Often elaborate, often based on nuggets of truth and sometimes even propagated by wishful thinking on our part, a good hoax can bring the gaming community together, can create discussion and blind belief the likes of which is usually reserved for the urban legend.
This article celebrates those hoaxes, the ones that we could help but believe, couldn’t help wanting to believe. So, without further chatter, let’s jump directly in.
The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.
The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.
With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.
I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.
Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder
One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all

Definitely should have been on the list. I believe this was an April fools some years back, but I remember it getting a lot of attention at the time. MGS2 - on the Xbox? With additional parts where you can play with Snake?
Of course, it almost came true - more than once - but the secret "Snake" campaign never turned up.
If you go to gametrailers pop fiction, a lot of that top ten list is in there.
I only beleived the big foot one out of them all.
The biggest videogame hoax I've seen this gen was
Bethesda saying "the ps3 version of skyrim has parity with the 360"
Followed up by the ps3 box saying "add-on" content.
ughhh 10 page article.
not bad but i'd also add Mortal Kombat Sonya Nudeality.
