Telltale Developing A Game Of Thrones Game, According To IGN.

I always thought a telltale ASoIAF game made perfect sense.
There's not a lot of action in the ASoIAF series; it's more focused on dialogue/relationships between characters, politics, etc so it seems perfect for a Telltale style adventure game.
Hopefully it happens, maybe we can also get a more "traditional" Dragon Age/Skyrim style ASoIAF game as well on top of this.

I want this.
And here's hoping they use the books' actual name, "A Song of Ice and Fire".

I guess I'm gonna finally have to start watching the show. I'm pretty disappointed in the announcement tbh. After the initial guesses leading up to a Star Wars games...nothing else could match that hype. Glad everyone else is excited though. I'm sure it'll be great.
Jurassic Park never happened.

TWAU is the first game that I've played that literally has the art style of the thing it is adapting 1:1.

I've never really had any interest in GoT until this news. I can't pass up a good Telltale game.
If you had been watching South Park's console wars episodes, you would have known it's all about the quality of floppy wieners that count

My brain did a wuuuuuhat moment and went to a happy place cause I am a fan of the book and tv show and hoped for something like this to happen. So I hope it is true.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Not sure why but this makes me uncomfortable. Just doesn't seem like a good fit for Telltale. Both The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead were comics prior and I feel like that's the main reason Telltale was able to adapt them so well, both in art style and general story flow. Last time Telltale tried to do something based on live action (or a book), it turned out...well....we all know.
Hell, even Sam and Max is comic based. That's just what Telltale does best. Short story bursts with cartooney visual style.
I don't know guys.

That would be insane. Wonder what they can come up with

Afaik are there a bunch of GoT comic books. Not sure if they're adaptions of George RR martin stories or they're own thing, but maybe they could use that as base material?

Typical Telltale humor would be that you have a bunch of super eloquent answers to choose from but no matter what you pick all he'll say is hodor.

First reaction: Awesome
Second reaction: I think I will dislike the art style they are going to choose for this. Game of Thrones needs realistic rendering in my mind

Wat?
They're adaptations of Martin's Dunk and Egg stories, which in itself would be a good template for Telltale to follow.

I love The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. TTG Game of Thrones would be great. I really need to get around to reading the books.

Oh shit.
The Dunk and Egg comics have delicious art.
Ah thx for clearing that up. Would make sense if they pick some side story like that. Should also make it more easy to introduce newcomers to the universe
This could be amazing if you get to choose your alliances and betrayals, and really influence the politics. Gonna have to be more complicated than Walking Dead though.
And I know I'm probably the odd one out, but I think it'd be cool if they used the aesthetics of the show. It makes sense to base TWD on the comics instead of the show, but the ASOIAF novels don't have any visuals, so they'd be pulling the art-style out of thin air. I'm hoping for true next-gen motion capture tech.

The Walking Dead, and The Wolf Among Us aren't point and click adventures. They're their own thing. They're cinematic stories with choice based gameplay. Point and click adventure games are more centered around puzzles, item collection, and pointing and clicking around screens to move characters.
I'm not trying to say their not games, or anything like that. They're just not point and click adventure games.

The show aesthetics aren't bad and I wouldn't mind it. But some of the stuff should be more in-line with the books such as the Iron Throne if it's shown. Same with the Others. Just because they can take advantage of not having to suit the designs to actors or set budgets.
As awful as this sounds, I actually wouldn't mind a Quantic Dream game as long as David Cage wasn't writing it. More Heavy Rain than Beyond regarding paths of course.

I can't wait for the awful hack and slash sword sections. Maybe they'll make us shoot White Walkers with a crossbow. You'd think it'd be hard to make point and click "puzzles" with this, but I'm sure they can find a way to make your carriage break down and have you look for pieces to repair the wheel with.
They're glorified visual novels, which is fine. Telltale should embrace that and cut out the bad gameplay and filler "puzzles."
Just make it a VN with direct character and control and leave this stuff out TellTale.

Oh god yes. A GoT game by Telltale on the level of Walking Dead would melt my brains.

They'd probably be licensing the TV show anyway. Which makes me wonder how much room they'd have to go to a different time period.
