HIDEO KOJIMA continues trolling us with INSANE ‘PHANTOM PAIN’ interview.

This is utter madness ratcheted up to the Nth degree. When The Phantom Pain’s trailer dropped last year, people were confused. What the fuck was this game? Who was this mysterious developer? No one really knew. After some scratching at the surface however, details began to emerge. Slowly, the mystery resolved itself. Resolved itself right into the maniacal face of Hideo Kojima. A recent interview with Joakim Mogren who is the alleged creator of the game only continues this insanity.

Joystiq:

The Phantom Pain is all but confirmed to use the Konami-built FOX engine. The news comes via screenshots of the game displaying the engine’s logo, as shown during what some would call an interview, and others… not so much.

GameTrailers’ Geoff Keighley sat down to talk about the abstruse game with its allegedcreator, Joakim Mogren of the alleged Moby Dick Studio. As you can see, Mogren was covered in bandages because of “an accident,” but he’ll apparently be healed in time for GDC (two weeks time) where he’ll unveil a revelatory Phantom Pain trailer.

Mogren revealed nothing else beyond that, except for some screenshots that oh so subtly displayed the big fat FOX engine logo in the corner. We’ll give the man credit: when theeagle-eyed Keighley pointed out the FOX logo, Mogren’s shock (cough splutter) was a thing of beauty (see after the break).

In completely unrelated news, Hideo Kojima is giving a talk at this year’s GDC, and it’ll feature a demonstration of the FOX engine.
