Summary of April Fools games 2018 in the game world

April Fools’ Day has passed, and of course on this occasion there have been many ‘facts’ and sensational news which are unfortunate but they are not true. Path of Exile developer Grinding Gear Games yesterday decided to turn its action RPG title into a Battle Royale for one day (this is not fake news). Meanwhile, other brands are less serious with fake announcements and a few harmless jokes. This article will summarize what happened on April Fool’s Day in the gaming world.

Halo: Battle Royale

In a post detailing the announcement of 343 Industries on Reddit, they ‘announced’ the next Halo game – Halo: Battle Royale. Master Chief’s quest to find Cortana has trapped him and his team in the new Halo region, and USNC is training new Spartan IVs to help him. “To do that, a simulated war zone called Range, Ordance Yield, Assault and Local Engagement was set up.

This ‘fantasy’ title will send 100 Spartans to different locations in the Halo world, with the winner receiving a personalized costume to customize their character. New maps will be added every month, and the game will give you daily and weekly challenges. Best of all, the game will be free and we can continue to dream about this.

Game company Remedy Entertainment turns into a coffee company

Remedy, the studio behind the Alan Wake franchise, gave very little information about their next game, codenamed P7, and now we see why. They have officially stopped making games and instead turned to coffee production, former creative director Sam Lake (now creative coffee drinker) announced this change.

Project Venom v2 by Razer

You don’t need a good mouse or mechanical key to play better. What you need is nanotechnology to completely transform your body – that’s what Razer’s Project Venom will do for you. Take the medicine and the mini robots in your body will start working. They give you abilities like ‘Eagle Eye’ for superior vision on the battlefield or ‘Trigger Finger’ for increased mouse click speed.

Razer is currently looking for testers for this program, and you can sign up here. Note that do not take more than two doses in every two hours, or you will transform like the experiment in the video above.

Nvidia Gaming University

Nvidia’s Geforce Gaming Academy has opened its doors online, including courses in esport management, hardcore research, and a favorite part of all – Gameosophy. All you need to do is go to the following link, choose the course you like. Next week there will be a class on Lootbox, followed by a lecture on: “What is Fortnite?” Adapted to the challenge for older gamers.

It’s also quite realistic and positive, when there are universities that start teaching some esports. Maybe game philosophy will be available soon.

Review the game Cyberpunk 2077 on Reddit

We still don’t know the release date of Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt’s much-awaited RPG, but perhaps some people were surprised to see a review of the game appear on reddit’s games section on April Fools’ Day today. via.

Thank you user ninjyte for their efforts in that review: it was full of reviews from big names as well as ‘sarcasm’, with a perfect score. Christopher Deadstun in the review gave a scale of 100/100 Bathtub Geralts (worthy of 100 baths with The Witcher’s Geralts). From there, a new benchmark was created.

New hand-drawn Google keyboard

This is probably a creation in the not too distant future, when we no longer have to use keys to type text. That sort of thing. ‘Today’ you can draw characters with just one finger on the keys of the keyboard, it’s similar to ‘hand drawing’ on a touchscreen. As a result, appending extra characters on the keyboard is no longer necessary: ​​what you need are keys with no characters. This is a simple idea, but quite interesting.

Black Mesa adds loot boxes

Uplay admin console

If you have Uplay open to play Far Cry 5, you’ll probably notice the admin console option popping up – to help you pay attention, it will blink a bit. Click it and you will see that the console screen is ‘accidentally’ left open in Uplay. The console includes support commands, like ‘list-unreleased-games’ (list of unreleased games, if clicked on it will bring up a bunch of broken words) and ‘make it rain’ that allow you to add money into your account in the form of money falling like rain.

Payday: The Animated Series, Cartoon Payday

The Payday animated series promises family-friendly offenses. It’s not available in a lot of countries, and ‘especially not in Denmark.’ If this cartoon is real, we should see it once.

Giant hats in Rocket League

The car helmet in Rocket League suddenly became huge thanks to the “embiggened” mode that was accidentally turned on, and it lasted until April Fools’ Day. “It looks like a programming error occurred in the game. We’re doing our best to fix it, but the engineering team thinks let’s let this bug last until tomorrow, by then, it’ll go away on its own.” Psyonix announced.
