Chiaroscuro, the use of contrast between light and dark for dramatic effect. The cutscenes seem to do it quite nicely. "

Thanks for the history lesson, but what does that have to do with the term "5 dollar cinematic"? "

Great Quick Look, I'm definitely going to grab this DLC now. It looks much much better than I was expecting.

This just sold me on the whole game.

Really awesome DLC.  Like another person has said, the difficulty goes up dramatically near the end which can get a little... tense.  Before the DLC I hated Pigsy as a character.  After the DLC I loved him.

I still have the full Enslaved game in shrink wrap waiting to be payed after I finish Darksiders and Assasins Creed Brotherhood. I'm thinking I might get this first before playing the full game since its a prequel. I don't know if that's a good idea or not.

so does this beat minerva's den?

I need to pick up Enslaved and Nier. Didn't get around to playing them in 2010.

The gameplay reminds me of Beyond Good and Evil. Great game - I must have played it 5 times. 
 
When it goes up on XBL and PSN, BUY IT.

This appeals more to me than Enslaved itself. I like the world but Monkey looks like a guido to me.

The DLC is amazing, anyone who has Enslaved should get it.

Watching the quicklook of the actual enslaved kept me from buying it but this quicklook got me to purchase it. I can't put a finger on it but this looks a whole lot more fun than the actual game.

People who say schedule with a slient "c" should also say school with a silent "c".

This looks way more appealing than Enslaved.

To anyone on the fence about this DLC: I played this in a single sitting the night it came out -- it's FANTASTIC. Better than the main game and completely different in terms of tone and gameplay. If you have any interest in pleasure and joy, buy it.

I prefer this kind of DLC that fleshes out characters/areas more in a game than just costumes/weapons though still not liking the character style in the game despite the animation/powers of Pigsy.

I like how Pigsy is such an unlikely character.He is not some generic good looking tough guy, or battle hardened vet or something.It is cool to see games break stereotypes sometimes.

I can't believe I missed out on this DLC.  Going to have to pick it up immediately.

This looked much better than the quick look of the main game. I may actually buy Enslaved now.

Where the hell was the marketing department when it came down to this game? 

I just finished Enslaved and loved every minute, even the weird ending.  I have the DLC downloaded already, just waiting for me to get done with NFSHP, but I think I'l take a stab at making Enslaved my third platinum trophy.

 Are there any spoilers in this quicklook?I haven't bought the main game yet.

" so does this beat minerva's den? "

Finally a video game character that 40% of people can relate to!

This looks great, but I wish this was just a stand alone downloadable game. Rented and finished Enslaved, just don't want to own it.

jesus I'll watch this later when it doesn't rebuffer itself every 1 minute. 

" @Curufinwe: Do you say hoop like you say book? "

For some reason, I just don't think Enslaved is for me.

" Are there any spoilers in this quicklook?I haven't bought the main game yet. "

Someone should just make a whole game like this.

Wow! The original QL and the demo completely turned me off from playing Enslaved, but this actually looks really cool. I almost want to just play this without playing the main game.

I freaking love Pigsy's dirty ass undershirt.

that robot is full of love

I laughed for a very long time at that comment.   This should totally clear the air.  Webster's American Dictionary's only 2 pronunciations of schedule: " \ ˈske-( ˌ)jül, -jəl " All else are British or Canadian... and therefore, wrong. Also Canadians do say book like a normal person says hoop. "

Dammit. I REALLY didn't want to get this, 'cuz I hate Piggsy and -really- who wants to play a game as a fat guy? But man, Vinny & Brad, you're enthusiasm for this thing is contagious. I LOVED Enslaved - and hate the gamers who ignored it - so I'll definitely check this out now. 
Though I gotta share one nugget of info here, since you rightfully seem so into the cutscenes and the tech in Pigsy's. Well, two things - one, check out the promotional Heavenly Sword shorts Ninja Theory cut for that game, 'cuz they use a very similar rendering technique and, again, appear somewhat like a stylish anime. Here's a link to Youtube:

Secondly, according to Game Informer's exclusive coverage, Ninja Theory originally pitched Enslaved as a CG movie for Hollywood studios. They wanted to show off that you could get a theatrical quality visual out of using Unreal Engine 3, and do a feature length CG movie on the cheap using these powerful game engines instead of stuff like Renderman (what Pixar uses). But no Hollywood studio would bite, even with the super low (relatively) price point. So Ninja Theory converted everything into a game design and - voila! - Enslaved was born. So you better believe that thier cutscenes would be top notch. Just thought any fans would like to know that;) I highly suggest checking out Game Informer's excellent, exclusive coverage for the game.

I think I'll be buying this. I Love Enslaved. That's one of those gems where you can feel the love they put into it.
Terrific game!

Oh man, this looks freaking amazing. The QL for the original looked like nothing special, but this and the GOTY discussions have convinced me of finally buying this game. Can't wait.

Enslaved was a great game, so might have to check this dlc out. 

Ive never played Enslaved. However I do enjoy the stealthyness of the game as well the character you play as is far from your stereotypical badass hero.

This looks alot better than the actual game. I really didn't enjoy Enslaved.

"For fuck's sake, not every single mother fucking story needs mother fucking DLC. I don't care how good this content might be, the story was fine as it was. Can't anyone just tell a story from start to finish and leave it as a single full piece, anymore? It doesn't need DLC as an epilogue. Or further in-story details. Or sequels. Or Prequels. This is the one title of the last year that I thought was certain neither to need nor get DLC. "

Not really feeling this game, personally.

ohhh, ohhhhhhh, OHHHHH... ohhh :( 
 
ahahah
