Actually, it came last night . . . 50 minutes after midnight, to be exact.

Simple question: will there be any frontal nudity?

Yes, but it will only be of the direwolves.

I'm not sure what to expect of this game. I love the books and the show...but I don't know who cyanide games are.

i had to look them up, too. apparently they're behind the Game of Thrones RTS game as well, and that's supposed to be pretty mediocre. they also developed Blood Bowl, the extreme sport game based on the Warhammer universe...but they haven't really developed anything of worth.

Was this based on the book or the series? The music sounded kind of like the theme from the series.. :p

@Arkard 1:45 looks a lot like Varys from the series. But since GRRM has a hand in both the books and the series (and this game, per the trailer), does it really matter?

As much as I love the books, I'm not sure the material translates well into a game.

I would personally rather have a fantasy RPG set in S.M. Stirling's world of the Change. Its a setting and a story that translates much better into an entertaining game.

But then again, I could end up surprised. I would like it to turn out to be a great game.

I think The Song of Ice and Fire would translate well to a game, just not to an RPG.

As an example, I'd buy Total War: The Game of Thrones on day one.

Character models -- particularly the majority of the faces -- seems on par with what could be pulled off with a PS2. Seems kind of money-grabby to me.

Yeah, this game is really not up to par graphically at all. Definitely seems like an attempt to cash in on SOIAF while the gettin' is good. Even if the story is good, I'd have a hard time playing a game that makes a fantasy world that I love look this terrible.

@beluga Who knows, this game doesn't have a definite release date just 2012 so by the time it comes out it may look better. This is the first trailer, and I'm going to go ahead and hold out hope that it'll be much better by the time it's released.

It kind of looks like the same treatment that you got playing the Lord of the Rings stunt doubles RPG they released a few years ago. I cant remember the name of it, but I hope this turns out better.

Can't wait to see people's heads explode when they get halfway through the game and their character dies.
