Gametrailers TV has just aired her episode of this week, featuring Conquest in detail! Loads of new footage and interviews with a few of the key members of the Conquest developement team are featured throughout the episode.


Don’t want to watch? Here are the major new info pieces we found!

  • The Battle of the Last Alliance is included
  • You can play as a Nazgul and kill Frodo (SP Campaign)
  • Hugo Weaving (Elrond from the movies) is narrating both campaigns
  • Trolls work like vehicles, your character ‘dissapears’ as you take control of an idle troll
  • The Evil campaign is unlocked AFTER the Good campaign, and is a lot more challenging
  • The Evil campaign starts at Mount Doom while the battle at the Black Gate is taking place (and Frodo is climbing Mt. Doom)
  • You get to take out the entire fellowship and other heroes as an Evil player
  • Mumakil kill moves!
  • Play as both Uruk-Hai, and Orcs
  • Only one player in Multiplayer can play as a Hero. Server settings determine if it’s the weakest or strongest player etc. who gets to play as a Hero.
  • Evil heroes include Sauron, the Balrog, Ringwraiths and the Witch-King.
  • Sauron can only be taken down in multiplayer by other Heroes

His Dudeness:
Urg... if only I had sound.
zach:
Not too much new info. The trailer made up for it though.
_Freek:
Yeah, I would love to see some longer footage, kind've hard to see anything in 3-second combat flashes :(
zach:
Yea it is. I just paused A LOT and looked at all the scenes. It sucks you cant doenload the interview video.
Durrh:
I wanna play ringbearer tag :D

It'll probably be really clumsy :(
zach:
It sounds fun, but 15 vs 1 makes me think you wont be ringbearer too long.
_Freek:
Makes me think how the hell will Pandemic explain 15 instead of 9 ringwraiths.
zach:
Yea I know!!!
HMMcKamikaze:
As you can see by what EA has done, the lore itself has been disregarded when convenient. This isn't a game for the hardcore fans as much as it is an opportunity to use an already established mythology to create a game franchise.
_Freek:
I guess so :( Playability goes before canon I guess.

Also the trailer is now up in SD quality on our front-page :)
Teregond:
I hope Gandalf use's his Sword as well as his Staff because i see in the video he is only wielding a staff :S
_Freek:
We still dont know a lot about combat, but it would be likely that the game would feature primary/secondary weapons for each class, maybe also for the heroes.
zach:
Yea, dont worry yet. We know very little about how the game actually plays!
