Why the hype?
It's a game made by Crytek, a rapidly growing developer whose previous games (Far Cry and Crysis) were widely acclaimed and heralded as having some of the best graphics tech available. Honestly, playing Far Cry on PC with all the settings up high and the scenery is still comparable to many games today.
On the gameplay side the original Crysis had large open areas, scenarios that you could deal with in your own way and combined some innovative abilities not seen in your typical military shooter. If they can replicate and enhance some of those elements then the game should be good.
