I think it's frigging bonkers that anyone would believe any aspect of it.

But you gotta admit there's a lot of strange things going on in the video. Weird shadows disappearing and then appearing again, strange facial expressions, different lighting as if both are in different rooms, Geoff's questions don't seem natural as if nobody is in front of him, they are never in the same shot etc

 

[macewank]

Has anyone with a twitter acct. complimented Geoff on his amazing sleuthing on spotting the Fox Engine logo?

no. nobody with a twitter account compliments Geoff on anything. other than his doritos pope hat

 

[winstano]

Did they use the sound effect? :O

They really should've done, it's just so obvious right now that it would've been hilarious

Oh, and the lighting under his chin thing? Yeah, that's just pulling the iPad up and turning the display off.

 

[mgcastro]

Hilarious speculation. Indeed something about the interview seems off, but it's impossible that guy is cg.

 

[PFD]

Come on guys, no.

.

 

[Stark]

Nope, he just gasps.

They really should've done, it's just so obvious right now that it would've been hilarious

Wasted opportunity!

 

[Tenrius]

I think it's frigging bonkers that anyone would believe any aspect of it.

First rule of any ARG: This Is Not A Game. Believe.

EDIT: But seriously, this is just a good opportunity to go crazy and get a couple of laughs. Nothing too serious.

 

[Kafel]

did the guy explain why he has bandages ? (I didn't watch the video)

did GTTV explain why they're doing infomercial by being taken for clowns ?

 

[Kusagari]

His face does look odd when you look at the gifs, but anyone's probably would if we started intricately examining them to see if they're CGI or not.

The 4chan speculation instantly put the thought in our heads.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

did the guy explain why he has bandages ? (I didn't watch the video)

Geoff: First of all, I should ask... What happened to your face are you ok?

Joakim: Yes, I had a little accident, but I should be good by GDC - coming up.

Thanks to Takuya for translating the interview on previous page.

 

[Charoncaori]

"accident". There's a full transcription a few posts above you.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

What if.

Joakim is Kojima who merely is doing mocap for the character model for a real time demo. We'll probably see Joakim on screen at GDC whilst Kojima talks to the audience.

Okay, probably too far fetched...

 

[Stark]

Thanks to Takuya for translating the interview on previous page.

Wonder if he'll take it off on stage.

 

[Tenrius]

Wonder if he'll take it off on stage.

It's me, Austin. It was me all along!

 

[Truelize]

So what is the verdict right now? Is the bandaged guy real or CG?

 

[EatChildren]

Not CGI, not by a long shot. But also a good bit of fun. I'll never understand people who moan about this kind of shit.

 

[Alienous]

The fact that we can even question and debate this makes this day momentus for gaming.

 

[Ace Harding]

did the guy explain why he has bandages ? (I didn't watch the video)

They are an online video network called "Game Trailers." Why would it even be weird that they are helping to serve a publisher with partnered content (for mutual benefit)? That is exactly what they do.

 

[angular graphics]

Depends on if you are a member of the Carnival of Stupid or not.

 

[Arozay]

Compare the mouths when talking.

I had to...

 

[Double D]

I love this crap, but this guy is neither Clifford B nor CGI. What's next, guys?

 

[Dr.Acula]

I had to...

Oh man... the cheese dust on the lip. It's beautiful.

I love this crap, but this guy is neither Clifford B nor CGI. What's next, guys?

I'm pretty sure he's not even Swedish!

 

[Persona86]

Alien.

Can't wait for someone to suggest it's Kojima with make-up, prosthetics and so on.

 

[RoKKeR]

...I mean I somehow doubt it but I suppose it's possible. The interview was very odd and seemingly scripted, so it's possible.

This has been one hell of a cock tease.

 

[Misterinenja]

They cloned Snake in real life.

 

[Betta Lines]

...I mean I somehow doubt it but I suppose it's possible. The interview was very odd and seemingly scripted, so it's possible.

No, no it's not.

 

[Charoncaori]

This is better than the funny pics thread, bwahahaha!

Not CGI, not by a long shot. But also a good bit of fun. I'll never understand people who moan about this kind of shit.

I haven't had this much fun with a game teaser in ages. I love shit like this.

