It's the first of April, and that means 24 straight hours of heightened skepticism about everything reported or announced in the gaming world, and even longer if you take international sites and differing time zones into account. The pranksters were out in force this year, and while most of them were obvious jokes designed to amuse more than deceive, not everyone was afraid of skirting the realm of plausibility.
Take Konami and Ubisoft, for example. They apparently collaborated on a trailer posted to YouTube titled "Assassin's Solid." Introduced by Assassin's Creed producer Jade Raymond, the trailer showcases gameplay from the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4, with one significant wrinkle. Instead of featuring Solid Snake negotiating a hectic urban firefight between foot troops and walking robots, it appears to follow Assassin's Creed protagonist Altair, who now packs heat and smokes a cigarette.
