Game of Thrones RPG combat trailer

There are a few Game of Thrones games in progress right now – this blog post is about the RPG for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS 3. It’s being produced by Atlus in collaboration with HBO and Cyanide Studios and is one of the heavy hitters.

This video trailer looks at the combat system in particular but still manages to give a good feel for the game. There are two original characters and you will play as one. Both are former soldiers from Robert’s Rebellion who find themselves playing an important role in the struggle for power in the Seven Kingdoms.

Atlus want to keep the tension and drama high. It won’t be possible to pause the game in combat. The options wheel simply slows down the action.

What do you think? Have they got the atmosphere right? Is the no-pause combat a bad idea?
