Exclusive first footage leakedWhat could go wrong reenvisioning Westeros as a theme park.
Wouldn't they have this announced at Quakecon?
It's gonna be developed by Obsidian.

Bethesda seems like a perfect fit for a story heavy franchise.

Yeah the only thing that could beat CK2 GoT mod is an officially licensed game made by Paradox
I hope not. I have no interest in Game of Thrones but like Bethesda so I want something else.
Yeah the only thing that could beat CK2 GoT mod is an officially licensed game made by ParadoxYeah, its called Crusader Kings 2. Or more specifically, just get the Game of Thrones mod for it and there is your ideal Game of Thrones game.
All of this.If they aren't setting the game during the events leading up to and during Robert's Rebellion, they're doing it wrong. That time period has a shit load of characters we care about and would be a great setting for a game.
Edit: I am hijacking my own post to feverishly gush over my own GoT vidja game pitch.
My pie-in-the-sky dream GoT game would be set before, during and after the rebellion taking place across the entire continent of Westeros sans perhaps north of the wall.
Imagine if the player character was a bastard born in one of the nine major regions (North, Vale, Iron Islands, Riverlands, Crownlands, Stormlands, Reach, Westerlands, Dorne), with the player choosing where they want their character to be from and which house they serve. They story at the beginning would differ depending on where you start from, but all 9 paths would mostly follow the same beats: the tourney at Harrenhal, battle of Ashford, The Trident, sack of King's Landing etc.
Your ultimate goal is to assist your liege lord in either defending the crown (Targaryen, Lannister, Tyrell, Martell), overthrowing the crown (Baratheon, Stark, Tully, Arryn) or take advantage of the chaos and reave where you please (Greyjoy).
Your skill tree could have 9 branches: Father, Mother, Maiden, Smith, Crone, Warrior, Stranger, The Old Gods and The Drowned God.
NPC's refer to you by your bastard surname (Snow, Stone, Pyke, Rivers, Waters, Storm, Flowers, Hill or Sand) for maximum immersion
Side quest potential is enormous here:
-Recruit/capture potential brothers for The Night's Watch
-take care of The Smiling Knight
-find all of the Weirwoods in Westeros to see visions of the past and future
-beat back Hill Tribesmen in The Vale
-investigate reports of a Faceless Man sighted in Westeros
-investigate an underground cult of religious fanatics called "Sparrows", join or destroy them
-fuck all the whores in Westeros and "make the 8"
-study at The Citadel in Oldtown like a nerd
-assist the head of customs in Gulltown with shady dealings (some dude named Petyr? Seems trustworthy)
-go to Gin Alley in King's Landing and give Karl Fookin' Tanner 6 silvers to kill a man
EZ DLC MONEY:
Greyjoy Rebellion DLC
"Beyond The Wall" expansion (Bronn mentioned he's been north of the wall before, get him in there)
Where's my check GRRM

Bethesda? They seem like the wrong match for a game that needs strong storytelling.
The problem with this is that a game like this would have to be on a scale that currently can't really be done in gaming. This concept would require you to be able to travel an entire continent the size of South America.If they aren't setting the game during the events leading up to and during Robert's Rebellion, they're doing it wrong. That time period has a shit load of characters we care about and would be a great setting for a game.

I would like a GoT game with a Dark Souls like battle system set during Robert's rebellion that culminates with Robert vs Rhaegar
I have no idea where this narrative that Game of Thrones season 8 will premiere in 2019 comes from. GoT S8 will release next year, HBO would be stupid to make people wait more than one year for 6 episodes.So I was watching this video
https://youtu.be/S4BfsLwX-Z4
And he's talking about how Game of Thrones will have one more season after this and likely not until 2019. I sure hope that doesn't mean 2019 release for BGS's next game though.
I'm in for having Brienne as a follower.
I want to make great big monster babies with her.
Has this game been confirmed or hinted before?
I'd love to dive in. Usually love Bethesda games.
It could simply be published by Bethesda, in which case it's anybody's guess as to who the developer is.
You know, as much as I would normally agree, I almost think this is the proper way to go about it.
You look at Game of Thrones and say, "This is a great story that's built around narration, character acting, and drama. A game about it should have those as the cornerstones." I get that. That's normal, that's natural.
The problem is, Game of Thrones already has those things. It already has tons of world-building. The world is already thoroughly populated with great characters. This is the problem TellTale ran into: when you're working in a narrative that's so firmly established, doing what amounts to licensed fan-fiction, the restrictions on what you can do with the world and characters are frankly too great. If the original author was doing their job, the interesting stories of the setting were already being told, right?
I actually think this is a setting where you just want a very narrative-light, sandboxy, "Go enjoy being in the world of Westeros" type game, rather than some sprawling narrative epic.
For comparison, look at Shadows of Mordor. The story is not good. The characters are not very interesting. And you know what? That's fine, because I just really want to run around Middle Earth beating the shit out of orcs, not read the developer's Z-tier Lord of the Rings fan-fiction.
Honestly, I'd argue that Mount & Blade is even more perfect for it than CK.Like it's not hard to do this right. Quite literally just make it Crusader Kings with more flair for the events and a little more depth than vanilla CK2.
Of course it'll be a terrible first person RPG instead but hey. I can punch Ramsay Snow for three hours I guess.
Honestly, I'd argue that Mount & Blade is even more perfect for it than CK.
Game of Thrones doesn't seem like it would translate very well into a game franchise.
Then maybe your imagination is limited? There's endless possibilities for video games within the series.Exactly what I'm thinking.
