The Joakim Mogren Interview

Renowned video game journalist Geoff Keighley conducted an interview last week on GTTV with the supposed developer of The Phantom Pain, Joakim Mogren.

The content of the interview was less than spectacular, with Mogren revealing nothing more than a few screen shots. However, what was interesting was the way Mogren was dressed, his faced covered in bandages, similar to the protagonist of The Phantom Pain.

Rumors have been circulating that the face is actually CG, made on the Fox engine, developed by Kojima Productions. These are strengthened when Keighley notices the Fox engine logo on one of the screenshots in the trailer.

Also, keen observers may notice that the name Joakim can easily be rearranged to spell Kojima. Oh Hideo Kojima, forever trolling the gaming industry. We will hear more about The Phantom Pain at GDC later this month.
