I’ll be honest; I wanted to post this teaser trailer all weekend, but BioWare held the meat in front of my face and said “NO,” not until Monday!
BioWare and EA set a 9AM Pacific embargo date for this bloody trailer, and unlike another gaming blog,‚ BlastMagazine firmly held out until the righteous moment, as defined by Electronic Arts and BioWare.
Now that the shackles are off and the trailer is in the wild, what do we have?
This “brutal and blood-soaked” trailer set to “This Is The New Shit” by Marilyn Manson is powerful to say the least.‚ While actual in-game footage is nowhere to be found, the allure is there.
Knives in faces, swords through chest cavities-why the hell not?‚ BioWare even delves into the waters of sexuality in the trailer and shows off an entirely awkward “last night of passion” between lovers.‚ Ooh fun!
In a word? Badass.‚ In four words? I want this game.‚ Have a look for yourself and see what you think.
