Raven Software wants to make a Deadpool game

by David Hinkle on May 1st 2009 3:00PM

The developer behind X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Raven Software, is anxious to try its hand at another Marvel character, Deadpool. The slapstick, loud-mouthed mercenary would be the perfect subject for a new game, Wolverine project lead Dan Vondrak told UGO. Vondrak says Raven Software loves Deadpool and his "smartass attitude."

Vondrak says that if the company is able to pursue a new project starring Deadpool, it would be the Deadpool from comics and not the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. We don't have to tell you how comforting that thought is. We're imagining a game like Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, but, you know, decent.

Beautiful graphics and technical prowress and Epic may go hand-in-hand. But not innovation in gameplay, or storytelling skills... 2 things key to a good deadpool game. If Epic made it, it would be a dull FPS.

Also, small-time, Raven? You're talking about one of the oldest, most storied of western developers. Here, do a little research: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_Software and feel like a fool afterward.

"imagine if Epic Games decided to make the Deadpool game, think creative of what hey can do with the Unreal Engine,"

Yeah, probably make Deadpool 5x bulkier than he should be.

"Yeah, probably make Deadpool 5x bulkier than he should be."

Don't forget that his Epic Armor will glow in random places...you know, for stealth gameplay.

if you read some reviews for Wolverine Origins movie hardcore deadpool fans were bitching that he was way to skinny in the movie and i looked up some pictures of deadpool hes actually a very big buff person so having Epic or as i was using "Epic Games" as an example your comment was pointless

Ryan Reynolds better not be a part of it.

Why not? I thought he did a good job as Wade Wilson. He didn't have any control over the "Deadpool" characterization.

I agree... Ryan Reynolds is absolutely perfect for the role of Deadpool... It truly isn't his fault that they made him different in the movie. For those 2 or 3 minutes, he was the highlight of the movie. I want to play a Deadpool game for sure.

I agree, unless Reynolds does some voice alteration, which would then be a waste of using Reynolds. Deadpool doesn't sound like a normal person, hence the yellow speech bubbles

@EGOvoruhk

Where do you suppose they are going to find somebody with a voice like a gravelly Demi Moore? At least Ryan Reynolds looks something like what Deadpool describes himself as looking like.

Ryan Reynolds better be a fucking part of EVERYTHING.

Please! a Deadpool game would be amazmignggg

Deadpool would be perfect for a game but the writing has to be good or else the game will be horrible.

Yes, please!

I hope they do make a Deadpool game. Just hope that if they do, they take their time on it. And hopefully they will get Ryan Reynolds. He is the perfect Deadpool/Wade Wilson.

If this game was made right then I would have a marathon gaming session with this and the recently announced Mr T. game. After that the Hadron collider would kick in and destroy the entire universe cause nothing else could top that.

Deadpool game + Mr T. game = the end of life as we now know it.

i hope he gets a decent game, he could use some cheering up after on of his favorite actresses just died

Yeah...that news hurt me in ways no one could understand.

THIS ONES FOR YOU BEA!

Oh. God. Yes.

I thought they already said in one of the extra endings after the credits we find out that Deadpool is back to Deadpool by the end?

"That was DEADPOOL???? Oh I get it... At first, I was wondering how Baraka from Mortal Kombat got into the Wolverine Movie...."

LOL.

Yeah, they totally screwed that part up. It's like they weren't even trying at all.

I'm all for a Deadpool game as long as there's no likenesses of Ryan Reynolds in it.

lol my brother said the same thing when he saw it "Hey look it's Baraka from MTK" LMAO

best image yet

As long as he's based on the Comic version and not the movie version I will give it a run for sure.

I CAN READZ?

Ah, sorry. I skimmed when I looked at this.

That would be f**king awesome! Let's hope they get it just right.

My name is actually Wade Wilson.

My name is actually Flash Thompson!

Just kidding! XP

talking to yourself again, eh Wade?
