I just came across two interviews where the devs (at least for one of them) are being honest about their work and instead of saying that their game is incredibly unique and has the best graphics EVER they go for a more honest and casual aproach to the player.
Here they are

and

Although the second one isnt promoting a game how does this affect you? Would it better for them to have a diferent attitude on the camera and not show their weaknesses?
For me this works, even more than a guy just saying that they have the best game in the world since it makes me see that the game is being made by actual people that put work in it and not by a corporate machine.
