George R.R. Martin has confirmed he has "consulted" on a game from Japan. [Rumoured to be collab. with From Software]

[GJ]

UPDATE:




Newly released video by Spawn Wave on a rumor that's been going around. The information in this video is coming from Liam Robertson, but I don't know if he's the main source of the rumor.




Summary by ItWasMeantToBe19:

-Published by Bamco
-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

 

[TheCongressman]

It's weird enough to be true. And I mean, he's not writing any books, so yeah.

Rumor details:

-Published by Bandi Namco
-Fully open world
-A bunch of kingdoms you can go to in any order
-Get abilities from killing leaders of these kingdoms (Think like Mega Man in a way)
-George RR Martin is one of the lead writers



Spawnwave heard this, but Liam Robertson has also heard stuff about the next FS title.

 

[Speevy]

It's not like he's doing anything else.

What

 

[Mobu]

Sounds cool

 

[mescalineeyes]

with or without RR Martin that sounds dope as hell

 

[vestan]

Yeah, nah fuck no.

I'm seriously ready to eat crow if this is even remotely real.

 

[--R]

What the fuck.

 

[Dark_Castle]

Yeah sure, why not

 

[Basileus777]

The GRRM part is laughable.

 

[Deleted member 19213]

This man doesn't want to finish his books...

So it's never gonna be finished, got it

 

[Deleted member 4761]

Open world and FromSoftware Engine? Nope!

 

[TheCongressman]

I don't really care so much about the Martin part, but that game premise is something I would love to see them tackle.

 

[Maple]

Open world FromSoftware game? I'm in.

 

[Kyoufu]

Does George R.R. Martin even know who From Software are?

 

[OwOtacon]

This is so not something I would expect From Software to do.

But holy shit George R. R. Martin writing lore.

 

[Deleted member 55164]

How does this not sound like Dark Souls?

 

[kadotsu]

Why would they get the writer of that cancelled Beauty and the Beast show?

 

[DeathyG]

It's April 1st already?

 

[Hanbei]

Outta nowhere.

 

[Einchy]

Part of me says that there's no way GRRM would do something like this while Winds of Winter continues to be unfinished and part of me tells me that he would totally do this.

 

[Mr. Genuine]

If Martin is writing the next From game, hopefully that means Miyazaki is writing the next ASOIAF novel.

 

[Thorakai]

vaporware upon announcement

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

This is suuuuuuper thin.

Like everyone has heard of it but only Liam and Spawnwave were willing to talk about it.... That can be a bad sign.

 

[XVerdena]

Interesting.

lol fuck off

 

[Kalentan]

This legit. But it won't release until after ASOIAF is finished.

 

[Heckler456]

Any credibility to this guy?

 

[Outrun]

So we'll get the sequel in 2050?

 

[overcast]

I don't believe any of this.

 

[Strings]

It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility I suppose, since they had the co-creator of The Expanse do a bunch of writing for them. I seriously doubt they got Martin though, if only because I think their fantasy chops are strong enough on their own (or they'd just get Kentaro Miura, the creator of Berserk, since he's met with Miyazaki a bunch of times).

 

[Pascal]

This legit. But it won't release until after ASOIAF is finished.

lol

Game of thrones:

Spoiler

Snow dies twice.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Something something Winds

 

[Eolz]

Looking forward to the usual backtracking from Liam.

 

[Lunaray]

Eh, I doubt GRRM's involvement is true. But if so, come on George.

 

[Deleted member 4783]

What

You know what? This sound so crazy it might actually work (and be real)

 

[MaxAugust]

I don't think GRRM has ever seen a video game much less played one. He still uses floppy disks.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Not trying to hate on the man but I am not sure what he could bring to From Software's games...

 

[Lant_War]

What the hell, this is fucking awesome. GodSoftware strikes again.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Huh?

Spoiler

don't believe it since it is too bizarre

 

[Tregard]

Spawnwave was way off on the Google Stadia stuff, don't know if his sources are reliable

 

[Xiaomi]

That would be nuts but it sounds way suspicious. And not something we'll likely see for another 2-4 years so I'll forget about it for now.

 

[Deleted member 22750]

 

[Jecht]

April fools in a few days.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I do not believe for a second that GRRM would ever write for a video game.

At most maybe he would send some story ideas to someone.

 

[convo]

You can say that but you'd think it would be a Game of Thrones game if the guy himself was involved or has he other hot settings that are in the mainstream right now?

 

[Jencks]

What in the fuck.

I am in.
