Game of Thrones RPG Announced for Early June Release

By Brian P Rubin | 11 April 2012 | 1 Comment   

A post on Eurogamer reveals that the Game of Thrones RPG for consoles and PC will be coming out in “early June,” which is only a few months away. The writer of the post does not greet this very soon release date as particularly good news:

“Developer Cyanide, barely six months ago, delivered naff Game of Thrones strategy spin-off A Game of Thrones: Genesis,” writes Robert Purchese. “It was A Game of 5/10 Quality.”

He adds:

“Let’s hope we’re not seeing the full picture, and that publisher Focus Home Interactive isn’t rushing the game out to coincide with the currently-airing second series of Game of Thrones on TV.”

I’m definitely interested in the game, and I’m very eager to see whether or not it holds up to scrutiny when it comes out. I’m almost done with the fourth book in the series, so I’m a fan, for sure. But, well, the footage I’ve seen doesn’t look too terribly promising…

In addition to the above story trailer, here’s a gameplay trailer from last month:

What do you guys think?

    Personally I’ve never been a fan of games which only give a very limited choice of characters to play as, even more so in RPGs. So that’s already lowered my interest quite a bit.

    Another point is the quality of the textures. The landscapes and buildings look great, but the characters look terrible.

    The combat reminds me of Dragon Age: Origins and seems to be just as slow.

    On the other hand, I’m quite interested in the story. While I haven’t heard much yet, so far it seems good.

    So I’ll keep an eye out for more info about it, but as it stands, I’m not that interested.
