It’s a solid 7.5/10 game. The graphics are on point for the time. The combat is streamlined (I don’t mean that as a bad thing). The story has plenty of humor.
It's so stupid to not have all the Activision Marvel games on Game Pass. It's free money for Marvel, shouldn't cost much for Microsoft, and would be a huge win for Game Pass, possibly even bringing in some new subscribers because there's a lot of people really wanting to play these old Marvel games. It's a win for everyone involved.
@@jamiemarshall4738 You're also talking about X-Men and Spider-Man games...and it sure isn't Microsoft that has the exclusive rights to those right now. It's likely Microsoft would have to pay BOTH Marvel and Sony in order make this happen -- and Sony probably isn't too crazy about it in the first place. It's not a simple matter.
I too was introduced to Deadpool through Ultimate Alliance. Since then he's been my favorite Marvel character and when this game came out I definitely had to play it. Loved it so much I finished 10 times in one month which isn't something I do with games. Ever.
This game is such a throwback. I never played it but I remember following it's release as a teenager when I used to read and watch IGN all the time lol. Seems like it just missed a perfect window to become a classic adaptation of Deadpool as the movie came out a few years later.
Companies need to learn that itll be better to bring back these old games for their streaming services that are rare or more expensive than the average new Ubisoft game or generic triple a open world.
From what I remember on the PS4/XB1 versions, the "stutter" has something to do with the internet connection. I remember this being an issue on my XB1, and I would disconnect from the internet on my console, then reconnect, and the stutter would go away. I think it is because the older versions had online leader boards and whatnot that constantly needed updating, and it was left over on the "newer" release.
Just played this game again a few weeks ago through emulation. Still a good game, but it definitely gets boring and repetitive in the 3rd act because you're doing the same things throughout areas that all look similar for the entire game. I'd love to see someone take another shot at a Deadpool game. Fast, combo building combat, gun play, multiple cameos, and a good story.
i’m so glad to see love for this game, it may have been low budget and very unstimulating gameplay wise but they made up for it in personality. even if it radiates ‘spike tv’ energy, it’s almost charming. deadpool always felt like an immortal mutant older broter type charecter. it was my biggest introduction to deadpool, past x men origins, and it made me delve deeper into his comics. i’m so glad this exists and im glad someone else does too
Wow I had no idea this was delisted. I rented it on PS3 close to when it released, and enjoyed it but always wanted to revisit on PS4 when I had the chance
I remember enjoying it quite a bit, the main problem I had back then was was that counters and teleporting used the same button so sometimes you'd teleport instead of countering
Loved that game! Have to see if I can pick it up somewhere. Same as Afro Samurai I recently looking to get. Those where the times where we didn't have too much games and don't sass about everything just because it's not ahead of the curve but enjoy the games for what they are. Good times good memories. Thanks Matty
Deadpool on Xbox One is on my list to pickup. I've also read about the same performance issues, one post I found said to disconnect it from the Internet as the issue is it's trying to connect to the publishers servers and cant causing the slow down. Worth a try.
I recently obtained a copy on PC, and loved it, it's 100% in line with the movies recently and just a ton of charm, not really "outdated" pop culture references, so I feel it aged well and should make a comeback. Interesting thing on PC, modifying the coalesced ini file, you can smooth out the framerate, also some of it seems intentional, some lines of in the ini file seem to suggest a sort of fighting game style pause being built in, you know those freeze frames for when hits connect.
It was okay. I wish the game had some more variety or RPG elements. It's playable once in a while. I had it on Xbox 360 and I gave it up. I got the Ps3 edition at a pawn shop for $5 and realized it's from Region 2 (Somewhere in Europe, South Africa or Middle East...) Thankfully, the Ps3 is region free unless you're 2 games.
I was first introduced to Deadpool with one of the episodes of original X-Men Animated Series, but his time in there was so small that I didn't even bothered to give a crap about, who tf that is. But my real introduction happened with, like yours, with Marvel Ultimate Alliance game. That is when I was introduced to Deadpool for real, but again, until the movies I didn't gave a crap about, who he was back then. I even once thought that he was a, like another version of Spider-Man. But one of my friends told me that it's different character and he got me interested a bit. So yeah, I only started to get interested in Deadpool with the movies. As for the game, back when it came out I didn't care, but a lot later I decided to give it shot. Back in like, probably 2018 or 2019, I don't remember and.. well, it just an okay game. It's not good, it's not bad, it's just something in between. Sure, I have my problems with it, like a lack of proper story, great and dynamic fighting system and more content, but in general I enjoyed it. Not too much but I did. But that second half of the game was boring AF. It felt like devs didn't know what to do and simply put everything in to that half and called it a day. Also, all those jokes worked first time when I played it but now, they just flat and boring, and honestly makes me cringe. So yeah, I feel like Deadpool game can be better.
