[DerZuhälter]

Might be right

Shirt wrinkles are also CG'd? C'mon son.

 

[Mutombo]

Definitely not CGI. Look at his eyes. The eyes are alive. No CGI will ever be able to create eyes with a soul.

 

[Bollocks]

So, /v/ posted a theory.

LOL, so a bunch of nerds who never leave their basement, try to tell us that that person is CG.
How would they know.

That person is clearly not CG.

 

[MormaPope]

You can see it in the last scene.

Yeah, you're right. It blends in with his shirt to the point of barely being able to see it.

LOL, so a bunch of nerds who never leave their basement, try to tell us that that person is CG.
How would they know.

That person is clearly not CG.

Show me the noble, prideful place on the internet, for I need pure and lively websites.

- It explains why the two are never in the same frame together
- It explains the bandages
- It explains why the game being on the Fox Engine was the big reveal.


1. Maybe Joakim's part was pre-recorded? He could have sent the finished recording to Keighley. He only has to sit in a hotel talking to a wall. Then GT goes on movie maker and cuts in Joakim's part. It's not like this is new.

2. Maybe because the character from the trailer has bandages too?

3. Could be, but an engine is always a big reveal.

Oh well, the fact people even think about this makes Kojima a winner.

 

[Darryl]

this would be such a huge waste of resources if true

 

[DrBo42]

dude, you're so behind it. such details are easily done in Zbrush.

I work in Zbrush too. You can make a great static model but try animating that convincingly.

 

[Alexios]

No... Especially when we've already seen how a similar model looks in that game... 10000x improvement in a few months?

The interview is obviously a ruse, but not because it's CG, because it isn't.

 

[rvy]

:lol

Nicely done.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

I'm no expert but that really doesn't look like cg.

 

[DrBo42]

I'm no expert but that really doesn't look like cg.

Because it's not. The carnival of stupid is back in town.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Any oddity with the way he looks is because he's in front of a green screen. People always look a little off when there's a green screen behind them.

Yeah, was it even a hotel room? Looked like a studio to me.

 

[Grief.exe]

You guys are single handedly bringing the quality of GAF down a notch with one thread.

Think about it, even if it were possible, how would they get the funding to pull it off?

You think Konami would approve what would cost at least a million dollars for some obscure show?

Ridiculous.

 

[Varth]

I guess for added lulz, some real images could have been mixed into the footage.

 

[UrbanRats]

Someone on 4chan made a joke, someone on Gaf took it seriously.
We are getting Kotaku'd.

 

[monome]

Oh god the music....seems to be the most epic head in the history of heads.
Looks great but the face isn't animated and the eyes are closed.
That's where it would be extremely difficult to trick the human eye.

Never ever is Mogren CG.
It's a nice idea but he's to human...more than any CGI used in movies.
How should that be possible?

Come on... Kojima must do MG stuff, so I suppose this a recreation for him, being allowed to do shenanigans, especially with Konami using Fox across its studios, I can see them paying for a highly detailed, highly animated head.

Nobody is saying this what 720/PS4 characters will look like in the short term.
Just that Fox is Hollywood grade.

 

[Salsa]

oh my god some of you guys are for real

this thread is amazing

 

[Mikey Jr.]

If that was cg, then i officially have no idea what is real anymore.

 

[Dantis]

This topic is hilarious. CG people? Come on now.

 

[Dawg]

I bet Kojima told someone to say that on 4chan.

Master troll Kojima.

 

[Goon Boon]

His eyes are less dead than Geoff, so I vote CGI.

 

[FINALBOSS]

I honestly think it's kinda cornballish that Geoff is in on this ruse--all for which is hyping up a game--shameless promotion.

I get the whole thing is kinda neat--but he might as well be a hired PR guy for this whole thing.

 

[MormaPope]

Oh please. Post in other threads then, sorry for making NeoGaf a less honorable place or whatever.

 

[red731]

That reaction at the end regarding Fox Engine hmmm... #tinfoil

I don't think it's true at all, but saying it costs a million dollars to do it is pretty silly. It's an engine they already have, graphics they're already using. They stick to a script and give Geoff the questions to ask. It would be pretty easy for them to do it probably.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

"the shading on his cheek looks suspicious"

...how? The reason the guy has his hilarious reaction to the Fox Engine comment is because we'd had no confirmation (even though it was obvious) prior.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

I don't know what to believe any more.

Geoff is perfect for that crap though. Wouldn't feel good to see another one fall to his level, and he's already there so.

For playing up to a fun promotion?

You're right, it completely compromises his journalistic integrity.


Good lord.

"the shading on his cheek looks suspicious"

...how?

CAN'T YOU SEE THE PIXELS, MAN?

 

[DrBo42]

It took me a good 5 minutes to find it but damn if it's not back. Who's got tickets?

 

[Agnostic]

This thread is already great. /subscribed

well he seems to be the go-to PR guy in the industry lately, the fact that geoff does the interview is the only part of this that makes me even consider it being CGI

 

[Lowlander2]

The plot thickens. Didn't know he even had a plot.

Spoiler

NO

 

[bud23]

Joakim Mogren is CG, Keighley was CG, all of us are CG. We´re living in the matrix.

Spoiler

C´mon man ,we have not reached that point yet. lol

 

[Mr. RHC]

I bet Kojima told someone to say that on 4chan.

Master troll Kojima.

He wrote it himself.



...


From Cliff to CG, whatever it turns out to be, Joakim delivered, lol.

[monome]

everything around the game is fake.

 

[benny_a]

Anything is possible with 8 GB GDDR5

 

[DrBo42]

Anything is possible with 8 GB GDDR5

God damn it. Hahaha.

 

[Salsa]

Kojima is actually Hatsune Miku

 

[Riposte]

Can we even prove Geoff Keighley isn't CG?

 

[Anteater]

everything around the game is fake.

This is actually the movie they've been working on

 

[BosSin]

I think I'm done with my ride in this carnival.
I've come to the conclusion that most of the oddities are a result from the compression in that gif where the shadow disappears and that people are actively looking for reasons that it should be CG

 

[Palette Swap]

I really want this to be true.

 

[Megalosaro]

Just watched the interview. The ending was pretty funny.

 

[rvy]

Can we even prove Geoff Keighley isn't CG?

Nope.

 

[Cyborg]

Anything is possible with 8 GB GDDR5

Haha oh snap....8 GB GDDR5 strikes back!

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

We should have gone along with the theory just to see if it ended up on gaming sites.

 

[Forkball]

Not a chance, but this sounds exactly like something Kojima would want to do. The whole Phantom Pain thing is wildly eccentric and fascinating.

 

[Kariodude]

So you think rendering a few minutes of video would cost millions of dollars?
