Quantcast



Dragon Age: Origins is a dark medieval-fantasy videogame. So it would only be fitting that it have a dark medieval-fantasy score, right? Well, that’s what we’re getting if our ears haven’t forgotten the cochlea’s of their fathers. In the footage above, composer Inon Zur talks big about the score of the upcoming RPG, and a bit of his haunting music can be heard. It’s dark stuff, guys.

Of course, Zur is no Marilyn Manson. Many moons ago we were re-introduced to the title with a mess of gore and a bad song. The diary above makes no mention of the hot single, “This is the new s--t.” We’re left wondering why.

Click the button to check out the video and don’t forget: Origins hits November 3rd.

Loud, aggressive music makes action scenes more intense.

I could never forget the launch date for this game! I'm counting down the seconds, and videos like this only make me that much more excited. It sounds amazing.

Nice score, moody and fitting... Oh, by the way, what the hell are you talking about? The Manson clip was EPIC! I thought it was, anyhow... :/

Bioware needs to fire their modelers and animators and just film blocks of concrete moving around to fill in for the NPCs, because the characters in this game look fucking godawful.

I'm all for taking pride in your own work, but to say the music you wrote - a soundtrack to a video game - goes "beyond art" reeks of pretentiousness.

That said, the game looks great and the soundtrack does sound really good. I'm looking forward to this.

They really need to tone down the blood. It's not mature, it's just silly and distracting.

No Blind Guardian or DragonForce? Sacred 2 has Blind Guardian for cripes sake. For shame, Bioware, for shaaame...

I remember back when dumb graphics obsessed kids didn't even know what RPGs were, let alone have to read their whiney comments all the time. RPG's, the GOOD ones, were NEVER about graphics. RPGs always were the realm of the hardcore fans... ahhh, memories.

Aw, yet another fake flash button. Is there any concern against put video on the same page?
