I wonder what kind of deal he made for this. Elden Ring generated a shitload of money. Hard to say what his actual contribution was but they sure did plaster his name in all the marketing.

I do hope it's an anime adaptation personally if they're working on one. (artist - SteinsAlter)

Yeah, I would accept it more if that was an anime adaptation. Especially if it's going for the game itself as I don't care much if it's plucking something from the history since then it's just fantasy GoT and no thanks for that.
I would like an Armored Core series already though
 
Once the sixth season went live without Winds of Winter, I stop expecting anything from Game of Thrones. However, I do like what he writes no matter what. I can totally understand that he dig himself in a hole with the different POVs in Fire & Ice.
 
This guy is all over the place, doing too many projects, so no wonder we have yet to see The Winds of Winter.
He is already 75 years old, so any day can be his last day, for all we know.
I wish he would live to be 100, but even that might not be enough for him to finish A song of ice and fire.

Or he's too scared to write them after seeing the reception to the last season of Game of Thrones

I have another theory that he did finish them but he sitting on releasing them. He will release them when he dies. That the contract stipulates to his publisher those terms. Since he knows that people are gonna to be unhappy either way, so he doesn't want to be around when that happens

I'm most likely wrong though..

I think it's just a slump and he's waiting to get out of it. Writters have these blocks sometimes and this Elden Ring endeavour might give him that inspiration to finish them in the end.
 
eh, I mean the story is so nonsense as is, translating that to a show or movie would be too much of a lore dump and exposition on viewers, the mass viewing audience don't want to sit with a tome of nonsense just to understand what the hell is going on.

I loved the game, but the story is not where it's at. If you gonna do a fromsoft title do bloodborne

I have no interest in GoT, but I feel awful for you guys.
As a Berserk fan, I appreciate the pain. Hopefully Martin doesn't end up the same way as Miura.

Berserk is my favorite manga so I feel you're pain

As for GoT, that's the show not the book series. Book Series is called A Song of Ice And Fire. The first book is called A Game of Thrones so they just marketed the Fantasy show with that as the title

But yeah I expect to never get the book ending though. I think George is just living off the paycheck that the Show makes for him.

And it'll be done when its done. Or not, whatever the case may be.

Remember you're dealing with a single person, not a corporation, and that being so, they are solely responsible for the quality of the work. If they don't feel like what they've done is up to their standards, then they can simply take their time until they feel sufficiently inspired.

This is how art works. Stop treating everything like "product".

There's a point at which an author has both a responsibility to his readers, and a requirement from the contract he signed with his publishers, to complete a job of work. Martin has long since blown past the point where he's let both of these down very badly.

And commercial art does not work in the way you think it does. A creator can take as much time as they like over something only they have a stake in, but once you enter into a contract with someone else to deliver that art for commercial reasons, you have a responsibility, and a fucking job to do.

Half the problem with wannabee authors (not suggesting you are one, just making a point) is that they forget this: it's a job.

Pretty sure he could crank something out to fulfil any contractual obligation, but it probably wouldn't make anyone happy.

Its pretty obvious when writers do this, Thomas Harris's last 2 Hannibal novels are blatant examples of this. Harris clearly stopped giving a fuck after Silence!
