Sony/Guerilla aren't hyping KZ2 at all. A lot of fans hype it due to the graphics that have been shown so far.

When you show a CG trailer, passing it as in-game footage a few years before the game is done, I think that counts as hyping the game. The fans' reaction is just what they want.

 

They released a target render in 2005, in-game footage in 2007, and a playable demo in 2008.  Not including a handful of screenshots.  That doesn't exacly scream hype. 

 

When they released that fantastic target render, they passed it off as in-game footage. Later it became known that the real game was nowhere near that state (at least not yet), which means they were giving the wrong idea. IMO, when you're so eager to show a game that you show it a few years before it's released, you're hyping it too much. Doubly so when you deceive people about the footage's nature.

 

So you feel what is essentially a tech demo shown at E3 3 years ago is over-hyping a game?  I think it's time to move on from the target render passed off as game-play discussion.  Sony and Guerilla have explained this many times.  Plus they backed up the target render with actual game-play footage that was near the equivalent of the render in 2007.
