Why Game Developers Should Really Pay Attention to Game of Thrones

OnlySP: What do the video game franchises of Halo, The Legend of Zelda, Uncharted, God of War, and Hitman have in common with the film franchises of Die Hard, Rambo, The Matrix, Pirates of the Caribbean, and James Bond?

At first I thought they were gonna say they need to add more naked guys like they do in Game of Thrones.

Never understood that joke.
Would have been more suited for Spartacus but not Game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones is a soft core porn set in Middle Earth. Writing and all.

Immorals3581d ago

It's far deeper than that (in the books, anyway!)

Summons753581d ago

hehe I see what you did there!

rdgneoz33581d ago

Yep, far deeper. Seeing as the current and previous king were products of incest...

Rhezin3581d ago

except it's about 10x better. And soft core porn with the writers of the show yes, but no not the book.

kreate3581d ago

The books have more sexuality.
They toned it down for the tv show.

So sex, drama, violence and death?

Of course someone with a background such as the Author would say this. It doesn't quite work that way in video games, and i don't think The Walking Dead is a great example either. All it really does, is make you careless about every character in those games.

On another note, those cinematic, filmic video games are going to be the bane of the industry.

Videogames mentioned here dont have enough characters to kill off, GoT couldnt do what it does without the 10+ storylines going. Videogames usually have 1.

Gamers Need a Good Game of Thrones Game

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.

SegaGamer2430d ago

I agree, i don't get it's success either.

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.

the PC version of mount and blade already has it so does total war

Zerii2431d ago

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
