To be fair it doesn't have to be a great game, it just needs to be good for it's intended audience.
Looking at what the game was trying to do, the demanding physics of Trico damaging the environment with his/her every move, demanding AI enemies trying to chace the Cat/Bird around, with a well connected relationship between the player and Trico, in a big, but seemingly intricate open world I can see what the issues will have been in trying to pull that off on PS3, especially looking at the level of detail, it looked beyond PS3 and I wouldn't be shocked if that's part of the problem of why it never made it to PS3 and why it's not yet been introduced on PS4, because moving over to an 8th gen system, as an exclusive it needs to look the part visually and run well.
I think the hype level is only natural given all of the above.
The magic needs to be there, for the audience the game is targeted at. If people have hyped the game up too much, then that's their issue, but I doubt they'll be pissed if it turns out to be a a good game. That's all it really needs to be IMO.
