but his idea wont necessarily neither . A rpg to explore westeros ? Ok then it cant mostly be heavily be linked to the books and focus instead on new chars adventures or previous ones .
You can't easily do otherwise , besides a strategy game , when as much time is spent in courts and among characters dialoguing , rather than your regular fantasy battles and action scenes .
Imo a rts is the perfect fit for A Song of Fire and Ice , compared to some brawler , or fighting nobodies in a rpg .
Again the serie is even more about court intrigues and war strategies and alliances , than epic action tales .
While I was watching the series it was like watching an RTS game on tv without the battles (don't really know why they don't show the battles on the show).
It's all about diplomacy, intrigue, alliances and 8 houses fighting for the 7 kingdoms. That is all about an RTS game with a strong online/lan component, to play with 7 other friends, each one taking care of it's own house (We could even include the house of Greyjoy and the Dotrakhi).
Agreed, like the book is not enough we have to have a show and a video game also, only things missing are a clothing line, a food sponsorship, a soap opera, and an etching on the Moon.
Hell, I don't even think the show is anything special. I've watched four episodes so far and I can't get over how mediocre it is. I'm really, really trying to like it since I love fantasy stuff and all of my friends love it, but I can't.
Won't work. Entirely too many characters, split up at too many different points. The way to be most faithful to the books would be the most boring of games. And I don't want to see one of my favorite series of books butchered.
Christ. Cynacide is already working on a Game of Thrones game...

Really wish the author would've done his research....
Read the article. He acknowledges the game but doesn't feel it would do the game show/book justice.
Yea, more video games based on movies and shows is exactly what we need. Developers working on original titles sure would suck
Can't wait until I can reclaim the Seven Kingdoms from the Usurper without the aid of these Dothraki dogs.
as long as they keep the fisting scene in (mini game time) lol.
