On the size of the world: It mentions 'Bywater', which is the village of the Shire where the battle against Saruman took place - it's right near Hobbiton - so I think it will just be the village itself and maybe some of the fields around it? But then you can see the Party Tree from Bilbo's house, so maybe you can travel a bit further too (or it's just Hobbit Aesthetic to have a big tree on top of a hill and it's not in Hobbiton at all, either is possible!)
Tales of the Shire will launch in the second half of 2024 on the Nintendo Switch™ system, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. From the website
OH my gosh! It's going to be on the Switch! I love how stylistic that game is! It stands out from the sea of generic farming sim games! the characters look a bit low-poly but I don't mind it too much! Crossing my fingers for multiplayer 🤞 Thank you for checking it out, Josh!!! 🥰
The character design isn't bad, but the animations look a little "goofy" on purpose. Like the skipping and exaggerated walking. That somehow doesn't gell well with the aesthetics otherwise that feel more peaceful and charming rather than quirky and silly. But, I do have a lot of hope they do something special with this. It could be really fun or sweet. I do want a bigger farm though... ------ Its hilarious the legit took down the video as you where watching it, Josh. lol!😂
I wouldn’t say it looks rough to me it looks more like the classic drawings come to life, maybe what they’re going for, as a lord of the rings fan im excited
OMGGGF!!! I was screaming along with you while watching ittttt! I am so excited!!!! 😭 I’ve watched LOTR more than I can count and this is right up my alley!!! I love the magical vibes 🥹💗 oh how I hope it is just as good as it seems!
I think it's pretty but I'm not a fan of the Hobbits feet style but Idk if we can wear shoes lol. Maybe it won't be that bothersome when playing it. Kinda interested to see how it will be for Switch tho but I'm feeling like it'll come out during autumn/end of the year
Not likely, it's kind of the main feature of a hobbit.. none of the hobbits wore shoes in Lord of the Rings either. I agree they do look a little creepy..
I'm SO excited this is coming out on the Switch! My cozy gaming hobbity heart is really happy right now! It will be interesting to see when in Middle Earth history this takes place!
Concept - good GamePlay loop - I have questions but, on the whole, intrigued... Artstyle - uh... hm... ... ... it doesn't *look* like Weta's work - it looks like some third party mobile ap... if the gameplay is good, like, I really don't *care* how it looks - but it's gonna need some solid gameplay chops to get past something that looks so basic...
Thank you so much for covering this! I've been following the page since the announcement last year but missed this new update while in the gym. Luckily, I have the notification bell for your channel on ;3. I am so happy it's on the switch. That's the only console I have and my pc is a potato. I'm hoping they do a release for the consoles all on the same day instead of staggered like other titles (cough Hogwarts). LOL I love how both of us spotted the mid graphics and first reaction was 'Oh it's not HD maybe it'll be on switch' haha. Thanks again for the video. Keep up the good work!
On holiday, so I’m sorry I didn’t see this video until now. This game looks 100% me! Hugely into LotR.. And it’s a cozy game set in The Shire?? Sold! Though, I’m not sure I like the art style. I hope there’s a physical copy!
Looks cozy and will be looking forward to it,but will say looks like they choose to go off something other than source material..So hoping they do something cool with the story...Otherwise they could've went and created their own style of story/background.
I’m not a LOTR fan but I just don’t vibe with the character designs at all. Lol I find them kind of ugly tbh. Like, the backgrounds look fine to me but it’s hard to get past the character designs.
I can't help but be so excited for this game, even if the latest LOTR titles have been flops. Hopefully this developer makes an actually good farming game that can compete with some of the stellar recent releases.
Really excited to see more of this! I hope there is lots to do! I think the environements or great but I do hope they fix the characters faces a bit xD but gorgeous!!
Thanks for the video, Josh. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this game. I noticed the game preview mentioned that Weta Workshop was involved. They were involved in the Peter Jackson Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies. Also, it’s nice to see at least a little diversity among the hobbits in the preview.
Looks kinda janky and ugly to me. I hope this is, like, in development stuff, and not remotely final stuff. It just... even the trailer is lagging. Yikes.
The Switch version will run at 8 fps and have massive pop-in no doubt. The system is vastly underpowered now, this game looks good though and I'm sure it will be great on PC/PS5/Xbox/Steam Deck.
It looks cute, but sorta limited in terms of story and gameplay. I'll wait and see what they show in future trailers, but the limited garden and small amount of decorations is not giving me confidence. :(
Ah, I'm so excited!! I was just grinning the whole way through the trailer :D Do we know yet whether there will be physical copies for consoles? If not, I think I'll get this on Steam for the better performance
Looks pretty good, but I'll wait until we get closer to the release date to fully decide. I am kind of over open world farm sims. It wouldn't be so bad if t here was more to do/points of interest. More times than not, though, it's empty. I hope we'll be able to play multi-player. That would be very fun.
I'm not using any ad blocker. The reason is it turned out the channel where I was watching the trailer posted it earlier than supposed to (basically they leaked it a few hours before the trailer was officially revealed), so they either removed or unlisted it.

