The Greatest Lies in Gaming History

Actually the Great Fairy/ Triforce did exist in the early build of Ocarina of Time, I used to have the teaser trailers that showed both of them.

-Getting Pikablu (aka Marill) by beating the Elite Four 100 times in Pokemon R/B

-mvc3 being a good game

Some dipshit told me princess Peach was in this castle

  • A truly great intended lie: Deactivating the nuke on Metal Gear Rex with the 3 in 1 keycard “i was like WTF!!??” The codec call after that is legend.

  • Kayo Police

Pretty sure everyone thought there was a way to fight Sheng Long in SF2

Final Fantasy…o_O

GGPO doesn’t work with X 3D game because it takes too much processing power/ram for PS3/360

MvC3 getting DLC support after release(lol)

SFIV: AE being the last version of SFIV(not that I care since I don’t play the SFIV series, but there’s already supposed to be another one planned which is sad considering what they’ve said.)

The princess being in another castle…I’m sure that was the same castle EVERY TIME!>:(

On the whole Triforce Subject. This was one of the biggest lies/hoaxes that I recall.

It’s a lot to read,but the person even fabricated screenshots.

Battle.net 2.0 is so good you won’t wan LAN!”

Sega Dreamcast 2.

Anyone figured out who the legendary Sushi-X from EGM was?

Playstation 2’s pre-debut capabilities that Sony was touting to the press corps… and the mindless fanboys ate it all up.

There will never be a Genei Jin type mechanic in Street Fighter.

Said sometime after SFIII: 3rd Strike or CVS2.
8-10 years later we have Yun and Yang in AE

Wish I could remember who said this…

When the gameboy came out, this one bitch said she had one in color. I was infuriated.

Did she confuse it with GameGear?

Also…
Sheng Long in SF2
Akuma in RE2
Capcom caring about the core FG community

Street Fighter IV will play like Super Turbo, and Super Street Fighter IV will be the final version!

Nintendo bought out SEGA after the Dreamcast died! That’s why there are Sonic games for the PS2 . . . and Xbox . . . and Xbox 360 . . . and PS3 . . . and PC . . . and PSP . . .

Gamers don’t want online play, from Nintendo.

Didn’t you guys hear? Sonic Unleashed is going to be the last Sonic game ever, and then SEGA’s going out of business!

The Gamecube is causing Nintendo to go bankrupt! They’ve just cancelled the Revolution!

SEGA’s making a new console! It’s called the SEGA Jupiter and it’s gonna launch with Shenmue 3!

Microsoft just bought Nintendo!

The Xbox 360 has a 99% failure rate!

Finish the fight with Halo 3! It’s the last one, so own the trilogy today!

The PS3 only does everything, except for the things we’ve been taking out of it since launch!

^^I’ve heard all of those.

some of the biggest lies I remember:

The Jaguar 64. My ass. If those were 64 bit graphics, I know a big booty cutie who lives on a bridge in the dessert who would like to meet you.

Final Fantasy: It don’t end!! that shit NEVER ENDS! It’s been 20 damn years!! I’ll be a ghost in one of their games before it ends!!

Chaos Legion being good. The hell was up with that? I once selected the malice (Arrow) Legion, I left the controller on a chair, went to take a shower, and came back. Not even one single hit on me. True story. Blasphemy (Bomb) Legion? Forget about it. Only on the hardest setting will you stand a chance of getting hit, much less killed.

You’re right, those are entertaining. :tup: Thanks for the link!
