So... Deadpool.(again)

[Anathrax]

According to PCGamer [http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/06/25/deadpool-game-release/], High Moon's Deadpool game launches tomorrow. There's a new trailer with (what I assume) some gameplay)


Note: If you have a hatred for the words "Guess" "Assume" and "Think", don't look here.
This is supposed to be ironic I guess.
Now I'm assuming that most of the humor in this game will be parodies(Or worse, references) of other games and trailers and whatnot. I also noticed Wolverine being jabbed at a lot. But screw that, let's talk gameplay. It's going to be a third person over the shoulder shooter(like the transformer's game), with some levels breaking the pattern(The "Ooh I love 8 bit levels" looks like it's going to be a 2d sidescrolling level). Aaand that's about all I can guess assume and think.

Thoughts?

Again, this game is releasing tomorrow. I have no clue why they withheld so much information until now.

 

[Shadowstar38]

I've seen this pattern before. We tend to get little to no information about a game when the publishers want to hide how mediocore a game is and still get money from pre-orders. (please let me be wrong)

Despite that, the game still looks pretty fun.

omG, its sooo random LOL

Ugh.

Is that second rate Spiderman guy supposed to be irritating as fuck?

'Cause he really, really is. I really don't think I could stomach a whole game of that crap.

 

[Soulrender95]

Yeah that's Deadpool all right, he has no fourth wall so is always totally aware of what medium he's in of course to characters in the marvel universe this makes him look coo coo for coco puffs, though sometimes he really does hallucinate.
The knocks at wolverine he tends to do in universe as well.

he also has an unhealthy obsession with bea arthur

it's all part of his charm and I can't wait for the game personally.

I usually like what I see of Deadpool but that was fucking painful. Looks like videogame writers still can't do humour.

Except for the fact the game was written by Daniel way, a former Deadpool writer not a "Video game writer".

can't speak for the trailer itself.

...Well. That's something. Did something happen or was he always this bad?

It's probably more to do with the change of medium. A lot of Deadpools appeal comes from how he completely ignores the 4th wall and is totally aware of the medium he is in. This requires a degree of experience and understanding to pull off. Such knowledge isn't exactly transferable over other mediums.

So yeah, my guess is his skills as a comic book writer doesn't translate to Games too well.

EDIT: Alternatively, things like Pacing, Comical Timing, framing and so on... all of these things require a different skill set in comics over other mediums (heck, each medium has their own knacks). Lacking these, the best writing falls apart.

Nothing new here then, this industry is chock-a-block with conflicting elements. Writing grinding up against gameplay, narrative themes grinding up against core mechanics... we all know the drill.

Its really sad to see deadpool like this...
Being a longtime deadpool fan and all, remembering when he still had characther and all
and wasn't just a walking joke.

No, its just that Daniel Way isnt a very good writer at all.
He is pretty much responsible for the "Deadpool" we now as today.

I love everything about what I've seen, but I'm waiting on reviews. High Moon know what they're doing but length isn't their strong point. I hope it's longer than 5 hours this time.

I never followed Deadpool too closely, my experience with him is through friends who were fans. So I'm not sure of the distinction between "classic" deadpool and modern deadpool. What did he do differently?

That seems harsh... Imo, he's the second best Deadpool writer.

 

[Leemaster777]

Hmm, I had almost forgotten about this game. I only remembered it recently when I went into a Gamestop and saw a poster for it.

Honestly... I thought that trailer was freaking funny as hell. It actually looks like a better Duke Nukem Forever than the REAL Duke Nukem Forever was.

I'd actually consider buying it, but I'm broke as hell right now.

omG, its sooo random LOL

'Cause he really, really is. I really don't think I could stomach a whole game of that crap.

I don't think you appreciate how angry it would make some people to hear you call Deadpool a "second rate spiderman", seriously I have a friend who would slap you for saying that.
OT: I think the game looks kind of meh, kind of like DNF except not as crap, my hypothesis seems to be supported by meta-critic where it's getting good and bad reviews.

Actually, he has very little in common with Spider-Man besides the eye bit of the costume. And the red. But he was never intended to be a rip off of him. He's actually a rip off of Slade Wilson/Deathstroke.

But he's not for everybody and you don't strike me as a happy person who likes slap stick...

I'm not a huge huge comic person, but I think he's anywhere near that obnoxious in other media.
A smart ass yes, but an outright jackass, spewing banal garbage trying so hard to be funny?

Pretty sure comic Deadpool could be twice as effective with half the dialogue the video game version has.
And I could be very wrong.

Also Nolan North.

UGH.

 

[Amakusa]

the trailer looks funny. It made me laugh. I'll just wait for some gameplay reviews though before deciding to get it thou. Never forget the debacle of Aliens colonial marines.