OMG THIS LOOKS SO CUTE!! I am VERY HYPE. I really want to see more of the gameplay too for real! I just hope there is lots to do!

I’m hoping this means we can go to The Green Dragon! 🥺
@@Grapefruit341 Ooo, yes!!!!
@@Grapefruit341If you slow the trailer down at 1:58, you can see the tavern signs for The Green Dragon and The Ivy Bush.
in this game there is no battle against Saruman it's just a friendly game

I do want a bigger farm though...

Its hilarious the legit took down the video as you where watching it, Josh. lol!😂
I get the confusion, but if I remember correctly, Bywater is the name of one of the Hobbit villages.
Oh, that makes sense!! Thanks for clarifying!
IM SO EXCITED. The houses are giving me Palia vibes though so I hope I enjoy decorating more in this lol.
LOL private in the moment! That's hilarious, you were really on top of things!

Thought the same as you!

The hair looks like a decal. Needs some work on the opacity and placement.
Hobbits really are amazing creatures
I'm SO excited this is coming out on the Switch! My cozy gaming hobbity heart is really happy right now! It will be interesting to see when in Middle Earth history this takes place!
Gandalf is in the trailer so hopefully it has a real storyline.
It seems to touch on all the things I want in a farm sim, but the graphics are a little 😬
I really hope I can play on my Steam Deck, this looks amazing! I'm so excited! I don't mind if it's simple gameplay as long as it's fun
I am so excited for this game! I grew up with Tolkien and love all the books and movies. The fact that we will get to play it will be even better!

LOOK AT IT AGAIN. The one they uploaded later is sharper. It looks better.

I'm curious if forage friendships was an intentional play on words or if they don't know it should be forge friendships.
A cozy game on PS5 😍 there is a dire shortage of good cozy games on the PS5.
As a huge LotR fan, I'm stoked 🥰
Can't wait to get Hobbitty ❤ I'm really hoping for autumn release.
This looks amazing!!! And totally up my alley! WOW! Love the look of it and the whole vibe. Thanks for covering the trailer! Love your channel ❤
this game will be on Nintendo switch and Xbox and PS5
I am soooo excited to play this!!! Bywater looks so cozy and cuteee 🥹 and I love the decorations in the house!
It looks very Palia-ish.
I feel like you're the only one talking about this (or maybe it's that I don't watch anyone else... :) )
I definitely think more people need to talk about this game! Hopefully as we get closer to the release, they will!
Really excited to see more of this! I hope there is lots to do! I think the environements or great but I do hope they fix the characters faces a bit xD but gorgeous!!

Got here before it was even posted on discord lol

Yeah not so Good even if that might be a switch version ... il mean switch is running dq11 ..
It's giving me Fae Farm vibes.
Excited for this. Thanks for covering this.
I'm so excited this is coming to switch!!!
Thanks!
So excited!
Can’t wait!
Looks good so far

Console release? (Xbox, ps4/5, pc, and switch)
It looks cute, but sorta limited in terms of story and gameplay. I'll wait and see what they show in future trailers, but the limited garden and small amount of decorations is not giving me confidence. :(

UA-cam said people using ad blockers would start seeing video unavailable more, so that might be the issue you're seeing.
I'm not using any ad blocker. The reason is it turned out the channel where I was watching the trailer posted it earlier than supposed to (basically they leaked it a few hours before the trailer was officially revealed), so they either removed or unlisted it.
@@JoshGamingGarden Okay. I assumed you were watching it on official. Makes sense then.
What's your favorite mini game for fishing what game does it best? Stardew Valley is fishing souls difficulty.
I really like Palia's actually.
Find it relaxing without being boring.
Fishing is quite good in Harvest Moon Winds of Anthos.
Looks very cool!!
I am so disappointed at the visuals it looks like an old game from 2009. Hopefully, this is only the switch footage from the switch.
