Expectations like this are the kind that bring massive disappointment. Even if that were really CG, what does it mean? More cutscenes? Will stuff that looks like that even be in gameplay? It's one head. Put in all the other elements and I'm sure they'll start taking shortcuts then it won't look like that anymore.

I'm new to the thread so forgive me for repeating what has probably been said a lot, but those eyes give the CG away. I don't think I've ever seen a human do a slow half blink like that, unless they were purposely trying to.

That's still some really impressive stuff though.

Plus those eyeballs are huge. Thought they were going to pop out.
 
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!
I feel like I'm in the Matrix.
 
Just woke up and this is still going hey? :)

All we can really see are the eyes and mouth. The eyes do not move properly and consistently when he blinks.

His mouth? He never opens it whilst always speaking clearly. Nor does he have a tongue beyond two frames... when it overlaps his teeth through the corner of his mouth. And also breathing? His nose is taped up so he needs to breathe through his mouth.

Everybody try at home. Hold your nose, keep your teeth together and conduct a three minute interview. Your lips still need to move in an exagerrated motion. It isn't possible, not even close.

It is CG.

It's not that, I prefer it when they simply just show the cinematic trailers. I like what they did with Snake Eater. Although I can't recall if they did any teaser trailers or something akin to what they are doing now. I don't understand the point of what Kojipro is trying to do with this. I guess I will find out when everybody else does.

This is obviously using FOX Engine's cloth tech that Kojima showed a while ago. Look at the bandages.

Looks great. Kojima is brilliant.

If so, graphics have fooled me to the point where I thought they were real, which would be a big 'holy shit' moment.

Yes. I've never been "tricked" before, I could always tell what was CG and what wasn't. But if this was CG then it marks the first time I believed I was watching something real when it actually wasn't.

Crazy...

It's all but confirmed, just got off the phone with Joakim. The twist? He doesn't even exist! I was taking to myself. The phantom pain strikes again.

LOL dude, I'm dying on my end right!
 
Joakim blinks a lot, I don't see people blink that much. CG makes the renders blink to simulate reality but it always looks odd.

I kind of think its CG, not sure either way but put me down for those who will eat crow if its real.

This has got to be one of the best threads in recent history.

Kojima doesn't even need to release a game. This is good enough for me!

His eyes don't move properly because he has a bandage tied around his eyebrows, which restricts his eye movement. Try it at home with a scarf or bandana or something, your eyes do a slow half blink naturally, and it does look weird.

Wow, other than the dithering on the texture on his cheek, that's a pretty solid Kojima model. Hell, if they can do this, pulling off Mogren isn't out of the realm of possibility. Background is obviously 2D, but what can you do.

Yup, and the animation is actually pretty bad, soulless.

You're right, this is impossible. Not sure why people think it's not CG.

i think the "Moby Dick" name has more to do with the book than the film maker because there is a whale in the gameplay trailer (and the studio logo too)

Jealous of the Glory that is Johnny Depp
This whole Phantom Pain/MGS5 deal is the most elaborate ruse ever in gaming, I mean just fucking wow.

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.

I'm not saying that you can't do it, I'm saying that I can't. Trying it in the mirror I can get close to no movement if I go super slow and just let my eyelids relax, but even then there's some muscles flinching. But if I try to go at the speed of that .gif? My bottom eyelids move just as much as my upper eyelids.