As someone who worked on this game, I'm pleased to see videos like yours pop up lately. (And thanks for not "pointing out" that it cost $100 million -- it absolutely didn't!) I will say, though, don't get your hopes up for Microsoft owning Activision to help get the games on Game Pass. Remember, Sony has exclusive rights to Spider-Man games right now and, it seems, X-Men as well. I could maybe see a "universe" game like Ultimate Alliance making it to Game Pass if MS wants to pony up the cash. But anything with Spider-Man or X-Men (or Deadpool -- part of X-Men) in the title? No way.
I was introduced to Deadpool through the first Ultimate Alliance game, I also distinctly remembered his Ultimate costume and as a kid I didn’t know it was just a different universe and not some transformation or something Was pretty disappointed when I read Ultimate Deadpool’s few appearances 😅 Also Colossus in the Deadpool movies is built suspiciously similar to Cable in this game
Also I agree....I would love if xbox would make a new licensing deal to bring back all the old activision marvel stuff, Transformers, ninja turtle games
I agree with you matt. If this was a ps2 game back when I was 14 I would've went bananas with this. sad this game went under the bottom of the radar. this was really good still
I would trade my right nut to see all the transformers/ Spiderman games tied with activision be brought to game pass. It's been a bloody nightmare trying to get ahold of these delisted games. And having them all tied to gamepass for one cheap payment would be a dream come true. Nothing to do with activision but I also want arkham origins to return the dlc was delisted a while ago and it deserves a decent next gen port at this point.
I know most Jak and Daxter fans have 1 or 2 as their favorite, but for me 3 was the most complete, so much variety. All the trilogy is so good I can see why you would have any of them as your favorite.
The reason the game stutters is because it’s trying to connect to an Activision server in the background. If you turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect your console the game runs just fine.
I have the ps4 version and playing on ps5 ive not noticed any lag, i noticed none the first time i played it on ps4 but that was ages ago so i wouldnt know if it lags on that but it was a really good game i thoroughly enjoyed it
Theory: I think Cassandra will rematerialize into her physical body but with more multiversal abilities & will be the main villian in Secret Wars/Avengers 5. In the sense of the Xmen timeline if they're saying that the events prior to Logan are all canon then canonically the Xmen who we grew up with in the FOX movies would be dead from the mental shockwaves that the Professor had with his seizures. Blade, Elektra, Chris Evans (Johny Storm), Pyro, X23, Henry Cavill (Wolverine), Channing Tatum, Wolverine (House of X), Wolverine (Age of Apocalypse), Wolverine (Patch), Wolverine (Short Version), Wolverine (Logan Movie), Thor, Happy Hogan, Channing Tatum(Gambit), Toad, Lady Deathstrike, Pyslocke, Blob, The Russian (Punisher), Azazel, Hulk (Avengers) are all the cameos in Deadpool and Wolverine.
I hate how so many people say 30 fps is unplayable, if it dips that’s totally different but bloodborne is a great example of how 30 fps is totally fine and a lot people can’t even tell the difference unless you’re looking for it constantly Just to be clear I’m not saying he’s saying that it just bothers me lol
There is a video on RUclips of exactly that. I remember watching it but not sure where it is at but I remember Ryan admitting he is not good at video games but yea he enjoyed it overall.
Many years ago bought it in my currency at the beginning of when I had my xbox one for 63Florins which in us Dollars is about $35 was on sale brand new which includes the xbox 360 copy which I noticed yesterday when looking at the what to install file on my storage device on my series x
I really do wish I could just be more than wishful thinking for relating the backwards compatibility list. They got transformers games they got this game they got so many high moon studio games and then some to be able to play on Xbox and honestly I feel like in a lot of cases they could just rebundle them and just improve frame rates and maybe some graphics and then you're golden. Literally just make HD collections of these games for the modern era like how we used to get them on PS3 and though it wouldn't be real backwards compatibility I much rather have new iterations of the game that are the definitive version over some of the copies of the older games that don't run the best and probably wouldn't get the best treatments overall but I don't know Xbox could easily do either one but I think they're remastered idea would probably be the way they would want to go
I have this game on the Xbox one and it’s worth $40+ I’ll for sure go up in value after Deadpool and Wolverine dropped so don’t sell it and if you have a PlayStation 4 version keep it I’ll go for 2x the price by 2028-2030 when Avengers Secret wars comes out 😂
The stutters are caused by the game trying to connect to a server that no longer exists. If you play offline the stutters go away. EDIT: well the stutters that consistently happens goes away
The deadpool game is great funny and has really good combat mechanics however it feels like they put hot topic in red spandex and called it a day not at all like deadpools actual character
Saving to watch this after I see the new movie, since Matty has had a bad track record in spoiling things for DP and Wolverine on his channels the last few weeks….
It’s a solid 7.5/10 game. The graphics are on point for the time. The combat is streamlined (I don’t mean that as a bad thing). The story has plenty of humor.
You're more generous than me lol. Its a solid 6 to me, the only thing that kept me going was all the fan service.
@@SolidSnake240deadpool as a character is mostly fanservice and jokes that'd kind of the point of deadpool being a joke 4th wall breaking character
The combat and humor moments are good but the rest is mid or trash.

