Yes! This looks pretty interesting, even if the music is a bit..weird. Do we really need them to change the lyrics to classic sailing tunes for a little girl singing them to be creepy?

What I think is so funny about this trailer is it shows how absolutely different games are from movies. If they showed a movie trailer like this, no one would watch the movie. It's would be like, so an hour plus of dudes getting stabbed? So what... LOL!

If I can serve the cause of face-stabbing by simply watching a trailer, I feel like I have done good today.

This looks like some crazy mash-up of Thief, Fable, Half-Life 2, Bioshock Infinite and Elder Scrolls. It could be amazing, or an utter train-wreck. Either way I'm a little excited
 
EDIT: after looking up Arkane Studios that makes complete sense

Meh. Not really impressed..all it showed were close up kill cams. I'd like to see an honest playthrough, or something more interesting than standing next to someone and slashing them. That isn't 'gameplay' to me.

Looks interesting but I don't think I actually know any more about what the game is than I did before watching the trailer.

Well shave my belly with a rusty razor, it's a Steampunk stealth game with magical bioshock powers.

@autechresaint: its just an pre-e3 trailer and not necessarilly focused on gameplay. You should just wait for a gameplay trailer, a dev diary, a quick look ex or something similar if thats what your looking for. Admittedly though it does a good job conveying the tone and atmosphere of the game. The art director's style really does come through and the environment is very reminiscent of city 17. Im also liking the fact that the uniforms are very reminiscent of WW2 Nazi Germany.

@HadesTimes: The funniest part is I feel like trailers like this do even less for me than CG trailers. I mean this didn't get me excited at all! Seeing your game in slow motion like it was never intended to be seen just makes the animation and combat look incredibly jerky and unsatisfying. I'd rather see a cool CG trailer that gets me excited or actual uncut gameplay footage than a montage that (I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt) doesn't do your game justice at all. Seriously. This was awful.

I feel like this will kind of fill in the Half-Life 3 and Bioshock void of this year for me. :-) Obviously not as good, but a decent stop gap. I loved the song, but blood almost never looks good in video games so I'm not sure why they chose to show it over and over in slowmo. Haha.

Looks like Bioshock, HL2, and Borderlands got together, had a freaky three-way, and one of them caught pregnancy. This is the result.

Throat slitting: the game!

Not sure how I feel about this one. The environments look really nice and I like the long-legged mech like characters, but not sold on the game play. I suppose it's hard to tell based on the trailer alone. Could be cool.

The art in this game is... interesting. It definitely looks like Bioshock and Assassin's Creed had some weird steampunk love child to make this happen, but I'm vaguely interested in it.

The big combination of Half-Life 2 and Bioshock that this game evokes practically guarantees I will never play it. Just totally not interested in everything about it.

I'm digging it.

But why with everything else looking so great are the blood and burning effects so shitty? Hopefully that's just ebcause of the slo-mo.

One of my most anticipated years in gaming ever. I was finally able to start working, too.

Dishonored. 1313. The Amnesia sequel. Assassin's Creed 3. Metro: Last Light. Even Hitman: Absolution, if it doesn't turn out to be Conviction Part 2.

And I need to immediately start saving all my money. God. Dammit. Time to replay The Witcher 2 and see what's up with that dragon...

This shouldn't come out at the same time as Bioshock Infinite, they're too similar.

There certainly was a lot of throat-cutting in that video, and the music was pretty creepy.

What really intrigued me is that you can apparently possess rats in the game. I'm looking forward to the E3 presentation for this so I can learn more about it.

All that graphic violence toward men is no problem though, right?
