It appears that the game may need more than an average desktop or budget laptop to run at minimum capacity. However, we have yet to see if this is a type of game that would look more beautiful on the Windows PC platform. Check out the eight minute gameplay footage we posted months before to get an idea of how it looks.
Recently, we reported on the game's Nemesis A.I systems that enables enemies to remember a player's action and thus influences future encounters. Additionally, Monolith is keen on focusing more on the game's Xbox One and PS4 ports.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor will be released on Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4 for $59.99
