‘Giant enemy crab’

One of the best things about E3 has long been just how ill-prepared some developers are when showcasing their games. The 2006 Sony display of Genji: Days of the Blade would inevitably become one of the most famous examples of spokespeople who do not understand their own product. Case in point: right after the spokesperson declared how realistic the game was, a kaiju-sized crab jumped out on screen.

The entire Genji demo was such a big example of cringe that “you attack its weak point for massive damage” and “real time weapon change” has lasted far longer than memory of the game itself.
