Today was a pretty light day for news. And hardly anyone dared to launch one and ultimately have to assure “that it wasn’t an April Fool’s joke”. April Fool’s Day, which falls on a different date in Europe, has been celebrated internationally and it is almost a tradition that many decide to stop their joke that many unwary people will fall into desperately.
Sometimes it’s good news, other times incredibly well-crafted and even sometimes with a trailer included, but in 2024 we haven’t seen big efforts for this except the curious collector’s edition on FLOPPY DISK of Cyberpunk 2077, with more than 90,000 yellow floppy disks, as it could not be otherwise, in its PC version. Yes, we know for a fact that someone had their wallet ready before clicking and pulling off the prank.
NVIDIA buys Xbox: the joke changes sides
Although we have seen for several years how the classic joke was that Xbox bought Sony, Electronic Arts or even Nintendo, this year the most visited was, on the contrary, that of NVIDIA, which is literally one of the companies the strongest in the world. , bought the Xbox division. And when the river sounds, it carries water and with the strange direction that Xbox is taking and which we still cannot define, anything is possible. However, this one is not. NVIDIA didn’t buy the Xbox.
One of those that we liked the most, because it would have been good, is Resident Evil 1 remake, whose promotional image, more generic than anything else, is rather successful. Even with the supposed date, January 2025, the truth is that part of us still doesn’t want to believe that this is just another joke.
And apart from the usual Klobrille also attracted many people, it was the announcement of a remaster of the classic beloved by Xbox 360 fans, Brutal Legend, the great Double Fine title in the hands of Tim Schafer with Jack Black as the protagonist. Literally, the IP address comes from Microsoft, so why wouldn’t that be possible? All things considered, we’re sure it would be a success. However, like everything else we’ve shown you, this is another somewhat decaffeinated April Fool’s joke. And you? Have you fallen for jokes?
