I swear to christ every time I look at Joakim's picture it looks like a horrifying photoshop job. If this doesn't turn out to be a Kojima ruse I am going to be more disappointed than anything. I don't even care if it is MGS5 at this point I just want to know what the hell is going on.

 

[Ricky_R]

That's how I'm beginning to feel at this point. Was funny at first, but they're getting close to "running gag abuse" territory.

Hopefully the interview is amusing enough to justify keeping this facade going.

Exactly.

 

[Hindle]

What's happened with this lately, Has the interview been held yet?

[JehutyRunner]

This man claims to be Joakim Mogren of Moby Dick Studios, developer of The Phantom Pain. http://instagr.am/p/W2VnqPIsHR/

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

OMG WHAT?! It's the guy who says "On your feet soldier, the whole place is coming down!" :lol :lol

 

[SolidSnakex]

That's...actually better than I was hoping for.

 

[TalesOfWin]

so when are these silly charades going to end?

 

[Sky Chief]

He was in the trailer too!

 

[Vyse The Legend]

so when are these silly charades going to end?

E3 probably.

 

[DieH@rd]

Kiefer Southerland is Joakim Mogren! Mind blown.

 

[Sky Chief]

The "METAL GEAR SOLID V" lettering over "THE PHANTOM PAIN" looks even more distinct on the T-shirt, I hope that Geoff asked him about that.

 

[Palette Swap]

This is awesome.

 

[thesuperfunk]

Has the interview aired yet?

 

[PaulExcellent]

Beautiful.
He's an inspiration to us all.

 

[Jest Chillin]

So Geoff is definitely in on it to an extent. If he's not completely in, he's at least playing party to it with this interview of a face wrapped man. I'm all for cryptic trailers and having fun with trolling the fanbase but Darkman doing interviews as the head of a dev company that sprung up out of nowhere seems excessive.

 

[Shtof]

Haha is the publicity returns worth going as far as hiring an actor? This is so weird.

Is this even a question? Of course. Actors do anything for nothing unless they're Pitt/Clooney famous.

Kinda like something Troy and Abed would do.

 

[DieH@rd]

Geoff mentioned that interview was weird and that he's not sure this man was a developer.

 

[Meatvillain]

Yes, let's do this, get crazier and crazier with it.

 

[darkside31337]

Has the interview aired yet?

It airs in about 8 hours

Good thing my avatar is Donald Glover and Danny Pudi! Also, I'm not really sure there's a legitimate comparison there but it's a good stab anyways. Kudos.

Well I try, good day to you sir.

 

[JLeack]

I find it amusing that some people are seeing this as a bit annoying. I just think it's hilarious and makes the game that more intriguing.

Does anyone recognize the guy ? Maybe he's a Gametrailers employee.

he could be anyone and it doesn't matter. What matters is the information he is going to share. Kojima is using his character to promote the game in an original way.

Haha, brilliant.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

out of all the disguises we imagined, the most obvious and simple one is the best

 

[RussellXV]

This is too funny. Can't wait to see his interview. Wonder if his voice is altered.

Classic Kojima and classic Metal Gear. I missed all this quirky shit in MGS4.

 

[maniac-kun]

My theory:

The Phantom Pain has something to do with Liquid Snake!

From the wiki:

He was almost an exact double of Solid Snake in terms of appearance, with the only distinguishable feature being his darker skin tone and fair hair color, due to the environmental conditions in which he spent part of his life. He also had a tattoo on his left arm, which resembled the Rod of Asclepius, but with a sword in its place and with the words "Temptation Revelation."

[Snake]

!

Kojima, you magnificent bastard.

 

[JehutyRunner]

A copy and paste from the CG thread. But anyways, look very closely at the laptop in the picture Kojima's just tweeted.

That sure looks like Keighey's picture from about 12 hours ago, doesn't it (at least the top half does anyways)?

Checkpot, I'm surprised he isn't having Popcorn though, xD.

he is looking at this site..

it looks exactly the same..

damn he is teasing us.. lol

 

[ArchedThunder]

His reaction when Geoff points out the fox engine logo is priceless.

 

[Supreme Stephan]

Cliff?

Sorry if old. I just found out :lol:

 

[Varth]

WUT?

Sneaking mission failed right there. Just about saw a Fission Mailed screen pop up when Joakim was caught.

 

[Oneself]

So, it's kinda safe to say we'll see a Metal Gear Solid 5 trailer running on PS4 at the GDC this year.

 

[Hanmik]

that guy in the interview.. could it be Eric Bossick..? he is an actor working with Kojima..

 

[joe1702]

Watch this!

 

[MMBosstones86]

Watch this!

so much trolloling. Geoff has to be in on it

 

[Spider from Mars]

Kojima is simply the best, better than all the rest.

My god, those concept arts are beautiful.

 

[Gustavovj]

Do you really think Cliff B is Mogren? It looks weird to me, now as for the FOX engine watermark... I think we have the new Metal Gear in front of us, hope it gets released on current gen consoles as well

I dont think he is. There are similarities but ther are also too many differences. Id bet that Mogren is just some actor or a random guy on the dev team willing to wrap his face in bandages and dodge questions for 30 seconds.
