This Latest Deadpool Trailer Is Just Exhausting

There's breaking the fourth wall, and then there's giddily motorboating it to death while screaming "BOO-YAH!"

Okay, guys. I'm just going to clear this up.

Nolan North's Deadpool in THIS game is spoken a slightly lower tone of voice than his Deadpool in MvC3. Don't tell us "they got a different voice actor from mvc3" when they are the same, it isn't that hard to recognize. I mean, one of the boxes even sounds exactly like the MvC3 Deadpool for crying out loud.

Plus, yeah this game was going to be overt and stupid. I'm not really sure what sort of high class you expect from Deadpool. Maybe it'll be a trainwreck like DNF, maybe it'll be really stupid fun like Saints Row. Either way, we'll just have to see and find out.

I'm no Deadpool expert or anything, but...this wasn't that bad. Sure, the "I <3 DP" sign was a bit much, but everything else seemed Deadpool-ish. Right?

I'm not gonna write it off just yet.

I am re-reading deadpool. This is exactly how he is in the comics except for his whiny serious moments with cable. Not sure who they think deadpool is... He's a trite, bombastic character, but it's funny in the context of the zealotry of most marvel heroes.

Do people really find this funny? The humor feels like its for kids but with the amount of blood they were showing i doubt they would get a T rating.

I didn't know there was Deadpool game coming. And yeah I don't like the voice they chose. I never thought of Deadpool having a raspy voice.

Eh, it's a trailer, trailers don't represent actual games. ;) I wouldn't be surprised at all if the actual game was far less obnoxious & goofy. (or not) I'm just happy to see Nate & Wade together. :3

I dunno looks like High Moon is having a tonne of fun making this to me. They earned my absolute respect with how they treated the TF license so I'm hoping this game is awesome as well.

I have zero affinity for Dead Pool but I thought the trailer was alright. I'm expecting something along the lines of that Wolverine game, dumb fun.

With as many times as he said "Bang" in that trailer. Playing the game would be like playing MvC3 with a team of 3 of him and just spamming one move over and over again for 4 hours.

I wouldn't get too upset, it's just the trailer I'm sure the game itself will be better than whatever the PR department have decided to do to try and sell it... so chill people

I prefer mentally unstable, tragic Deadpool over "Deadpool - wacky internet meme", but whatever...

Listening to Nolan North spewing badumb one-liners in an action game that, at the very least, isn't just another gritty epic? Fine by me.

Authenticity Cry Babies cool your heels, Marvel never sticks to its guns with its "Comic History". So with that being said, The F****** trailer looks fine and the game play "looks" awesome.

What...the fuck...was that?

Why can't anyone just make a Deadpool game where Deadpool is completely written by Rick Remender? His Deadpool = the best Deadpool.

I hope Cable has more than a cameo. If this is on par with stuff like Lolipop Chainsaw / Shadows of the Damned in terms of gameplay I'm on board. Not going in expecting the next Ninja Gaiden Black here.

I think they are doing a good job portraying who deadpool is (bat shit crazy, random ass goof), I'm just mad skeptical about the gameplay and the game. I don't think it will be better than your average spiderman game and like no where near as good as the recent Batman games. Plus I don't see it being longer than 4-6 hours which might not justify $60 tag in this market for most people. Hardcore comic fans who know a lot of the in jokes might love it for the fan service though. I mean when I saw Cable and the mention of Cable's Man-Bazookas was enough for me to get on board, but for the average person.... I'm not sure.

Also, I wish this was the game based on the new Deadpool comic where he is fighting Zombie Presidents. It is so awesome on so many different levels.

Exactly. I don't think the trailer's half bad. Annoying and nuts enough, pretty good visuals (except for that banana..). I'm just worried the gameplay is not going to be any interesting, as well as that there will be way too many random-ass remarks on repeat throughout the game. Deadpool is not really a character that is fit for a game. I think a movie suits him better.

The knee-jerk hate for this game (based off of a trailer) is crazy. I don't know if it is the community's love of hating or followers of the heavy handed snark headlines of Alex Navarro, but good grief. I feel sorry for High Moon for having to re-create a popular comic book character. Getting this in-game Deadpool to match what is in every fan's mind has to be an impossible task. Heap on top of that pressure, the fact that Deadpool is a pretty divisive character anyway. Personally, it seems they are playing him up as an obnoxious nut and that's always the impression I've gotten from him. Maybe the game will suck. Maybe it will be great. I don't know, but I'm willing to wait and see more than a few minutes of strung together one-liners.

As a guy who has read far to many Dead Pool comics I couldn't have said it better myself.

It's almost as if everyone expects a developer to cater to just that one person.
Guy 1: They should make this Dead Pool game like I want it, me me me
Guy 2: No, they should make it like I want it, it's all about me!
and so on.

It's disgusting

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand this was what I was afraid of. I like Deadpool, but in the wrong hands he can be really annoying. These are obviously the wrong hands.

So, on the one hand we have gamers upset that their passion isn't taken seriously by those outside of the culture, or that video games are blamed for violent and puerile behavior by the media, or that people like Roger Ebert say they'll never be art and are a waste of time. On the other hand, we have this trailer which has a tittering woman with bouncing breasts holding up a placard that says "I love DP." Something's gotta give, folks.

While I have no plan to buy this game, and can't really say exactly what the game is other than maybe a third person game, I thought the trailer was funny, though I can see why some would find it annoying. I also don't want to hear more Nolan North unless it's Nathan Drake. No disrespect to him, but it's just too much.

I barely know about Deadpool, but I already can tell "Yeah, this is pretty much his MO." What did you guys expect?

I enjoyed the trailer, and it served its purpose. I'm interested.

Daniel Way is and always has been a terrible Deadpool writer. More LOL RANDOM than having any thought put into it. Give me Gail Simone, Joe Kelly, or Fabian Nicieza any day. I haven't been able to read a Deadpool book regularly since they put Way in charge of it forever.

Since I'm not a cynical jackass, I thought the trailer was rather entertaining.

I just don't like the trailer, you're the one calling people out for having opinions different from your own.

I guess I enjoy a certain restraint in my humour, and where Deadpool at his best is self-aware and totally disconnected from his situation, this comes off as crude and obnoxious in the most lazy way possible. "WOAH MAN BOOBS HAHA BEYATCHES BAZINGA". For reference; talking about the trailer, not making presumptions on the game.

While it's easy to see this being a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" kind of situation with varied audiences for both comics and video games, I have to give High Moon Studios a lot of praise for even taking a swing at making a Deadpool game.

Well it's what I'd expect from a Deadpool game, still not sure if I'll buy it on day1 but I'll play it.
