Gyakuten Saiban trailer had me chuckling until the actual factual Sherlock Hound showed up at the end and my heart raced in confusion over whether or not this is something they might actually follow through with.

Then once the murmurs subsided, I guess it's just an extra joke that plays with my emotions to have an awesome Shu Takumi Sherlock Hound game.

Remember guys, don't get banned for something stupid! Here on GAF:
- It's OK to have ONE April fools thread like this one.
- Posting a new thread dedicated to one single April fools seems to be frowned upon
- Posting an April Fools and try to pass it as legitimate news will get you banned.

Disclaimer: I'm no mod, I'm just posting what I remember from previous years.

Safest bet, don't create threads lol

Can't wait for irem's April Fools joke, those have always been great!

Oh, right.

[ScrubSaibot]

April Fools hoaxes are stupid.

 

[stan423321]

Just realized the PSN Easter Sale is supposed to update today.

I wonder will there be any humor there. Hard to come up with something topping up GOG's "18'000 copies of Jack Keane 2" prank during the second Insomnia sale.

I saw a probably fake "leak" about that earlier, so I think it's more to do with the wiki editor falling for it than an April Fool.

Although there's a slim chance it was real of course.

 

[dab0ne]

That dying light one actually looks fun lol!

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

AKA the "no fun allowed" thread.

 

[Justified]

Has there ever been a "April Fools" game that was eventually made real?

I know the person in charge of the wikia (Kogath) and I'm pretty sure HE is the one making this joke... the original source of the rumor is himself on his facebook page

 

[distantmantra]

Saints Row IV. But it was never really meant to be a joke.

Still hoping for Pimps at Sea to one day become a real game.

 

[djcatskratch]

I'll never forget this one from 2008

We're not even on page 3 and you don't read anything on page 1.

Does League of Legends making URF a game mode for nearly a month count?

the game is playable like this after an update and you can also play as a potato

 

[Xpliskin]

Some of the jokes are of very bad taste.

 

[Busaiku]

Inu Gyakuten Saiban, I get it.

 

[lt519]

You can play Pac-Man on Google Maps. It's pretty fun.

 

[RedFyn]

Where's the 30 sec insert quarter to continue playing patch for bloodborne? Letting me down From.

 

[MrCunningham]

I guess no April fools with Konami putting Kojima's name back on the box?

 

[Jay Shadow]

You've been able to play as a potato since the Payday 2 update. Instead of typing /dallas for the Payday 2 character, you spell it backwards as /sallad.

 

[The_Intruder]

The main character looks the same to the one from Sherlock Hound Anime.

Not just the character, but the music on the website is a remix of the first seconds of the opening Sherlock Hound Anime.

EGM's Sheng ng became Gouken, right?

[BulletTheory]

Square Enix should announce the FF7 remake!

 

[Hrothgar]

The Battle for Middle-earth 3: The Battle of the Five Armies

This should be a real thing.
