I thought that already knowing the ending would have shielded me from the wave of awkward facepalm-y nonsense, but the actual mood of the finale and the delivery of its dialogues were so surreal, almost as if SNL had managed to seamlessly merge one of its sketches with the episode itself. It was honestly amazing in the most absurd, self-destructive way.
I know, it's really disgusting and painful, but if it makes you feel better there was a rumour a few weeks back that used to read like obvious bait, but is getting more and more likely:
- A game developed by From Soft and published by Namco Bandai.
- Fully open world.
- A bunch of kingdoms you can go to in any order.
- Get abilities from killing leaders of these kingdoms.
- Might be announced at e3.
- George RR Martin is one of the lead writers.
GRRM wrote today in his blog "I've consulted on a video game out of Japan.", as Nodrim posted before.
UPDATED INFO:
Quote:
Elden Ring is the action-RPG that FromSoftware and George R. R. Martin are working on together, according to the latest leak.
Bandai Namco’s E3 lineup leaked overnight, spilling details on the FromSoftware and George R. R. Martin collaboration, Elden Ring – which is From’s “largest game to date,” apparently.
According to the leak, which came from the official website: “Elden Ring is a fantasy action-RPG adventure set within a world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin. Danger and discovery lurk around every corner in FromSoftware’s largest game to-date.”
It is coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Thanks Nodrim and The_Zeel.

TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
You don't know that, the rumour about a norse-mythology based game comes from one source only, the other details were confirmed by others as well.
It may or may not be GoT related.

I should have put "unless proven otherwise". Basically that the title was off but it has been edited, so now it's cool.

So basically no title, no idea what kind of game it is and no idea about the developer etc. except a possible rumor about something something souls-like?!
What's the rumor? A GoT game?
This has got to be the weakest Game Announcement thread I've ever seen. I'm seriously considering locking this until there's something more substantial.
There was a rumour a few weeks back from several sources that From Software is working together with GRRM on an open world game.
Everyone thought it was fake, until GRRM himself confirmed on his blog recently that he is working on a game with a japanese developer.
Too much of a coincidence for the rumour to be fake.

Sums it up pretty well.
Anyway

I’ve consulted on a video game out of Japan.
He uses past tense here and word 'consulted". Martin is very careful with words, it's his life. I dont see how can you conclude from this he is working on a japanese "souls-like" game right now.
Because he never worked on a japanese videogame before, and now he says that he did, just a short while after the From Software rumours out of nowhere?
Don't you think it's a bit too much of a coincidence?
Tbh if there would be a got game it probably wouldnt use the likeneas of the characters in the tvshow so that alone would probably bother ppl or alternativley it would use unknown characters in the same universe but at that point why bother.
I would love one that takes place in Essos or even better, the southern continent, since that one is full of mystery, weird ruins and lovecraftian creatures, perfect setting for a new Souls-like.
Because he never worked on a japanese videogame before
Okay, in what way this is an argument?

He never said that, he said "consulted"

I think the fact he never says he WROTE for the game implies may be that the IP they are working on based on GRRM work and he just did some CONSULTATION like he did with latest GoT episodes for the show. I.e. it is his work, they make a game based on it and consulted him on a few aspects. Does not mean he is THE WRITER on the game.
I didn't say he is the defacto writer of the game, read what I said previously.
There was a rumour that GRRM was involved in a new From Software game, which nobody believed at first until he confirmed that he actually was involved with a japanese developer, hence pretty much confirming the From Software rumour.
Yep, i heard most of this shit when we got the new Zelda. And indeed, the soul of a Zelda game was not present. It was something else. I expect the same from fromsoftware this time.

- Dev started after DaS3 DLC
- 3rd person action RPG
- More RPG, more variety than DaS
- challenging
- Character customization
- Martin wrote the overarching mythos of the world
- open-world
- Theme "will of mankind"
Earlier I had said that this title focuses more heavily on RPG elements. This title will include a wide variety of weapons, magic, and ways to engage enemies, that make it possible to provide users with a style of gameplay and strategy that suits them.
It's one of the most nonsensical trailers i've ever seen i got to say..
The direction seems to be pretty much "we have no idea what to do, just say some cool stuff, do some cool renders, just be sure Martin and my name is in there."
That doesn't mean the game won't turn out great, but the trailer is shit.
Wonder for how long they "hired" Martin, two hours, two weeks?

The trailer was pretty much like every other Souls game, nothing weird.
