creative with her pranks welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 April
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at some of the best in April
Fools pranks involving video games even
if some of these left us more frustrated
than anything else yeah baby they’re
pretty easy to operate
just hold why to charge that laser
number 10 PlayStation Flo so near here
at the wearables division we’re working
on ways of bringing the PlayStation
experience to all areas of your life
have you ever entered a swimming section
of a game and thought to yourself hey
what if I could control my character by
actually swimming in a real pool no well
Sony decided to riff on this insane idea
and went about making a pretty intricate
fake promo video for the PlayStation
Flow complete with a relatively
believably designed pair of goggles and
body sensors that sync up with your ps4
so that you can control your character
from the comfort of a pool it’s
ridiculous it’s very self-aware and
really well put together considering how
[Applause]
number nine fats – is coming back fill
fish Fez was universally praised for its
unique mechanics at oral arts style and
addictive gameplay so when a prequel was
announced we were quick to board the
hype train but everything changed after
the game’s notorious creator Phil fish
had a nasty feud with a critic which was
the catalyst for his abandonment of the
project we still await the day that fish
comes back to the gaming industry to
finish Fez – and we almost thought that
day had come on April 1st 2014
fish tweeted that bez 2 was back in
development but it didn’t take long for
most people to realize that this was a
joke you know some of us are still
waiting for an actual sequels so not
number eight tactics Alexander
square-enix
[Music]
it’s been a very long time since we last
saw a Final Fantasy Tactics game
grimoire of the rift came out way back
in 2008 so a new game is very overdue
well our wishes were about to come true
when Square Enix announced tactics
Alexander the music was kick-ass and the
graphics were an interesting mix between
fantasy and steampunk of course our
hopes were dashed when this all turned
out to be a big old fake
come on Square it’s been over a decade
since the last tactics game you couldn’t
have gone with a different gang one that
didn’t hurt our feelings anyway just
take a look at the forums and you’ll see
that some fans did not take this prank
number seven Sonic in smash brothers
melee electronic gaming monthly
[Music]
with every Smash Brothers game fans
aren’t desperate to know which
characters are gonna make the roster
imagine our surprise back in 2002 when
we got word that Sonic the Hedgehog
along with tails were secret characters
in melee the mascot of Nintendo’s old
rival in a Smash Brothers game
impossible after spending a few hours
trying to beat 20 enemies in cruel melee
players quickly learned that electronic
gaming monthly was drawing them the
entire time I mean at least this did
become a reality
number six roach was too good CD Projekt
RED a year before we were due to release
our in-house horse testers started
complaining the witcher 3 wild hunt was
basically a perfect game from its
wide-open landscapes dozens of
interesting quests and compelling
narrative many people still haven’t
stopped playing it although if we had to
pick nits Gerald’s horse Roach does tend
to bug out on occasion
CD Projekt RED decided to play along
with this issue and produced a whole
video on the makin approach that’s
hilarious to think that the devs would
intentionally make Roach buggy the
absurdity really cranked up to 11 when
they announced a real horse was going to
be voicing Roach for the blood and wine
expansion complete with an interactive
dialogue tree seriously though this is
kind of a good idea though maybe in
number five Ark survival devolve studio
[Music]
if you’re an avid fan of dinosaurs Dodos
and being killed by other players who
are way stronger than you chances are
you’ve been playing Ark survival evolved
hey yep survival game where you explore
an unknown world filled with prehistoric
creatures it’s not a game for everyone
definitely but there’s a healthy
following Wow many players are still
trying to get their own dinosaur to ride
on though Studio wildcard decided to
pull the old switcheroo a batch was
released where players could become a
dinosaur and then ride humans the
visuals alone were hilarious sendeth to
be a wild card were to include this
thing as part of the game I don’t think
number four Tara Tron Blizzard
ever heard of the Voltron inspired mecha
unit known as the Terra Tron basically
the Terrans get themselves a Megazord
built entirely out of their own base as
expected this little trailer turned out
to be a fake announcement
with a small asterisk next to it while
you might not be able to use the Terra
tron you can fight it in the epic final
boss battle up lost Viking we must warn
you though the fight will be incredibly
difficult hope your friends got some mad
number three World of Warcraft playable
two headed over race Blizzard
Entertainment Blizzard just can’t help
trolling their own community the
playable 2-headed ogre was going to be a
complex race but it kind of sounded fun
you and a buddy would control one half
of your character which would be named
with a mishmash of your name and your
friend’s name on top of that both
players would share their own personal
chat box to share thoughts again this
kind of sounds fun but after thinking
about it for like three seconds players
quickly realized that this would be a
programming nightmare and a very
complicated play style but Blizzard
wasn’t completely fooling they
eventually added a 2-headed ogre to
heroes of the storm to Gul is a
terrifying force on the battlefield
someone who can start and end a fight
all on his own but only if both heads
work together two players two heads
sharing one body number two The Legend
of Zelda movie trailer I de n because
something special a no today I’m taking
the harvester Castle Combe market and
you’re coming with me there’s anything
we’ve learned about IGN it’s never trust
anything may announce on April 1st
seriously after seeing me Mass Effect
cartoon and the Bollywood Halo movie
trailers you think everyone were to
learn their lesson by now however
probably the most convincing trailer by
far was the alleged trailer for The
Legend of Zelda with pretty good visual
effects costuming and overall production
quality this looked pretty real although
it also looked really crappy so we’re
before we reveal our top gaming prank
here are a few honorable mentions in
control jabrai number one Pokemon
challenge Google we seek to hire the
most exceptional people remember that
big announcement from Google a few years
ago it was something along the lines of
go on Google Maps and you can hunt and
catch pokemon as you travel oh yeah
and to sweeten the deal the best trainer
would be hired at Google Maps as the
Pokemon master sounds like a dream job
right well it is a dream job because it
doesn’t exist as explained by the
disclaimer at the end of the video which
diminishes any chance of this being real
thanks to its silly tone
despite the Pokemon challenge being fake
Pokemon go became a real thing two years
later when Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata
realized that the gag had potential to
be a real game we all know what happened
from there
