At E3, I ran into Nolan North and he was kind enough to sit and talk to me about a few things. Well, he talked, and Deadpool talked, and a few others talked too…..
You may recognise Nolan’s name – he has been the voice of many video game characters, including Nathan Drake and can be heard as the merc with the mouth, DeadPool.
During the interview he occasionally references Jennifer Hale, you can’t see her in the video but she is sitting next to me while I talk to Nolan.
Anyway, over to Nolan, and Nathan, and Deadpool, and… well, over to Nolan:
Mission accomplished! I, Deadpool, have created the ultimate Deadpool video game masterpiece! I call it…wait for it…DEADPOOL!
It’s pretty much the greatest thing I’ve made (besides my ill-fated root beer float hot tub incident of ’93) and is available now in popular retail establishments and most major chimichangerias (like a taqueria…but with chimichangas!) across the UK. Oh yeah, and those video gamey and comics guys at High Moon Studios, Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), and Marvel Entertainment kind of helped, too.
“I’ll never forget the day I threatened convinced Peter Della Penna, the head of High Moon Studios, to make a kick-ass, third-person comic book video game with extreme combat and bikini-exploding action, starring me,” said Deadpool, Big Chief and Head Honcho of Things & Stuff regarding DEADPOOL at High Moon Studios. “Peter looked me lovingly in the eyes and said in return, ‘Deadpool, I’ll do whatever you want; just please stop filling up my kitchen with pancakes!’ It was that first moment where I really felt like Peter and I had a connection – an understanding that has stuck with me to this very day. Coincidentally, his family dog stuck with me too, you know…for leverage.”
Fans can rest assured that the first order of business while making DEADPOOL was purchasing a life-size replica statue of me for High Moon Studios, so that my outstanding team of talented, dedicated nerd types could gaze endlessly at it in order to make the digital me look as good as real-life me. I also instructed them in the art of building a fast, fluid combat system that mixes all my upgradable bang-bangs with my mad kung-fu-chop saki skills and mutant abilities, so the Deadpool in DEADPOOL (i.e. that’s me…heh…), is a one-stop wrecking machine, perfect for stealth and balls-out explosive frontal assaults alike. Forget walking away from explosions in slow motion – I jump right into them to see how hot they are…REGENERATIVE HEALING FACTOR, baby!
I also filled a windowless room with terrifying spiders and locked…er…hired veteran Deadpool writer Daniel Way and provided him with really, just a stupid amount of spiders a “package” to convince him to pen a script that would befit Marvel’s most lovable character’s debut as a leading man. DEADPOOL is the rare game that plays with you while you play with it, delivering a $#!t ton (it’s just a better system of measurement, people – I can’t stress that enough) of fourth-wall-eviscerating humour voiced brilliantly by yours truly, doing a bang-up imitation of what it would be like if a young up-and-comer I discovered named Nolan North were trying to sound like me (Got that?…).
I am currently available and accepting dating offers – please send full-body shots. In other news, my DEADPOOL video game is also now available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and on Windows PC. If you’re not into hard, packaged goods, the digital me is also available for digital download (Did you think I wouldn’t diversify my distribution network? In this economy? Newbs!) on the PlayStation Network for the PS3 and Steam. I will also be available later this summer on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360. And of course, I…DEADPOOL, am rated PEGI 18! Because if there’s one word that describes Deadpool, it’s “mature.” Want more information? Well, let your fingers inappropriately caress your keyboard over towww.DeadpoolGame.com, or follow along at www.facebook.com/RealDeadpoolor on Twitter @RealDeadpool.
And here is the crazy launch trailer – take it away Deadpool:
Xbox One will not include the headset as a pack-in accessory. Because Xbox One includes Kinect, gamers will be able to use that for chat instead. However, should you want a more intimate trash-talking experience whilst online, a new Xbox One headset will be sold separately.
Microsoft has confirmed the omission to Ars Technica, stating that Kinect features “highly sensitive multi-array microphones designed to enable voice inputs and chat as a system-level capability, both in-game and with Skype and other experiences.” Unfortunately, you cannot use your old Xbox 360 headset, as it is not compatible. After the U turn last week from Microsoft about the always online and DRM, now this can’t Microsoft do anything right for this New Generation of console.
But the Playstation 4 comes with a headset not a very good one, it doesn’t look like something you have to get too excited about.

The first screenshots from Eternal Descent: Heavy Metal Heroes, the comic book/heavy metal, action-packed 3D scrolling endless brawler, that is launching next month on iOS before coming to future gaming platforms. The creator of Eternal Descent Llexi Leon and the game dev is PLA Studios.
The shots come from the game’s first city-based stage and feature nomadic warrior Sirian, who wields an electric guitar as a demon-slaying weapon. He’s basically more rock ‘n roll than One Direction and Bieber could ever hope to be.

Saint’s Row 4 has been refused classification in Australia according to a new statement issued by the Australian Classification Board.
“In the Board’s opinion, Saints Row IV, includes interactive, visual depictions of implied sexual violence which are not justified by context. In addition, the game includes elements of illicit or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards. Such depictions are prohibited by the computer games guidelines,” says the statement.
Since some of the game’s scenes “depict, express or otherwise deal with matters of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults to the extent that they should not be classified,” the game will not be released in Australia.
Volition is working with the Australian Classification Board, and are now reworking some of the code to create a version of the game for this territory by removing the content which could cause offence without reducing the outlandish gameplay that Saints Row fans know and love.
Saint’s Row 4 will still release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in the North America on 20th August, and Europe on 23rd August.

PlayStation India manager Atindriya Bose has revealed that PlayStation 4 will release in the country this year, although it may be delayed by a month due to logistical issues.
“It will be matched with the European launch; give or take a bit to account for Indian logistics. The consoles have to be shipped in advance and currently all consoles also require certification for the India market. In terms of targeting, we’re looking to synchronise with the European launch,” Bose said.
“That’s this year.” he pointed out, before adding that any delay would be “one month at most, unless there is an issue at the certification level.”
This seems to suggest that we could be seeing a global PS4 launch this year, with perhaps even Japan getting in on the action. Reading between the lines it also seems to suggest that PS4 will arrive in Europe before December.
