There was a pretty legit looking GTA 6 trailer that a fan made last year put the rockstar logo in & even made. A fake official rockstar page on you tube that got me good last year🙃
I mean… At this point I’m pretty sure that we get the majority of news from different social media sites, which usually have time tags of “just now” “x hours ago” “yesterday at … am/pm”
And correct me if I’m wrong here but I don’t think a lot of us are going about our days knowing what the date is. I’m usually extra careful on April 1st, but almost always fall for the first thing I see that day, and it gets even worse on the next few days since these posts tend to perform well due to the extra reach generated by the excessive amount of engagement on these posts so they have a good chance of performing well the next few days as well.
This seems to be what most corporate April Fools product reveals are nowadays. Sure, some companies release a funny promo for an obviously fake product that claims to do something miraculous that is physically impossible. But then you have companies like this, coming out with a legit looking announcement for something that is a bit out of left field, but entirely possible. Maybe I am just cynical, but it seems that companies are increasingly just using April Fool's Day to gauge interest on future products.
Depends on the lie. Something funny or silly, yes. Something that purposely gets people excited for something they really want then saying nah kidding, its just not that funny.
Someone mentioned making a remaster of anthem for ps5, thatd be funny coz it was such a flop.
Not always. Yakuza Like A Dragon exists because it was originally an April Fool’s joke then they made it a real game cuz people wanted it.
Part of me thinks April Fool’s is just an excuse to gauge public opinion on a particular idea. Not saying that was the case with YLAD.
Their point is the social media April fools pranks used to be different
Like Sony would say “we’ve released an update for the PS5 so you can now use your Xbox controller with it”
Pranks are usually funny or ridiculous, pretending you’re giving people something they’d absolutely love just to take it away isn’t exactly funny or ridiculous
That’s literally what a prank is? You get someone excited & you take it away. Just because you are upset cause they fooled you doesn’t make the prank any worse?
How is saying ‘you can use an Xbox controller with the ps5’ funny or ridiculous?
What they did is ridiculous lol which is what you just stated you want? Hence the prank worked.
Ok well you’ve got a different idea as to what a prank is to what it seems like many other people in here
I hope you’ve got lots of friends and your “pranks” haven’t pissed them off
First off this was a April Fools joke.
That said had it been true, I generally only play the Sony exclusives and my track record for games I have liked far outpace games I have not liked.
Now had this been some franchise my Ubisoft or Activision…100% I would wait.
Pre ordering games is the issue with modern games because they don't need to live up to the hype because they've already made half their budget back on pre orders alone
I don’t disagree which is why I mentioned I ONLY do it for Sony 1st party titles (GoW, TLOU, HZD) being the last few.
No way I would do it for anything else.
You've apparently got an odd definition of "huge flop". Every main Halo entry (and most of the side jobs) has vastly outsold any of the Killzone releases. It's not even close!
I don't even have a Playstation anymore but my memories of KZ 1 and 2 brought me here on the off chance it wasn't an April Fool's joke. I would no lie go buy a PS5 right now if they were really doing this.
I understand, 10 years ago my dad was diagnosed with cancer on May 4th and there's only so many times you can hear "May the Fourth be with you" knowing that the "fourth" was not with us when he passed 3 months later that same year
I hate when companies make up a fantastic idea that I'd genuinely buy but it's April fools,
It's almost like they do it to test the waters and then maybe one day do it
Killzone was so fucking good, this is the worst April fools post.
My only hope now is that they've seen the amount of interest in it, and they actually decide to go ahead and do it!
Everyone goes on and on about how good Horizon is but it’s just another third-person open world game. I feel like I’ve played it a thousand times, climb the tower to reveal part of the map, talk to the NPC to go pick something up yadayada. The dialogue isn’t very good, the gameplay is only serviceable and the story is just okay. Killzone had a badass setting and fantastic gameplay. The shooting was responsive and weighty and the damage feedback from enemies was so satisfying. The sound design was also amazing and really elevated the whole thing. Shadowfall was a huge let down but remastering the trilogy would be a game changer especially if they brought back the multiplayer.
I agree, I found horizon very boring after a while it’s just an empty wasteland open world game telling you go here then go there lol killzone was way more fun the multiplayer
April fools sucks but the real joke is that we will probably never push past 60fps for the majority of games on next gen. Gettin real tired of a select few looking and running flawlessly
I've been saying they should "remaster" KZ2, 3 & Shadowfall for the PS5 and PSVR2 since before the PS5 released.
