Not to 'jump all over' this post, but have you played the game?
You know 'how' it plays? What it feels like? What the story is? A non-playable E3 trailer is not a game, unless that's what you think next-gen games are.
When the game comes out, then posts like these can be written, not a year before.

For me, I am one of the few who really enjoyed Kung-Fu Chaos (ok, i loved the game). While this game is nothing like KFC, I don't think that their gameplay skills have magically disappeared.
And, to be honest, if all of the devs on this board sent me a list of the games they were working on, I would buy those also.

Quite evidently not. We'll always have a range, graphically, from good to bad. Next-gen systems aren't going to herald an era of visually equal titles. If anything the difference between the good and the bad may be even more pronouced. Heavenly Sword, for me, is on the upper end of what I've seen sofar.
As for the rest...

...wait till the game comes out, and you've played it, before casting judgement. I think it's very difficult to get any sort of handle on what the story is about, for example, from the trailer we've seen. Perhaps that's your complaint? If so, perhaps I agree, but I don't think that was the point of the first trailer, and I'm sure closer to its release you'll have a better sense of what the game is about.

Arguably games as a whole still struggle for any kind of "emtional depth" with a couple of notable exceptions perhaps.
I accidently spoiled part of the game's plot for myself, but something major happens that has the potential for "emtional" charge. It'll all depend on execution, of course. I'm not sure, though, if that's what the dev is aiming for, or not.

Not to put words in Deano or Ninja Theory's mouth, but I think the story starts out with the girl learning she's going to die in a short while and decides to go for broke and take out the evil kingdom that she once worked for or something. Memory is pretty fuzzy though.
I think the E3 trailer was more of an impressive tech feat rather than a total summation fo the game. There was a lot more in the way of controlled combat prior to the army scene. I myself don't like the idea of standing taking a character into the midst of a hostile army and whacking out 5 or 6 enemy in one hit. Sounds like a button masher. But the rest of the combat scenes show more of a proper fighter dynamic.
