This Year’s Craziest Video Game Conspiracy Theory, the Uncanny Valley, and, Oh Yeah, Metal Gear

The next generation is around the corner. And with it, video gamers will get wrinkles, hair follicles, and pores like they've never seen before. Before we know it, the Uncanny Valley will become the new normal.

But, as some are wondering online, is it already here? And did we just watch a digital game developer give an interview on television?

If the face of Joakim was made and animated with Fox Engine my mind will blow..

I wonder why they would do it if it was not CG? What would be the real purpose? If in fact it is not, it will only be a big negative on the engine. But if it is, then this would be something real special, a great promotion on the engine...

My bet would be it is CG.

So why does your comment get +3 agrees and I get 2 disagrees for saying the same thing :/

N0S3LFESTEEM4056d ago (Edited 4056d ago )

Kotaku would avoid linking to the video... now I have to google it myself to make my own assumption.

Edit: It's not CGI...

travelguy2k4056d ago (Edited 4056d ago )

Joakim is an ananagram for Kojoma (same letters different order) someone else foirgure out what Mogren is ... Morgen?

Typical Kojima

It has the same amount of letters as Konami which if you take all the letters that it shares with Mogren out leaves GRE and KAI... take G and K while counting them and that's 5 or 3 depending on if you want to count those letters with it. Take E and I and it's the same... 5 or 3. A through R equals 18 or 16... 3 divided by 18 = 6 and 16 divided by 3 = 5.3... now we'll do 18 divided by 5 = 3.6 which = 9 when added without the decimal and 16 divided by 5 = 3.2 which when added together without the decimal = 5

Lets get all our numbers together.
5 3 18 16 5.3 3.6 9 3.2
5-18=13
3-16=13
13
5.3=5-3=2
3.6=3-6=3
5.3-3.6=1.7
1.7=8+2=10-3=7
7
3.2=5+9=14
14+5=19
19
lets go back to the alphabet with those numbers...
13=M
7= G
19=S

Now the most prominent number being 5 it turns into this

MGS 5

LOL :3

Not CGI and a joke created at the GAF. It's now TEAMCGI vs TEAMREAL.

xBigxBossx4056d ago

I think it's CGI. It would be a very Kojima thing to do. And with the video being brought so close to GDC... Kojima is sitting alone somewhere in the dark with a trolling "!" Above his head laughing.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218321d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel21d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia20d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

just_looken79d ago

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit

Well it has to be better than the first game

F0XH0UND92282d ago

You mean the game that won a bunch of awards and has an 83 on opencritic?

EvertonFC82d ago

83 is good, not sure what you are getting at.
You must miss loads of great games.

Kojima definitely assembling the Metal Gear Solid avengers for Physint

Is this really anything to get excited about? MGS5 was an absolute cluster f...

DarXyde82d ago

Gee, I wonder if there were any contemporaneous issues internally while the game was being made?

Nah, couldn't be. Game was released exactly as intended.

Samonuske82d ago

And regardless of its issues, it still had arguably the best gameplay in the series.

mkis00782d ago

The gameplay was amazing, coming from one who didn't play any of them until 4

Yui_Suzumiya82d ago

MGS ended with 4 for me. I want Hideo Kojima to get the Snatcher IP from Konami so there can be a remastered release and a sequel.

mkis00782d ago

Well 4 is technically the last in sequence right?

Chocoburger82d ago

@mkis007

Unless if you want to count Revengeance, which I started a new playthrough of recently, and damn is it still fun.

CDbiggen82d ago (Edited 81d ago )

Yeah it was, he didn't want to keep making MGS and it showed. Even if he was given the time by konami to finish it, what was there was already so weak that it's hard to see what could've salvaged it. The gameplay was quality no doubt. I still cringe at the characters and story though and the jeep scene.