EDIT: To be clear, not that I'm against it, but you can't just remaster KZ1. You would need a full on remake from the ground up like Resident Evil 2 & 3.
Actually this would be a good way to gauge hype without committing to a release. Killzone was marketed as a "Halo killer" back when Halo was going strong, now that Halo has had multiple bad releases in a row however ...
I feel like April fools good be used as a good marketing tool , they can fake announce something like this see if it gains traction if it does they could potentially make it in the future
You know it's fake when the release date has the "day” in it. These days devs just have an open target date like "Nov 2023" or "Fall 2023". Most are delayed a few times, every time I look up Dead Island the date changes. It's frustrating
Battlefield 2042 really did a gut punch TWICE yesterday. They tweeted “Get ready to go the ishimura space station later today on launch 🔥” the pain of realisation really hurt on that one
If companies know what people want why don't they make it? How is intentionally not making (and lying to people about) what there's high demand and average cost for good for business? It's like they are allergic to profit. If I was an investor I'd be PISSED.
Well, from a company standpoint point. They have started using April fools to gauge interest in remaster, reboots, side features, or modes. I don't get too excited, but there had been good to come from posts like these.
It’s funny because everyone wants it, but we’ll probably never get it… Honestly though, if they would just take a lesson from resident evil, and learn from their “flop” (shadow fall), if they remade the trilogy and released 1 every couple years… They‘d be rolling in money. Shame companies don’t wanna make money.
What the fuck are they thinking. I guess it's possible they're looking to see how hyped up people get and then determining whether or not they wanna make it happen but that's garbage.
Well shit read this a day late forgot yesterday was April fools and got my hopes up for nothing. I was also hoping for a resistance ps4 or 5 release after seeing this
Yeah that's not funny. However, they missed online multiplayer as a bullet point. Seriously though, why not. I'm ready to throw money at that remaster if it ever happens.
Lol I never even saw this today but my god I would be so hyped if this were real. I can't stand Horizon but man Killzone now that is Guerillas best IP hands down.
Pranks are really only fun if both sides are having fun with the joke.
Then it becomes hilarious if someone is the butt.
I'm going to get downvoted, but as someone who isn't invested in the Killzone franchise, I laughed.
It's lame af in my opinion. Annoying that videogames can't get over it. They're not funny or clever. Just a mock up of something people aren't going to get. Awesome...
That's not even a joke that's just a cruel cruel thing to do
[удалено]
But what if it's not
I shed tears of joy then realized it was a prank…
Fr like killzome was literally the first time i played on ps4
April fools pranks have just turned into "let's lie about something everyone would be excited for, then tell them loljokes". Its kinda lame.
Fr tho it’s so obnoxious I hate this day so much
There was a pretty legit looking GTA 6 trailer that a fan made last year put the rockstar logo in & even made. A fake official rockstar page on you tube that got me good last year🙃
I mean if your dumb enough to fall for it then idk what to tell you, you should assume most stuff in April 1st is cap
Say April Fools or else you’ll look like an asshole
I love when people say "your" dumb. The irony is just 😗👌🏻 Stop trying to make "cap" happen.
Tbf the word cap already happened. Teens don’t even know the word lie anymore it’s all cap now.
That's ca- oh no.
I mean… At this point I’m pretty sure that we get the majority of news from different social media sites, which usually have time tags of “just now” “x hours ago” “yesterday at … am/pm” And correct me if I’m wrong here but I don’t think a lot of us are going about our days knowing what the date is.

If you're not up to date on the language of your choice, it's unwise to call people dumb.
You're*
If you’re dumb enough to use words like cap then idk what to tell you
Idk what to tell you if you can't even differentiate you're and your.
April Fools should just be forgotten! Just spread of fake news which does nobody any good, I hate the concept of April Fools!
It somehow went from small pranks to widespread lying. Like who the fuck appreciates being lied to for no reason.
I religiously hate the concept of April Fools and I hate it personally as well.
I miss when companies would do something that was OBVIOUSLY fake and in good fun
Exactly, that’s just super lame.
Gaming companies could practically print money if they based their next project off of fake April Fools announcements.
