Best April Fools Joke

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.

these are pretty great.

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/

Enter the Konami code and shoot all the things.

None, as all April fools jokes suck ass equally.

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.

Where do you find these?

@aishan: Ahhaahahahah holy fuck the last one was just lyrics to a song.

7 and a half hours, please say they have had a break.

I'd pay a good amount of real ass money for a real rocket launcher DLC in Journey.

youtube wins, holy shit, that's commitment. The straight faces just kill me.

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.

boards.4chan.org/s4s is pretty good

but yeah youtube's is pretty great

Are we certain the youtube live stream is actually live live and not just a video feed with live twitter messages over the top? Because if not then DAMN I hope those two are getting paid a lot of cash.

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.

WOW, I saw the video about the Youtube awards but I didn't know they were actually live-streaming for real" That's impressive.

I hope those guys are being paid well.

I died a little inside when I learned Human Defiance wasn't actually a new Deus Ex game.

Even though I knew better.

I hope Blood Dragon is a real thing.

Oh man the YouTube thing wins... HANDS. DOWN. My god the stream is so fucking amazing that they read all of this nonsense with an absolute straight faces.

@kcp12: Blood Dragon isn't real? I hate April Fools.

Google wins in the category of internet April fools jokes. They go all out.

I liked the Bacon Mouth Wash one.

I think the youtube one may be the best and my favorite, but these are amazing as well

Did Blizzard not do anything this year?

@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.

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?

Dead Space 3 DLC.

I think GameFAQs' poll yesterday would have been excellent if they hadn't had the extra poll option giving away the fact that it was a joke.

@starvinggamer said:

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.

Blood Dragon isn't an April Fools joke. There's an achievement list to prove it.

My favorite April fools joke was Nickelodeon's "Never before seen" episode of Rocko's Modern Life. It turned out to be a jar of mayo with repeating elevator music for 30 minutes.
