Deadpool (PS4)

Product Information

Cable convinces Deadpool to help by telling him that his favorite taco restaurant will be destroyed along with the rest of the world if Sinister is not stopped. On August 31, 2015, Activision announced that they would remaster the game for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Peter Della Penna revealed later in a press release that Daniel Way had written the story for the game, bringing his signature Deadpool humor to the title. Critics praised the humor, the original story, and the keeping true to the comics, but criticized the controls, combat, and repetitive gameplay. He briefly abandons his quest upon spotting Sinister, whom he kills, only to learn it was another clone.The pair land in an abandoned mutant prison where Blockbuster kidnaps Rogue, prompting Deadpool to try and save her while planning to seduce her. After regenerating, Deadpool awakens to see X-Men members Wolverine, Rogue, Psylocke, and Domino, who are trying to foil Sinister's plot to conquer the world with his army of clones.

But what makes this game a 7 and not an 8 is because it's only about 8 hours long and after that there's only the challenge maps and after that nothing. Although the game is repetitive and short,it's hilarious and that on it's own is worth the purchase plus it's incredibly true to the character with Nolan North voicing him and he immediately steals the show,and yes the game is repetitive but at least the combat is so fun that I don't really mind. All digital copies of all Marvel/Activision games, including X-Men: Destiny and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, were removed from Steam, Xbox Live, and PlayStation Network, due to an expired contract between Marvel Studios and Activision.

The game was re-released on November 18, 2015 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to coincide with the release of the 2016 film based on the character. Activision no longer had a right to make downloadable content, trading cards, and patches to the game. Eventually, Deadpool kills Blockbuster and rescues Rogue, who absorbs his regenerating powers via kissing to heal herself, leaving Deadpool temporarily weakened.

Coming back to life, Deadpool finds himself in Genosha's catacombs, where he must help Cable kill Sinister's soldiers before going on a spirit quest to retrieve the souls for death. After killing Marauders member Arclight, Deadpool finds White meeting with Mister Sinister, who has Blockbuster kill him once informed that the mogul's satellites are under his control. If you can tolerate Deadpool's demented humor, you'll find a nice few hours of entertainment within the game". Similarly to other media featuring the character, the game includes self-referential humor and numerous fourth wall breaks. While we’ll accept that Deadpool the character is an acquired taste, this is an indisputably poor game, one whose knowing winks and quips come off not as metacommentary but as tacit apologia for its litany of specific failings.They appreciated its unique fourth-wall breaking gameplay sequences, but said that "Unfortunately, those points are few and far between. Of course, the action is as standard as can be and often done better, but the sense of humor is so perfect, that you'll actually suspect Deadpool himself to have developed the game. While the gameplay can become a bit repetitive, I found myself continuing to play, and enjoying myself enough from the humor in the game". Another marketing campaign started with billboards taking the appearance of graffiti covering advertisements for The Amazing Spider-Man, presumably made by Deadpool to crudely advertise his video game.
