Viral Advertising
The game was advertised at the Spike Video Game Awards with a fake name, "The Phantom Pain", that supposedly is the subtitle of Metal Gear Solid V. The game apparently deals with an amputated middle-aged man who awakens from a coma, and attempts to escape a hospital infested with visions of supernatural horrors and an invasion of an unknown group of soldiers.
Development
The game was officially unveiled on December 7th, 2012 at the Spike Video Game Awards.[1] A reveal trailer was shown at the beginning of the show, which the announcer claimed was entirely real-time. It is being developed by the fledgling development team, Moby Dick Studio, situated in Sweden and directed by Joakim Mogren. It was confirmed via the director, Mogren's twitter, that the game would not actually use Konami's Fox Engine but in fact use their proprietary Whale Engine.
Reactions
After the teaser trailer aired, numerous video game-related websites and fansites reported the trailer's seemed connection to the Metal Gear series of video games.[2] Although the trailer presented the game as being developed by Moby Dick Studio, there were a few hints that The Phantom Pain may have some connection to Kojima Productions and the Metal Gear series due to the protagonist's resemblance to Big Boss, as well as the head of Moby Dick Studio, Joakim Mogren's first name was an anagram of "Kojima".[1] In addition, it was also discovered from the whois search engine that the studio didn't even exist until roughly two weeks prior to the trailer's official release. It was discovered that the title "Metal Gear Solid V" fits perfectly in the indents and negative space above the game's logo if using the exact same font[3] and it was noted that the in-game graphics portrayed in the trailer bore close resemblance to those of the Fox Engine.[4]
