damn i kind of want a ps4 now..
the shadow of mordor trailer looks so dope. is the storyline based on lord of the rings?
From what I understand, it's set in the LoTR universe but has nothing to do with the movies' or books' storylines. Not sure the chronology in the LoTR universe but I'm pretty sure that Shadow of Mordor and the books/movies take place during completely different fictional time periods.
[EDIT: No Man's Sky doesn't seem to have much of a story. It's more of an exploration game from what I've seen. A procedurally generated universe where every star you see in the sky is an actual locale, an entire planet, that you can go to and visit.
There seems like there'll be more to it but it just looks like a really awesome game to burn a couple and just relax with. I've read several places that, at this point in development, it would take over 5 billion years (real-time) to explore every planet in No Man's Sky's universe for 1 second each. Just one second on each planet. Wanna know why? Because there's fucking 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets to pick from so far in the fucking thing, and the game doesn't even have a set release date yet.]
...in case you're wondering, I get this magazine called GameInformer once a month that I read cover-to-cover on the shitter. I'm not like a game fanatic or anything, but that magazine keeps me all the way up-to-speed, man.
