April Fool show developers know what we want – they only care

summary

• April lies ranges from stupidity to annoying, but some ideas are already worth following.

• Developers often put creative energy in the joke ads that fans already want.

• Some of the masks of April lie have become real advantages due to the positive reception and work as an inspiration for the development of the game.

Today is April is a lie, and this means that you may have seen a set of April April Flections Advertisement that ranges from just stupid to very annoying. The same happens every year, unfortunately.

What is worse, is that the developers of the game or publishers sometimes announce something for April Fools, which is actually an excellent idea. It can be satisfied with an existing game, or announce a fake game for something that everyone wants to play already. For me, this is not funny. Instead, it is just a sign that we can get good things, but for some reason they will not give us.

April 1 is a terrible time to be a player

To be honest, I don’t think anyone really loves it when we immersed April lie causes every year, whether in games or not. It is difficult to tell the real news of fake diversity in 364 days of the year, so spreading wrong information intentionally means that I prefer to stay in a non -communication position until the second of April.

It is one thing for April ads a lie about funny things, but no one really wants it. It is something else when developers have detonated their creative energy to find something really great and have no intention to make it at all.

Many of the ideas of April fools are really great

Some ideas are very clumsy, it may only work. Take STEN PINBALL’s 2022 April Fool announcement From the ball and pins table on the basis of the comic play Fraser.

from won’t Want that? It is exactly this feeling of lost fun of many games these days, and we just see them on this day of the year.

Take TerratronWhich was a joke advertisement Starcraft II. Why not do that? Giving each faction for a Fula Folteron weapon that must be collected from sub -services is a great idea. It could have been his game mode, and in the case of the Terran faction in particular, it fits their culture and technology tree.

Sometimes, the April lie joke is not just a quickly recorded image in a tweet. Instead, we get the positions of Jokey game that you can already play, but only in April a lie, so even if you enjoy and face a new game that takes some time and effort already, you won’t continue.

After that, developers spend time and money making fake trailers for games that are likely to sell one million copies in the first week, such as this advertising section of the intersection between Crossing animals and Fantasy life. Are you kidding with me?

It explains what is happening when the designs are granted freedom

In a less willing to take chances because its budgets are very large, there is only an incentive to go out on one of the parties and do things aimed at fun. Instead, we get an endless offer of sequences in the same overall style of play, and the features of more income “.

Independent and double budget sectors are carried out The battle of Royal L – Halo is infinite It could have been a great success, as it absorbs that adult developers were very bothering to see him.

Sometimes, April lies are real features

Sometimes, the joke gets a reception that may surprise the developers, and therefore they must make it real. Perhaps the most popular example is PandAran.in 2002 advertisementWhich was described as the people of the panda for Warcraft III: the era of chaos. Very clumsy for Arab women? Ten years later the Bandran was officially presented The world of boxes in Banaria fog expansion.

And if it is not the April lie specifically, the level of the secret cow is in Diablo II It started as a deception, and this was a great fun addition to the game, the modern refrigerator storm does not have self -awareness.

April 2019 lying joke Yakuza Game with rotating -based fighting Some heads turned. Well, it turned out that this was not a joke at all, and Yakuza: Like a dragon It was a real game. Although it was not a joking reception Make the game realMaybe market research.

In 2014, we got a joke about finding Pokemon in Google Maps and arresting it. After two years we got Pokémon Go!

There was also The world of tanks The April Fool announces the moon map, where you can fight with your tanks in the low gravity of the moon’s surface. A cold and creative idea that has become a reality after two years.

Although it is more than just annoying when we get the April Fool’s Advertisement about things that will actually be great if they are real, it is good to know that sometimes. If we complain about it hard enough, some developers will make him a reality.
