So, if you haven't seen the trailer from the VGAs, here:video

Now, as the title says, there's a lot of speculation that the company(Moby Dick Games) that's making this doesn't actually exist and this is a ruse by Trolljima to tease MGS:V and/or his new project Project OGRE. There's been a whole lot of back and forth with pics claiming proof flying about(that I can't be bothered to collate atm), but one thing is certain is that this game already has a lot of hype going.

My 2 cents? A new company decided to blow a big wad of cash to get their product to premiere at the VGAs for big recognition(the fact that it did premiere at the VGAs is cited as a big proof it can't be a new company and HAS to be Konami, since the VGAs don't do trailers from new developers or some such)

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

It's also a pretty common Scandinavian name(where the company is based), so there is THAT as well.

Seriously, I'm thinking people are stretching on this trying to see things that aren't there
