Considering their last game, EYE, which was like some wonderful fusion of Warframe and Dark heresy with the game being 40K in all but license, it's probably going to be awesome.Just for an example of what you could do in EYE, you could hack doors in a manner similar to games like Deus Ex.
Then the door hacks you back.
Dear lord, as long as they don't let their one-armed intern code the UI again...

It's rendered in-engine using the models they made for the game. The alpha models.
That doesn't really mean much. Most trailers (that look way better than the game itself) are rendered in engine. What an engine is capable of in the hands of a developer often greatly exceeds what it can do for a typical user.
We know that it's a first-person shooter. We know that 4-player co-op is a go. We know that the makers of the game have working experience with developing first-person shooters with deep RPG mechanics. E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy had a lot of fething problems, but the majority of them could be attributed to a low budget.
The game still has the potential to be absolute dogshit, but those three factors above are enough to make me feel at least cautiously optimistic.

Trailers look superb. For now there were only some photoes of screens where persumably som people were playing actual game (some sort of alpha). I'm afraid that we'll get some sort of L4D clone, I would want some kind of compane with plot personally.
They might have chosen the music because they're going to give the game a Spaghetti Western feel. A small group of heroes or a single hero against a mob of enemies making a last stand against all odds.

Only if one of the terminators breaks out into the guitar solo.
Ask yourself: have you rated a gallery image today?

I am tempted to ask one of my animation buddies to do that.

I like hip hop and even I can't stand the music in this trailer one because the lyrics and music are just god awful and two with the exception for a few situations hip hop music seems horribly out of place tonally and aesthetically for the Warhammer universe.

I still can't believe people still have such a bug up their arse about the music.
Who gives a feth. Seriously. Who actually does give a feth?
Do people honestly think this is the music we're going to be hearing in game? Because I highly, HIGHLY doubt it. This music played in the trailer is the sort of stuff I expect to hear of the credits or maybe, but again unlikely, during the opening trailer.
Really people. The bitching about the music has worn thin. Give it a rest and get over it.

Music sets tones, and atmosphere.
I mean look at lord of the rings or game of thrones, what would happen if all of a sudden all of these glorious soundtracks suddenly were given to hip hop or justin bieber?
The music wouldn't fit. It doesn't help set a tone.
Music is a tool used by creative teams to help build interest in a game. Personally I just see this as terrible tone setting.
The beginning was great with a low bit and solemn music. Then the illusion was shattered by this out of beat and horrible sounding song.
It rips people straight out of the experience and oh look CGI seen that before.
This is not better than other cinematics. This is a really crappy trailer it doesn't help tell a story, its just sort of there.

Let us start a contest of “Deathwing trailer with more appropriate music”. I will propose a few entries:

The first trailer instilled a sense of epicness that was helped along by the orchestral track playing the background - this one? I felt nothing, not even an urge to purchase the damn game.
Odd choice, but I suppose I get people's enjoyment - music being what it is.
Has anyone seen any actual gameplay though? If this is truly going to be a 4 player co-opFPS set in a Hulk, I'll be all over this even if they have ABBA playing as the soundtrack.
