Christ. Cynacide is already working on a Game of Thrones game...

Really wish the author would've done his research....

(btw, the studio name is CYANIDE)

Read the article. He acknowledges the game but doesn't feel it would do the game show/book justice.

Baka-akaB5103d ago (Edited 5103d ago )

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 .

DonMingos5103d ago (Edited 5103d ago )

@Baka-akaB, I tottaly agree.

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).

If Cyanide can make it work it will be awesome

bobrea5103d ago

Yea, more video games based on movies and shows is exactly what we need. Developers working on original titles sure would suck

zoks3105103d ago (Edited 5103d ago )

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.

bobrea5103d ago

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.

ViserysTargaryen5103d ago

Can't wait until I can reclaim the Seven Kingdoms from the Usurper without the aid of these Dothraki dogs.

Perjoss5103d ago

Lucreto5103d ago

ViserysTargaryen5103d ago

DonMingos5103d ago

You don't have dragon blood...

A Dragon can't be hurt with fire

Eamon5103d ago

ViserysTargaryen5103d ago

Eamon5103d ago

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX22h ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

dmonee11h ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard11h ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

Venoxn4g1d 21h ago

Love both games, hope that we will get third game
