Besides logic and common sense? Did Konami just happen to produce the most realistic CGI anyone has ever seen out of thin air?

Thin air? how about dedication and research? I'm not saying for sure it's CG, but CG is always evolving, anyone can take it to the next step with the right research and tools, it's just a matter of time.
 
The guy's face looks amazing, it looks true-to-life, but it looks "animated" to me. Not that it has any CG tells, but the movement just looks deliberately crafted. Normal people don't emote like that when they're talking unless they're hammy actors.

Well, I did say that I don't believe it's CGI. I just don't get the argument of "here is the second pic, it finally proves all of you CGI people wrong".
 

dave is ok

aztek is ok

Do you really think this guy is the head of a development house no one had ever heard of before this game, which happens to look exactly like Metal Gear, announcement?

He is a hammy actor

are you serious?
all it proves is that its modeled after a real person -__-

I think you need to be the one asking yourself that. If you look at that pic and keep insisting its CG I have a bridge in London I would like to sell you.

People want to believe but that background is the same one from the interview. Its just a weird interviewee trying to be weird for the sake of being weird and people are reading more into it.

You have to ask yourself something with this too, if it really was CG, what you would be witnessing would be historic in terms of fidelity and execution. Use Occam's razor.

Hah, people really think that wasn't a real person? :O

Btw, why did Geoff let himself get used for this? Oh right, Doritos Pope...

*Cranes neck upwards*

Hi guy, up there on your high horse.

He's a very visible media figure in an entertainment industry. There's nothing wrong with him having and making some fun. The criticism for Doritos Pope was absolutely warranted, but this isn't even remotely similar.

Besides, Geoff Keighly is only a journalist in the same sense as Mario Lopez. He's entertainment. You should expect fun, gimmicky, collaborative stuff like this from him. I'd actually like to see more of it, instead of this bullshit overly-serious path that the internet (myself and GAF included) has forced industry reporting down.

I hate that people keep saying this. He's a host, a gaming figure, a person who is supposed to do stuff like this. He's not a games journalist.

This is what Geoff does. Helps promote games.

You want bad things :(

This is all fun and games and all of us realize that Geoff isn't really a person we should be looking to for objective views on ANYTHING because you can't ever tell if he's being candid or if he's being the hype man he's paid to be by everyone in the industry.

I just wish he'd tone down the caricature a bit sometimes and at least try to appear genuine.

Then that's likely the case, don't you think?

Rather than Konami wasting their effort to create an almost imperceptible CG lookalike for a show that airs after midnight and will only be viewed by a couple hundred thousand people max.

"Videogame journalist", that's the first job he lists on his twitter.
the last thing he's supposed to do is help promote games. That's what he does, though, yeah.

on topic: i dont believe it's CG from what i've seen but i really really hope it is.

Kojima rendered see thru nurses clothes and is about to give a big speech on Fox Engine.

Why would he even want to discuss the fox engine unless it does something special( I would hope).

Zero's looked great, but is it GDC speech great?

and the dudes face is wrapped in bandages. Some people are acting like they are seeing the whole face.

Holy Shit! Everything makes sense after this gif!

Joakim is from Norway.
Vikings are from Norway.
Metal Gear Solid deals with techno bullshit like nanomachines.
Joakim is Techno Viking!

Technoviking was born to usher in a new age for humans...

Once again, you're going to the most extreme possibility instead of taking the obvious one: the guy is a shitty actor with exaggerated gestures.

This is so silly.

of course I'm going extreme (it's not that extreme)


this is neogaf



but seriously I've already stated that it could be either or


CG is more fun.
I could totally see Kojima serving us appetizers before the big meal

Cleared up the Twitter image a little. Tried to offer more definition. No matter what I did there was no definable definition on the neck area.

Also worth noting that messing with the levels of the image showed some rather interesting artifacts on everything apart from his head. Suggesting a higher resolution image has been layered atop the low resolution body.

9GXNPVB.gif


Points worth noting:

  • The upper eyelids only half drop. The attached skin doesn't move at all. (i.e. the eyebrow, the recess below the eyebrow)
  • The lower eyelids simply don't move. I don't know about you, but I can't move my upper eyelids independently of the lower. More-so, when you are shocked or taken aback by something, the natural is to winch/squint.
  • The point of light in his pupil doesn't move in relation to his head movement. In fact it's static within the pupil at all times.
  • The shadows around the bandages on the right of the image are not consistent with the head movement

remember you said that.

I think it would be more embarrassing to be convinced it IS CG when it's not, than vice versa. I mean, if it turns it out is CG, the doubters can easily say "Wow, that's really impressive, it fooled me!". If the "believers" are wrong, it's "Hey... that guy acted weird so I thought he was animated"

Jesus Christ.

Times like these I wish GAF brought the laughing smileys back.

It's like people have never seen an actor over-emote before in a low-lit space.

remember you said that.

Please do. I won't be the one mistaking real life for perfect-quality CG.
 
I am really enjoying some of the GAF-Detective work in this thread.


I appreciate the investigation. I do have a question. What was the real purpose of this Interview? I mean, the little Fox Engine thing at the end couldn't have been what this short interview was about was it?


I honestly do not think it is CG, so I am really trying to find a purpose. There was nothing new revealed. Why do you meet someone in a hotel so they can tell you that they cannot say a thing then show you some images that reveal nothing on an iPad?


If Mogren is CG, then I get it, Kojima is god, trolled us all, and this is one of the most clever "advertisements" or PR stunts for a game I have seen. However, if Mogren is not CG, then this whole interview makes not sense. It was simply to say that at GDC you will not what the game is and what system it is for. Kojima could have tweeted that.


I think the fact that nothing was really revealed, the 2 were never shown together, and it was so short has people grasping for a deeper meaning.
