Yeah, looks like probably a vintage U67, which was used for Bowie's vocals on the Ziggy Stardust album.

Could be a U87 (great for monologue game VO, not so great for diegetic context lines), unless there's some identifier I'm missing.

Edit: Oh shit, I just noticed the shotgun mic beneath it too. Best of both worlds.

GAME OVER YEAAAAAAHHHHH

Yeah, it's hard to tell since the 67 and 87 share the same capsule design. I figured it was a 67 because the 87 isn't used as often for sangin', but you're probably right about that setup probably being for VO work.

Hmm, approximately 11-12 hour flight, given the interval of his last tweet compared to the one before that.

Europe? If so, interesting that he left North America without even dropping by San Diego, Santa Monica and Naughty Dog.

 

[Auctopus]

90% sure that is Gatwick, London.

Certainly looks like British weather. HSBC is a London-based bank too, but since it's multinational that's not really an indicator.

He was at San Diego. The VASG team is located in the same building of Sony San Diego

Yep, but HSBC logos on the jetways, that's definitely a London Airport.

Didn't seem like he visited the MLB/SSD development team, per say, just the mo-cap/animation division (VASG) that is based in San Diego.

Yup, that's "The Ark" in Hammersmith. So that pic was likely from Heathrow.

 

[RetroDLC]

I'm guessing they're going to visit Sony Soho or Guerrilla Cambridge.

How about Evo?

edit: oh and MM

 

[get2sammyb]

They'll do Sony London, Quantic Dream, Guerrilla Games, I imagine. It's not a long trip for Evolution and Guerrilla Cambridge to bring some stuff down if they want to show it to Kojima.

 

[RetroDLC]

How about Evo?

Possibly, but Sony Soho and GC are doing VR games.

 

[Auctopus]

I highly doubt they'll go to Guerrilla Cambridge.

It'll be Sony Soho then to Guildford to see Media Molecule, maybe.

Quantic Dream is in France, so maybe after England. And Cambridge is considerably easier to get to than Cheshire.

Damn it, why can't I be in London doing dialogue post-production this week, I'm stuck at home in Lincolnshire doing freelance audio editing.

But GC has dinosaur mechs ;_;

Uh, I'm pretty sure that's GG HQ in The Netherlands. GG Cambridge is RIGs.

Wait, they have separate buildings?

 

[strafer]

What is this?

 

[RetroDLC]

Sony Cambridge changed to Guerrilla.

 

[Raist]

GG is based in Amsterdam, NL.
Guerilla Cambrdige is well, in Cambridge, UK.

 

[RetroDLC]

What is this?

A fucking eyesore, like most of London these days.

 

[Auctopus]

What is this?

The Ark. It's in Hammersmith.

Ah, I see. I probably missed this news

Yep, but HSBC logos on the jetways, that's definitely a London Airport.

HSBC logos are at basically every gate in the World. Japan, Taiwan, Australia; all airports I've been through in the last month and every gate has HSBC ads.

 

[Raist]

A fucking eyesore, like most of south London.

Since when is Hammersmith in South London?

HSBC logos are at basically every gate in the World. Japan, Taiwan, Australia; all airports I've been through in the last month and every gate has HSBC ads.

Ads yes. But not on the jetway itself. That's far less common.

Ah, you caught me before my edit. I got the airport confused with Gatwick.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Kojima seemed to enjoy VR at last years TGS, so I could see him going there as they have one of the premiere VR games right now.

 

[Llyrwenne]

Guerrilla Games is a Dutch studio located in Amsterdam. They did all the Killzone stuff and are now working on Horizon.

Guerrilla Cambridge was a completely seperate studio named SCE Cambridge Studio. They were restructured in 2013 to be a sister studio to Guerrilla Games with the release of Killzone Mercenary. They are now working on RIGS.

 

[King_Moc]

I wonder if anyone pointed out the venue next door, the Hammersmith Apollo, to him. He is a big David Bowie fan, and that place is huge in Bowie folklore as he 'killed' Ziggy stardust there.

 

[RetroDLC]

If they're heading for Cambridge they'll likely drop by Ninja Theory to see Hellblade too, given their mocap setup and partnership with Sony. Maybe even Frontier as well for Elite, which is just up the road from them (nice science park, I miss the place).

 

[Drama Zed Nod]

He is chilling at Harrods here in London now. From his Twitter:

 

[Chittagong]

I'm so happy for Kojima. By all accounts he seemed to have gone through some particularly shit times, so it's nice to see him enjoying life, only good things can result from it.

Are those surf boards in the background ?

No, they're skis for giant people.

 

[Auctopus]

Bumping in to Kojima on Carnaby Street would be nuts.

Brb.

 

[Kid Ska]

I think the real news is how good Kojima looks with that facial hair.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

 

[Raist]

Going out in Soho?
Kojima plz.

 

[Darksol]

Awesome! What a way to open MGSV

 

[Palculator]

Cool! Makes me appreciate its use in MGSV a bit more, actually. Makes it seem less like a "Well, we can't afford Bowie" replacement. Not that I disliked its use before, it was great.

I work in Piccadilly Circus... Should I just stalk SoHo all day? Ah, too much of a workaholic to do that, but nothing stops lunch breaks walkabouts .
