Game Of Thrones (Telltale Games)

[Feral Camel]

I was reading through some of the VGX announcements and noticed another Game Of Thrones game being released. Most Game of Thrones, games so far (IMO) have looked pretty bad, just cashing in on a popular title. I thought I'd check out the trailer anyway and noticed it was by Telltale games. This has actually got me pretty excited.



I'll be interested to see the prospective we'll be following and at what stage of the series we'll be coming in on.

Would you rather see major / minor characters or follow all new characters?

I saw this yesterday and I can not wait!
If they do it around the same guidelines as The Walking Dead, we are going to see pretty much all new characters and all new stories. Either way I'm sure it will be epic. Telltale has really made a name for themselves after The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, good for them.

Sweet a full game split into several parts at £20 each with little to no gameplay. Can't wait.

I'll just watch playthroughs of it online again.

£20 is the full season price (all episodes).

It needs to be new characters.

My bad, i was led to believe it was per episode. Makes it a lot less worse than i previously imagined.

It'll have to be. Kind of plays around too much with the original story. I'm kind of expecting it to be a Winterfell or Kingslanding solider (I have a long tradition of being way off).

Why would anyone want to play random people in the GoT universe? The content outside of the main storyline of the book sucks ass fantasy wise, I mean really what can they do except make a mirror image of the books storyline?

Same could be said of the Walking Dead universe.

There's a lot !@#$ing happening in the world. Can't wait to see it.

I'm surprised to see a new Telltale announcement so quickly. They arent even halfway thru Wolf Among Us yet.

Let's not forget about Back to the Future, either. =)

While definitely not as 'intense' a setting as their three more recent titles, I think they showed that they CAN deliver an original story from a license that FEELS like the original(s).

(yeesh, just saw they did something with Jurassic Park too... first time I've seen it, so can't comment... although Jurassic Park has an even worse track record then Game of Thrones for games)

This could be the first video game to do ASOIAF some justice. Pretty sad that the best GoT video games we have ATM are pretty much mods of Crusader Kings II and Civ5.

As someone else said, it'll have to be new characters so that it doesn't interfere with the main story.

I guess we may see a few recognisable characters in a similar way to how we see Glenn and Herschel in The Walking Dead game.

I'll be interested to see which art direction they go in. I really enjoyed the character style of The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us.

[Disenchanted]

I guess it's too much to ask, but I'd like the game not to be set in the current timeline, but that of either the Dunk and Egg time, or Robert's Rebellion.

Both would tie into the show and expand the universe for those not going over everything with a fine toothed comb.

Either way, we finally get a game coming from a reputable studio. I'm eager to see what they do.

As long as I can get my revenge on Walder Frey and Roose Bolton.

THE KING IN THE NORTH! THE KING IN THE NORTH! . . . sigh

Yeah, some people get confused by the episodic nature of Telltale's series. I've seen some people who purchased The Walking Dead swearing after finding out the game releases episodes monthy rather than being all at once.

It's basically a one-time purchase. If you wait, you might get it cheaper, but you will get multiple episodes- or even the whole season- at once. The downside is you risk spoilers. If you get it as it comes out, it's really up to the individual whether or not they like the idea of having a story separated across the span of a few months.

Personally, I missed getting into Telltale's games while they were on-going, so I decided to play TWAU as it came out, rather than wait. It's great so far.

I guess the focus on big name series means no more Sam and Max or Monkey Island, though =(

[Xyonai]

So they're working on this, Walking Dead Season two, the other four seasons of Wolf Among us -AND- Tales from the Borderlands.

Fuck these guys are busy.

[PACOX]

Cool, Telltale is awesome. They must make a lot of money because their writers should be making movies.

^^This.
Would love to play a game set during the time Robert's Rebellion.

Oooooh, that would be great. I think it would be interesting from the perspective of House Arryn. The finale would be epic!

There were some rumors going around that it will be about Dunk and Egg, but we'll just have to see.
