I was pleased to discover today that a game is being made that's centered around Deadpool, one of my favorite Marvel characters. Seeing as High Moon Studios, the studio behind the excellent Transformers: War for Cybertron and its upcoming sequel. Seeing as they seem to have a knack for making games from licensed properties, they will hopefully serve Deadpool the same justice that Batman received with his recent games.
What makes Deadpool so great? Not only is he a mercenary/ninja, but his personality is very atypical of the common hero or antihero. Deadpool is highly sarcastic and is always cracking jokes at the expense of his enemies, with many of them breaking the fourth wall. It's difficult to explain further without visual aids, so below I have taken the liberty of providing you, my audience, with a few examples...
...after the jump...
Deadpool in a nutshell.
A fairly simple example of how he breaks the fourth wall.
I hope you get the idea by now.
And without further ado, here is the trailer, which I feel really combines all of the aspects of his character and world really well.
It's fairly obvious that the game is going for a mature vibe, both terms of violence and humor, which befits the game well, so as long as the gameplay holds up, this should hopefully be a solid release come 2013.
