Between constant pushing from Sony and the media at large deciding it's garbage long before playing it, this is a mystery to me. It'll sell well despite the linear = bad narrative in media coverage, but the hype level is super unclear.
BTW, I can't imagine where gaming would be today if it had to deal with the "do something new or GTFO" attitude back in the NES / SNES days. Cry about first / third person shooters all you want, like 80% of all games back then were sidescrolling platformers (or had platforming elements).
