Screams Duke Nukem

[dronepool]

Duke Nukem meets Devil May Cry.

[Kane Knight]

It's a Deadpool game, so I want to like it, but seriously, that was the most retarded thign I've seen since Kal's last post.

[Kalyx triaD]

So it's great then?

[Kane Knight]

lol

[Blitz]

Instant buy.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Suck it, Wolverine.

[dronepool]

Can't wait for this and the studio making this are apparently pretty good from what I heard, so here's to an awesome game!

[Skippord]

I will own you, videogame

[The Destroyer]

Hmm, could be good. But equally could be terrible.

Same devs behind the last few Transformer games.

[Kalyx triaD]

War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron are awesome. Dark of the Moon was admittingly a requisite shit job for the movie's campaign. Those guys are legit.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh god, they did War for Cybertron? One hell of a lot less pumped now.

[Fignuts]

Kinda siding with KK on this.

Feel like the writing for deadpool is something that works primarily on the page, and it's difficult to capture the charm of it in a movie or game.

Dunno, trailer just kinda made me cringe a bit.

[Kane Knight]

Deadpool comes off more as a twat in the trailer.

[Emperor Smeat]

Hasn't been officially confirmed but people are saying a Wii U version was accidentally announced during the Q&A segment at Comic Con.

Marvel's live blog of the entire event also supposedly leaked it as well.

[Kalyx triaD]

With the Pro Controller, I imagine we'll return to the days of three ports for most releases. No more two ports and some dumbed down waggle version.

[Reavant]

its being written by the guys that do the comic book right now

DEADPOOL TAKES OF HIS MASK OMG?!?!

[Miotch]

Admittedly that was a terrible post.

[dronepool]

Looks like it will be great.

[Miotch]

I dunno. I think it looks legitimately terrible.

[Kalyx triaD]

I need to see actual gameplay. I like North back as the voice, and the tone is right on. I need to see what the gameplay is, especially if it's an action game effort from High Moon.

[Kalyx triaD]

I suppose I should have expected that.

[Fignuts]

That was pretty terrible tbh.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Pretty much. If their budget for the game has stretched into 4 figures, they've overspent.

[VSG]

I will give them a pardon here and consider it an april fool's prank.

[Kane Knight]

They should have tried for something funny.

Started playing this tonight. K so I watched the launch trailer from a couple of days ago, and cringed my way through it. Hated the voice acting, and it seemed like it was trying way too hard to be as zany as possible.

Now, having played the game, happy to say that doesn't seem to be the case. Actually found myself legitimately lol'ing at points. I've only played for about an hour and a half, but yeah seems good.

Gameplay itself is fine. Largely what was expected, just a pretty standard hack and slash. The controls felt a little unwieldy at first, but that may be because I haven't played a game like this in a while (IE I've never played any Devil May Cry). Anyways, you get used to it quickly. Seems like they're taking advantage of the medium. Deadpool is definitely doing his whole tweaking tropes thing to videogames.

Not gonna set the world on fire or anything, but yeah, fun stuff so far.

[Kalyx triaD]

So it's an action game of sorts in the vein of DMC, Ninja Gaiden, Metal Gear Rising, etc? Because NONE of the trailers made that clear. I had a feeling it would naturally head to that style dealing with a guy who uses guns and sword. I would have to put the game through its paces since that kind of game is up my alley.

[dronepool]

Getting it later today.

[Kane Knight]

I have a friend who's getting it, so I'll be playing this soon. It's win-win. If it's good, I didn't even have to buy it. If it's bad...I didn't even have to buy it.

Humour in the trailers looks ridiculously forced most of the time. I've been told this is fairly similar to the modern comics, though.

[Kalyx triaD]

All the trailers show him being fairly consistent with his mainstream appearances in Hulk vs Wolverine, Marvel vs Capcom 3, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. I simply do not know who this more 'subtle satire' Deadpool is that people think they'll get whenever I hear about him being overly zany. It seems he's been like this whenever he gets the spotlight. But whatever.

[Kane Knight]

"Subtle" is a bit relative here.

[dronepool]

True, he's always been zany but Daniel Way writes him with way more focused on humor/silly jokes than the more serious side of him-

To me, it's more that his style works better on the page.

[Blitz]

Update: Game is hilarious.

[The Destroyer]

I'll probably get this when it comes out here tomorrow.

It's Saints Row 2 vs Saints Row 3. If you've never seen the prior stuff or don't care about the change, that's fine, but both were more of a black humour early on and then went completely batshit. It's not horrible or anything (That would be Saints Row 3 :shifty: ), but it does disappoint me a touch. Keep in mind, I haven't followed most of the media you've mentioned, so this is rlatively new to me. Yes, I'm stuck in the 90s. Deal with it.

there's some solid funny stuff in the Giant Bomb preview, so it's not like I hate everything going on here. The humour in the trailers seemed forced a lot, though. Like the sequel to an organically funny and often dark comedy being done solely to honour a promise to a friend since he stayed clean and wanted to reprise a crazy stoner.

[Kane Knight]

I'm having fun with this game, but I'm glad I didn't pay for it. The only reason I'm only a couple levels in is I replayed to try and get some achievements. I have trouble seeing this as worth more than a rental, even if you really love Deadpool or forced wackiness.

I would also enjoy it more if the aiming didn't seem so sluggish and the camera didn't seem so stubborn.

[dronepool]

My amazon.com review

It's simply a fun self-aware zany hack n slash 3rd person shooter platformer. If this came out 2 years ago, I bet ratings for it would be at least 7.0 to 7.5 since there's nothing really that bad about it besides some bland level designs. I see no reason to expect 'Triple A' treatment for every game. It's basically a "2007/2008 era shooter/slashing/jumping game with a Deadpool twist. The humor in this, while a bit juvenile at times is still amusing and worth a play through alone. So if you like Deadpool/Marvel comics and/or games like Dantes Inferno, God of War, Shinobi on PS2, Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, X-Men:Origins: Wolverine, ... you'll probably dig this. It's one of Marvel's best games.
