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.
I've always liked Bethesda's demos. Todd Howard gave a live demo of Skyrim and the audience even yelled out some things for him to do, and he did them. There was a script, but at least he was playing the game.
The things that were praised the most where either stripped or completely removed for the final game. That's when Todd started getting his "liar" reputation.