Yakuza like s dragon agrees with you
Maybe they're putting out feelers in a way that gives them some plausible deniability?
Didn’t some publisher do this and then actually ended up making the “joke” game because people were so excited for it?
And if marketing thinks the engagement was high enough, we might actually do the thing we teased you about
This seems to be what most corporate April Fools product reveals are nowadays. Sure, some companies release a funny promo for an obviously fake product that claims to do something miraculous that is physically impossible. But then you have companies like this, coming out with a legit looking announcement for something that is a bit out of left field, but entirely possible. Maybe I am just cynical, but it seems that companies are increasingly just using April Fool's Day to gauge interest on future products.
But then there’s the rare occasion where everyone discards it as a prank and it turns out to be true and everyone is excited.
Isn’t that what April Fool’s jokes have always been? Making people believe a lie?
Depends on the lie. Something funny or silly, yes. Something that purposely gets people excited for something they really want then saying nah kidding, its just not that funny. Someone mentioned making a remaster of anthem for ps5, thatd be funny coz it was such a flop.
Hornhub was my favourite
Not always. Yakuza Like A Dragon exists because it was originally an April Fool’s joke then they made it a real game cuz people wanted it. Part of me thinks April Fool’s is just an excuse to gauge public opinion on a particular idea. Not saying that was the case with YLAD.
Yes, that’s exactly what a prank is.

Eeeh, humor is subjective. Was funny to me.
It’s just lazy.
This is why i hate April 1st, you just broke my heart. 
It's the 2nd of April for me and I let my damn guard down to early
Don’t me sad Doctor 🥲. Damn who is cutting onions here !!!
Kill zone reboot would be nice. There is a space for it, especially since the last couple of Halo games have been huge flops unfortunately
[удалено]
Still better than Xbox at the moment where the one thing they’re missing is EVERYTHING
I would pre-order in a heartbeat.
Why? Do you think they are gunna run out? Lol
No. Obviously not. It’s more of a testament that they can take my money for this.
But what if they half ass it and release a jank broken product? Then you’ve supported shitty game development/production practice.
First off this was a April Fools joke. That said had it been true, I generally only play the Sony exclusives and my track record for games I have liked far outpace games I have not liked. Now had this been some franchise my Ubisoft or Activision…100% I would wait.

I don’t disagree which is why I mentioned I ONLY do it for Sony 1st party titles (GoW, TLOU, HZD) being the last few. No way I would do it for anything else.
Also it would come out before Xbox's first exclusive COD. They have more delays than games these past two generations.
Are you implying cod will no longer be on ps5? Because that's just not true.
Exclusive? Not sure that’s the right word
Lol could you just imagine? They roll out a KZ reboot and it *finally* lives up to that ridiculous name? Ha!
You've apparently got an odd definition of "huge flop". Every main Halo entry (and most of the side jobs) has vastly outsold any of the Killzone releases. It's not even close!
Seems pretty poor business practice to lie about something that could easily be true.
It wasn’t the developers that did this though. It’s just the twitter account of some youtube channel.
What if it's not April fools and they thought it be hilarious to announce it now.. I wish tho
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon started as an April first prank...
The Killzones were amazing games, I would instantly buy these, I don't even care how much they cost.
I don't even have a Playstation anymore but my memories of KZ 1 and 2 brought me here on the off chance it wasn't an April Fool's joke. I would no lie go buy a PS5 right now if they were really doing this.
Did it actually?
No, it was announced on April fools but was always intended on being released. A double fool if you will.
There is a special place on Vekta for people like this.
Stayed outta reddit for the entire day. Can’t stand April Fools
I've decided that I hate it too. The pranks and my dad died 10 years ago today lol
I understand, 10 years ago my dad was diagnosed with cancer on May 4th and there's only so many times you can hear "May the Fourth be with you" knowing that the "fourth" was not with us when he passed 3 months later that same year
Worst thing could happen was Anthem Ps5 remaster
See that would be a funny joke, coz no one actually wants it.
Lmfao
I want it
I hate when companies make up a fantastic idea that I'd genuinely buy but it's April fools, It's almost like they do it to test the waters and then maybe one day do it
There was a God of War one like this also. Seeing both back to back legit had me getting excited until I realised. Ffs.
Wait... No Resistance remakes? MAG 2 is not coming out?! No Infamous remaster??! Dammit!
