A StarCraft II fan has recreated the iconic opening credits sequence of HBO's fantasy hit Game of Thrones with the game's in-engine cutscene editor.

While it's not exact, the results are quite impressive, especially given that StarCraft is in the sci-fi, and not fantasy, milieu.

Tolkfan, the creator of the clip, has posted a Reddit thread about how it was done.

That was cool. A Song of Ice and Fire series is amazing. I still say that the books are FAR SUPERIOR than the show and the games. I love reading and I think the books are written beautifully. I can't wait for the next entry. Oh and one last thing.... HOUSE STARK! Winter is coming, Winter is coming, Winter is coming! Lol and Tyrion (in the books) is awesome!

Someone should make a LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth version of this.

Want a good A Song of Ice and Fire game? Get CDProjektRED to make it. They have already proven they can make great games based off of books.
