@LordS230 right, the huge succes of the books had companies jumping to make a videogame about it.

[cherubagent]

The studio are making and RTS and ALSO making an RPG. Nothing to argue about =]

[milesvt]

this trailer needs to be (far more) than 20% cooler

[keatris]

@dillonsmithliveca:
Yes, this is an RTS.

@daymyth, Cyanide is also making a CRPG according to joystiq; I'd post the link, but youtube doesn't seem to allow that, so google game of thrones rpg pc, and you should find the news :)

@centy64 I like the idea of playing a character IN the world without having control of the greater events around you instead you are just apart of it, living in the time of (or it could be set after). Perhaps you are/were a faceless man, or a Wildling escaping from the North, or a deserter from the North wall escaping to the East where you, a warlock of the West finding yourself stranded in Westros your powers lost... but now... as winter is coming... they begin to grow... Endless Possibilities.

Are you kidding me? Such a series and then ... this.

[punisher]

@damarh Except that, of course, this game was planned before the TV series.

[CarrollLiddell]

@centy64 I haven't played Dragon Age 2, but I hear it wasn't very good, I haven't played Dragon Age either but I hear it was really good. Regardless bioware has a very long history of putting forward mostly great titles. Mass Effect, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic. Each an amazing triumph for its time. I understand alot of people didn't really like Jade Empire but I quite enjoyed it.

[CarrollLiddell]

@agoblink2 they only really have Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls, and not the budget of Bioware. Its like getting Stars to make Game of Thrones instead of HBO.

[CarrollLiddell]

It really should have been an RPG, and they should have given it to Bioware to do... I say Bioware, because a book and film of such epic proportions needs a game company of epic proportions.

[hmarkow]

they should make it like rome total war.

[BrockT]

the screenshots look like they are from 2002

[centy]

@daymyth They might have made a good job but I mean you cant go in and mess with the story or even play a non character and not be part of it so where would that leave Bioware? It's better this way though I would actually like to see some gameplay.

[AronGates]

@damarh It's a book. Damn people who sit on their ass watching TV all day.. Read the book.

[GhostfogND]

Wow that was bad.

I checked out the site as well, these are people with no passion for the series or even strategy games, and it shows. If this turns out to be good, I'll be fucking surprised to say the least.

[damarh]

this looks like a rush job to cash in on the current tv series :(

[Drax]

@daymyth Haha you got to be kidding me. TES and FO game by Bethesda are infinitely superior in every way to anything Bioware has ever made. More detailed, much larger, much more to do. And you're sitting here telling me Bioware has the bigger budget... my ass. Only reason they have so much money to spend on that MMO is because it is STAR WARS. *wink wink* *nudge nudge* The money for that didn't come from bioware, but from Lucas and his gigantic pockets.

[centy]

@daymyth So it could be equally as shit as the Dragon Age games? No thank you.
