, posted Thu 27 Mar 23:04
The only April Fools joke I ever fell for was when, I think it was EGM, posted a trick to access Gouki in Resident Evil 2. I was so excited about that! What an idiot I was. Even my nephew, who is more gullible then me, said, "are you sure it's not a joke."
I never fell for the "Sheng Long" is in SF2 OR in SF3 tricks. Someone did an SF3 "Sheng Long" April Fools- and it was VERY GOOD! Does someone have a scan of that April Fools joke? The magazine gave the character 3 super arts, including very clear screen shots and character artwork that really resemembled the work Bengus did for SF3 (or who ever did the SF3 artwork). I still didn't fall for it but was amazed by the amount of effort they put into the trick. They went all out!
BTW, not long after that trick, Capcom put Akuma into SF3-DI. Although this time the magazine had stated that it was Akuma's brother, Gouken, who was the secret character in SF3. The magazine designed a pretty good Gouken too!
A good Joke for this year is too create 3D models of every fighter in SF1, SF2, SF3 and Darkstalkers game and claim that they'll be in CFAS. Then make edited screenshots with new 3D versions of the characters. It's certainly doable, but a lot of hardwork. Last year's MvC3 joke was pretty good.
Bored? "160"

In a way it's kind of fun to see "fake" screenshots and such, but in a way it sucks because you're so pissed at the fact that you're fooled (Marvel vs Capcom 3, anyone?)
So I just wanted to ask, since April Fools is a day when we see tons of fake news, what are you "expecting" to see. Or if you could make your own AF joke with any amount of info you wanted? Some simple ideas..
-Capcom announces CvS3 with 60 characters most of the returning cast from CvS2, but there's new modes including Strikers and Tag Team....
-Square and Enix, as newly merged SquareEnix announce Chrono Break which will be worked on by both DQ and FF developers with Akira Toriyama returning to do character designs...
-Dante a confirmed character in CFAS! (Shows fake picture where Ryu's "fighting" a pasted in Dante.)
Anyone else have any ideas?
The first and only April Fool's joke that I fell for as far as games go was the classic "nude Laura Croft" one that (I think) EGM did a long time ago. You know, the one where you run through the training mode and jump from a statue into the pool. I tried FOREVER to get it to work, but it never happened. Now, any time I'm reading a video game magazine and they say something that sounds a little too good to be true or weird, then I check the month of the magazine. If it's April, then I know what's going on.
