and rusty metallic architecture sanded away in the transition to last-gen consoles. The blood that sprays out of orcs’ heads whenever Talion lops them off, for instance, just sort of…jets out rather than spinning around in thick, shiny black globs. Many small details have been compromised or erased entirely. Suddenly, the flashback of Talion fighting with his son looks a lot more pixelated than I remember it being.
This is especially striking during the opening segment of the game, which cuts between scripted animations that look nearly identical to the ones in the new-gen versions and moments of actual gameplay. The game just looks muddy and chunkily animated in a gross way on my PS3. But even with that qualification in mind, seeing Mordor in its new pixellated guise was pretty shocking. Comparing the last-gen versions to their more robust counterparts wouldn’t even be fair, necessarily.

I wasn’t expecting Mordor to look great on Xbox 360 or PS3, especially in comparison to the gorgeous Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game. I’m concerned about what I’ll continue to find, in any case, because the newest (yet oldest, technologically speaking) version of this game just isn’t very good. I still plan to do that, both because it’s one of the best parts of the original versions of this game and also because Mordor creator Monolith Entertainment made some troubling comments about how it would be compromised on last-gen consoles in an interview with IGN well before any version of the game had been released. I haven’t been able to investigate every nook and cranny of the game’s nemesis system, which is tough to wrap one’s head around in the first place.

I’ve only managed to sink a little more than four hours into the PS3 version of the game (an Xbox 360 version also came out today), which means that my experience with last-gen Mordor still pales in comparison to the amount of time I’ve spent playing it on PC and PS4 (well over 50 hours). This is not the Mordor I remember falling in love with. After playing a few hours on my PlayStation 3, I can see why. The last-gen versions of the game arrived today to considerably more muted fanfare. 10. For more on the game, be sure to check out our wiki.When Shadow of Mordor first arrived in September, it was met with heaps of well-deserved praise. Middle-earth: Shadow of War is due to release on Xbox One, PC, and PS4, on Oct.

While it’s highly unlikely that the game could get a splitscreen co-op multiplayer mode added in via DLC or a free update following its release, the technology is there so there’s always a tiny possibility. This means you won’t be able to run around Mordor with a friend in splitscreen co-op in Shadow of War, but at least you’ll be able to share some of your success conquering fortresses with others online. Instead, players will simply be able to upload any fortresses they conquer, control, and customize in the single-player experience in order for other players to try and defeat them. Unfortunately, the multiplayer component isn’t splitscreen co-op. While the first game was purely a single-player experience, Shadow of War decides to introduce a new multiplayer element, and as such, many players are wondering if it’ll feature any splitscreen co-op options. Middle-earth: Shadow of War is almost upon us and fans will already be counting down the days until they can roam around Mordor building an orc army as they go.
