Wade Wilson is better known as Deadpool, the uniquely psychotic mercenary and occasional X-Men member who has been a favourite of comics fans for years. With increasing fame and media presence, the time has come for the crazy Weapon-X experiment failure to get his own videogame.
Deadpool is famous for breaking the fourth wall, talking directly to comic readers via his distinctive
yellow speech bubbles. His fi rst starring role in a game seems to be no different. The merc with a mouth starts insulting the player before you can even get started, tapping the inside of the options screen and asking if you have any girls “back there.” Cheeky bastard. Even the tutorial is direct,
Deadpool himself telling you to “press X to jump” and such, in a bored, knowing manner. The guy
knows he is in a game, he knows you are controlling him, and he knows you know he knows.
Nolan North, who you may recognise from every other video game ever made, returns to voice Deadpool after portraying him in other games. From what we’ve seen so far, the writing is very funny, full of nerdy references that gamers will enjoy. It isn’t highbrow, but toilet humour is scientifi cally proven to be always hilarious.
Gameplay looks to be standard hack and slash affair, with Deadpool’s signature katanas and dual pistols making up his standard arsenal, and seem like a pretty damn perfect set for a game. Other
weapons are promised, including outlandish stuff like sledgehammers and laser guns. It’s gory as all hell, in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
Recently revealed to also be in the game is Deadpool’s long time partner/friend/worst enemy, Cable.
If the two pair up as well as they have done in their classic comics run, we can’t wait. High Moon is
responsible for the actually pretty decent Transformers games of the last few years, so Deadpool could
shape up to be great.
