Gametrailers Best of E3 Awards: Most Embarrassing Moment

Awkward moments and epic fails abound in this lulzy roundup.

[Forrest Gump]

BAM there it is

[DasBunker]

i think the natal elephant thing took the cake IMO

[jessehaysfl]

I must say, finding out that there was "a man behind the milo curtain"...that's pretty embarrassing...

and sad I was really hopeing Milo was something really amazing...

EDIT: So the disagree is because I didnt want Milo to be amazing?

Please comment and tell me why you disagree don't be a COWARD.

And if you disagree that there was a controller running the demo then your just ignorant or stupid. you choose.

[Smacktard]

They pretty much nailed many of the embarrassing parts, actually. I'm surprised they mentioned the Shadow Complex glitch. I seemed to be the only one that remembered it :/

[krisq]

But not the glitch. The mic didn't work during presentation so they gave the guy a new one and he just passed it over. I'm surprised that didn't get on the list.

[jessehaysfl]

glitches happen....the game isint done.

it still bothers me that peter molwhatever straight lied about the Milo demo.

[Nik]

why give a crap about how many disagrees you have?

"...then your just ignorant or stupid.."

Your =/= you're, now who's ignorant... >_>

Btw I do think Milo is amazing even if someone was controlling him. I remember when Killzone 2 showcase was attacked for being prerendered, however, the final product turns out to be even better. Here's hoping "Milo" will be the same. I don't even own a 360 but I do like to see new technologies.

[Downtown boogey]

pic of the PlayStation Motion Controller engineers on the story...
Pure nonsense.

[Real Gambler]

Dang, why would someone pick Sony's motion controller, as the picture for this article is beyond me... People who post things here are that stupid?

[kunit22c]

lmao! at NIK are you serious? KillZone 2 and Natal cant even be compared, you see they simply had to work a little more on the game to get it working better we knew that there is technology to make it better BUT Natal is something totaly new and never tried before so it has a MUCH higher chance of failing considering they dont even know if they can do it yet because they faked it, so what if they cant get it to work? you see what i mean? with Killzone 2 they could make it better but with this they have to actually make it WORK. Killzone2 could WORK but they simply had to make it better.

[Face Palm]

"BA-BLAM there it is!" LOL! You could here sorta like suck in his breath through his teeth out of embarrassment before he quickly say "Let's go to the dashboard!"

I think Sony;s motion control is awesome but In all honesty, I thought the motion control's *presentation* was poorly done. The technology and tech demo were amazing but the two guys talking and playing were terrible! They one guy was stumbling over his words and the other guy was a total amateur on stage. The guy playing had bad posture, was lazy with his actions and kinda slow while playing; just the way he acted was very unprofessional. I'm having a hard time describing what I'm talking about with the guy playing, but hopefully you get the idea. tt wasn't an epic fail (or even a fail at all for that matter) but the presentation-quality was the best.

BTW I am not bashing Sony at all; I'm a hardcore Sony fan but I'm just saying what I thought of Sony's motion control *presentation*. Obviously the two guys were nervous but it seemed like they whipped up that presentation 10 minutes before going on stage. I'll probably lose a bubble and get 50 disagrees for that but whatever I guess :/

Another uber-embarrassing E3 monent was Ninten-doh showed off that lame style savvy fashion game. I was LOLing the whole time! 8 year old girls aren't watching E3 -- they're in elementary school -- and E3 is for hardcore gamers. It was clear Nintendo had almost nothing to show so they just killed time. Wii Vitality was a joke too; they just showed how they're going even further away from hardcore gaming.

[Face Palm]

Ever wonder what the bottom of an Xbox Avatar's shoe looks like?

[Xbox Avatars Shoe]

here's a link to the best remix:

http://www.vimeo.com/495262...

And here's the video of another funny one:

[Cliff Bull-Shit-ski]

i never saw any remixes

[brandonk129]

They fail every year at every E3 with their terrible console so why even bother when we know they come up with uber fail. Ever wonder what the bottom of an avatars shoe looks like? WABAM! There it it.

[Greywulf]

BAM there it isnt.

[IrishRepublicanArmy]

@shadow glitch

[KingKionic]

lol

Why wasnt the translator that didnt care up there?

[Shadow Flare]

Cos GT translator should be on the best of e3 list lol

[jessehaysfl]

Seriously...

[Uzesgelen_Goo]

haha nice picture (-^_^-)b

[Downtown boogey]

I didn't notice him making any mistakes

[DJ]

And then Hideo Kojima comes onstage after, and his translator is like "B*tches, I don't have to write nothin' down."

[xabmol]

James Cameron shouldn't have even been on that list let alone at #1.

IMO Tween 2.0 should have won. Ubi should never have even brought it up at their conference, and to have little girls go up and demo a hair stilling Wii game... FAIL

2nd place goes to Kudo. WhoopBAM!!

[qface64]

i didn't look at the video but if you ask me EA should have taken it for showing that girls cheer club or whatever it was

[OmarJA]

BAM! rofl two M$ nominees, well deserved hahahahaha...

LMFAO! @ glitchy Shadow Complex, typical from the Unreal Engine 3 on a broken console.

[stpiio]

someone's a fan of the new Hanna Montana PSP :D

[-x.Red.x-]

Hanna Montana PSP>>>>>>> ;>>>>>>>&g t;>>glitchy Shadow Complex
FACT

[heyheyhey]

BAM! instant new meme

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

"Ever wondered what the bottom of an avatar's shoe looks like"

That takes the win for most embarrassing award. 1:1 tracking? LMAO

[ChickeyCantor]

holy crap Cammie survived? LOL

Surprising non of the head corps didnt do a bad job...although i kept wonering why the people from ms kept cheering for themselves as they clapped with everything they said(not the audience the speechers clapped for themself..)

