just meant Konami as a whole. there are clearly some talented facial artists working for the company.

That's not really how publishers work, but okay.

 

[Sephzilla]

Kojima is a Twin Peaks fan I take it?


Also to the CG theorists, why would they go through the trouble of a CG interview when they can hire anyone off the street and bandage up their head? It's such a ridiculous waste of resources

The answer is pretty obvious.... because they're trying to sell how great the FOX Engine is.

To reveal the awesome tech they developed and reveal that people believed that he was real at GDC.

I request a renaming of the thread:
Anomaly Hunting |OT| It's still real to me damnit

 

[Mikey Jr.]

It is easy to take a still frame and say it is CG.

But that interview was not a still frame.

It was a man talking. I don't care how realistic your skin is, it is about the eye movement, mouth movement, and that was NOT cg. I know you guys want to believe so fucking much. But it just isn't.

You think Kojima is going to announce a game? Lol phantom pain exists inside of all of us and only when it is out can we truly walk free of pain. This is the instrumentality of the human race. You know it to be true.

Spoiler

To show off the engine.

..but....but.....believe....

 

[Sephzilla]

Pardon me if someone already covered this on here, but I'm just copying what someone said on Destructoid, because it was somewhat relevant to this.

I figured out why it's called Moby Dick Studios!

Moby Dick was written by Melville. Filmmaker Jean-Pierre Melville took that author's name because he was a fan of Melville and Moby Dick. Jean-Pierre Melville's second film?

Les Enfants Terribles!

 

[Majine]

Give me a game that trolls me at the same level as MGS2!

 

[Cbajd5]

Everyone's wrong.

He's totally a robot. They just need more matching skin to finish his face.

 

[Persona86]

FOX ENGINE X VERSUS XIII AT E3 BELIEVE!

 

[Mr. Fix]

Liquid's the real protagonist.

Anyone know what the deal is with the shadow of the railing here:

Yes, because a big burning whale wasn't enough....

The cuts were very weird tho. Seemed like a very staged interview.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't say it's CGI, just that it was not conventional. Then again, it was a dude with his face in bandages, and we're talking about Kojima... everything is possible.

Nanomachines my friend.

 

[PairOfFilthySocks]

Remember this FOX engine teaser? One is real one is FOX engine.

This image is silly. It's way too small to have a chance to tell which is which(even though I can see what appear to be freaking jaggies on the right images) and, conveniently, no high-res versions of this were released.

 

[benny_a]

Anyone know what the deal is with the shadow of the railing here:

They are called CG steps. They occur when you divert 99% of your power of the engine to make the head and face look and move ultra realistic. The 1% is used for the rest of the frame.

 

[Persona86]

Everyone's wrong.

What if this is some sort of brainwashing, the guy has been brainwashed by Kojima and Co, and truly believes he is a developer at Moby Dick Studio. It would explain his strange brainwashed expression.

Look at the horse above and tell me it doesn't look magnificent.

 

[alr1ght]

Noted game journalist Geoff Keighley would never participate in a CG interview hoax.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

One more thing: He has a tight bandage wrapped around his face and nose. He must breathe through his mouth. Take a roll of bandage and do the same. Check how "natural" you will look and feel.

Trying to act a scene in this condition must've been hard as fuck for the poor guy.

 

[Persona86]

I think the main point the image shows is how good the lighting is and how good lighting makes things look realistic.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Ehh, sharp hocks 6/10 would not mount.

 

[Sephzilla]

Well, real or not they certainly took steps towards at least giving the impression that it's potentially faked. Specifically DoritoPope and NotKojima never being in the same frame.

No wonder Geoff looked so jagged, all them Joakim polygons.

N64 version confirmed.

 

[block tower]

found this Fox Engine screenshot online from gamesradar. that the eyes kind of resemble how the Joakim Mogren are angled, not saying its him just saying this is an early render

 

[Apocryphon]

Yes, because a big burning whale wasn't enough....

Presumably this is sarcasm. Hard to tell on days like this.

An early render from 2011. Right.
..

GAF kill me now.

Seriously. I don't want to live on this CG planet anymore.

Low lightmap resolution - done to conserve memory most likely.

Enough CG for today, good night.

Graphics Horse, how does it feel like to be rendered in CG? To know a better looking horse with more polygons might await around the corner?

 

[velociraptor]

CG? No. Space magic.

 

[CaptainFalafel]

Presumably this is sarcasm. Hard to tell on days like this.

Well my sarcasms are rendered with the FOX engine, so that's why they are hard to tell. CG Sarcasms!

 

[Apocryphon]

Nice.

 

[alr1ght]

If that's CG, color me impressed.

 

[Meadows]

no way that's CG

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

what about stuff like this?

It doesn't seem like that far a leap getting from this to Mogren in 3 years..

[PaulExcellent]

It's so glaringly obvious which is real and which is fake in these

Can you tell me which is which?

Not even joking, I can't tell.

 

[TheNamelessOne]

That's some of the best CG I've ever seen.

 

[Tenrius]

If that's CG, color me impressed.

Is he crying in that first picture?

 

[KarmaCow]

Kojima probably posted the CG rumour on /v/.

 

[alr1ght]

Just watch it in HD.

B is rendered. Outside of shading, lighting and reflective differences, the frames on B have jaggies and are practically painted onto the wall.

 

[Graphics Horse]

And wtf at the guy saying you can't move your upper eyelids without moving the lower ones, does that mean I'm a mutant? I should give CG Professor X a call.

Thank you. I'm on my phone, and it is being a pain right now.
