Please someone explain the story behind this pic/guy...have seen it in other threads and still do not get it...
Guy who introduced that insanity to GAF, here.
Before MGS V was formally announced, it was shown as a "new IP" entitled "The Phantom Pain" by 'Moby Dick Studios' and their CEO 'Jokahim Mogren'. He's the bandaged wierd, who did some strange interviews with Keighley. Everybody was confused what the point of this whole stunt was, and I saw on /v/ a theory suggesting that 'Jokahim' was a tech demo for Fox engine on next gen. I posted it to the GAF thread about the interview, and people latched onto it. Commenced a few weeks of directing every frame, looking at light reflections on the eyes, and the tiniest detail in search of a 'tell'. Eventually Kojima formally announced the game, and the jig was up.
People are insane when it comes to Kojima. They truly believe he is capable of anything, including CG facial tech that outpaces just about anything else ever seen. Some people sincerely believed that he planted a fake story about a doctor doing head transplant surgery as viral marketing.
A CG head looks pretty viable to those people.
