Just announce the damn game

 

[Rapstah]

Can people with crazy CSI tools reveal his true face? Photoshop Smart Fill, anyone?

 

[Amir0x]

Train will leave the station at 1am. Make up your mind!

I'm already on it... just don't know if I should get off at the next stop. This shit is too weird hahaha

gotta say, though, it is attention grabbing, which has to be good for the game

 

[neptunes]

Just announce the damn game

Why do something like that when they do this for another couple of months? or something.

 

[Moosichu]

Crazy. Just godamn crazy.

 

[Elixist]

Thanks, I grabbed it. I'm a huge Mogren fan.

arent we all a fan? a legendary enigma such as him!?

 

[Kagari]

I like Kojima... but god this is dumb.

 

[Durante]

I think this whole marketing campaign is extremely amusing. Seriously, it's much preferable to "here's a countdown, here's a trailer, here's our social networking campaign".

It would only be stupid/dumb if you were supposed to take it seriously. Which I do not believe to be the case.

 

[legacyzero]

Bahahah. Kojima is fucking legendary. There is no better troll.

 

[maniac-kun]

Love the whole situation. Its the best announcement of any game ever.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Bahahaha <3 you Kojima.

 

[Maxwood]

I love you Kojima, you crazy basterd.

 

[DarkChronic]

I love this so much. Kinda surprised some people aren't finding this fun.

 

[immortal-joe]

Dude is off his meds, and it's glorious

 

[MDSLKTR]

kojima is god indeed

 

[consoul]

Well, it's good to know Mogren's health isn't slowly depleting anyway.

 

[Prophet Steve]

I like Kojima... but god this is dumb.

Well, the series is pretty "dumb" too, so the marketing fits.

 

[BosSin]

In this game you play as Otacon, who went back in time through injecting himself with Nanomachines that have been fused with McDonald's Big Mac sauce

 

[AlphaStriker]

haha I wonder what the hell Keighley was thinking during the interview.

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

This is amazing.

Exactly, how people can hate this? Sometimes I wonder why gamers take everything so seriously. This is way better than your standard copy/paste PR talks and it's perfectly in line with Kojima's sense of humor.

 

[t00t]

Just lol.

 

[Dorito Pope]

OK, we've crossed the line into stupidity. Another setback to the "take the gaming industry seriously" crowd.

You mean to say people don't take the gaming industry seriously already?

 

[zkylon]

Kojima is god Kojima is god

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Marketing... Has changed

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

LOL This is so stupid and awesome. I'll definitely take goofy marketing like this rather than your typical teaser trailers and countdowns.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Fucking Kojima. Where does he come up with this shit?

 

[chubigans]

OK, we've crossed the line into stupidity. Another setback to the "take the gaming industry seriously" crowd.

This is kind of lame.

Why can't they show the game normally? or reveal it when it's done or close to done?

This is just stroking his ego

GDC better be the end of this nonsense, or at least E3. Do not drag the joke out when we all know the punchline already. Pantomime doesn't try to run the "he's behind you" gag for a full day long marathon for instance because its annoying.

I deem these terrible posts and suggest you all take a break from gaming.

Seriously nice to get a weirdo marketing campaign that isn't PREORDER YOUR SEASON PASS TODAY bullshit we have to put up with.

 

[EatChildren]

The thing is that this isn't some crafty viral or long winded mysterious tease for an unannounced game. Ground Zeroes was announced months ago. We know a new Metal Gear is well and truly on the way. This is no secret or year.

All this Phantom Pain stuff is just a fun bit of silly padding to an already known quality. There's not much value in outright ending the joke to confirm what everybody already knows. You're supposed to know. It's supposed to be stupid.

So take a chill pill and enjoy the ride.

 

[Sinatar]

At this point if it does end up being an elaborate ruse for MGS V it's going to be a massive dissappointment given that people figured it out about 10 seconds into the VGA trailer.

 

[the chris]

I thought this was Joakim Morgen:

 

[Durante]

Marketing... Has changed

ID-tagged developers are wrapped in ID-tagged bandages, use ID-tagged tablets.
Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their actions.

 

[SMD]

Interview is in an hour, right? How do we watch it?

 

[DieH@rd]

I like Kojima... but god this is dumb.

At least he always deliver what he promises... which cant be said for everyone.

*cough*cough*versus*cough*

Interview is in an hour, right? How do we watch it?

1AM EST, 6 hours from now.

That's fine (on Kojima's end), but it doesn't let "journalists" like Keighley off the hook.

 

[timetokill]

I'm really hoping that they have this really elaborate MGS5 reveal planned for this, with Kojima standing up there thinking everyone is going to be stunned at this revelation, followed by a panning shot of the audience yawning. "Yeah, we knew."

 

[Zeal]

OK, shit is officially stupid now.

 

[Raynes]

haha I wonder what the hell Keighley was thinking during the interview.

Where's the doritos?

 

[DieH@rd]

OK, shit is officially stupid now.

1 trailer, and one upcoming interview. That's all. Everything else was crafted by the fans.

Magnificent I say. Minimal effort by them, maximum exposure.

 

[chubigans]

That's fine (on Kojima's end), but it doesn't let "journalists" like Keighley off the hook.

What in the world are you talking about?

This is for a show that does nothing but promotes video games. This is a video game. I don't understand why some people think GTTV is freaking Nightline or something.

 

[synce]

Somehow I doubt we'll get even a lick of useful information about the game (which let's face it everyone knows is GZ/MGS5)

 

[EloquentM]

It would only be stupid/dumb if you were supposed to take it seriously. Which I do not believe to be the case.

Agreed. its damn good marketing.

 

[strafer]

This is what happens when you make a successful game.

 

[NinjaTehFish]

Where's the doritos?

I cant drink this mountain dew without doritos dammit

 

[BosSin]

Where's the doritos?

And then "boy those Doritos sure made me thirsty, if only I could wash it down with the cool, refreshing taste of Mountain Dew; Gamer Fuel. Refreshment for pros."

 

[rvy]

Kojima has gone too far.

Funnily Kojima did this with Peace Walker before it became commonplace. Anyone remember the teaser site where the image revealed more and more each day, clouds changing and what not. Edit: In fact yes people do http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=41639807&postcount=104

Maybe working with Suda on SDATCHER made him think he's got to step up his game.

 

[Meatvillain]

My pro photoshop skills reveal that Joakim Mogren is actually Vegeta.

 

[SMD]

1AM EST, 6 hours from now.

Fuck's sake, I heard it was 11pm GMT. Is it just uploaded on the Game Trailers site or is there a stream or...?

 

[Himself]

Fuck yeah Kojima.
