Congrats guys lol!! However seeing as I kinda remember last years ComicSans insertion and whatnot, I was kinda... expecting stuff like this. Actually I'll be brutaly honest- I don't know how anyone would have been fooled by any of the gags to be honest.
So here's my little critical breakdown of the gags and how the fuck they were themselves ( obvilously) dead giveaways:
-DAK Army announcement: Seriously? The artstyle doesn't fit simply the overall game elements ( it has a lot of refference gags, but since they were up in our faces...
)- 4/10 :/
-The website and the "suspicious" free DLC: The ComicSans was an obvious giveaway but a good choice. As for the ad-gag: priceless. One thing everyone has to learn, never give away e-mails to unknown pop-ups
- 7/10 Average, but not too shaby
-The DLC leak: The DAK spoiled the suprise, this was unexpected, but the moment one got into the... post? it turns into an immediate mating call with Captain Obvious. Sorry Nigs :/ -5/10 I'll admit, it was a bit better than the DAK gag, so there's that
-Fake patch notes: Really? With the amount of bitching in the forums, I can see how this could be an original take on a "taste of your own medicine", but DOYYY, April patch notes announced on the April 1st... NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL BD -2/10 The 222 change... ohhh the cringe... ;_;
-The Japs: Now... this is PURE genious. The image leaks, the fake accounts, THE COMMANDER PORTRAITS, UCH!! MAGNIFICENT!!
But not even that was perfect, wanna know why... the style doesn't fit in. Rita, fucking CONGRATS ON THESE SERIOUSLY!!!, but you missed by a hefty ammount in the overall style.
I would fall for the oily paint effect, guessing that the Relic art team went with a kind of faster(?) way of making these portraits whilst still retaining the quality, but in the end it's the way the Japs look in corespondence with the overall frames. Their positioning, again, I don't mind, might be something different, but the guys overall just don't fit the style of the rest of the portraits! They look like they're from another game OR even this- they might fit in better as vCoH Campaing characters.
I don't remember if Relic used another font for their promo images other that that one they usually use, but that's a minor fault
But overall -8/10 Almost, ALMOST, but still genious!!!
Sorry guys for the decemation, I know how much thinking and work has to go into this and I really appreciate it to be honest. But to someone who would know that April fools is well... April fools, it doesn't take much work to figure it out
To those who didn't notice that all these were jokes - no offense, but what the fuck. You flamed up a JOKE thread >:I