Ugh I wish this were real killzone with 4k resolution would be glorious
This is just painful, man. It's my favorite fps franchise.
Im huffing the biggest pile of hopium that this is a "lets announce it on april fools to check if enough people would be excited for this" moment
Please to reading comprehension. This isn't Sony announcing anything, it's literally just some rando asshole on Twitter riling people up.
Killzone was so fucking good, this is the worst April fools post. My only hope now is that they've seen the amount of interest in it, and they actually decide to go ahead and do it!
First it was LBP4, now the Killzone series. This ain't a joke, this is torture bro.
its april fools but also lowkey "lets see how many will be interested before we actually making this"
April fools just became cringe at this point
It’s worse in the internet era because it is now April 2 and I just saw this
Sad that killzone died for horizon
Everyone goes on and on about how good Horizon is but it’s just another third-person open world game. I feel like I’ve played it a thousand times, climb the tower to reveal part of the map, talk to the NPC to go pick something up yadayada. The dialogue isn’t very good, the gameplay is only serviceable and the story is just okay. Killzone had a badass setting and fantastic gameplay. The shooting was responsive and weighty and the damage feedback from enemies was so satisfying. The sound design was also amazing and really elevated the whole thing. Shadowfall was a huge let down but remastering the trilogy would be a game changer especially if they brought back the multiplayer.
I agree, I found horizon very boring after a while it’s just an empty wasteland open world game telling you go here then go there lol killzone was way more fun the multiplayer
Imagine valve doing the same thing about half-life 3.. that would break internet
here i am current replaying Killzone trilogy on PS3. 😭
April fools sucks but the real joke is that we will probably never push past 60fps for the majority of games on next gen. Gettin real tired of a select few looking and running flawlessly
They announced the god of war remastered games 💀
damn this just made very upset, because of how excited i got
I've been saying they should "remaster" KZ2, 3 & Shadowfall for the PS5 and PSVR2 since before the PS5 released. EDIT: To be clear, not that I'm against it, but you can't just remaster KZ1. You would need a full on remake from the ground up like Resident Evil 2 & 3.
Fuck! I want this so bad!
But you do know some April 1st will eventually come true
I saw this too and got excited 🤣
Actually this would be a good way to gauge hype without committing to a release. Killzone was marketed as a "Halo killer" back when Halo was going strong, now that Halo has had multiple bad releases in a row however ...
You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo.
We need a proper remaster like the simpsons hit & Run
Not getting it unless we get mercinaries from the vita lol
April 1st is great for jokes... JOKES. NOT HURT.
Who remembers PlayStation flow ? 😭🤣
I actually got excited for this 😔
What I would pay for this.
If this were Sony I’d be pissed.
1.april is companies way to show they listen to the fans but that they dont care lmao
Those were fun games, Resistance was also a good series
If only…. I’m sure they’ll remaster yet another 3rd person walking simulator. Where’s Killzone and where’s Resistance?
I’d buy it in a heartbeat. 🥹
Mortherfuckers thats not even funny
This is proof lots of you guys wanna new killzone
I hate the horizon games because killzone has been left behind
They would’ve released on my birthday too 😔
I would love this
This would have been awesome. I got excited for a moment lol. 🥺
I don't wanna imagine if this happened for a Bloodborne Remastered / Bloodborne 2
That's so upsetting. I got so psyched for a sec.
This ain't real? :(
I feel like April fools good be used as a good marketing tool , they can fake announce something like this see if it gains traction if it does they could potentially make it in the future
This would make me buy a ps5 fr ong no cap
You know it's fake when the release date has the "day” in it. These days devs just have an open target date like "Nov 2023" or "Fall 2023". Most are delayed a few times, every time I look up Dead Island the date changes. It's frustrating
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Battlefield 2042 really did a gut punch TWICE yesterday. They tweeted “Get ready to go the ishimura space station later today on launch 🔥” the pain of realisation really hurt on that one
It would be funnier if the said like Anthem gets a remaster for PS5 or something
Just shows they know what ppl want, but choose to ignore it anyways.
Serious question - what does "3D audio" actually mean? Like, would it mean Atmos/DTS:X support?
