Well, the fact that in the last 4-5 books, a grand total of about 2 big events have happened, it shouldn't be that long.

I wonder how they would take multiple narratives into account. And if so, would they do it well? I mean, multiple playable characters/concurrent storylines have happened before, but still you've got to wonder how they'll execute it.

Among other innumerable things.

But, I loved the books, and hope that the game can (hopefully) do it justice.

There's already been a wheel of time game, and it was pretty long.

Im a huge fan of the books. I hope obsidian can do it justice

I just started getting my New Spring comics again, and now this? Sweet. Obsidian is going to have their hands full, though.

What do you think of AMoL, so far? It took me a while to get adjusted to Sanderson's versions of the characters (you can tell pretty easily the portions that Jordan wrote), but I ended up liking the book a lot. Especially Rand's story.

wait... another wheel of time game? there wasn't one already? made with unreal engine?

There was an earlier game, I remember beating it in a sitting. Not a very memorable game otherwise, but now that I've been reminded of its existence I might dig it out again. If anything whatever they make now has to be better than that.

I fell off the WoT bandwagon about 5 books ago.. I want to get back into em, but it's SO daunting. Ugh! Stupid adulthood. Also, I need PSN and XBL friends! nintendosoft@gmail.com

I think Brandon Sanderson likes the taste of money.

The first WoT game was a shitty excuse for a FPS. You're an Aes Sedai who effectively can't channel, but ends up the Amyrlin Seat anyway. You use ter'angreal that just HAPPEN to coincide with whatever Randland combat spell could be shoehorned in, many of which just HAPPEN to resemble common FPS weapons.

When it takes two shots of fully-charged balefire (right in the face, no less!) to take out a Forsaken when the books clearly state that one minimum-power glancing hit and it's all over, some creative liberties were clearly taken. Especially since an Aes Sedai can apparently do so in full view of the entire White Tower and get away with it scot-free despite merely KNOWING the technique being grounds for forcibly getting your magic tubes tied (usually for good).

Weak plot, bad choice of game type, buggy as hell (you would get dumped back to desktop in an instant with no warning), final battle was just a multiplayer game with bots (I'm serious, it was a single-player version of Capture The Seals, a Randland version of CTF, but with a tiny bit of chess-like piece placement involved before the match officially starts), most of the voice acting was kinda laughable, and it had jumping puzzles (even the best FPS games do not need stupid jumping puzzles).

Music was nifty, though.

So yeah, these guys don't exactly have a high bar to jump, here. Always thought WoT would work better as an RPG.

A game, I can see being able to pull off. It'll be and and hopefully they'll take the time to develope it right and not spped rush it. A movie however, I don't see that happening. Live action plus really good CGI means huge budget and I dont think WoT is mainstream popular enough to warrant the dollars needed. I mean, reread the Battle of Dumai Well's, that alone is gonna skyrocket the costs, what with the fire and exploding bodies, etc, etc.

These kind of post are always inspiring and I prefer to read quality content so I happy to find many good point here in the post, writing is simply great, thank you for the post
