What do you guys think has been the best April Fools joke this year. I have to give it to the Dishonored guys for the documentary spoof.
Best April Fools Joke
I enjoyed this one the most. It stands out because it's so dumb.
Football Manager 1888 was pretty clever though.
@acidbrandon18: More games should have playable doors.
I just saw an article on PS3trophies.com saying the release date and price of PS4 just got released and it was $900 for a 500 GB console and my head exploded. Until I saw that it was a joke. I was shitting myself because it seemed believable. Thank Zeus it wasn't real. I'll provide a link to the article once the site fixes because apparently it's broken atm. Probably all that articles traffic.
And here's the link:
@beachthunder: Geist 2 needs to happen. lol
Cho'gath Eats The World is pretty great. http://www.chewgame.com/en/chew/
Also check out the website: http://fc3blooddragon.uk.ubi.com/index.php
Enter the Konami code and shoot all the things.
I really like the one from Arkane cause it's not so over-the-top like others and they kinda poke fun at their own game (and good ol' Peter)
Youtube saying they're done and will be picking the best video is a bit of a dud joke, but what really makes it shine is the live stream:
That time-stamp is not a joke, they have been reading out the title and description of random videos for over six and a half hours now. That's dedication to a joke.
I thought SWTOR Dance of the Hutt Cartel was pretty good.

@aishan: That wins out of sympathy for those poor actors talking for that long. I hope they are actually some crazy future 3D models and that's just a computer voice.
So far, nothing. Then again, as I mentioned in another thread, I'm not really amused by websites that do "durp durp new thing this year hah hah hah guise!" and prefer actual practical jokes. Those usually take a day or two before news of those get out into the rest of the world, though, so I'll look for tales of turning university parking lots into ice rinks and such until the middle of t he week.
I died a little inside when I learned Human Defiance wasn't actually a new Deus Ex game.
Even though I knew better.
@kcp12: Blood Dragon isn't real? I hate April Fools.
I think the youtube one may be the best and my favorite, but these are amazing as well
@daveyo520: The SC2 site did a thing about multiplayer balance. It was funny but only if you follow that stuff and the community surrounding it.
Hahahahaha, what is this?!
@themanwithnoplan: Is it wrong that I want Angry Birds Fast and Furious?
@aishan: Oh hey Fred Bear is number 2; that's a fucking great song; huzzah for random jokes highlighting the Nuge.

And here's the link:
You almost fell for "Star Wars: The Battlefront III"? There isn't even the word "the" in Star Wars: Battlefront games, let alone the fact that that game is dead!

No. At first, I was like "How'd these guys post these details before Gameinformer or Polygon?". When I saw Uncharted 4, I became skeptical and then Battlefront 3, I was like "Wuh?! Nooo. Where's this source?!" and the source was a link to that picture with the horse. Then I noticed how stupid it'd be for Sony to price the PS4 at 900 fucking dollars. They played with my feelings!
@awesomeusername: Ahh okay. If only someone would mention Battlefront 3 in something that wasn't an April Fools joke.

Don't make me cry man. :'(
I like the ones that actually happened somehow. Guild Wars 2 had a funny update too (link).
That Journey one is probably my favourite so far. Shame the Farcry 3 one is fake, even though Blood Dragon was supposedly classified by the Australian ratings board?

Actually they replaced all the worker models with the model of a unit they removed from the beta that everyone hated. It drove people NUTS. I found it pretty amusing.
