Hardcore Gamer: Call blasphemy if you want, but I’ve never seen an episode of Game of Thrones. It’s nothing against the series itself; it’s mostly been my personal apathy toward live television these days. After Breaking Bad ended, I didn’t find myself watching much broadcast TV at all (most of my time was spent on YouTube or watching the occasional episode of Futurama on Netflix). But the massive influence of the TV adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice series is downright inescapable. It’s become an Emmy award-winning phenomenon and a commercial success for network HBO, so it wasn’t that surprising to hear that Telltale, the development house behind a number of independently released adventure games, has picked up the license for Game of Thrones and are working on a new series of titles in adaptation of the TV show. At first, it’s exciting to hear that the company behind the stellar adventure game The Walking Dead is getting a go at this huge franchise, but the more I heard about it, the more skeptical I became. The truth of the matter is that, unlike The Walking Dead, it’s going to be very hard to see Telltale’s Game of Thrones game reaching the widespread appeal that they netted with their 2012 hit.
A Game Of Thrones: The Board Game lets players lead one of the six great houses as they battle and scheme to win the throne.
The award-winning A Game of Thrones Board Game is now on Steam! Forge alliances with your enemies and betray your friends in pursuit of the Iron Throne.
So far, every Game of Thrones game has been far from memorable. None of them stand up to the books or shows. Will there ever be a truly great video game based on the saga?
I wonder what's the deal with this series and is so famous, last time I was watching a small part of the last season episode and most of the time was talk and staring (alot of Dinklage staring lol) , talk more and staring each other again, and again and again and again, and then a Dragon appeared and later Zombie appeared and guess what ?, more stating!, heck I think the Dragon and Zombie stare a bit lol.
Just not by Bethesda
I don't mind them saying something like "Oh we don't have anything to tell you about Elder Scrolls VI because we are working on other new projects" because fair enough...new, exciting projects are always good BUT to have one of these games be Game of Thrones which would basically be a watered down Elder Scrolls would defeat the point. By watered down I mean the fantasy world in GoT is cool and all but ES has a broader range when it comes to the fantasy aspect, hell magic in GoT is tiny compared to the stuff within the ES Universe. I would rather have ESVI if that's the case.
I think the people to make GoT would be CD Projekt Red...but then I'd rather see them focus on Cyberpunk
People don't seem to get the bigger picture, they just see "GoT Game" and their fanboy self looses their shit...I'm looking at this long term, would I want a capable developer wasting time on one when I could see something new from them which isn't restricted by the GoT license.
I would love a TES style Game of Thrones game. Have it take place either before or after the show/books, let us make our own character (choose which house to start under, profession, etc), then just drop us into the world and let us live in the lore and forge our own stories. We got a Dragon Age styled one, that was bad and the TT one was meh. Granted I'm dying waiting for TES6, which I don't believe they aren't working on their biggest selling and most anticipated IP but if anyone can make a good GOT game it would be Bethesda or even like you said CDPR.
I'd love to see GoT game from CD Projekt for sure ! Now they are in the last years of development, and after it support the game as they always did with Witcher series, they could pick up the GoT for a spin, without any restriction like it happened in the Witcher. Plus this would allow for the Witcher series to rest until possible a new game and an amazing GoT adaptation by one of the best studios in the world for me that is well known for adapting books already.
So that would put in their hands one of the biggest franchises atm and Cyberpunk which i'm so damn excited for
I don't see how. Game of Thrones has like the deepest lore out of any TV show. I feel like I should be taking a history class on it.
I don't think so, I've enjoyed telltales back to the future and walking dead, mainly because of how infrequent the games have come out, I think next year with the fluctuation of multiple telltale games into the market within 12months their unique style will become quickly boring.
i doubt it. i hated the walking dead ones but i absolutely love the wolf among us and i despise GOT, i think its an overrated pos show.
Considering I've never seen the show and the VGX announcement made no impact on me whatsoever, I'd say no.
I think it can. If you have an open mind that is. I know a lot of people say "Best show ever" for pretty much every popular show on cable (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy, The Walking Dead, The Wire, Homeland, Shameless, Lost, The Following etc.)
While these are good shows, Game of Thrones is the best modern fiction I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
I tried watching the pilot episode last year, but stopped halfway given that there were too many characters to keep track of and the conplexity of the plot. Earlier this year, I tried again. Once you get passed that first episode, your gunna be hooked. The acting/writing is on another level.
Very excited for the Telltale game.
