CES 2012: Intel awkwardly live demonstrates ivy bridge game performance using a video

"The following trailer is captured directly from a PLAYSTATION 3 system"

"That's playing a video created by a high end render farm..", Was the bit they forgot to tell you...

Cringe-worthy.

First post nails it perfectly. I have seen demos that try to pretend a video is real but it's like they didn't even try. You see him start the playback. Then they show his hand movements not remotely corresponding to the directions on the game. Course then he walks away while it's still playing.

How do you fail that fucking badly? I mean It literally floors me at how insanely awful they failed there..

He does say at the end that they're controlling it from the back or some bs.
 
“DO NOT FOCUS ON ANYONE BUT YOUR CUSTOMERS. YOUR REPUTATION WILL FOLLOW YOU FOREVER SO ALWAYS BE FAIR TO YOUR CUSTOMERS, AND CERTAINLY ONE THING YOU NEED TO ALWAYS REMEMBER IS THAT YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE NOT GOING TO BE FOOLED. SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH SOMETHING AND JUST HOPE PEOPLE WON’T SEE THROUGH THE BULLSHIT. THE INTERNET IS WAY SMARTER THAN ANY OF US"

bam
 
As you can see from the previous Video Intel's next generation video accelerator technology allows for seamless playback of High Definition video while at the same time the CPU is able to process complex data from various game controllers. This innovation is only possible using Intel's Ivy Bridge generation of processors.
 
I think the reason Gabe typed that in all caps is because he was screaming it at PR departments everywhere.

Way to come across as a joke Intel.
 
I think he was just joking / trolling.
Even said he wasn't controlling it (but he said it was controlled in backstage instead of being a vide)
 
Sorry for the OT here but what's the problem with VLC exactly? I've been using it for a while and love it. What's considered the best video player nowadays then?

Just curious...

I'm not a VLC hater, and I actually find it a must have program on all my computers, but for watching Divx stuff, I have never seen better image quality than MPC and the madVR plugin.
 
Whats wrong with VLC? I use that player all the time.....

Recommend something better.
I think the reason why people are laughing at VLC is the fact that you can clearly see it's VLC. Anyway to answer your question, I have heard some good chime on Media Player Classic though I prefer VLC personally but it's a good lightweight alternative nonetheless.
Edit:
I don't understand why people always bring up the Kinect pre-E3 reveal show. Have you ever been part of a choreographed event? Of course it's going to be pre-recorded.
It wasn't just the Cirque du Soleil stuff though, the footage on the conference itself was also faked.
