im not saying its not MGS. It probably is. However the dicking around is stupid. I remember other teasers kojima did had a konami or kojima logo attached to it. Wouldn't you want your fanbase to know you are revealing something to get them to tune in and talk about it? Also from sweden? Why would you try to throw people off? "We will shortly be disclosing information regarding our first major release."

The entire internet is talking abiut it now.

Seriously go to any major gaming site and theres a tons of discussion going on about "The Phantom Pain" its marketing genious

Agreed. It really is marketing genius. The fans are already hearing about this if they didn't tune in and would eventually hear about it if/when it's revealed as an MGS title, but at the same time everybody else who may not otherwise be a fan or interested in MGS are taking interest in it. How is it not a smart marketing move?

 

For a few different reasons. It really depends how long it takes for them to release information. However the general confusion about the title isnt really good and niether is the fact that this news will die in a couple of days. But lets wait for sales to determine if these were good marketing moves.
