Support NeoGAF

[daveo42]

I think NeoGAF Believed a bit too much that day.

 

[Rymuth]

Kojima fired for real this time

I'm almost certain Konami finally found their excuse to fire Kojima without looking like the bad guys.

"See gamers? It wasn't because we were greedy, it was because Kojima got us sued. Yeah, that's totally it."

 

[DNAbro]

I just don't understand how a head transplant can actually happen and succeed. It just has to be a troll.

Or the doctor is batshit crazy.

 

[GuardianE]

Whoopsies.

 

[Kyoufu]

This makes it even more fucking hilarious.

Couldn't help but laugh at all this.

 

[chadskin]

Holy cow, what a story. LMAO.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Haha maybe next time gaf you should stop making mountains out of molehills over stupid crap.

 

[MrS]

Idk the interview part makes him seem like such a money-grubber or is it just me?

Surely he is due some sort of compensation if his likeness has been used without his permission?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

<----Big Boss Cat salutes detective-GAF yet again.

MGS GAF better send him a card

 

[Seth Balmore]

If this ends up having serious repercussions on MGSV's development or release, I guess it's a good but sad example for those "how much influence does GAF have on the industry" threads...

 

[DeadManWalking]

Gaf single handily will bankrupt konami.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Gaf just delayed MGSV and soon enough will kill Konami.

A den of cunts indeed.

 

[DrkSage]

quickly add this to at the end of the credits!
"any resemblance to actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental"

 

[-Horizon-]

The moment it said that his "project needs a lot of money" and already got a lawyer at the ready was the clincher.

 

[Loakum]

I think NeoGAF Believed a bit too much that day.

or not enough...

 

[Venom Fox]

I pointed out his resemblance to the actor from whom Konami actually did the scanning for the three-dimensional model, but he tells me that his lawyer has suggested something different that involves a conference held in Cyprus:

"One of the sponsors was coincidentally a game developer. Maybe some people there...I don't know...maybe they recorded the thing from certain angles, maybe the cameras were set up in the right spots... I do not know. It's just a hypothesis, but maybe it's not too far-fetched."

The Patriots are everywhere!!! lmao
This Doctor is on drugs.

 

[Gintoki]

At one point, suddenly asked me: “By the way, do you know how much this game is going to cost? And how many copies will it sell?” When I estimated that it’ll sell maybe 4 million units at 60 euros a pop, he started laughing.

“Wow!!! Sixty Euros? Multiplied by 4 or 5 MILLION? That would cover the whole operation for Valery and then some! We're talking about an insane amount of money!”

$$$$

 

[Houndi101]

Or you know the actor just happens to look like him?
Gonna lol when Kojima has to explain to him that the "you've been in coma for 9 years" is the only line the doctor character ends up having

 

[PensivePen]

This is horrible and yet I can't help but have the widest grin on my face possible right now.

honest question this got me nervous a little bit

it's a little far fetched

but what if konami cancels TPP now to get back at us for getting them sued

im kind of worried, no joke

They've sunk way too much money into this game to even consider that.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

"any resemblance to actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental"

they've been doing that since MGS2 iirc

this article puts things in retrospective, I should've never linked the post to the MGS community

[Dawg]

Thanks, Sn4ke.

 

[dallow_bg]

Amazing.

 

[Salsa]

cringe worthy you neeeeeeerdssssssss

 

[Kaiken]

What the fuck has this turned into? I don't even...

 

[Kusagari]

The doctor himself acts like a MGS character.

This whole thing is such an insane coincidence.

 

[Ferrio]

GAF causing the cancellation of MGSV would almost be worth it to see the outrage.

 

[Slowdive]

Surely he is due some sort of compensation if his likeness has been used without his permission?

They didn't though. Not Konami's fault the actor looks like him.

 

[Houndi101]

$$$$

His face when he heard this

 

[RoKKeR]

GAF causing the cancellation of MGSV would almost be worth it to see the outrage.

I think I'd be ok with it.

This story is just ridiculous.

 

[Thorgal]

reading that last thread made me feel like i had just swallowed the blue and the red pill at the same time.

 

[hammertomb]

Gaf didn't do shots. It was all sn4ke.

Ugh.

 

[NeonBlack]

Nice try Kojima, I can see right past that butchered head transplant you've done on yourself.

 

[Lum1n3s]

The game won't come out then and you won't b able to play it. Let's get ready to move on to something else now people, TTP is done for.

 

[Venom Fox]

They didn't use his likeness, the real actor they used is right there in the OP.

They look about 80% similar to each other lol.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Or the doctor is batshit crazy.

Looks sane enough to me

 

[MrS]

Or you know the actor just happens to look like him?

That Is simply not plausible. They are identical. There glasses are the same. The voices are similar. They're doctors.

I respectfully disagree. They are identical to me.

This quote. Can't believe how brazenly open he is about monetary repercussions.

The man will not sacrifice his magnum opus

 

[CriterionDog]

this is so weird

 

[Fried Food]

Oh man this just gets better and better.

The sad part is, this Doctor seems like exactly the kind of guy that should be working with Kojima on a metal gear game.

 

[Meaty]

Man, I dont get why he would sue konami, they are bringing good press to him, a lot of people are interested in what hes trying to achieve now, me included. (even if only for the crazy aspect of it)

 

[Loakum]

Nothing will come of this but more free publicity for Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain. "Doc" don't have half a leg to stand on with any suit from this. For what it's worth, it spawned the most entertaining thread in History! ^_^

Actor happens to look like crazy doctor. More on this story at 11.

Actually you're right. Tpp is done. Metal gear was never real.

Common man, they have spent way too much money on Fox Engine and the game itself. That is not happening.

 

[inky]

They didn't though. Not Konami's fault the actor looks like him.

Maybe they chose the actor because he looks like him... I mean, they could certainly make that case now.

 

[Saroyan]

The Carnival of Stupid continues lol
