KOJIMAAAAAAA

 

[More_Badass]

So it's Laurence Fishburne?

The guy is currently during an podcast audiodrama. A video game isnt out of the question

 

[Lernaean]

It's real and it's CG.

 

[immortal-joe]

Carnivals of Stupid... have changed.

 

[eso76]

I mean...We know how much Kojima falls prey to his crushes, but even he wouldn't cast 2, let alone 3, actors from the same show.
He just happened to have Hannibal figures nearby.

And why is no one paying attention to the Beatles there.

 

[Icolin]

KOJIMAAAAAAA

WOAHHUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I want this to be real so bad, but I'm sure that video is fake, and not because of the animations or that it looks to "lifelike" or anything like that (don't doubt Kojima Productions' insane animation abilities after MGSV and the Death Stranding trailers), but because of the intentionally bad quality to hide that it's fake.

I still maintain that Emma Stone isn't an unrealistic actress to have in Death Stranding. Besides, Kojima's been hinting at it for a long time, whether it was him saying he "met with an actress [he's] loved for the past 10 years", or the Lionsgate beanie on top of the mocap mannequin, and his recent retweets and tweets on Twitter, especially the one of the La La Land vinyl next to the Death Stranding vinyl.

 

[ZoyosJD]

Wow, if this is a fake, whoever did this went all out.

[edit]

Looking at the gif and picture side to side, those are differently two different things.

That still looks really good for a fake, though.

Really elaborate. It still fails to convince.

Light from the googles is there, but is more visible despite brighter ambient lighting conditions.

The helmet disintegrating reflects light off the arm, but not the hair. Also no particles.

Cuts right before hair animation would take place.

Added black goo to skin, but still zero on clothing. Makes me believe the uniform is real.

Waves moving with greater amplitude than in original trailer. Vegetation also swaying in background.

i personally think it's fake and this instagram post is proof it's fake...but there's that one fuckin part of my brain that says maybe

That looks like it's live action aka fake

 

[sinkfla87]

Dancy IS a huge overactor, which makes it no surprise he married Claire Danes.

That being said, I think he fit in well on Hannibal overall, for the most part. It's a role that required a bit of scenery chewing.

I didn't even know those two were married. Makes sense like you said. I can barely watch Homeland thanks to Daines' constant eye twitching, fidgeting and always appearing to be on the brink of a cry fest. I want some new DS footage, Kojima!!!

Can you explain your rationale of why this is proof it's fake? I can't figure it out.

how can anyone think this is real?

you can clearly see alone from the movement and even with the blur that its not animated and just live action.

Fake as fuck

 

[Lernaean]

Quite the contrary actually. Real or not, this is CG.

 

[mrlion]

I kinda agree all I see is "Its live action its fake" and "fake fake fake". I've been a filmmaker for 15 years and I can't even tell lol the graphics for Death Stranding are so amazing you can't really tell from that blur.

 

[CEJames]

What's this thread about

My waifu. In Kojima's next ultra superific mega awesome game.

 

[Baroquemantic]

I sure hope this game isn't a dud, because if it really does have all these celebrities in it, I wonder how expensive it will be. I guess it's a good thing Kojima is using a Sony-owned engine as that could save on costs?

 

[Raxus]

Between this and the bandaged guy, Kojima can certainly play you all like fiddles.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Just compare Emmas nose with the one in the gif

Emmas nose has a flat ridge near the top(making it a little bit wider). The nostrils on her nose are also bulbous around the bridge(meaning more width.)

The nose in the gif is too narrow.

I'm gonna go with this being someone cosplaying and then editing in the effects.

 

[HMD]

That's so fake, just look at the clothes they look like cheap fabric from the way it moves, a cg animation wouldn't have cheap looking fabric.

Exactly. She doesnt even look like Emma Stone.

Also it isnt flawless CG because the green from the lenses are moving for a second in place before they are supposed to be taken off.

 

[Glasshole]

It's really well made. I'm going with fake tho, only reason being that the goggles are way too low for her eyes. That's an oversight Kojima wouldn't allow.

 

[tensuke]

Not to mention, why would she be doing the exact same thing Mads was doing, dressed the same, with the same black eye makeup. Other than the fact that it doesn't look real at all.

 

[Sir Blaming]

At this point, I won't be surprised if Kojima got Emma Stone in this game at all. It would totally be a kojima kojima thing to do.
On the other side, if its fake then.....eh?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Good catch

Kojima wouldn't make a mistake like that.

 

[Lernaean]

Good catch

No need to have evern worn them, a simple google search will show you that night vision goggle lenses are lower than the eye line in most models.

It could very possibly be fake, but cheap fabric and lenses lower than eyes are not real arguments.

Instagram account is named the_waves_extinguish_the_wind. Which is name of a Russian sci-fi novel.

The principal characters are Maxim Kammerer and Toivo Glumov, both working for an organization which investigates "Unexplained Events" (UEs). Their investigation of a series of events leads them to believe that they are witnesses to a new action by the Wanderers.

After much investigation, the UEs are discovered to be the work of a secret society called the Ludens.

 

[Arklite]

I love Kojima threads

 

[Sayad]

Oh, shit! It's happening again isn't it?!

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

My only wish is that this new carnival of stupid was about a new Metal Gear.
It just adds another layer to the dumb shit people try to pick apart or connect.

If it's fake, they really went all the way making it look like Kojima's style. Even those effects are like... no one just shat that out, they really went for it.

Good shit either way.

OK. OK. OK. OK.

I was 100% sure that this was fake but now I'm not sure. This is such a Kojima thing to do.

 

[hichanbis]

I really don't get why one would cast Emma Stone when he can have Emma Watson.

Spoiler

I'm kind of serious within my joke

Halfway into the game

Emma Stone is blown away by a shot from a huge cannon, and all that's left is an Emma Stone statue made of ash. The ashes blow away, revealing Emma Watson. "Kept you waiting, huh?"

 

[daitoqu]

Instagram account is named the_waves_extinguish_the_wind. Which is name of a Russian sci-fi novel.

Year ago Kojima tweeted about film Hard to Be a God,

Bought Alexei Gherman's HARD TO BE A GOD. I wanted to see this film so bad.

which is screen adaptation of a book Hard to Be a God written by Strugatsky brothers.
...and yes

The Time Wanderers (also known as The Waves Extinguish the Wind) is a 1985 science fiction novel by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky

Haha I've been lurking this thread highly skeptical but now it could be we're all being fiddled!
Kojima has said trolling fans is as much a part of the development process itself.

But at the same time, that new clip screams fake to me.
Wow I'm lost.

 

[Ydelnae]

Hey guys why don't we call Emma herself to find out if this is all a Kojima ruse?

 

[ActWan]

omg I don't know what to believe in anymore
I wish it's real tho, love Emma Stone!

 

[Diancecht]

Hey guys why don't we call Emma herself to find out if this is all a Kojima ruse?

hey emm do you death strand?

yes

thanks

Yeah, I'm leaning towards #TeamReal and Kojima's fucking with everyone.

Her fingers are weird because she is grabbing air.

 

[EatChildren]

Kojima fans should be institutionalised.

 

[Roufianos]

Holy shit. I'm glad we're not getting any more Metal Gears. His Hollywoof boner is out of control. Seems like Kiefer was just the start.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Definitely live action