You're thinking logically. Also Activision/Microsoft would also need to repay for the licenses which is why they're delisted 😢

Let's be real, Nolan North & Deadpool's animation is why this game is so remembered.
Never would’ve guessed this game reviewed so poorly.
It's nowhere near as good as X-Men Origins Wolverine imo, but it still has some memorable moments overall
That's an actual fact! The only thing that can compete is the presentation.
How did you comment 3 days ago on a video that’s 4 hours old?
That part where you can keep slapping Wolverine is the only memorable part.
Dude's a time traveller. Cable or Bishop? 😂@@gabemyers4516
This seriously was the game that introduced me to Deadpool so that was fun for me too because of that
I too was introduced to Deadpool through Ultimate Alliance. Since then he's been my favorite Marvel character and when this game came out I definitely had to play it. Loved it so much I finished 10 times in one month which isn't something I do with games. Ever.
I have a physical copy somewhere and I remember my brother and I really loved it. He's still a big deadpool fan because of it.
Me too bruv....
Same. Was my earliest experience with Deadpool and made me treat him differently from other superheroes, who've I drifted away from.
Nolan North's version of Deadpool is amazing!
This game is such a throwback. I never played it but I remember following it's release as a teenager when I used to read and watch IGN all the time lol. Seems like it just missed a perfect window to become a classic adaptation of Deadpool as the movie came out a few years later.
Companies need to learn that itll be better to bring back these old games for their streaming services that are rare or more expensive than the average new Ubisoft game or generic triple a open world.
Deadpool vs Wolverine should be a good time to bring back licensed games lol would be cool
The writing was pretty spot on for the character but other than that it has nothing going for it for the most part, I did 100% it tho 😂

You're 100% right
I had a fun time with this game.
You have to play offline to get no lag. Thats how i played it
That’s wild
Exactly

lol! On the back we have various speech bubbles... *ARF*. Great 4th wall break there, lil pupper.
"Be honest. I'm not the only one with a little s in their pants."
- Deadpool
Wow I had no idea this was delisted. I rented it on PS3 close to when it released, and enjoyed it but always wanted to revisit on PS4 when I had the chance
We really need a new Deadpool game especially now we are 3 films in heavily featuring him but keep Ryan Reynolds as his voice actor.
A deadpool game were ryan reynold voice's deadpool would be great
Ryan would definitely give it his all too since he loves the character so much
It was never bad
I remember enjoying it quite a bit, the main problem I had back then was was that counters and teleporting used the same button so sometimes you'd teleport instead of countering
While the melee weapon combat was good, I didn't enjoy using guns in this game one bit
I have it on xbx 360 and xbox one. Having Nolan North voicing Deadpool in this game and also in Midnight Suns makes me happy.
This game is a straight up gem
Loved that game! Have to see if I can pick it up somewhere. Same as Afro Samurai I recently looking to get. Those where the times where we didn't have too much games and don't sass about everything just because it's not ahead of the curve but enjoy the games for what they are. Good times good memories.

I like that the disc is a pancake:3
Played on easy or normal it's fine, anything above that and it's ball crushingly frustrating.

I got a cracked version for my pc it was either from my abandoned ware or pirate bay I forget which......

