    30 Seconds to Mars just posted on their Twitter account about this new Dragon Age trailer featuring a preview of their new song "This is War". Even if you don't like 30 Seconds to Mars the trailers kind of interesting, even to someone like myself who isn't very interested in the game. I'll embed it for anyone who wants to watch it:

    As both a fan of 30stm and someone who is eagerly looking forward to Dragon Age, this is pretty awesome. Even if the song did sound a little too up beat to be fitting with the footage for the most part.

    I don't think it's anywhere as bad as the Manson trailers.

    same thing though.  Dragon Age has had really bad trailers.

    I thought the song went pretty good with the vid actually. Still not going to get it though, not really the game I thought it was (if it even halfway resembled the game in the CG trailer, I would).

     Wow. A better fit then "This is the new shit"....but that is not really saying much. So I pretty much agree with everyone else on this one (especially how it does indeed look like a youtube mash-up).

    why do they keep insisting on coupling the franchise with music that has nothing to do WHATSOEVER with heroic fantasy?

    it's EA, that's the only answer to be given.
     
    edit: From the end of the trailer saying "The full song debuts in Dragon Age: Origins." I'm guessing that this is the credits music.

    ... on purpose. I'm assuming EA considers "RPG fans" an in-the-bag sale, so the majority of the marketing hasn't been for them, which would only sound like a good idea to someone in marketing.

    Well, it makes sense. When you know all the hardcore Bioware and WRPG fans are buying it no question why not try to go for some of the mainstream crowd? I personally haven't been too offended by the music as its been confirmed in several previews and reviews that none of the rock music is in the actual game.

    I kinda liked the lyrics to the song, but it the sound of it just doesn't appeal to me at all.  I also thought it would've been better to have a symphonic piece backing the video, even if that's a bit over-done.

    Spot on, this marketing has EA written all over it. Nothing about it speaks Bioware. Watch out for Mass Effect 2 trailers backed by Miley Cyrus, because EA know they already have the male demographic in the bag.

    The only song that comes to mind when I hear "This is War" is the original "This is war" with Ill Niño. If they made a trailer with the real song I would be stoked beyond belief.