 

[Prime crotch]

At the most, I'd be willing to concede it might be Geoff after being delivered a script by Kojima, you're trying to take stuff from the vid as proof of only that he's cgi, not that this might not even be a game developer or other options.

 

[Misterinenja]

Which is CG?

 

[marrec]

Which is CG?

Trick question, the CG guy is hiding behind the blinds.

You can see in the sharpness of the iris.

 

[Toma]

What marrec said.

 

[dark_prinny]

I love this crap, but this guy is neither Clifford B nor CGI. What's next, guys?

Darkman.

 

[subversus]

I work in Zbrush too. You can make a great static model but try animating that convincingly.

well, yeah

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

well, easily was just a figure of speech. Of course there is blood, swear and tears involved (as always) but it's certainly possible.

 

[Demon Ice]

Even Avatar's CG isn't that good.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

In a talk called "Photorealism through the eyes of a 'FOX': The Core of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes," he will discuss Kojima Productions' creation of the multiplatform Fox Engine, which will power upcoming games. Kojima's talk will also include a demonstration of the Fox Engine.

Source

Kojima knows exactly what he's up to. Pretty sure this pre-GDC segment is going to be brought up at the event in one form or another.

 

[marrec]

Even Avatar's CG isn't that good.

Legend of Korra's CG rivals it though.

 

[Persona86]

I was leaning towards CG but the neck veins and movement is too realistic, so maybe not....

 

[SniperHunter]

Am I the only one who doesn't find all this Phantom Pain nonsense funny or interesting? Kojima needs to deliver big time IMO, his studio only released one game the entire generation and it was a steaming pile of horse shit.

Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeros trailer was interesting but it was mostly a cut-scene...Kojima needs to show some good gameplay running at a decent frame rate for me to get excited.

 

[Koyuga]

Whether its CG or not, that interview definitely gave me feelings of uncanny valley.

 

[marrec]

Whether its CG or not, that interview definitely gave me feelings of uncanny valley.

Geoff's done that to me in real life though, so it's understandable that he'd do that to you in video too.

 

[Tiduz]

ok so everyone knows Joakim Mogren has kojima in it right? has it been discussed that when you remove the M and the n at mogren you get OGRE? aka PROJECT OGRE?

Yeah no. Even if you didn't like it that much you can't say it was a pile of horse shit with a serious face. It was a huge critical and commercial success and pumped life into early PS3.

 

[fabprems]

I have to say that the look in the eyes reminds me a bit of Brad Pitt, especially when his left eye winks a little bit

Haha, that was a good one.

Late to the Party.

You missed the VGA's right?

 

[Tenrius]

Way back at the VGAs.

 

[SniperHunter]

Yeah no. Even if you didn't like it that much you can't say it was a pile of horse shit with a serious face.

It really was. I tried to play it again once the trophy patch came out, but I just couldn't.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

Related, but kind of not on-topic. Look very closely at the laptop in the picture Kojima's just tweeted.

That sure looks like Keighey's picture from about 12 hours ago, doesn't it (at least the top half does anyways)?

Phantom Pain for Mac confirmed.

 

[shuri]

After all the marketing push that the Doripope and GTTV interview, I can only imagine the final review score this game is gonna get.

Am I the only one who doesn't find all this Phantom Pain nonsense funny or interesting? Kojima needs to deliver big time IMO, his studio only released one game the entire generation and it was a steaming pile of horse shit.

Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeros trailer was interesting but it was mostly a cut-scene...Kojima needs to show some good gameplay running at a decent frame rate for me to get excited.

It's completely idiotic and it's a serious reminder that Kojima needs to stop messing around with the MGS Franchise. It's obvious now after MGS:R that the lesser to Kojima's madness the game is exposed, the best the final product is.

If the way he handled his subject wouldnt be so freaking childish, he would get a pass, but after the clusterfuck that was MGS4 well.. I hate using meme images but:

Kojima's handling of the subjects comes off as it MGS4 was written by an alternate reality 15 years old version Alex Jones high on energy drinks after a 12 hours viewing binge of conspiracy videos on youtube. It's like he losts touch with reality or something and his scripts are just copypasted subjects. He needs an editor.

The entire MGS franchise has the potential to be such a classic pseudo sci-fi/military video game storyline, but its getting drowned over and over again by Kojima pulling a waddatwist.gif over and over and over again; and it gets worse with every new MGS installement.
