well Kojima Productions speciality is attention to detail.

they are very meticulous

I understand this, as I've played since Metal Gear on NES. I just don't think it was CGI, it was a random guy most likely. It seemed awkward because it was pre-taped and stitched together.

 

[lazer_bean]

If it is shown to be CG at GDC what will you guys convinced it isn't say about it?

well i'll admit I was wrong. What's the big deal, huh ?

i hope you realize we all want it to be CG because that would be mind blowing, right ?

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

We're all CG to a certain extent.

Think about it.

And some people want to be Superman and well.. you know what happens.

Think about it.

How many do we have now? 10? We should be able to make a soccer team of faulty units.

 

[EloquentM]

Kojima and joakim are laughing at us all right now.

I don't think Joakim is laughing right now, he looks hurt.

 

[dark_prinny]

Seems really weird, if he is a real person he is under the effect of some hard stimulant, I'd say coke. Lots of it.

 

[Ace Harding]

*squints*

Wait a minute. That part where he sort of half-blinks looks really, really weird.

I'm not saying its CG, but if that is a real person his face moves in really strange ways.

Have people already suggested that there could be a mix of a real person with CG? It would be pretty fitting. "People couldn't even tell that the shots alternated between real life and Fox Engine!" Even if only that last shot was CG - the only one IMO that looks suspicious - this would be a pretty impressive PR stunt.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

LOL, so a bunch of nerds who never leave their basement, try to tell us that that person is CG.
How would they know.

That person is clearly not CG.

Never laughed more at 8 second long videos :

I work with a guy who pronounced it Sky-Ream

 

[KungFucius]

Of course he is real. There is no way in fuck that he could be so detailed in terms of his mannerisms.

The fucking ending was hilarious.

I'd rather call it overacting.

people half-blink, it doesn't look mechanical at all, just some dude trying to look wacky

Geoff Keighley never actually existed

in reality, it is an advanced artificial intelligence created by the Illuminati to shape and sway public opinion on gaming-related media, it's sole purpose to control and manipulate the minds and thoughts of millions of gamers worldwide.

 

[Fried Food]

So what happened to the mustached and sun glassed version of Joakim?

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Ok, then this guy may be the last hidden gem of the Actor's Studio, because that partial blinking on his eyes are not something that you do without training ( or without snoring )

 

[Ace Harding]

I guess. I can't make my eyelids move like that.

Is the shadow on his neck "blinking" just due to compression (of the video or the gif)?

Thats the part that bugs me the most

The half-blink, but that doesn't necessarily mean its CGI

hmmmm

NO.

You can't control blinking.

I don't think you can animate such bad acting so well The guy was weird as hell i'll admit, but CG? Pfff GAF you gone off the deep end now

Damn. I'm not at all convinced its CG still, but I would say its not impossible that there is some kind of CG happening along with real video of a real person.

I can't stop watching that half-blink. Its like, slightly too slow or something.

 

[Kyoufu]

Look at his eyes.

That's CG.

 

[Fried Food]

I like when Geoff was commenting upon the images. We got some concept art, great. Oh some screenshots.

In his usual proding tone.

Geoff is great. Shame on anyone who doesn't get him.

I'm all aboard this crazy train.

Yes, the more people put Joakim in their avatars, the more his power rises!

 

[slightconfuse]

Wouldn't put it past kojima to something this crazy

 

[Voice of Reason]

This is definitely CG. I can't believe people would think otherwise.

Just goes to show that the leap next-gen isn't so small like some say it is.

I think this is the answer. Mix between the two.

 

[Prime crotch]

NO.

a tic, looks involuntary despite the pantomime on that gif; also we're focusing too much on that what 3 sec compressed gif clip

I would imagine it would still be prerendered, right?

Its called acting....this seems to be just part of the marketing campaign for the game. I mean the trailer puts across this mood of confusion and things not seemingly being real. Why not use that same theme to market the product?

oh and not CG. its laughable why anyone would even think that, unless Konami has more money and prowess with CG than anyone at any movie studio.

I can't imagine how people would overanalyze the seconds where her face was laid bare and say how the facial expressions were off.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

I think he could be CG, basically a floating head, shitty answers, funny accent ... theres a lot of misdirection in the interview.

I believe it.

 

[R0nn]

Just throwing this random thought out there.

What if some of the shots are CG and some are a real actor, just to throw us off?

Have people already suggested that there could be a mix of a real person with CG?

Dammit!

Just checked his twitter https://twitter.com/JNMogren

I'm honeslty shocked to find out that this account has been active since before last night

In fact he was talking about the phantom pain back in december. His second tweet was about the phantom pain.

This guy is legit. I'm dying to know what his twitter avatar was before this current one.

 

[Router]

The crazy is starting early this year I see.

Looking forward to GDC.

 

[KKRT00]

It could be offline CG, but no way its in-engine. It would also cost a lot to do this.

Err no. I know that twitter account and it's just a troll.

 

[Jarlaxle]

This thread is hysterical.

 

[superbank]

Nope. I've seen a lot of CGs in my day, I can tell by the pixels etc. I even watched at 360p which should hide a lot of missing details compared to 1080p. Joakim is the swedish composer.
