Worst trailer ever? Possibly. I don't know if I'll like this game or not, but I will probably check it out if I don't find out anything egregious to me it does (or doesn't do), but so far GRRM is batting 100% when it comes to games I dislike, electronic or otherwise. I hope he breaks this streak with this.

I was an early GRRM fan too. I have an email I wrote (and he replied back) him at the end of 2000 where I told him college wouldn't suck so bad if they assigned us ASOIAF instead of crap like Thoreau, Shakespeare and Dostoyevsky. He thanked me and disagreed with me, and now that I'm older (if not wiser) I can see I was wrong and am thankful I was forced to read the greats, and now enjoy reading them myself.

A Wildcards, or whatever the series he edited is called (Wild something) would make an interesting game.

George isn't the driving force behind this. This is a From Software game through and through with some kind of lore/loose script provided by ol' George and that's his only involvement. It'll be souls-like.. because that's all From Software do these days. They do it well.

And? How many thrilling, enticing cinematics have we seen over the years? Only to have the gameplay be pedestrian and boring. When it gets to the point that there's actual gameplay footage, wake me up.

They probably paid him in part to have his name attached to the project xD
Reel in some of that massive GoT fanbase

Trailer reveals nothing useful.... will see what later info reveals...

I prob would not play this game.

Just like I tried Seriko, I cant get past the mobs, too hard for me =( getting too old or something. And there is no noob mode =(

The name George RR Martin is getting about a bit, you would think he was the only fantasy author that has existed since Tolkien. This sums up the entertainment industry today from TV to gaming, overreliance on brands be they series, authors, directors.

As to the game itself lets wait until launch and see.

I agree, I really struggle with their games too, this is why I didn't even buy Seriko. But I do also think they should keep the difficulty, I love their art style and I think the fact that it is really hard is what appeals to a large part of their player-base, forcing the players to play on this difficulty is also an important part of the game design, hence the souls like game-play.

George is a amazing story teller but was Westeros and his "world building" really all that interesting ? Im a huge game of thrones fans but i read the books and watched the show every week for the story more than the world . Is From Software really known for their "story based" games ? Just seems like a weird partnership . Maybe this is just Hidetaka Miyazaki way to sneak Tits into his game.

I should try sekiro, really I find all souls game difficulty over rated, only the iron king from DS2 was hard, the other are most just learn when to dodge and make use on they openings

That's the difficulty, actually being able to dodge and make use of openings.

Wake me in three years when there's actually something game related to look at.  Anyone can hire an artist to make a video these days.

Ginaz

I wish I had noticed that this was a Kotaku video before clicking on it. Blech!!! I still don't know what the game is about after watching it so double fail.

Wizardry

Yeah sadly i don't have any idea what the game is doing from that trailer.

If this is another one of those Souls type games as mentioned by other poster,count me out,those games are total rubbish.I want a FULL game ,those Souls games are like 5% of a game.

Horusra

R R Martin is attaching himself to a lot of crap...literal crap.  He better save his Fire and Ice series from the TV conclusion and stop all this side stuff.

Abhorer

It looks like something a bit different from what we, MMO'ers, are used to play. I don't mind if the name of GRRM is attached to it, the only I wish is a good game in a dark fashion, like this seems to be like.

FlyByKnight

If this trailer is so vague (which it is... AF) how are some of you so sure it's trash???

I don't even know what to make of the trailer. It served no purpose. Was there some game play or story I missed in there? I'm pretty sure I was in "whut?" mode from start to finish.

Cyber_wasteland

So many of these comments make me laugh, Room is starting to small cynical some one open a window please.


George R. R. Martin and From Sofware, This is a fantasy overload. Soulsborne games will never leave my top 5 list, shit half of the clones can nestle in there to. So cant wait to see what this is all about.

TheDarkrayne

The director has confirmed that it's a souls-like game.

“Elden Ring is a third-person action RPG with a fantasy setting. Gameplay-wise, it’s heavily based on Dark Souls. However, that doesn’t mean that it plays out in the same way. With a more open and vast environment, the way combat plays out becomes fundamentally different.”
