Forums - Gaming - Sony should make the Lord of the Rings Trilogy

It's a tall order to recreate the books/movie trilogy. But I think Sony could pull this off, but a single studio like Santa Monica wouldn't be enough as it would need investment and manpower on levels beyond GTA. They'd probably need something like 2 thousand people working on it.

I hope this dream come true someday.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I have played a lot of LOTR game and yes I would like a PS4 or PS5 trilogy made top notch.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

Only if there's no hobbits in them. 😽



I’m not sure how such games would work though, who’d you play as? Maybe it would work fairly decently during Fellowship because for most of it everyone’s together, but during Towers and Return you’d have to be multiple characters in different locations, or it would have to be level-based following the chapters in the book.

It was tried once before during the Xbox/PS2/DC/Gamecube era and turned out meh. I really don't think a video game will ever do those books/movies justice.

The last 2 games especially the return of the king one was awesome!  Probably the best movie game aside from maybe spidey 2

I got the second of the three for Xbox as a gift back in the day and couldn't get into it at all. 



Given how repetitive and average the last two LOTR games have been, then yes please.



I miss the two towers on ps2 back in the day. I’d like a remaster for that.

What do you guys think? Sony santa Monica making the fellowship of the ring as a ps5 exclusive? 

I think its a waste of time. Just make a new GoW. Or a new IP.

You are right. Just me being greedy as a massive LOTR fan. The series deserves a dev like Sony santa Monica to do it justice.
