Pilotwings: Freefall!!! Pics inside

[Crash]

April 1, 2004 Today is a great day for all Nintendo fans as Factor 5's Julian Eggebrecht goes public with an announcement we have all been hoping for: the PilotWings series is finally coming to Gamecube. Entitled PilotWings: Freefall, the series is taking a much more elaborate approach with this new iteration. Set to be released in August in the US, Freefall will feature 16 different environments from skydiving over the Sahara, to hangliding in the Rockies.

"This has been something that we wish could have been announced earlier, but we had to keep everything tightly under wraps until closer to E3, we are bringing Freefall to an entirely different level," said Eggebrecht.




Wow, it's about time this happened. Can never have too many "lifesavers candies". Can't say that i'm entirely impressed though...Make it by august? Doesn't look playable, but apparently will be at E3

So who's April Fool's joke is this? Crash's? Gametavern's?

The images look like they're from some crummy old tech demo from back in the day :sneaky:

I don't think it fooled anybody. :p

[Typhoid]

It might have fooled camfubot....:P

[Stonecutter]

It fooled me I must admit....

Till I thought about it.

I'm just such a big pilotwings fanboy.

[Canyarion]

Honestly I didn't care. Looked like crap, then I read the replies and realised it had to be 1 of the worst april's fool jokes. :p

I do I do! Those looked a little more believable than these though... Maybe if these shots were shown before gamecube was released it'd be believable (as I said, they look like crummy old tech demos)...

[Crash]

heh, i was the one who did those perfect dark ones back in the day.... heh...

[Canyarion]

That was you? Cool.. didn't they like go all around the web? :D
But you could see that they were just PD shots with an effect to it... :)

maybe we are talking about something different, this was like 3 years ago, we did it at GT, maybe there was another one, the one i am talking about just showed environments.

looked a lil like this one:

[Canyarion]

Oh I thought you made the cell-shaded PD shots. Guess that was IGN. :D
