i know Bethesda was inspired by game of thrones in some aspects. (who wouldnt).
so my question is:

is This game going to Rival Skyrim?

here is the source:

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/game-of-thrones-rpg-coming-in-early-2012/

well i know there bethesda is A heavy wight champion, and have thier own league over any game studio out there.

but i kinda of wish that bethesda would have done Game of Thrones RPG


bethesda was ask to do Game of thrones video game Before Read this: http://www.vg247.com/2011/09/15/bethesda-why-we-turned-down-a-game-of-thrones/

"early 2012" - Since they don't say which financial quarter couldn't that mean any time in the first half of the year? I think the majority of Skyrim sales will already have happened, maybe it will rival the DLC sales.

Bethesda doing a Game of Thrones RPG? That's just silly. And here's some comic relief, watch this -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hftnySHVnF0

-Mr. Maric

there are rumors that ppl who own the liscence for Game of Thrones asked beth do make this game, some say they were contemplating it since skyrim already had a westerosy feel. However they turned it down. again rumors. This company doesnt have a very good track record to be honest. however as a fan of the series i would try the demo or something. keep in mind that maybe yesterday a game of thrones game came out that is an rts.

long story short, theres no way in hell this will rival something coming out of bethesda. itl probably be another mediocre rpg, like the few that have come out recently.

It's the same kind of theme (fantasy) and also called an RPG, but that doesn't mean it will be a genuine rival. I expect it to be way more linear and has less content than any TES game... But I'd say that about any other game.

I'll buy it and love it because...

ASOIAF > Elder Scrolls any day of the week when it comes to writing.


I, Edgar The Unburnt, am Ready for the flames Sycophants, BRING IT.

Well, http://www.vg247.com/2011/09/15/bethesda-why-we-turned-down-a-game-of-thrones/

RAWWWWR!!!! how dare you say Bethesda doesnt have good writing!!! RAWWWR!!!
LOL nah TES lore and story is about as entertaining as a wet stick, I might check it out

I really think cyanide will screw the possibility of game of thrones games even before the second season..
The rts to begin with, then now the rpg

If it's being developed like Mass Effect, it sounds more like a rival for Dragon Age than it does for TES. They'd be the same style of game.

I do wish that another dev studio would create a medieval fantasy open-world RPG, though. The last thing anyone wants in gaming are developers resting on their laurels and not pushing the envelope, and that's typically what happens when there's no healthy competition. Just look at EA Sports as one example.

High five to this guy

I think the RTS will be fine, but the RPG is where I'd be worried. Even for a company as skilled at making large, expansive games like Bethesda, it'd be a challenge to capture all the political intrigue, drastically different cultures and places. Game Of Thrones is one of those game they'd have to take a lot of time with and make sure everything was done well and correctly. Otherwise, they'd be getting reamed on all sides by all fans.

EDIT: I'd really like to be able to make my own character instead of just playing some set character, or at the very least be able to create the face and choose the gender of my character like in Mass Effect or Dragon Age 2.

Yeah, where are all the open world sport titles?

Why in Odin's name is this in SGD?

I'm more concerned about the lack of FPSports Titles.

Guess that's Activision's Market.
