Following a bit of the same model that Dark Souls did, those who pre-order Game of Thrones (The RPG) will be getting a hardbound art book  for their hard-earned coin.  It's a quite nice looking piece of swag that includes "sixty-four full color pages of sketches, renders, photos, and screenshots from the game accompanied by compelling text and commentary from the game's developers."

Of course, this is all well and good but I have yet to actually learn what the Game of Thrones RPG actually is.  Trailers show some nice looking areas but I have yet to see how the combat works, what the loot looks like...what the RPG elements actually are. What? Is? This? Game?

I'm really glad the TV show is popular, and thanks for the Art Book, but can we maybe see some of the game? Pretty please?

    When I saw this post I was hoping you'd tell me why I should be excited about it, but you're in the same boat I am. I know there was a Game of Thrones strategy game last year but I haven't heard shit about this game. What the hell is this game going to be like? Can anyone tell me?

    Im as lost as you guys are. I knew of this game, but hadn't heard anything about it. You would think with how popular the book/TV series is that they would be hyping the shit out of this game. Im actually surprised they're doing pre-orders for it now. With no concrete gameplay videos, they really are banking on the popularity of the series to make sales.

    I'm looking at the Atlus website right now and it doesn't reveal anything about the gameplay at all, but they annouce it as a "30-plus hours action RPG" so i imagine it will be somewhat Demon's Souls' style, at least in the fighting parts and moving around.
    They have a poll where they announce 6 different fighting styles for 2 different characters (former soldiers of Robert's rebellion) and your decisions will affect the Seven Kingdoms.

    So far that's what i was able to "dig" of the Atlus' website and the game official website. If you guys already knew that, sorry for the repeated info.

    I've heard that it will be an action RPG, Like Dark Souls, Where you play as a Red Preist and a Brother of the Nights Watch. Both campaigns happen simultaneously story wise but you play them at different times.

    The Game of Thrones strategy game was all right. Nothing special, only for nerds (like me) who likes the idea of conquering Westeros :)
