The trailer shows the titular protagonist slinking through the shadows, avoiding detection as he traverses through orc-infested territory. Gollum will largely see players avoiding conflict, sticking to the shadows to avoid detection. The game will also focus on platforming elements, with players needing to climb, jump and sneak across dangerous territory to help Gollum survive the story of his untold quest.

Set sometime between the events of Gollum finding the ring and the bulk of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Daedalic's upcoming game follows Gollum as he undertakes an epic journey to reclaim his precious lost ring. Section Number. Go To Section. Back To Top Top.

The other developers all liked the name and decided to use it because of its coolness, rather than it being based on any game design elements. According to Bob Fitch , the theme for Warcraft had been inspired by taking the vikings from The Lost Vikings and combining with masses of creatures under their automated control similar to Lemmings , with the multiplayer element of having these opposing masses of vikings meet up and fight each other. Blizzard co-founder Allen Adham originally hoped to obtain a license to the Warhammer universe to try to increase sales by brand recognition.

Warhammer was a huge inspiration for the art-style of Warcraft , but a combination of factors, including a lack of traction on business terms and a desire on the part of the rest of the development team to control their own universe nixed any potential for a deal.

Adham intended this as a strategy to optimize for retail stores: having many related titles next to each other on store shelves would create cross-selling opportunities and show that the brand was well-supported. However, the only two games from this original plan that ended up actually getting made were Warcraft and StarCraft.

The game's cinematics were worked on by two people and were completed over an 8 to 12 week period. According to Bill Roper , the idea for this came from when he and Glenn Stafford were working on the voice-overs in a cramped, locked room for hours on end. Things eventually got "a little loopy" and they ended up thinking it'd be funny to include lines where the units become annoyed at the player's constant clicking, which ended up working really well with the game's intended style of humor.

Gag quotes went on to become a staple in all future Warcraft and StarCraft games. At BlizzCon , J. Allen Brack announced that several people were working on a side project to update the old Warcraft games for modern computers. At BlizzCon Frank Pearce stated that while the game was now playable on modern systems, there were no plans to remaster it.

Their appearance was considered revolting by most of the other races. Orcs made no beautiful things, but many clever ones including machines, tools, weapons, and instruments of torture. They were delighted by wheels, engines, and explosions, and could tunnel and mine as well as any but the most skilled Dwarves, though they are often untidy and dirty.

They hated themselves, and had an even deeper secret hatred for Melkor, thus resulting as a violent and warlike race in a perpetual state of chaos with itself and others. Despite their abominable nature, Orcs were often crafty and clever rather than dim-witted.

Tolkien writes that they were capable smiths and craftsmen, though their weapons and belongings are described as crude compared to those of the Free Peoples. Orcs also developed tunnel-making, so as to dwell underground away from the light.

Wickedness and violence were their nature, and it was not uncommon for them to kill each other in petty quarrels. Orcs had unchangeable disdain for all Elves, Dwarves, and Men, though they fought alongside wicked men under Morgoth and then Sauron in the First and Third Age and were also said to have made alliances with wicked Dwarves. In Tolkien's Sindarin language, Orc is orch , plural yrch. The original sense of the word seems to be "bogey", "bogeyman" , that is, something that provokes fear, as seen in the Quenya cognate urko , pl.

In the old English Orc means "demon. This same word was also used by Legolas , indicating that it was either Sindarin or Silvan Elvish in origin. In The Lord of the Rings film , the Orcs are voiced by extras.
