1. Kinect Star Wars Failed E3 2010 Presentation - On-screen character moved before the user did.
2. Ubisoft's Promise to Delay AC Unity - Ubisoft claimed Unity would be delayed if there were problems. Game launched on time with many technical issues.
3. PlayStation 3 to Run Games at 120 FPS - Kutaragi claimed games on PS3 would run at 120 FPS but the system hardly had any that ran at 60.
4. Watch Dogs' Graphics - Ubisoft claimed graphics weren't downgraded but hidden PC files showed the actual graphics settings used in the E3 2012 trailer. The difference was considerable.
5. Peter Molyneux - Almost everything notable he ever said about his Fable franchise.
6. Project Natal - Presented as a breakthrough in modern AI, voice commands, and motion gaming. Turned out to be nothing but a scripted tech demo.
7. Killzone 2 E3 2005 Trailer - Sony claimed the trailer was running in-game assets. After much pressure, a new trailer was made using actual in-game assets.
8. All Xbox One Consoles Are Devkits - Wasn't true at launch and is still not true a year later.
9. Dead Rising 3 is Xbox One Only, Ever - Capcom firmly denied claims of DR3 going anywhere but X1. Even PC. Dead Rising 3 was announced for PC almost 7 months after its X1 release.
10. Aliens: Colonial Marines - The game was nothing like what it was marketed as. Both Sega and Gearbox continued to lie about it until a class action lawsuit took them to court.
11. Dark Souls 2's Graphics - Trailers showing Dark Souls 2 for PS3 and 360 were much better than the actual product. It was a worse downgrade than even Watch Dogs.
12. Xbox One DRM Switch - Major Nelson told Angry Legend the console was designed around the policies and they couldn't just "flip a switch". Not long after, Microsoft "flipped the switch".
13. Xbox Will Offer Toy Story Graphics - Bill Gates claimed the Xbox would be so powerful that it would produce visuals on par with Toy Story 2. Never came close.
14. Mass Effect 3's Ending - Gamers were told that their decisions during the first Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 would ultimately shape the trilogy's end. Those decisions had virtually no impact.
15. Final Fantasy 13 Screenshot - To stop fanboy arguments, Square Enix posted a screenshot comparison between PS3 and 360 to show they looked the same. Later they admitted both were PS3 images with the control scheme edited.
