Indeed. Deadpool is supposed to be sarcastic and fourth wall smashtastic, but this felt a bit like the Team Sonic strategy for making a character 'rad'.Pandalisk said:

I dunno. There were times he looked like a fool. Like when he slammed into that grate and fondled Cable's "man-bazookas". Deadpool works because he may be unstoppable compared to his enemies, but his "friends" Cable, Wolverine, and others are able to reign him in and tell him what a jackass he is.beefpelican said:

I remember when Deadpool first came out in New Mutants. My brother still has the comic some where. I never seen a voice bubble that looked like his. They described it indescribable.
apparently someone just took that as meaning 'He sounds goofy'.

If this isn't amazing in the gameplay department I'm going to cry. come on High Moon, transformers wasn't bad you can do this. (pleasdontsuckpleasdontsuckpleasdontsuckpleasdontsuck)
I own the books you're talking about (because I wanted to own the first print of DeadPool's appearance, I thought the actual New Mutants books were ass, but that's beside the point), his voice was further elaborated upon as being (I'm paraphrasing here) incredibly gravelly, deep and raspy (explained by his imperfect healing factor leaving his throat/voice box/etc horribly mangled). Though he was originally meant to be a serious character (He was a rip-off of Deathstroke at the time, but Rob Liefeld says himself that at the time he just wanted an excuse to draw Deathstroke whilst working at Marvel), writers that came later decided to make him the joke people know now, but as soon as the character began to become funny the whole idea behind his voice being like that was essentially of dumped entirely, though the speach bubbles remained.ObsidianJones said:
DeadPool was taken seriously for all of 5 minutes. 5 horrible, horrible minutes.
Deadpool should never be taken seriously, I agree. However, I do feel that having him be that insane and sounding like "something that should never be" adds to the joke.Baron_BJ said:
What did stick out in my mind was what looked like a turret section and, an exploding set-piece. Hopefully the turret is optional and, hopefully the exploding set piece isn't one of many scripted sequences. Nothing wrong with a little bit of either but hopefully the game won't rely too heavily on such things. I'd like a Deadpool game that plays like a Bayonetta or, Devil May Cry personally. That being said though it's nice to see shotguns shooting limbs off.Ocelano said:Sad fact of modern advertising in that there never ever isKenjitsuka said:Deadpool looking good!
Except that wasn't really all that much gameplay for a gameplay trailer
Yeah, I can see it working great in a lot of ways, but I can also seen how the current voices are much easier to work with humor wise, his voice sounding like something out of the depths would just take so much more effort to write for that it probably just isn't worth it to some writers.ObsidianJones said:
Imagine every joke repeated twenty three times over a playtime of about six hours.
