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

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.

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.

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 ?

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.

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.
 
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...

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
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.

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.

...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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
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.

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.

Let me show you through these halls, my friend, where treasures of indie gaming await...
Geoff's done that to me in real life though, so it's understandable that he'd do that to you in video too.

Haha, that was a good one.

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

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:

ayee.jpg

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.
