Remember the announcement in Hideo Kojima’s keynote at GDC? The one where he teased the new Metal Gear? Yeah, that was an April Fool’s joke. The video above was posted here, and it details the true extent to which Kojima was having us on. By the way, Kojima-san, you’re doing it wrong. You’re supposed to do the fool on the day; that’s how it got its name, actually. I still salute you for riling up your own fans, though. Good show.