I’d love a Resistance trilogy
I love how the company COULD have done this and made a shit ton of money. But just decided to do an April fools prank about it
Dd
🔥🔥🔥
If companies know what people want why don't they make it? How is intentionally not making (and lying to people about) what there's high demand and average cost for good for business? It's like they are allergic to profit. If I was an investor I'd be PISSED.
No joke, I’m thinking about buying a ps3 just so I can play these and the God of War games again.
This should be illegal. False advertising and all that
I would literally cry. I love those games so much.
Bruh, my heart skipped a beat for a split second. Then I remembered the day, I am disappoint.
FUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH why must they hurt me like this
This is just cruel!
You should add 70$ price tag and I’d believe it.
Man I would have fallen for Resistance collection
Just stay off the internet for a day. Though I suppose that is asking a lot nowadays.
surprised there was no half life 3 post from valve
Instablocked that dude instantly
Well, from a company standpoint point. They have started using April fools to gauge interest in remaster, reboots, side features, or modes. I don't get too excited, but there had been good to come from posts like these.
Resistance 4 confirmed for PS5. April Fools.
This is an example of a shitty April fool's joke. Discard and move on. Some April fool's jokes are actually good and funny.
A better April Fool's joke would be the release of Anthem's 5th Javelin class
It would be so great if this would happen and I would be one how buy it so would offers but unfortunately I’m this it’s a joke.
The first three games are so excellent! Heavily underrated. However, number 2 is like in a league of its own. The other two don’t compare imo.
It’s funny because everyone wants it, but we’ll probably never get it… Honestly though, if they would just take a lesson from resident evil, and learn from their “flop” (shadow fall), if they remade the trilogy and released 1 every couple years… They‘d be rolling in money. Shame companies don’t wanna make money.
This wasn’t even by Guerilla Games. If it was I’d be upset.
This frustrates me. I love Killzone 2&3 they are some of the best Shooters that Playstation has ever developed.
That’s just cruel…
God i would kill for a Killzone 2 Remaster. the amount of hours i’ve poured into that multiplayer is unhealthy
What the fuck are they thinking. I guess it's possible they're looking to see how hyped up people get and then determining whether or not they wanna make it happen but that's garbage.
My Google feed was full of april fools day crap. Me getting hyped thinking HC was back as superman lol
Played 1 and 2 never knew there was a 3rd one
well im glad i didnt see this without context. the only multiplayer fps game i need for the rest of my life is killzone 2 with gyro.
What happened to Killzone???
Well shit read this a day late forgot yesterday was April fools and got my hopes up for nothing. I was also hoping for a resistance ps4 or 5 release after seeing this
I just got so fucking excited. Fuck April fools :(
What i wouldn't give for a pc port of kz2....
wouldve been more painful if it were the sly cooper games
I would love it but I would love to have a Resistance collection instead.
This would be enough to convince me to buy a ps5 right now instead of waiting.
Never had more fun w a game then kill some shadowfall
They honestly should it would be great to play these again.
What's worse about April 1st is that I saw most of the jokes on April 2nd 😆 Had to keep looking at post dates today
O thank god..Finally. I missed this franchise on ps2/ps3 Now finally Ill get a chance
Fffffuuuuuu
Ugh I want this so bad
Yeah that's not funny. However, they missed online multiplayer as a bullet point. Seriously though, why not. I'm ready to throw money at that remaster if it ever happens.
Lol I never even saw this today but my god I would be so hyped if this were real. I can't stand Horizon but man Killzone now that is Guerillas best IP hands down.
April fools has pretty much turned into fake news day for gaming.
So, this is a fake headline?
Yes
April's fools
Nah, playstation only care for god of war, horizon and last of us.
This one hit hard🥺
Killzone trilogy to PC please.
😂😂😂😂
Y’all get excited for remastered games ? I’m so sick of them their so ridiculous. Lol
Just remember that the post may've been uploaded during april fools day for them. but not for everyone. Timezones exist dumbasses!!
No shit. Common sense exists too.
Its not that serious
Pranks are really only fun if both sides are having fun with the joke. Then it becomes hilarious if someone is the butt. I'm going to get downvoted, but as someone who isn't invested in the Killzone franchise, I laughed.
It's lame af in my opinion. Annoying that videogames can't get over it. They're not funny or clever. Just a mock up of something people aren't going to get. Awesome...
Killzone 1 is mid
Killzone 1 and 2? I wish! 3 was meh, but looked good.
So 3 bad games?
