This has Metal Gear written all over it. A new game company, Moby Dick Studio, turns up out of the blue, and a few members of team Konami had shirts sporting this on them at the Spike VGAs. Not to mention the lead man's name is "Joakim Mogren" which contains an anagram of Kojima, and his next project "Ogre" in it. I would guess this game is definitely a new Metal Gear on that alone. Possibly even what the FOX game engine was designed for.
After that fact, pretty much everything else about the trailer is steeped in Metal Gear-ness under the guise of Viral marketing.
Confused Snake... ??? |
With the assault on the hospital we see many being dragged away or killed. Are these people here for killing the protagonist, or here on a rescue mission?
There are many dream-like occurrences. Feathers falling, a man on fire, a unicorn, and a giant flying whale, and a floating human. Many of the military types have gas masks so could this all be hallucination? This whole advertisement is one giant dream sequence.
Then at the end there is a hovering person above beyond the gunman. He looks awfully similar to Psycho Mantis. Or the Sorrow, depending on the time period. It looks like a lot of the stuff is a bit aged. The lady speaking at the end has a Russian accent, so... could this be a game during the formation of Foxhound? It would be unbelievably awesome if it were a complete remake of Metal Gear Solid, but it would be highly doubtful. Personally I would like a game playing as The Joy. A female lead protagonist in an awesome period piece era.
Is this Psycho Mantis? |
Regardless of what the final name of this title ends up as, I will be purchasing it.
