'Missing' sound effects, washed out textures (maybe a stylistic choice, but it just looks like low resolution), the voice acting sounds kinda... iffy (at least the Japanese sounded a bit better).

I was really looking forward to this game, but what they've been showing recently has gradually been putting me off, or at least, been lowering my expectations.

Wow. I feel like trailers are getting worse this year. It is either wobble bass or boring these days.

Really interesting trailer. Game itself looks great, except for the QTE's.

Was that lightning coming out of his hands or the pure, unbridalled power of over-acting?

Asura with eyes looks wierd. Awful trailer, and not just because of the lack of sound effect toward the end. After how over the top and awesome the previous trailers were, this is a big let down.

Whilst ths game looks gorgeous I'm starting to think its just button mashing between lengthy quick-time events. If that's the case, this is a no no. Really hope I'm wrong about that because I love the design of the characters, the world itself, the plot seems interesting if turning into something a little cliched.

The dude who voices Asura sounds alot like E Honda or random capcom fighter voice. Am I the only one who heard " Out of my way!" at some point while watching?

Why does he look like a stone guy when his wife and daughter are just normal humans? Kind of weird.

Wish they'd get different voice actors for these games, feel like I've already heard Asura in 20 other games

He reminds of a rock skin version of kratos...with fewer daddy issues and more arms.

So, man betrayed by gods, goes and kills said gods, and is angry through out the whole story...

Lot's o gruntin'. Never realized just how silly it could sound without background music fighting for dominance.

@NXH: Bayonetta turned out fine enough. I'd welcome any japanese GoW clones if there is even a slim chance of getting something special.

Bayonetta wasn't a God of War rip-off. If you need to call it a rip-off of something, it would be Devil May Cry. There is a big difference :p

The dialogue sounds like lines that are shouted by characters in fighting games before they do their special moves.

@sideshow:

I agree sadly. It sounded really cool, but this story is getting more and more cliche. It will come down to gameplay.

The set up makes the story look a lot lamer than I thought it would be. I kind of like the character designs but I guess I was expecting more of a monkey king parable than a God of War rip off. The stylistic choice of having subtle music cues instead of actual sound effects is pretty cool and I hope the sound effects in the final game are good.

i think it sounds decent and the voice actor that does the voice of Gara from Naruto is the main character the story seems interesting but i could see some textures that just made me feel like everyone was made of wood or something
