Marvel's latest rescue film, "Deadpool and Wolverine", is currently being screened in major theaters. As an R-rated movie, its global box office has exceeded $1 billion and is still rising. From a data perspective, "Deadpool and Wolverine" can be said to be the best performing Marvel movie since "Avengers 4".
Deadpool and Wolverine has received a lot of attention because of the two classic Marvel characters Deadpool and Wolverine. Not only in the film and television level, it has also brought other content to the forefront, such as related controller peripherals. What's more surprising is that the Deadpool game released 11 years ago has also begun to be discussed by everyone.
The "Deadpool" game launched by Activision in 2013 is now out of print. Because the license period has expired, this game can no longer be found on major platforms. As a result, physical cartridges have become the only way for modern players to experience it. This has led to the physical cartridges of the "Deadpool" game on the Internet being sold at sky-high prices.
As the popularity of the movie increases, a Deadpool game was auctioned on eBay in the UK for nearly 40,000 pounds. Now it seems to have been given the value of a collector's item.
However, the platform eventually chose to take the initiative to end the auction. Just like the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" gold card that was hyped up to 80 million yuan a few years ago, the platform did not think that this high premium figure could eventually be sold, so it called a halt.
To be honest, the Deadpool game is a very unique game. When making the game, the developers of this game incorporated the setting that Deadpool can break the fourth wall and talk to the audience in the comics.
When you control him, Deadpool will often talk to the player. Because he is aware of the player's presence, he will even block out his private parts when he goes to the bathroom. As set in the comics, Deadpool is a chatterbox. Almost every moment, he is chattering with others or talking to himself.
But that's all. In terms of gameplay, the influence of Deadpool is far less than the quality of the film and television series. At the same time, Warner produced a classic superhero game such as Batman: Arkham Knight, but the gameplay of Deadpool is quite shallow. Putting aside the funny elements, whether it is the lack of interactive combat content or the setting of eating gold coins and props, it seems a bit inconsistent.
In this work, Deadpool appears in the same frame with many X-Men characters, which can be regarded as a comfort to fans.
With his outstanding performance in three movies, Deadpool has become one of the most popular characters in Marvel. However, there is no news related to the production of games in the market. Instead, Sony is developing a related game for Wolverine, another protagonist in the movie, and it is expected to be released in 2025.
Given the value of the Deadpool IP, it is only a matter of time before a rebooted game is developed. However, in recent years, superhero-themed TV series and games have seemed to be somewhat lackluster. Compared with TV series, the production of games even requires a longer development cycle and is more difficult to satisfy the tastes of players.
There are only a handful of highly rated superhero games, and most of them are failures like "Suicide Squad". If there is a chance to see a reboot of the "Deadpool" game in the future, I hope the development team can show more sincerity.
