Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

[SMD]

Roll on 11pm.

[Judgement]

WTF?!

[Spacehost]

Isn't that the American guy who took over from Ryan Peyton at KojiPro? I wonder if they still do the KojiPro podcast, that was awesome.

[Spacehost]

I wish I had some Doritos.

[mr_woo]

I'm really disappointed that it's not Kojima sitting down with sunglasses and blond wig

[NecroMorrius]

Where are people watching it then? It probably won't go live on the website immediately.

[SMD]

No idea, is there no streaming on the site?

[Broker]

It's the episode on the homepage marked "Domo Arigato, Mr Miyamoto" but at the moment it's just showing a trailer when you load it.

[NecroMorrius]

I found a steam of Spike TV but it's showing Batman Begins at the moment? (Inbetween adverts)

[SMD]

I've no idea what's happening now. People on GAF saying it's in a few hours and it's pre-recorded so will be on the site.

The trailer for the show say it's on at 1am (Central), so that's 6am GMT.

Fuck's sake.

Considering Geoff Doritos is Tweeting that he met a guy who sounded Swedish it seems a bit unlikely to me CliffyB.

GAF speculates that its the Swedish born composer of Ground Zeroes who works at Konami.

Not that I think it's CliffyB but until your post, I hadn't even considered that Keighley wasn't in on the act.

Kojima trolling at its finest:

[Wools]

This is like a MGS4 plot line.

Trailer is shown of a bloke in a British hospital. It's then revealed that the new Developer is called Dick. Reveal Trailer is announced to be shown last night. Now proven to be a lie. Man on twitter reveals he's dying of prostate cancer. Man shows up in bandages could be Hideo Kojima. Or Swedish. Something about Doritos, Dominoes or Mr Miyamoto. The trailer is now no longer a lie, it's a pre record.

Now Cliffy B is revealed as the possible face of The Patriots.

I love Kojima.

Edit: damn it

[Spacehost]

This sure beats a countdown to a teaser for a trailer anyway.

[Chadruharazzeb]

This is so silly. It's brilliant.

[NecroMorrius]

Oh Kojima.

[SMD]

I would've been so fucked off if I stayed up till 4am waiting for that.

Epic trolling though, taking it to a new level here.

[robdood]

Haha amazing scenes.

[NecroMorrius]

The thing that's funny about it is the whole ruse is knowingly terrible. It's hilariously obvious that it's Kojima being silly, and they know that. It's like an affectionate joke that everyone is in on, and there's not enough silly fun in the games industry. I'd love more of this kind of joking about.

What is interesting is that they've promised to reveal all at GDC, where they've already confirmed a full unveiling of Ground Zeroes. Again, that's a whole lot of next-gen MGS if they're not the same game or two sides of the same coin.

[NecroMorrius]

So, /v/ posted a theory.

Joakim is 100% CGI in that trailer. This is an elaborate tech demo for the Fox Engine.

- 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.

If you look at his cheek during the interview, the shading seems suspicious. And the closer you look at it, I have a hard time believing he is actually there.

Pssh, riiiiiight.

[Chadruharazzeb]

What a load of bollocks.
