Wow, really really impressive.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Nintendo please make a joke based on this at E3... Do it.

They'll show up with a controller that also doesn't have sticks and everyone will think it's a joke

And then it will slowly dawn on everyone that it's real, and the doom shall flow

 

[Blackthorn]

Honestly, this should be sold as a collector's item. This is a historic internet moment, gonna remember this for years.

 

[xzeldax3]

I'm not even mad, these pranks brought some great humor out of the GAF threads.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Well, I'm glad I didn't care about any of this stuff.

 

[Polioliolio]

It certainly looked like a real device, but there was no way that was going to be the thing, guys. I mean look at that fucking thing. Fool me once, can't get fooled again.

 

[Strangelove77]

That's pretty impressive. Nice.

Neogaf:
Don't Believe

 

[Goldenmoney]

Fooled my dumbass. I even called out people for thinking it was fake. 3D printing is amazing. I know someone who has one and makes useful household products with it.

It's going to be hard to trust future leaks now. I'm gonna need verification directly from Nintendo for me to believe anything is real.

 

[OneUh8]

That is crazy. Don't ban him!

 

[SmartBase]

I was exagerating the concept to have people understand my point. If "salt" means that I liked the controller and now I feel mad because it's not real, that's not what I am. If it means that I had to discuss something for days with gaffers and even with collegues on my website (that only posted NoE semi-statement btw) to then find out it was all a prank, well I'm probably salty. I don't like lies, unilateral pranks, and troll encouraging.

The way it read like a concern troll made it more amusing because of your post stating you don't like trolls. There's nothing more to it, don't care for the salt.

I read this in Chef Ramsay's voice, hahah!

I should hope so, it's the only reason I've kept the avatar.

 

[Dangansona]

Haha and I remember seeing posts chastising the team fake members who claimed it was 3D printed.

 

[Lady Siara]

That is crazy. Don't ban him!

I don't see why they would honestly. GAF probably got a huge spike in traffic from these fakes.

 

[Markoman]

Well, at least Gaf CSI got the continent and 'region' (Scandinavia), where this was done, right.

Some of you should work for anti-terror agencies.

Edit:

1. Nooo, don't ban him. You can't ban one person entertaining so many others!
2. My conclusion: All those years of science and all the advancements in information technology and
here we are still sitting in Plato's cave ;P

 

[Kerotan Frog]

Lmao he's a genius and his lab is very impressive. I wonder if Nintendo will change their design now.

 

[Future PhaZe]

gawd

 

[dragonfart28]

And now he works for the government.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

GAF > Internet > GAF

 

[BumRush]

Hilarious. I would never spend my time doing this but it's awesome that someone else did. Also, he's incredibly talented.

 

[toythatkills]

One thing I don't understand is how he got into Massive's offices to take the photo??

 

[plutoknight]

Give that man a tag, now!!!

I was on #TeamReal even though I didn't participate in that thread much (but boy did I lurk).

Hell of a week. Kudos, OP.

 

[Justinh]

I don't know this man, but I want to give him a big ol' hug.

Good job.

 

[BGBW]

Lmao he's a genius and his lab is very impressive. I wonder if Nintendo will change their design now.

Why? There's not been much positivity regarding the design. The leaker even said it's not that comfortable to hold.

 

[Chezzymann]

Can we all agree that that thread was one of the --if not THE--- greatest GAF thread of all time? I mean the twist at the end where a gaffer thats actually cool as fuck made the leak just elevated it to a whole new level and sealed the deal for me.

 

[StereoVsn]

Wow, that's excellent job of actual hardware prototyping for the fake. Grats!

That said, wouldn't it be hilarious if Nintendo's eventual design was in the same ballpark?

 

[Markoman]

Why? There's not been much positivity regarding the design. The leaker even said it's not that comfortable to hold.

Lol, do you really believe this would stop Nintendo from doing something like this?

 

[MUnited83]

Ha, knew it. Kotaku and others look dumb as hell now lol

Kotaku usually on point too.

Kotaku only said that they heard from their sources that the NX doesn't have face buttons, did they not? That can still be true.

 

[Markoman]

One thing I don't understand is how he got into Massive's offices to take the photo??

A true magician will never tell all of his tricks.

 

[theecakee]

Nice.

I'm sure Nintendo and Ubisoft PR thought it was hilarious.

It wasn't the greatest by far, but it's exactly the type of thread that's actually fun to be a part of around here, and certainly beats "You're now in a bar with the last character you fucked or killed in GTAV" #573, or "Why do I not love Bloodborne, what's wrong with me as a human being" #12

 

[Boards of Canada]

What about all the people with sources confirming the unit is real?

 

[John Kowalski]

Congrats b, it was pretty well done.

 

[zroid]

Props man. You are awesome.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Incredible.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

I said it in the other thread, he should get a tag for the amazing job he's done.

It was one of the best of this gen.

 

[No_Style]

I loved that video. Well done!

 

[Dweebo]

The 3D printed model I can see being fake, but how did he create that tree? The same tree?

 

[Gaspard]

Oh how cheeky, he tried to divert attention from the little flaws in the device lol.

Nice job on the fake though.

 

[BeforeU]

Great job bro

 

[Caffeine]

the man who fooled the world

 

[ironcreed]

LOL, got to love the internet. He did a great job, that is for sure.

 

[Professor Renegade]

I had my doubts at first, but it was very convincing. Simply incredible.

 

[twothunder]

Very nice work creating this. These fakes certainly convinced a lot of people

 

[TylerDurden4321]

I didn't believe the first white-one with the bad faked-on screenshot for a second. But the black one with acrylic glass..? Totally got me.

Whoever did the original fake, next time just photoshop acrylic glass from a second photo (mobile phone display or so) onto your fake prototype instead of a bad really bad screenshot fake.

 

[Alex Stroud]

What about all the people with sources confirming the unit is real?

Welcome to games journalism, one of many subsections of modern journalism where its writers tend not to care what they pass off as gospel as long as the clicks keep on coming.

 

[daveo42]

That was amazing. Dude got us all fooled.

 

[Kyari]

Haha oh man that's great. I sort of forgot this is possible now that 3d printers are common place. Great job man.

 

[SuperSah]

Now THAT was a troll I can forgive!

It created one of the best threads I have read, so thank you.

Also, great craftsmanship.

 

[Vocal Antagonist]

There were so many on here who were snarky and critical of #teamfake, suggesting they were in denial and so forth. Radio silence from those folks now.
