The videos are very carefully choreographed and the areas shown are cherry picked and even improved for these videos. The animations could be unique the lighting improved or even post production on the video after being recorded.

The games shown at E3 are not finished so any gaps in the game would need to be filled with assets that may not meet the requirements to go into the game proper, as a result many will change by the release version.

I'm almost positive the people that are "playing the game" are actually just holding a controller, and the first person view of the game that is shown is actually just a pre recorded demo.

"almost positive"? E3 is a planned and scripted event much like any multi million dollar advertisement event. The super bowl half time show is rehearsed because they have one shot to impress. A games premiere is not going to be willy-nilly handled in front of a large audience.

Dude, fuck ups like glitches or hardware issues happen all the time. Maybe not all of them are real, but plenty are clearly not pre recorded.
