i swear a lot of people did not read the OP...

I believe the only two games at the Sony conference that were CGI had gameplay shown later on the floor so I don't see how thist statement makes any sense.  I can't speak for MS as I didn't watch that one.  

While I'm sitting here surprised that anyone could not be excited after that video.  Different strokes for different foks I guess.  

I think a CGI trailer is just a way to blow a lot of money to explain the concept of a game.

As longs as they are not trying to pass them off as in-game graphics, CGI trailers are fine.

I think it is far worse demoing gameplay on a $4000 PC, and letting people believe that is how the game will look on a $400 console.

I think it's fair to stop at "This E3 was infested with full CGI trailers during both MS and Sony press conferences.". Because it's completely false.

I'm with you on this one, I can only think of 2 CGI trailers for Sony, you know how many were in MS?

i thi it's fair to read the OP rather than people commenting base on the title... which can be misleading.  To be safe i think people should read the whole post before saying yes or no or their opinion.

I think like 4 (Phantom Dust, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crackdown, Scalebound) but they're all coming in late 2015 or later so there just isn't anything to show yet. That's when CGI trailers are great in my opinion. Otherwise we'd just get a logo like Nintendo does.

True, and I respect that.  It just wasn't a game. I only get excited by games.  At least titles like Uncharted and Zelda were in-game scripted scenes and from existiting IP's where we know what the gameplay will be like.  I suppose you could stretch Darksouls over what was seen from the Bloodborne CGI and imagine something great.
