Meta comic book star Deadpool will be starring in his own video game, Activision has announced at San Diego Comic-Con. High Moon Studios, developer of the most recent Transformers games, is working on the project.

The first footage of the game shows off Deadpool's trademark sarcastic attitude combined with some very M-rated gun and sword play.

No platforms are mentioned in the initial trailer, but High Moon's experience is solely on console. Perhaps they can get another PC developer to work on a port, much as they did with Transformers?

        High Moon's track record all around is pretty solid, Dark Watch, Bourne, The Transformer games are all pretty great. I just hope they get all the time they need to deliver something great.

          It looks like they really get DP from the trailer... wait, that didn't sound quite right.

            i dont know. DP is not something you should have all the time. DP only makes sense when it shows up every now and then

      Looks good. Hope it makes up for the shitty Xmen Destiny game released last year.

      I can only hope Rob Liefeld comes into do concept art for this. Or perhaps designs an alternate costume with additional pouches.

              Maybe Rob would grace us with a female variant of Deadpool, so we could see what women who feature quadruple "D" size breasts, size 0 waists and scoliosis look like.

      Not by an established PC developer means (in all likelihood) that it might not be that great on PC, though. :(

        The first Transformers game was pretty good on PC.

          Yeah, that's right, it was (imho)...okay, well I'll be cautiously optimistic then. :)

      Mercenary Technology did the PC port of the last Transformers title, but they also did the excellent but flawed Wolverine game awhile back. I wish they would patch that game and put the Danger Room DLC out for the PC. I could never finish that game without GPFing my system. I had to watch the ending on YouTube.
