Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



I will say one thing for Sacred 2 -- it's gotten me really interested in dungeon crawling, grinding action RPGs. Beforehand, you couldn't even trick me into being interested in Dragon Age: Origins. Now I'm all about it, and watching this brand new trailer, you can consider me sold as bloody heck. The inappropriate use of Marilyn Manson in the video would have been enough on its own, really.

Hit the jump to watch the epic new trailer and let us know what you think. Speaking as someone who's never totally been enraptured by BioWare's library of work, it says a lot that I'm truly hopeful for this one. You can't go wrong with a little hack n' slash and plenty of loot.

Very pretty and bloody even though it's CG. Still interested in this nonetheless.

Wow, get your stupid punk music out of my fantasy video games. Other than that, the trailers was quite neat.

Nope. Fable and Oblivion have enough colour for anybody, if Dragon Age wants to be muddy and dark I'm more than happy to see it.

Still puzzled by the insistance on Manson... But I am so in the mood for some epic dark fantasy, I'll let it slide.

So its clearly appealing to the nerd+heavymetal+screamo fanbase....I won't be picking this shit up even though it is by BioWARE

Some of you are complaining about Manson now? Haven't you seen the "violence" trailer from a few weeks ago?

Blame it on EA's shitty marketing influence. There won't be any metal music in the actual game. It's all orchestral.

Wow that music was stupid. Great way to advertise a Bioware game. /sarcasm

I don't see what the the problem is. I mean, sure, it doesn't really fit, but until he put on the helmet, it still looked and sounded very epic.

I'll wait to get excited, but I'd rather not condemn it just yet.

Hmmm...

Well, it would seem that this is the new shit.

Guys, I don't understand all the hate for a game that you've never played. Are you really that snobbish that you'd pass on game solely on the choice of music for a trailer?!

I for one thought that it fit, because there is no magical "rule" that all fantasy games must be advertised with instrumental music. Personally, I welcome some Manson over all of the cliched Gregorian chants that infest the genre.

Without the vocals, the music would have been just fine. It sounded epic.

This game looks so real, even with the monsters and demons all the characters have normal bodies and no extravagant armor's. This game is going to be must-buy, and i see that BioWare is trying as hard as it can to become my favorite western developer.

Cliched Gregorian chants are what keeps these poor things going. :P
Although Manson isn't what I'd normally match with high fantasy, it goes with the killing part.
Quite a nice vid too. *adds to already stupidly large list of games to watch*

Who gives a shit about the music? This game is looking mind blowing.

Game looks awesome. Marilyn Manson still sucks.

Why do people think they look clever by pointing out the lack of color in some games. There's a lot of grey in the world, too. Not everything you find is fucking bright and bold in color.

Game looks great, but sorry Jim, it's not hack'n'slash.
