RIP Nemesis System.

One of the greatest action game mechanics.

Wasn't really interested in the prospect of Wonderwoman but I would have taken a look at it just for the Nemesis System.

Guess that's never gonna happen, and we need to wait like 10 years for the patent to expire.

Publishers expect a little too much from cinematic trailers, if they added a little action in the trailer. They'd be able to know the real interest in the game.
They can't just expect people to look up wonder woman on internet without seeing something solid.
It needs to be elder scrolls or GTA 6 to make it happen.

2036, I can make it that long :) Maybe if a decent LoTR/middle earth movie/TV show is released, there would be enough interest in a 3rd installment of this game. I'm just getting into these games and think I'll have replays for years to come.

Yikes the studio went under, that sucks. But that also means the patent owner could re-implement a similar system since I doubt they had the rights to the code which I doubt many publishers get access to. If Warner Bros games went under then that patent could get sold off to another company that might actually put it to use. If WB has no plans to implement the system in any other games, they might just sell it off as well given I don't think their financials are very good right now.

I spent some hours going over the community's take on the patent and the general agreement was that they should never have got away with the patent, being what it actually is and developers were upset because it limits creative freedom and it ushers in an era where ideas can be patented.

It's a lot.

However, the terms of the patent are highly specific and anybody could implement their own Nemesis System so long as they study the terms closely.


On the Shadow Of.. games.. I've played and beaten them both twice to 100%. Platinum Mordor on PlayStation, but when I wanted to redo on PC I just played the base game 100% so I could get into the meatier Shadow of War.

The games are awesome, and will truly stand the test of time. In 2036 the Nemesis System will still feel new and innovative. Kinda like how Sims reigned supreme for as long as it has, and only now are other competitors coming to the market.