[PirateThom]

Cammie didn't really do anything wrong, if anything stood out from the Nintendo press conference as being embarrassing (based on GT's stipulations of talking for a long time), it was Iwata talking for ages before showing of the Heart monitor thing.

[ChickeyCantor]

I know, Cammie did fine this year...yet some people were still hating.
And yeah Iwata sometimes shares information no one gives a crap about xD

Not so much a specific embarassing moment, but an embarassing thing about E3 was the media getting absolutely suckered in by Natal.

Gaming journalists seem to be a cynical and miserable bunch for the most part - so failing to see beyond the Milo smoke and mirrors was a bit of a low point for me.

Second most embarassing thing about E3 was reading comments from PS3 and 360 fanboys - who had previously ripped in to Nintendo for the Wiimote - suddenly proclaiming motion controls as 'teh futurez'.

Final things for me... BAM! (need I say more); the use of the word 'definitive' by the Turn 10 dude; and the awkwardness of McCartney and Ringo.

[DaTruth]

I never personally said mo0tion control was stupid, I just thought the casual, standard definition games were stupid. Sony's actually looked like it could be used for hard core gaming.

Wish I could remember the name of that knight game from 2007; Then I could tell everyone to imagine it with that motion control. It was made by those guys that did.... That post apocalyptic RPG game... Oh yeah, Fallout.

[Demon5500]

Sony motion controller announcement should have been number one, when the doctor first held it up and looked at the device, it was like he was looking for a bit of poop on the end of it, or he was like i do not get payed enough for this bloody Kaz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Here you go check it out :)
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Jdoki]

When the Sony dude first held up that motion controller I seriously thought Sony had entered the XXX rated entertainment business!

[clintos59]

But hey atleast they showed it on stage and it was precise and looked fun as hell and easy to use unlike milo which the media praised even though there was a guy controlling and speaking for milo, lol. BAM, "Ever seen the guy hiding in the back speaking for milo"? lol hilarious stuff.

[kazan]

The first sec i thought like OMG what is Sony doing and yah it kinda look embarrassing but when they start showing the demo i believed it was the most impressive and accurate thing compared with the other's tech, and the most appealing to hardcore gamers,,only time will tell.

[trancefreak]

I agree the sony motion controller spoke for itself like the engineer said let it do the talking.

[Demon5500]

Dam it check out the pic, I had to use paint :) but you get the idea

update" wont let me upload the pic :(

[MaximusPrime]

comparing Natal and PS3 motion controller.

Natel
embarrassing moment: Shoes didnt work properly.
Possible cause: Natel not accurate enough, room too dark

PS controller
embarrassing moment: Tennis racket didnt hit the ball.
Possible cause: the player deliberately missed the ball/wasnt concentrating. Not the fault of the controller.

EPIC fail awards go to Natel.

[robotnik]

pfffttt they are so freaking laughable... how can they get so dumb?

[Demon5500]

He took more swings then it takes to play a round of tennis in wii sports, I would say that the tech was really early in its stage will just have to wait for Milo before we ride it off, But every body who used natal back stage said it was good, All I heard about Sony's motion control was 1) it was a direct rip off wii-remote and 2) It looked like a new sex toy.

sex station 3!!:)

[callahan09]

Umm, why does the accompanying picture for this submission feature the PS3 Motion Controller presenters? That was not nominated, and it doesn't belong in this submission.

[Ellessdee]

probably to entice sony fanboys into watching the video by making them think the article/video was anti-ps3 in some arbitrary way, thus giving them the perfect reason to come here and argue about how the competition is teh sux and how they are all whores for multinational corporations and like to suck sony's giant asian peenis (don't mind the oxymoron there). and of course it also attracts the microsoft fanboys who will claim it is somehow proof that they are better and ps3 is a piece of crap like they so deeply want to believe for some reason. they could of shown a picture of natal and gotten the same response from these silly people, but whatever.

[DaTruth]

It seems like MS fanboys would be more likely to want to see Sony fall flat on their face. I don't know, but that seems obvious!

I guess fanboys from a certain group are always looking to cast the other side in a negative light. Their work is unnecessary as fanboys will do the job themselves!

[3sq]

LOL, Shadow Complex glitches and Avatar glitches. These are so typical of MS. Bu bu but teh 360 was/is SOOOOO easy to develop for...yeah right...LOL again.

[jfx316]

no mention of Sony. Sony got though an E3 without someone screaming "Epic Fail"? I'm as shocked as you are.

[DJ]

Which is surprising, considering their whole presentation was pretty much live demos where anything could've gone wrong.

[DJ]

That takes the top spot along with "This story is based on true events in Japanese history. Now here's this Giant Enemy Crab..."

[dogmeat eater]

It was just james cameron talking about avatar and showing zero footage! What an awful E3 conference.

[I did not murder him]

I'd say Sony's motion segment should have won.

[n4gno]

what a surprise.

do you have a good salary for your ms marketing job ?

[DaTruth]

Why do you have to ruin a good movie by associating it with your fanboy antics?

[trancefreak]

iDystopia- YOUR SUBMISSION PIC DEPICTS YOU AS A FALSE NEWS CONTRIBUTOR WHO IS INCAPABLE OF SUBMITTING NEWS.

FIX THE PIC AND ALL IS WELL!!

[N2NOther]

Ubisoft's whole conference should have won.

[joevfx]

hahahaha natal

anyone, cameron shoudlnt have been on that list at all. he is one of the greatest film makers we have, and there was no way in hell he was gonna show a single image from the movie or game. we tried to bid on getting some shots to do FX on at my work and they didnt even show us anything,.

[ian72]

IMO the winner has got to be, BAM, there it is. So funny.
