About Bill Abner:
Bill has been writing about games for the past 16 years for such outlets as Computer Games Magazine, GameSpy, The Escapist, GameShark, and Crispy Gamer. He will continue to do so until his wife tells him to get a real job.
This looks like it will be both horrifying and slightly hilarious, though general,y not for the right reasons. At least they didn’t even try to take the game seriously.
I’ve never met anyone that reads Deadpool. Who the hell reads Deadpool?
That said, I do read Rick Remender’s Uncanny X-Force, and he’s one of the team members there. His comic schtick works OK in the book because it’s well-written and there kind of needs to be some levity since it’s pretty dark.
That said, in the first story arc Deadpool does probably the grossest thing I’ve ever seen in a Marvel book.
The early stuff in his first solo series Joe Kelly did and the early Cable & Deadpool stuff I found to be pretty enjoyable. In those he gets treated as an actual character and develop him rather than only using him as a joke.
I liked the trailer. Not because it was funny or made me want to buy the game. But my hope is that the game will flop and stop all the other studios from thinking “hey, those batman games made lots of money. Let’s make a comic superhero game, too”.
While we’re at it. Zombies, vampires and post apocalyptic wastelands need a break from video games as well.
Yeah, this is precisely Deadpool. If you don’t like the trailer, that’s fine. Give the developer some credit, though. Your issue is with the character, not the game.

Generally, agh @ iPad keys
“I’m not really the only one with shit in my pants, am I?”
Yep. Yep you are. I did throw up a little though, does that count?
So not only is it marketed to twelve year olds, it’s written by one to? Count me out.
Do any of you actually read Deadpool?
I don’t read it, but I was under the impression this was pretty much Deadpool’s thing.
Yep. And just because you CAN make a Deadpool game doesn’t mean you should.
Trailers are meant to entice, right? I think that looks like ass.
I do not read Deadpool and really I don’t know why it matters if I do. I like games. I like games about superheroes. I think that looks like shit too.
Shrug.

I am now curious…

I’ll play it not even going to lie. The whole time watching the trailer I thought it was awful.
I don’t know Deadpool from Drowning Pool from Liverpool. But that trailer makes me want to drop the kids off at the pool.

Nolan North’s voice acting was sticking out like a sore thumb to me.
A) I did enjoy Transformers: War for Cybertron from High Moon Studios, so that gives me hope.
B) The trailer fits Deadpool perfectly. That said, the Deadpool comics always rubbed me the wrong way, just as the game is likely to do.
