Chris Mawson writes: "Telltale Games is set to continue its controversial ‘season pass disc’ strategy with the Game of Thrones series, it has been confirmed today.
The company drew criticism from fans last month when its retail version of Minecraft: Story Mode shipped with only the first episode included on-disc; the remaining four have to be downloaded as and when they become available. That’s not stopped the company from repeating the strategy with Game of Thrones though, with retail listings referring to the game as a ‘Season Pass’ disc."
Over the past decade, Game of Thrones has become a bonafide powerhouse in the realms of television and fantasy literature. However, despite its massive pop culture presence, there’s one entertainment avenue in which George R.R. Martin’s politically charged fantasy drama has mostly floundered: video games.
I personally loved the Telltale GoT. Probably one of the few where your choice actually matters. Iron from ice!
I loved it too, my favorite tell tale game. Always wishes there would be a sequel
D&D is used as an abbreviation for the main writers of the show (David Benioff and D. B. Weiss) because it's a hell of a lot shorter. So it's not a 'what' it's a 'who' and to be honest he's right. These guys have shown a complete disregard for the material with their recent attempt to rush it to completion to move on to their Star Wars work. These guys showed talent in adapting but don't have an original bone in their body based on their work beforehand.
In that case I agree and I apologize for coming off as an A hole. Dungeons and Dragons kept popping in my head every time I read D&D. Lol
I mean we only have the Telltale game, the 2012 RPG, and some mobile games to choose from. So probably Telltale? Even though I personally thought it was one of Telltale's worst products.
Written by Alan Kerr - The continual push towards better graphics has led the game industry to a point where games are starting to look incredibly realistic. At the same time, the film industry’s ability in CGI has come just as far and it is getting harder to notice the difference.
Well first of all gaming does far more than just realistic graphics, it goes for all different kinds of art styles.
Second visuals aren’t everything. It’s the only interactive medium with various aspects that can’t be replicated in any other medium.
Finally the gaming industry is the fastest growing industry of all time and in recent years it’s outgrossed both the music and movie industries combined.
Not really. The games industry is far more flexible and able to wriggle its way into people's lives be it from candy crush on the bus to Call of Duty at home.
Film has it much harder to make its way into people's lives seeing as you may have to put aside a few hours in the day to see a movie.
To me it's just one major advantage the medium has over the other from a market standpoint.
After a fantastic seventh season that greatly improved upon the somewhat lacklustre sixth, Game of Thrones is once more on hiatus. Now that everyone must wait until Summer 2018 (or possibly even as late as 2019) for the next series, OnlySP has decided that the best thing for everyone is to offer a list of the best video games to scratch that Game of Thrones itch as they wait.
Because it's not literally. Winter just ended in the southern hemisphere and is three months away in the northern.
The title refers to winter in the show, as well as acting as a metaphor for the hiatus period until the next season as dead months.
"After a fantastic seventh season that greatly improved upon the somewhat lacklustre sixth." 😂😂😂 Wow, ok. Season 6 was superior in every way.
Yeah seriously. What has this author been smoking? This season has been criticised much more than 6.
right?.. both seasons were really good , but S6 was amazing and had the perfect ending going into S7... can't wait for S8.
TellTale are getting greedy
Just lost a sale.
TT better have a good explanation for this!
