Speaking during an interview with IGN<\/a>, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor design director Michael de Plater said that the game is heavily focussed on the next-gen console experience, and the intriguing Nemesis system may be scaled back for the older Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.<\/p>\n

De Plater said “We\u2019re very focused on the PS4 and Xbox One. We\u2019re focusing on the next-gen platforms, and then going to do whatever we can to get as much as possible on current-gen.”<\/p>\n

“To break it down, some of the stuff we\u2019re pretty confident will still be very similar on current gen: the core mechanics, like combat, stealth, ranged and movements; the basic control and gameplay, that should all be really solid. What it won\u2019t have is the same level of depth and variety and simulation within the ‘Nemesis system'”.<\/p>\n

“The story will be the same and the core gameplay will be the same, but [the ‘Nemesis system’ is] just so huge in terms of content, calculations and AI we\u2019ll just have to try and get as much of it in as we can,” said de Plater.<\/p>\n

Shadow of Mordor made a critical strike on gamer mind share when it was revealed with an exciting gameplay video<\/a> and developer accusations<\/a> of stolen code, leading up to its 2014 release on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, PS3, and PS4.<\/p>\n
