Just Stop! Hey Hideo Kojima, WE KNOW You’re Behind The Phantom Pain

Warp Zoned writes:

"It’s not the Internet-at-large that’s bugging me today, but instead it’s one man: Hideo Kojima. Actually, it’s two men, as Joakim Mogren, the CEO of Swedish game developer Moby Dick Studio, is most definitely not Hideo Kojima. But who is he, really? Some say it’s Cliff Bleszinski in disguise. Is the man formerly known as CliffyB really behind Moby Dick’s first game, The Phantom Pain? Or is it just some actor keeping the world in suspense until Kojima reveals his connection to the game at this year’s Game Developers Conference? Whoever’s behind The Phantom Pain, they think they’re being clever.

No! Just Stop! YOU. ARE. WRONG."

Hmm

Kojima is just trollin' by till GDC

Edit- Matgrow...if you didn't understand immediately what was going on...I feel sorry for you. It was obvious immediately, within 1 minute of the trailer..that is was an MGS game.

matgrowcott4052d ago (Edited 4052d ago )

That it was a Metal Gear game, yes. The thirty minutes after was filled with screen grabs, discussion, filling in the blanks and much more.

Then again, I presumed the people reading that post would understand that I didn't mean a literal 30 minutes. Point noted, from now on I'll let you know when I'm not being very, very specific.

Sorry, that was sarcasm. I'm not going to do that.

ShugaCane4052d ago

If you think he doesn't know that you know, then maybe he has trolled you even more than he intended to.

matgrowcott4052d ago

They ARE being clever.

Their job isn't to provide some crappy mystery for you to solve. If that was the case, Kojima would have held his hands up and admitted to the whole thing after the 30 minutes it took us all to work everything out last year.

Their job is to get people talking about it. Guess what Warpzoned: you're talking about it.

zerocrossing4052d ago (Edited 4052d ago )

^^ This exactly.

Kojima is just building hype till the big reveal and props to him for going about it in such a creative way.

MikeMyers4051d ago

This type of viral marketing is why the industry will never grow up. I'm not saying that's a bad thing.

MultiConsoleGamer4052d ago

This whole viral has been hilarious. Even I got sucked in. Brilliant self promotion.

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan169d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara169d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus169d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow169d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…

Cacabunga185d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19185d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19185d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq185d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger185d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder185d ago

Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.

YourMommySpoils185d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder185d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85185d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420185d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim185d ago

The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.

KyRo184d ago

The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.

MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