I was having the same problems with stuttering, and I turned off the WiFi on my PS5 and it stopped stuttering, it’s weird
It is the best deadpool game so far. i can still download on my steam account
Its the only Deadpool game thus far so nothing to compare it to.
This game was the reason high moon got demoted to a call of duty support studio and we never got a third game in the transformers cybertron sequel.
I was introduced to Deadpool through the first Ultimate Alliance game, I also distinctly remembered his Ultimate costume and as a kid I didn’t know it was just a different universe and not some transformation or something
Was pretty disappointed when I read Ultimate Deadpool’s few appearances 😅
Also Colossus in the Deadpool movies is built suspiciously similar to Cable in this game
This game made me laugh more than the damn movies
This is actually an amazing game and is true to the Deadpool brand, highly recommended.
Wish i had picked up the remaster/ports of this and ultimate alliance. Found out they existed way too late
Also I agree....I would love if xbox would make a new licensing deal to bring back all the old activision marvel stuff, Transformers, ninja turtle games
I didn’t know Nolan North voices Deadpool in this game until recently. Now I hear nothing but Nathan Drake 😂😂😂
This was one of my favorite PS3 games as a kid I replayed it many times
Can’t believe I got rid of my ps4 copy like 6 years ago😭😭
could've got some MONEY for that 😂
Lol the game is going for a minimum $200 upwards to $400 right now I m happy I kept my copy lmao
@@croatiankid6595 it’s high at $80, but nowhere near $200 , unless you’re not talking about USD
Oh wow I have 2 copy’s for ps4
I loved this one so much I got the platinum on PS4
PS: play OFFLINE for a less choppy experience.
Does this actually make a difference?
@@Deadforge yes, man. A huge difference. If you disconnect your console from the internet the frame rate goes up considerably.
Was the platinum hard
@@thespooderhomie4481 Like a 6/10. Specially because of the final level.

You can also get this game if you sail the seven seas of the internet. It runs okay, wont go past 60 fps
I want them to remaster this and the X-men legends games on ps5 with the ultimate alliance 1 and 2 being available again
This game is so much Fun compeleted it multiple times on diffrent systems.
I have the ps4 version and playing on ps5 ive not noticed any lag, i noticed none the first time i played it on ps4 but that was ages ago so i wouldnt know if it lags on that but it was a really good game i thoroughly enjoyed it
It's insane that this game is so expensive on PS4 now. Meanwhile the PS3 version isn't that expensive.
Have you covered Captain America Super soldier its surprisingly good for a movie tie in game
Played this game when it came out and it played fine the best part is that it was funny too.
I'd rather have a sequel to this than get marvels spiderman or miles morales
Pretty sure this game was not “low-budget”. 100,000,000 Million Dollars 💀
I just bought that game like a few seconds ago
I remember playing this game, its a different experience
I had great fun playing this
Theory:
I think Cassandra will rematerialize into her physical body but with more multiversal abilities & will be the main villian in Secret Wars/Avengers 5.
In the sense of the Xmen timeline if they're saying that the events prior to Logan are all canon then canonically the Xmen who we grew up with in the FOX movies would be dead from the mental shockwaves that the Professor had with his seizures.
Blade, Elektra, Chris Evans (Johny Storm), Pyro, X23, Henry Cavill (Wolverine), Channing Tatum, Wolverine (House of X), Wolverine (Age of Apocalypse), Wolverine (Patch), Wolverine (Short Version), Wolverine (Logan Movie), Thor, Happy Hogan, Channing Tatum(Gambit), Toad, Lady Deathstrike, Pyslocke, Blob, The Russian (Punisher), Azazel, Hulk (Avengers) are all the cameos in Deadpool and Wolverine.
This is a fun little game. Shoddy reviews are by people not familar with Deadpool character and comic history.
That's it.
The ps4 version you have to be disconnected from the internet for it to run smooth for some reason. I platinum both games
Loved this game never understood the hate
I played it forever ago and quite enjoyed it
i loved this game when it came out, haaaated it a month ago when i replayed for the first time. X-men Legends 2 is my GOAT
I want this game ported to the switch
It's what every game should be, fun and enjoyable.
They need to rerelease this game, I’d pay 20 bucks to play it correctly the first time on Steam
Get the rpcs3 and download the emulator I’m playing dead pool now
I hate how so many people say 30 fps is unplayable, if it dips that’s totally different but bloodborne is a great example of how 30 fps is totally fine and a lot people can’t even tell the difference unless you’re looking for it constantly
Just to be clear I’m not saying he’s saying that it just bothers me lol
the animation is also subpar which doesn’t help
Need to see a video of Ryan Reynolds playing this game and what he thinks of it
There is a video on RUclips of exactly that. I remember watching it but not sure where it is at but I remember Ryan admitting he is not good at video games but yea he enjoyed it overall.
Many years ago bought it in my currency at the beginning of when I had my xbox one for 63Florins which in us Dollars is about $35 was on sale brand new which includes the xbox 360 copy which I noticed yesterday when looking at the what to install file on my storage device on my series x
I haven't played this but from what I know from Deadpool, this looks at least like an 8/10 game.
The first game I ever completed 100% achievements for! Solid comic book game
Spiderman 2 on the PS2 did the arkham combat first. They invented it and people have no clue
We need a new deadpool game
How do save your progression for some reason i can't save
I really do wish I could just be more than wishful thinking for relating the backwards compatibility list.

People think this game is bad? I’ve always loved this game
Same
I remember when it first came out everyone was talking about how awesome it was and now everyone's saying it sucks lol
