It was a quote from an attendee who saw the game. How is that hyping? They were words from someone, not something the OP made up. |
Where did I say the OP made it up? No matter who said it, it's still hyping the game. |
Being excited for a game and talking about that excitement isn't quite the same as what is usually meant by "hyping a game." If you see the game in practice then it's easy to believe the hype and it becomes reality. Having genuine youtube-like user-generated content could be very important for console videogames. |
Merriam webster defines "to hype" as "to promote or publicize extravagantly". Is "most important game ever" not extravagant enough?

Is that quote from a PR person? Is that person "promoting" anything? No.
Mountain Dew was hype. Being excited about a game isn't.
