What is "modern" game exactly?

I expect it's mainly a puzzle game, like ICO, and I love that, because personally I enjoyed ICO a bit more than SotC - both are great though.

Maybe when we start to see more the game past that trailer, then it'll start to look a lot more interesting.

The carrot on a stick formula.

While I can appreciate the art direction I found ICO and SoTC to be boring as hell. I'm really not into artsy fartsy games, gimme something I can play and dig my teeth into within 5 minutes please.

Never played ICO or SoTC so I don't fully understand it. Definitely in wait and see mode on this one.

It really looks like a slow game, which I love to play occasionally. So I'm still excited. I think it looks great, not necessarily technically speaking, but at the least it's unique (although it does resemble Ico somewhat of course). The gameplay doesn't look all that mind blowing... for now. We'll see.

If anything the game's lighting and physics are fantastic.

Well sales for the previous games tell you it is an acquired taste. If you don't like slower paced games, it won't be for you.

If this is like how SotC was(which was slow but was fun as heck), then it's not gonna be boring for me.
