Activision and High Moon announcing Deadpool project at SDCC

[ProjectPat2280]

Good thing I added this game on my Gamefly que than buying it as originally planned

Had i of purchased the Last of Us and i couldnt of snagged this for 13 dollars, id prob of just rented it as well.

But theres nothing ill be purchasing until September so im fine with spending the coin to sang this.

 

[The Infernal]

Thats what id suggest doing. If you are a fan of Pool deff go through it, but i dont see the replay value being all that high.

Yeah, that's largely why I'm getting it. I don't collect the comics these days, but I did for a long while and I've wanted to see DP in more media for ages.

Hey pat...I grabbed the game off of toys r us for $37.50 and I'm still waiting for it to ship. I love the Way nutty ass humor, I'm forgiving of semi genetic action gameplay as long as they're still some good fun to be had and good laughs...and if anything I'm hoping for an easy platinum....would you say I'll like the game and it'll be worth the price I paid?

I think so man, you kinda sound like me on this situation. I mean this IS Deadpool, its just completely over the top and bats**t insane and IMO REALLY funny. As for the combat yea its fairly generic, but as you unlock more weapons and "gun fu" theres some deff fun to be had in it. But its Deadpool himself that just sets this apart. Im mid way through the game and am really enjoying the game. If you are a fan of the more insane over the top schizo Deadpool, which they really lay on thick, then yea i think you'll be pleased with the title.

When I first heard about this game, I was ecstatic, then when I heard Way was on the writing staff, my ludicrous bias set in and left me concerned. Overall, it looks funny, and I at least want to give it a shot for a bit, but I saw the final boss battles and ending and was disappointed. It looked a bit too simple and ouch. Finishing a game in 6 hours is not a good thing for me. :/

The short campaign doesn't even bother me that much. I think I could get through Revengeance faster. As long as there is some incentive to replay the game, or it's just fun as hell to play, I can deal with it being short. This game though, doesn't even look fun to play.

Here's hoping that if there's a sequel it follows up on this version's short comings and it focuses a bit more on the current version with Guggen and Posehn.

I still want one written by Joe Kelly. I'd want some occasional uber serious Wade sprinkled in.

This game isn't that bad. Gameplay a simple but fun, the pacing is great and unpredictable. Even the voice acting is fine. Annoying, yes but in the way you expect Deadpool to be anyway. Grating? No.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Deadpool scenes in Hulk vs Wolverine are not half as annoying as 2 minutes of him in this game

 

[Wolvieboy17]

To be honest, I don't think you can judge this game too harshly from walkthrough videos. I saw the same demos you guys all did but when you're actually playing the game, the set up and commitment to style and pacing of a Deadpool inner monologue makes it work. Even the bits I found annoying when watching the youtube video didn't annoy me when I was actually playing it.

As a game itself, it's better than both Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time and up there with the Wolverine game (although in my opinion, better and less derivative).

I'm sure the fighting and combat would edge on repetitive if there weren't always weird, humorous things around ever corner. But I'm a huge Deadpool fan. Sure i prefer the Joe Kelly or Fabian Nicieza pool over Daniel Way's, but to be honest, I think Way's pool suits a video game more perfectly than those ones. It's a game not afraid to have fun and it definitely feels like a suitable representation of Deadpools character.

Gametrailers Review.

 

[Havok83]

Does DP really have multiple personalities and constantly have voices talking to him in his head like he's Legion? I don't think Ive ever seen that in the comics Ive read with him

 

[Spider-Aziz]

When Daniel Way writes, he does
Other writers made yellow boxes his thinking boxes

 

[Wolvieboy17]

The two voices kinda work well... You've got the squeaky high one, which to me represents his unstable, insecure side and the gravelly voice is like his conscience and reason and then his default is like the moderator.

 

[Pepsiguy2]

I'm on the waterslide level. So stupid and so hard. Controls are too complicated for such a mingamelike level. UGH

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Deadpool says f*** you to his VA on the phone
That moment is funny

 

[Nathan]

Maybe for the sequel, they should take a look at the upcoming Turtles game for the combat. All we have are Trailers so far, but the combat looks a lot more interesting, than the hack & slash style combat that is in place right now.

From what I've heard there's pretty much just the hoard style challenge modes for extras. No alt costumes, or anything as far as I'm aware of.

Joe Kelly 'Pool game would be amazing! Either the storyline is based on his run, or its an original tale penned by him would work for me.

 

[Oscorp]

As much as I absolutely love the humour and tone from the vids I've seen, I'll never buy it. Gameplay looks way too generic.

By the way, Gamereactor Sweden gave it 6/10 and 5/10 (second opinion).

 

[Nathan]

With all those scores, I wonder how any reviewer could every give it anything above a 7. Are they honestly forgiving most of its shortcomings, simply because the main character is funny? And even that's debatable depending on whether or not you like Daniel Way.

There are, but I don't know how to use em yet.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I think 7 is where it's at for me but I don't see 7 as a bad score, I see that as a very polarising score... Some people will love this game, some people will hate it and some people will rest in the middle.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Can you upgrade your weapons? Sword attacks?
I won't judge the game before witnessing all possible upgrades and experiencing them

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Kelly would of course be preferable, but the sad thing is almost all of the major DP writers over the years would have delivered the goods. Daniel Way is literally the worst one of the bunch they could have nabbed.

 

[Nathan]

Yeah, true. Pretty much every other writer would have been preferable, but they went with the one guy that made Deadpool the most obnoxious and actually made me drop the comic book.

Two more Reviews.

Gamespot 5.5

Deadpool tries to hide its problems behind an exuberant personality, but all the talking in the world can't smooth over some fundamental flaws.

Meristation 6/10

 

[Spider-Aziz]

At least it has no Quick Time Events, right? I hope those don't exist

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Honestly, I would not trust the reviews TOO closely. If you even remotely enjoyed X-Men Origins: Wolverine, you'll enjoy this. It sits on a plane with that and Spidey: Shattered Dimensions. Imagine that level of gameplay but with much better pacing and more consistently entertaining.
