GMD: This is why we love disc-based releases of PSN games; they always discount much faster than their digital counterparts. GC are way out in front though at just £9.99, with other retailers and PSN still selling the game at £19.99. There's some other Thrones-related deals you may be interested in too.

Despite everyone telling me how great the show is, I just have difficulty in believing that it can be as amazing as the scenes that have played out in my mind. I initially felt the same way about any video games of the series, but seeing that Telltale Games’ 2014 adaptation of the Game of Thrones Universe wasn't based on the books, I decided to dive in and see what was what. And boy, was I glad that I did."
The final season of Game of Thrones comes out tonight. It leaves me asking one simple question: Why can't anyone seem to make a decent Game of Thrones game that allows us to play as the characters that we both love and hate?
Unfortunately it won't happen, or it it does, it'll probably be EA or Activision that gets the license.
I doubt respawn would want to do an open world medeival game at that scale. Although they probably could. Do you seriously think if EA got the license, they would give it to respawn? They would give it to the fifa studio just so they could bury the license.
Dont want it to be a Sony exclusive buy them God if war boys can probably do it justice.
My top pick would be CD Projekt by far!! But I would be surprised if a studio like that ever did a licensed game based off of either TV or movies. I mean The Witcher is based off of a series of novels but they arguably made the books popular vs licensed games usually rely on movies/shows to sell... I.e. they could give the game of thrones license to a shit studio and make more money from overcharging the license to the developper knowing a mediocre game based on GoT would still sell well.
It would more than likely end up being a clone of The Witcher is it was given to CDPR. To be honest Telltale was probably the best at the time for a GoT game. Game of Thrones is very much dialogue driven and action should take a backseat to it in any game based on the series.
Yes! But didn't Bethesda say they turned it down a while back i.e. pre Skyrim?
They did. They actually were in talks for the game of thrones game but they turned it down because they had just started production of Skyrim and needed all hands on deck.
"Amazon has added new game deals for Cyber Monday Deals Week. Deals include BioShock: The Collection, Far Cry Primal, XCOM 2, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, WWE 2K17, Titanfall, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and lots more!"
Overall the game was crap. Technically it was buggy and lacked optimization. The graphics were laughably horrible. The story was OK but dull in places.
