Come on, nowhere in this interview does it look like he is CG.

Watch the interview again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

Still think he doesn't look CG?

kujiba, pls

 

[Pie and Beans]

Oh god. Kojima what are you doing to peoples poor brains.

 

[d0g_bear]

I think his Swedish accent is faked?

 

[Wallach]

Oh god. Kojima what are you doing to peoples poor brains.

If they aren't going to use them he might as well.

 

[benny_a]

Easily done in zbrush... Have you used zbrush? No. Not easily. Nothing is easily done in that program

It wasn't easy current gen. But we're talking next-gen here.

MediaMolecule presents: Joakim

 

[thomasmahler]

Mogren = Moe Green = THE GODFATHER.

 

[bon]

I hope at GDC Kojima unmasks Joakim and then something like this happens.

 

[rvy]

kujiba, pls

everything was mgs

 

[Xater]

You guys are crazy for believing this is CG.

 

[Duxxy3]

Nothing is real.

We are all part of the matrix.

 

[Kaizer]

Oh god. Kojima what are you doing to peoples poor brains.

The same he's been doing for over a decade now - mindfucking us all.

 

[SmokyDave]

The fact that we can even speculate on this stuff gets me so fucking hyped for next gen.

Kojima is a genius.

 

[ArchedThunder]

The only reason why this kind of things wont compromise his "journalistic integrity" is because he lost it long ago

Spoiler

if he ever had some

He isn't a journalist.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Wow... that's some crazy conspiracy shit right there.

He's real, yo!

Spoiler

Thread title requires the word "SPECULATION" in it.

 

[MormaPope]

Where's the gifffffffs?

For Mogren? Here's one of the few.

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

This is hilarious.

 

[Charoncaori]

Come on, nowhere in this interview does it look like he is CG.

That's kind of the point.

 

[flipswitch]

I think his Swedish accent is faked?

Yep. Joakim will also be the lead character in Heavy Rain 2 : The Return of Jason.

 

[PaulExcellent]

For Mogren? Here's one of the few.

Man, that expression.

"Oh, damn."

 

[Makai]

I think his Swedish accent is faked?

Apparently, this is him and he is a Swedish developer living in Japan working on the FOX engine: https://www.facebook.com/ludvig.forssell

He is the new composer for the game.

 

[amstradcpc]

For Mogren? Here's one of the few.

You can see the shadow flickering under the chin.

 

[Wallach]

You can see the shadow flickering under the chin.

It's his iPad. The one you just saw him holding and now he's putting away because he "accidentally" gave something away.

pay attention to the motion blur on his hand

CG

 

[flipswitch]

For Mogren? Here's one of the few.

This is from the edited version of the interview where he spits at Geoff when he calls him CGI.

 

[Krusenstern]

The fact that we can even speculate on this stuff gets me so fucking hyped for next gen.

Kojima is a genius.

Well, he got us right where he wanted us to. If not unintentionally farther...

 

[apesh1t]

whoa, dudes, what if like....we're the ones that are CG and that guy from Moby Dick studios is the real one..........what.......man.......I'm so high.

 

[Misterinenja]

It's his iPad. The one you just saw him holding and now he's putting away because he "accidentally" gave something away.

Yeah sure.

Spoiler

This guy is a Patriot puppet and doesn't want us to see the truth.

 

[Dictator93]

This will go down in history as genius.

So much crazy non-sensical hype. I love it

 

[MrCunningham]

this is the site he is looking at..

Oh dear god at the Cliffy photoshops...

NeoGaf>Internet>NeoGaf strikes again!

People might be right about Geoff Keighley and Joakim Mogren were probably not in the same room together when they filmed that.

At the end, when he's doing the fake "I'm surprised" face, a shadow on his neck kinda flips out.

Seems hilarious enough to be plausible.

yeah I noticed that too... That is pretty unnatural, the way the lighting flickers for a brief moment on his neck.

Now lets just speculate that this is CGI, could the face be composed from different people? Could the eyes be scanned from Cliffy B (which is where people draw the comparisons?) and the mouth scanned from somewhere else (people say Hideo's translator or whoever?) ? But now this is getting into insane speculation territory.

I think his Swedish accent is faked?

I didn't hear him say "Bork, bork, bork, bork!" once. It's gotta be a fake accent.

 

[amstradcpc]

It's his iPad. The one you just saw him holding and now he's putting away because he "accidentally" gave something away.

and what about the walnut appearing and disappearing out of the blue, as well as the shirt collar suddenly separating from the neck.

 

[Deleted member 20920]

So you think rendering a few minutes of video would cost millions of dollars?

CGI is expensive

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=40119274&postcount=1055

Deus Ex trailer of a few minutes cost 2.5 million.

You either have no idea what you are talking about or are not realizing just how much work would go into something like this.

'They already have the graphics.' That made me laugh.

It's the same as the people who think that an FF7 remake will be cheap and fast.

"They already have the characters and the story and the graphics! Just make everything HD and they will make loads of money!"

 

[Shito]

It's his iPad. The one you just saw him holding and now he's putting away because he "accidentally" gave something away.

To be fair, you don't see him holding the ipad, only a close-up of someone doing it.
Not saying it prooves anything (I'm 50-50 on the whole matter, because I don't want to eat crows if he happens to be CG in the end), just that even with the "not CG" angle it would be pretty stupid to think the whole thing was done in a single sequence / same room.
Be it CG or a real-man, he's most probably not holding any ipad in his hands in the last shot. ^^

 

[Misterinenja]

It's not CGI. It's realtime Fox Engine running on PS3.

 

[Fabrik]

For Mogren? Here's one of the few.

On one hand Kojima is crazy enough to do it.
On the other end, if it's CG, he is gulping FFS! (Look at his neck)

Real or not, this guy is creepy as hell!

 

[Salsa]

is he human or is he dancer

 

[throwawayname]

and what about the walnut appearing and disappearing out of the blue, as well as the shirt collar suddenly separating from the neck.

Because it is flying bandaged head!

 

[Resilient]

The shadow flicker in that gif is pretty CG.

 

[Pie and Beans]

I keep watching it and start to question my own sanity. Theres like... some lighting quirks that really match to how Phantom Pain looked, specifically the lighting on this guy:

So if Mogren isn't CG, it feels like they wanted to fuck with people and get the lighting of an interview just right.

Oh god I can feel myself becoming stupid. Noooooooo. I will side on it not being CG. Because... fuck you Kojima.

 

[Violater]

This is stupid and also not CG, you people give Kojima too much credit.

 

[pswii60]

CG or not, I love this kind of crazy marketing. It's like the good old days again.

 

[aniki]

If I was showing off my hyper-realistic rendering engine with a full-CGI person in a fake interview I wouldn't have his eyes closed so much.

 

[PaulExcellent]

is he human or is he dancer

And I'm on my knees looking for the answer.

 

[Makai]

It's not CGI. It's realtime Fox Engine running on PS3.

There's a theory that the V in Metal Gear Solid V stands for Vita and not 5. If this turns out to be a real-time demo running on a PSVita I'll toss my PC in the garbage.

Huh?
No.

Never.
