The carnival of stupid is back in town. Sigh, thought this was the only one good thing about Metal Gear finally being dead and buried.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Kojima fans should be institutionalised.

They said, referring to those who thought Venom Snake was a body double prior to MGSV's release.

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

If that's a fake, then it's a damned impressive effort for one.

Body double was one of the most blatant "too obvious to be true" theories that many rejected because surely, surely Kojima wouldn't be this obvious with a repeated ruse.

Kojima fan crazy embodies an extra special echelon of madness.

Kojima fan crazy embodies an extra special echelon of madness.

But that's what makes it so fun. The fan theories are some of my favorite parts of Kojima development cycle.

 

[Theman2k]

Seems fake, the effect on the helmet isn't even close to the official one mads have.
It's glowing instead of disintegrate, like they faked half way the effect.
Also notice her fingers lifting the goggles, its acting by a real person.. seems like cosplay.

 

[Nev]

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

Because Emma Stone is an actual actress that can show emotion?

Although if they're going for a robotic videogame animation style Watson would be the better fit, that's true.

 

[Kyonashi]

That's absolutely live action, and not Emma Stone.

 

[Funky Papa]

Kojima fans should be institutionalised.

You are about to witness the combined angst of Kojima fans and Fannibals.

You ain't ready, child. Nobody is.

 

[eso76]

That's absolutely live action, and not Emma Stone.

I don't see how anyone can think otherwise, honestly

 

[hotcyder]

Kojima: I really like this thing - I want this actor/actress in my game
Sony: OK

 

[Juicy Bob]

I love Kojimaism.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

I'm on #TeamReal

Like Parappa I gotta believe!

 

[AAMARMO]

Come on guys we all know that is Grey Fox.

wow. if this is fake then whoever did this went seriously all out. I will give A+ for effort.

 

[WaterAstro]

I guess she's playing as an asian?

 

[Charamiwa]

It's fake because she does the exact same thing as Madds Mikkelsen, which shows a lack of imagination that can only be attributed to a fan trying to emulate Kojima.

If Kojima were to reveal Emma Stone, I'm sure it'll be something very unique.

 

[Kazuhira]

That gif pretty much confirmed that the whole Emma Stone leak is fake as fuck.

 

[Sickboy007]

#Believe

 

[Kinyou]

It's happening

 

[immortal-joe]

Kojima fans should be institutionalised.

I've been cleared by 3 out of 10 clinical psychologists. I'm fine.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

The carnival of stupid is back in town. Sigh, thought this was the only one good thing about Metal Gear finally being dead and buried.

If you don't like the carnival of stupid why are you here?
Its one of the best aspects of any Kojima game.

Honestly the speculation itself was better than MGSV.

 

[kubus]

#TeamReal

And with that, I mean it's fake because it's live action and not CG. Isn't it just a cosplayer?

 

[Acquiescence]

I don't expect Emma Stone to be in Death Stranding for one second, but if she is then wow, the game will be even more of a money sink than I had initially expected. Writing a blank check for Kojima is one thing, but there'll come a time when the higher-ups start sweating bullets at how much the development process is costing them. Maybe.

 

[Always-honest]

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

Oh lord i will never forget this. The amount of people who thought this was made in Fox engine.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Fake as all hell.

 

[Nev]

The way she moves her arm in the gif is too fast/smooth. It needs that underwater feel to be a videogame.

 

[Messofanego]

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

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

Kojima got good taste, that's a great film.

 

[Slaythe]

I'm team #believe !!!

 

[Messofanego]

Kojima fans should be institutionalised.

 

[SpideySenses]

Gone from #TeamReal to #TeamFake with that gif, unless the fakery is based on the original image being a leak.

 

[Solidino]

there's Tom Cruise too!!! Yeah!!!

Spoiler

took me 10 minutes to create this shit XD
I'm sure Emma pic is a fake.

obviously it's all out of focus eh?
What a coincidence!!!

Never heard it described this way before, but... it's accurate

 

[hichanbis]

Halfway into the game

Spoiler

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?"

Pure genius

 

[FusedAtoms]

Plus the effect on the helmet doesn't look nearly as good as the one on Mads in the trailer , it just looks like an orange flash and not like the helmet is breaking up into ash or whatever it is

 

[Wishmaster92]

there's Tom Cruise too!!! Yeah!!!

Kojimadence? I think not

 

[Tovarisc]

Can't be real, she has clothes on.

 

[UrbanRats]

If that's a fake, then it's a damned impressive effort for one.

People went through the trouble of 3d printing a fake Nintendo NX, anything is possible.

 

[casey_contra]

Team Real cause why not!

 

[OfTheOverflow]

Can't be real, she has clothes on.

Let's wrap it up folks.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

That's just Emma Stone except her makeup's got a little runny and she's wearing fatigues; what does this have to do with Desu Stranding?

Spoiler

Hair looks too good to be a game

 

[Seik]

Wow, that GIF.

It's real, I believe it, one would have to do quite a lot of effort if it's fake.

 

[Kyoufu]

I hope Kojima isn't wasting his development budget on more hollywood celebrities...

 

[Crossing Eden]

Wow, that GIF.

It's real, I believe it, one would have to do quite a lot of effort if it's fake.

That effect is not very difficult at all actually.

 

[Anton Sugar]

EAT THE RUDE

lol

 

[Brix]

Looks legit to me.

 

[Kamina]

Part of me still believes that Death Stranding is actually Silent Hills and all the Kojima x Konami was just a clever ruse,

 

[Hippolnareff]

I hope Kojima isn't wasting his development budget on more hollywood celebrities...

I think that was obvious as soon as he said he wasn't sure if Guillermo was even gonna be in the game.

 

[andythinkpad]

I love Kojimaism.

I call them Kojitrolls. They are the best.

 

[casey_contra]

Part of me still believes that Death Stranding is actually Silent Hills and all the Kojima x Konami was just a clever ruse,

Knowing Kojima I would only be half-surprised.
