We look into Gollum's story and lore from Tolkien's books and compare it to what we see in the new Story Trailer of Lord of the Rings: Gollum. From that we can predict what might happen in the game and find out how accurate some details we see actually are.

What are your thoughts on the game? It's potential story, visuals, potential gameplay? Are you interested in seeing this? Shall I play it here on the YT channel? Let me know in the comments 😄

I don't game but I keep up with the games. I might be mistaken but all the Middle Earth games fit the various stories in rather well, especially storylines in the Years of, First Age, and Second Ages for how limited of material rights the Tolkien estate is willing to release to visual entertainment. Imo... As a non-game but full time Middle Earth dweller, better content in the games than anything Amazon can put out

Me personally dont want to play as Gollum. They make a new LOTR game and put Gollum as main character. Instead of eg. Aragorn and his travels? Or Gandalf? Or even some darf? - replay as one of the darfs in the Hobbit book? I just dont get it. Therefore id love to see some gameplay from you and a deepdive

That last trailer looks significantly better than the previous one they released so I am cautiously optimistic about this game. Whenever a new Tolkien project is announced I always look forward to you covering it, Chris!

Nice video. I think Gollum is an excellent protagonist and Middle-Earth locations seen through his eyes is a cool idea. It can be the mirror of the adventures of Bilbo and the rest. Maybe Galdalf's different appearance could be due to Gollum's unreliable pov? Would make sense he'd seem more menacing in Gollum's interpretation of events.
@ThePhilosophersGames
@ThePhilosophersGames Год назад
Yes good point. Gollum's point of view is for different than Bilbo's and the game could reflect this. Even Tolkien played with this idea at times (First Edition of teh Hobbit is Bilbo's view, the second how it actually happened or what Gandalf found out to be true).

Super excited for more Mirkwood 😮 i like the artstyle, the elves especially look “otherworldly”, and gollum is looking cuter than ever 😂❤ would be fun to try both paths of the story
@ThePhilosophersGames

haha he really looks kind of cute 😄 Yes true otherworldly describe it quite well. I guess one can get used to it.

1:55 I think Gollum spots Frodo from his boat while fishing in the cavern's lake when they meet, but I expect some artistic flexibility from the game which is fine. The older Hobbit game on console/PC also has a few scenes with Gollum. Great video as always

Looks good and I never understand why people aren't open to interpretation for a fresh new look. I'm willing to see what the artists offer on both friends and foes of Gollum.
@ThePhilosophersGames

Yes I know what you mean. Humans are creatures of habit I guess, and when something is different from what they are used to/like, that they often become sceptical I guess.

Well I might have to finally start gaming because I love this character even though he's heartbreaking. Yes, please play it here on youtube so I can see/learn more about how to play!

@@ThePhilosophersGames i Really hope they don't blow it with his character. i kinda hope we all end up rooting for Gollum after seeing it. i want them to really go into what greed, obsession and manipulation (by Sauron) can do to people. Yes he murdered his cousin, lied about it, went on to do such horrid things he was exiled but was it the ring/Sauron taking him over? Yes. I hope it shows viewpoints from all different sides of various characters how Schmiegel and Gollum's behavior has affected them, good and bad.

I'm looking forward to this, I started getting back into gaming a few years ago, I actually asked you for some recommendations of games to try, I ended up playing Ori and the blind forest which was a very beautiful game, I also played assassin's Creed black flag which was very good as well. I've never played a Lord of the Rings game before, are the shadow of Mordor games any good in your opinion? I know they mess with the lore but is the gameplay and story still entertaining? Thank you for the video.
@ThePhilosophersGames
@ThePhilosophersGames Год назад
Glad you liked the video ^^ Yes Shadow of Mordor was imo a very good game (though as you say the lore is messy). I guess it's a bit brutal. Shadow of War (the sequel) is also pretty good and improves a lot of things, but playing both back to back can make you feel oversaturated of its gameplay loop - at least that was the case for me, which diminished my enjoyment of Shadow of War a bit half way through the game. So I would decide maybe on one of them. Also Shadow of War is even more bonkers lore wise, than Shadow of Mordor was 😅

@MrZurbagiu
@MrZurbagiu Год назад
could it be that gollum carving the shape in the cave at the beginning is actually after he lsot the ring and is pining for it, just as he decides to leave and go on his quest?
@ThePhilosophersGames
@ThePhilosophersGames Год назад
That was also my first idea, but with him looking over his shoulder, I was not so sure anymore. He also seemed in a somewhat "happy" state of mind there, which I think would be different after meeting Bilbo, but I could be wrong. I guess we will find out.

Off topic: you mentioned Sindarin hair being dark, i always assumed they had silvery hair, they were for the most part Teleri right?
@ThePhilosophersGames
@ThePhilosophersGames Год назад
Yes, good point. There were some Sindar from Thingol's (Elwë's) house that had silver hair, but dark hair was more common according to War of the jewels: "Elwë himself had indeed long and beautiful hair of silver hue, but this does not seem to have been a common feature of the Sindar, though it was found among them occasionally, especially in the nearer or remoter kin of Elwë (as in the case of Círdan). In general the Sindar appear to have very closely resembled the Exiles, being dark-haired, ..."

Why didn’t Gandalf attempt to help Gollum? He tried three times with Saruman..did he just believe Gollum to be too far gone? Did he believe that his destruction along w the ring was apart of the deeper plan of God
@ThePhilosophersGames
@ThePhilosophersGames 6 месяцев назад
Good question. I guess the opportunities were not available for Gandalf to help Gollum further and I think he would have tried to help Gollum, though he also feared it was too late for him ("I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it."). Further Gandalf was forced to make his move as well and had other things at mind. He knew Gollum would play a bigger part in this, but not what part exactly and if he could be "cured". I think he only met him once in Thranduil's realm.
