So here's a question for you.

For those of us who saw the E3 demo and then the Jimmy Fallon Demo, you will notice that they looked VERY similar even down to a few minor details. So it begs the question, exactly how much of the Jimmy demo was scripted and more importantly the E3 one? 

OPM has done a side by side comparison of the two 

OPM concludes that whilst the two are identical, there are noteable minor differences, which suggests that the play style was scripted to get the best effect, doesn't stop me from being disappointed.

You are dissapointed because ND wanted to show the same thing of E3?

The only thing scripted is the initial patrol of the "evil dudes".  The game director just wanted to show the same stuff as with the E3 demo, that is why the play style is so damn similar.  You can see how he is actually waiting to get shot so that people see how Joel reacts to gun-fire.  No other game has that kind of reaction to gunfire, because the protagonists are some kind of a bullet sponge.

At the beginning, the evil guy was in the same position as it was on the E3 demo, because that is his "normal patrol"; and that section was played exactly as the E3 demo, so the scene is the same.

You can tell that the game will be very different if you want to, because it is just plain stupid to pick up things while everyone can spot you.  The best course of action would have been to sneak behind the furniture, and try to kill everyone stealthy.

If you stand in a location when the AI detects a useful item, Ellie will pick it up.   It just happen that the guy went to the same room, so she grabbed the brick. THEY WANTED TO SHOW THAT.

The AI is actually trying to flaking you, as you can see at the first fist fight.   Remember where Joel was at first, then everyone saw he entered the room.....what would have been the best course of action of the evil dudes??  The AI is trying to close the 2 possible ways of exiting the room.  So when Joel wanted to exit the room thorugh the other end, there was a guy ready to kick his a$$.

ND want people to see what they intended to show with the demo, that is why they are playing it in the same way; with minor modifications because he is not a cyborg which can repeat every movement exactly the same as before.

I really dont see what is the problem in that.

EDIT: I just sign up on OPM uk, in order to write the same in the comment lol XD
