Searched but found nothing. Steal the last pizza slice from me if old.

Geoff Keighley ‏@geoffkeighley

This should be interesting: Heading off to interview Moby Dick Studio Head CEO Joakim Mogren.

Source

Background: Moby Dick Studios is the Swedish studio that is working on The Phantom Pain. Most believe that Moby Dick Studios doesn't exist. The Phantom Pain is likely Metal Gear Solid V. Joakim is an anagram for Kojima.

Update:

"Mogren" will be showing us something new on GTTV Thursday night.

Sauce is twitter again

Update 2:

If anyone missed this all that time ago, here's their website: http://www.mobydickstudio.se/en/.

Update 3:

- the meeting of two legendary game developers: Hideo Kojima and Joakim Mogren.

@geoffkeighley 7:16 PM
Update on that Phantom Pain interview: Joakim Mogren was a man I'm pretty sure I've not met before. He did show some new images on his iPad.

@geoffkeighley 7:18 PM
@KratosKilla The guy was definitely not Kojima. He legitimately seemed Sweedish. And I'm skeptical if he is actually a game developer.

Update 4:

Interview here: http://www.gametrailers.com/full-episodes/n6iadz/gt-tv-real-march-madness.

The most weird interview I've ever seen. Just watch it if you haven't. That's also a poor attempt at making a Swedish accent. Might be Norwegian but it mostly sounds like someone foreign trying to sound Swedish.

 

[CriterionDog]

Cannot wait to hear about MGS 5

 

[Ghazi]

So a pope is going to interview an imaginary person. This gonna be good.gif

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Can't wait to see more Kojima!

 

[Jarmel]

I would love it if Mogren turned out to be a real person other than Kojima.

[StuBurns]

I really hope it's just that Sony advert guy.

 

[spats]

It's just Kojima with a fake moustache and a pair of sunglasses. It's the only outcome.

 

[maquiladora]

Black smoke.

 

[dc89]

Cool! Imagine Geoff shows up and we all expect Kojima... But it's actually EviLore. What a twist.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Hyped

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I hope he asks Konami about the Contra tease from E3 a few years ago.

 

[kurahador]

Hope we get to see a blonde Kojima's twin.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Kojima hides in a box and does the interview.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Hope we get to see a blonde Kojima's twin.

Let's hope not.

 

[Riposte]

Is he going to interview Kojima's right arm or something?

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Looking forward to seeing Kojima in a blonde wig and mustache.

 

[Dali]

I would love it if Mogren turned out to be a real person other than Kojima.

I'd have this reaction:

[paully]

but will there be a bag of doritos in the interview?

 

[RoKKeR]

I somehow doubt this will be a MGS5 talk, so what they have for him in the meantime...should be interesting indeed.

 

[spats]

Cool! Imagine Geoff shows up and we all expect Kojima... But it's actually EviLore. What a twist.

Joakim Mogren is actually an AI infused with Yu Suzuki's perfectionism, Kojima's unique way of thinking, Tim Schafer's humour and Ken Kutaragi's hubris. The perfect being.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

I would love it if Mogren turned out to be a real person other than Kojima.

Mogren will be Kojima's lost twin who was raised in Sweden and whines about inferior genes. He will be shirtless throughout the entire interview.

 

[Dance Inferno]

but will there be a bag of doritos in the interview?

The interview will be shot on location inside a Doritos factory.

 

[Shiggy]

Probably someone like that haha

 

[DocSeuss]

I want it to be some guys nobody's ever heard of that actually exist and they were just "heavily influenced" by Kojima's work, and the game they make is an utterly forgettable 6/10 title.

Just because nobody would expect that.

 

[Ghazi]

Nacho Cheese smoke.

...

 

[DieH@rd]

Biggest interview of the entire gaming history. I hope they are recording it with 4K 48fps 3D cameras and 7.1 uncompressed sound. GIMMEEEE

 

[Midas]

This will be interesting.

There are two people named Joakim Mogren in Sweden... http://www.ratsit.se/BC/SearchSimple.aspx?Who=Joakim+Mogren

 

[Stark]

Didn't know the MDStudio thing was still going. Kinda neat.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Mogren: "We're flabbergasted. All we're trying to do is make a new survival horror IP and people keep linking us with this Metal Gear business. It's so frustrating trying to define ourselves as a new studio."

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Whatever happened to an official response to doritogate?

Or is 4 months still not enough for him to get his thoughts together?

 

[supahkiwi]

 

[enzo_gt]

Can't wait to see Kojima burst out of a Viking costume.

 

[fallengorn]

Mogren will be Kojima's lost twin who was raised in Sweden and whines about inferior genes. He will be shirtless throughout the entire interview.

Does that make Obama the third son?

 

[injurai]

I'm still not convinced this studio really exists...

 

[jett]

I can't believe they're still bothering to play this shit up.

 

[FHIZ]

I don't even give a crap about Phantom Metal Pain 5, but if Kojima comes out in a blonde wig with a Hulk Hogan stache, he wins everything. "Kojima is Legend."

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Added to OP.

 

[backlot]

I don't even give a crap about Phantom Metal Pain 5, but if Kojima comes out in a blonde wig with a Hulk Hogan stache, he wins everything. Legendary.

I really hope this happens so bad.

 

[KillerTravis]

I don't care about some boring indie dev and their psychedelic game.

 

[Amagon]

That guy looks like Kojima.

I don't care about some boring indie dev and their psychedelic game.

So why are you posting in this thread then?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Shits about to go down.
I hope it's absolutely ridiculous.
Would love for kojima to play it straight in wig and makeup for the interview

 

[TalesOfWin]

This will be interesting.

There are two people named Joakim Mogren in Sweden... http://www.ratsit.se/BC/SearchSimple.aspx?Who=Joakim+Mogren

Isn't that what they do all the time?

 

[Sephzilla]

I already think everything Kojima does is solid gold. But if he would do that, he'd ascend to Elder God status.

 

[Eusis]

Kojima hides in a box and does the interview.

Fuck, I was beaten.

 

[Kerub]

Isn't that what they do all the time?

Shieeet.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I can't believe they're still bothering to play this shit up.

Shit I applaud them. It really only affects the hardcore gamer and most will get a kick out of sonething like this. Nice to see a dev have a bit of fun even if everyone already knows.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Looks legit, there is a photo of him from years ago, too.
