I'm actually really looking forward to this game. I can't wait to play a little action DnD with my table top DnD group.

Why would they show such shotty gameplay. The combat hits look like it has the same lag the online game has. *sigh*

What this world needs is an actual turn-based 4th edition game.

There was a lack of daggers in this trailer. 
And a lack of penis jokes, as well.

It's called World of Warcraft. AM I RIGHT? HUH? HUH? GET IT? 
 
All joking on the general not-greatness of 4th edition aside, they really do need to make a new D&D RPG.

So,  is the DnD community not fond of the 4th edition? Ugh, I  should've suspected that there's some kind of "elitism" going on. Like in any other field of interest, really. Still somewhat demoralising. I'm just getting into it (as far as I can at least, don't think my friends are up to play it, which is why I'd love an RPG) - thanks to this:  http://www.wizards.com/dnd/podcasts.aspx

@fr0y0: I believe this has been said a few times before on the internet, but "haters are going to hate". I've been running a great 4th Edition D&D campaign for my friends for two and half years and we've enjoyed it tons. Also, I think there's a game called "Neverwinter" coming out that uses 4th Edition but which may be more like the old Neverwinter Nights line. That might fill our turn-based 4e desire. Maybe.  

Here's a link to the not very informative webpage: http://www.playneverwinter.com/

Agreed. 
 
Although the rights to the Infinity Engine games finally got worked out, so that's something at least.

I had no issue with the NWN series, except the wierd camera controls. Put an over the shoulder mode in that game and I'll go back to playing it tomorrow 
That being said, how deep is this hack n slash? We talking arcade guantlet or is there an actual plot with real DnD choices?

I am interested in this game, but that trailer did absolutely nothing to show what the game will be like or why I should care. F-

Those podcasts are what got me into D&D as well!
 
The D&D community certainly has its fair share of snobs/fanboys defending their favorite editions, but that doesn't mean you or I or anyone should enjoy the hobby any less. Since it's my first foray into non-videogame RPGs, I've tried 2nd, 3.5, and 4th editions and loved all of them. I have to admit 4e does show some significant MMO influence (but you could say that videogames were influenced by earlier editions as well...), but that's not a big deal to me since I'm familiar with video games and I role play enough that it doesn't detract in any way from my game.
 
Anyway on-topic: Game looks cool if for no other reason than I like D&D, but also kinda generic. Then again, not a lot is shown in the trailer.

Hack n' Slashers belong on downloadable networks. If this is half as fun as Gauntlet Legends (Dammit Warner Bros., please realize you picked up more from your sale of Midway than just Mortal Kombat already!), this will be awesome.

Remember when Microsoft limited all downloadable games to 50 megabytes?  Man, those days are long gone it would seem.  This looks pretty good for a downloadable.  The real crux will be in how it plays, though. I'm hoping for a QL on this one.

Its comforting to see that they have dummed down their video games as well...the writing is on the wall.  DnD is doomed.

I hope this will be hack n slash fun w/ loots and more importantly multiplayer (local and online, and both maybe).  Can't wait to see GB's quick look of the game if they have one.  I love GB's quick looks. :)

@Spatulalad: I didnt like the 4th edition at all, felt more like an MMO than an RPG. Every class has energy/mana now it seems. It will translate VERY well to computer and videogames though.

I want my 1st edition D&D magic user. Cast magic missile, shield or sleep and then carry the parties 500ft of rope, 3 10' poles, grappling hooks, 5 weeks of dry rations, and a gallon of holy water for the rest of the adventure. Or until I fall into a 10' pit and die because I only have 1d4 hit points and I rolled a 2., now those were good times.

It's all that arcade glowie shit floating around
on screen that is a bit ridiculous.  Fuck, I wish
they would downplay that crap, not blind the
screen with it.
