If we recall history the whole story was a bit different. Sony didn't have their stuff together obviously (no wonder considering the hardware) so they had to show something to the public. Remember the FF7 intro? Yeah, that also was a good laugh and just made up, of course. Nothing wrong about it if you say that stuff you are showing is made up.

I also remember when they showed PS2 to the public and made people believe the opening scene of FFVIII could be rendered in realtime on PS2.

These are obviously things to make people believe in something that just isn't there but I think nowadays we all take those vids with a grain of salt (MS did this, too, with the first Xbox, IIRC).

I'm not sure about the other games but I just think that they didn't intentionally try and mislead with the KZ2 CG trailer. I say this because E3 was held between the 18th and 20th of May. Not sure when they showed off the CG trailer but GG said in an interview on the 18th that it was CGI target render. That date is pretty much exactly the same time that the revealed the game. To me that sounds like one PR guy (Phil Harrison) not getting the memo.

If Sony we're trying to deceive people then why would they announce it straight away that it was a CG trailer? Plus the CG target render was talked about by GG and they say thet they had to show what they could produce and they believed, after researching the PS3 specs, they could achieve this. I don't believe that the CG trailer was a cynical move by Sony or GG.
