...and what he does is kill a lot of people. Of course, one might say the Deadpool also cracks wise, and that's he's more than competent at that -- one might even say "the best" -- but this new Deadpool-centric trailer for Activision's Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 just focuses on the killing and not so much the joking. I'm not sure what this actually shows about the game other than possibly flashier superpower moves, but since 9/10ths of the TR readership is composed of Deadpool fanatics, neither you nor I likely give a shit. Thanks to MyNoNos for the tip.

Glad to see Deadpool get some mainstream love, I really hope against hope that the movie is halfway decent.
Reynolds seems to understand the character and conceded that he accepted the fucked up direction in Wolverine because it got him into the role and possibly secured Deadpool even getting made.

His mutant abilities is using guns/swords? Why not just call him the punisher?

No his powers are a stunted regeneration ability and common sense

No, his mutant ability is not 'using guns and swords'. He is just good at using guns and swords. Damn good at it.
That is about as dumb as saying Wolverine's mutant ability is 'making people piss their pants in fear'.

Hes not a mutant. He was given wolverines healing factor by weapon x to cure his cancer. The procedure cured him, but drove him insane. So, to be clear his powers are:
1. Health regeneration
2. Complete badassery
3. Common sence
4. Teleportation (He has a device for it)
5. Being damn good at useing guns and swords

I want one. And I want it now.
The Wife(tm) and I played MUA at least a half dozen times. Her favs are Wolvie and Deadpool (shocker eh?)
Me, I'm more Iron Man myself.
When is it coming out again? They don't make enough of those kinds games. Played Norrath to death, baulder game, the various Marvel games...

Every one of these videos that comes out makes me less and less excited about this game. Everything seems horribly sluggish. The first time you see a slow-motion team combo, it looks nice. The second time, it's ok. Every time after that you're less likely to use the move because it's just annoyingly slow. There are ways to portray the dynamic badass moves that these characters are supposed to be doing without grinding the action to a halt.

Hmm, who do I want on my team? I guess you only get four, so that's fine...
Deadpool is a must.
Iron Man works for me. I wonder how those two would get along?
Sue Richards might be nice. Might as well get the most powerful of the FF, and she looks nice, to boot.
Not sure who on the fourth. Cap might be good, Wolverine...
Oh, wait. Duh.
The Sentry. I wonder if he'll require a code, though? Up, up, down, down, do some drugs, and throw some people into the sun.

Here is deadpool's origin in his own words.
The day my father Odin banished me from Asgard, I was bitten by a vampire and had radioactive waste dumped into my eyes. To make matters worse, my mutant ability to control weather activated just as I was hit by a blast of gamma radiation.
Say it with a C and it's Deadcool.

to bad this game is just gonna be another fucking button masher like UA1 and legends 1 and legends 2.
I hate this kinda game. this shit is so played out with its regurgitated ad nauseum dialog and button mashing just beating up on endless waves of bad guys....
LAME.
i played the first UA just to play deadpool and it was lame and im pretty sure this is going to be lame too.

Button mashers, and explosive barrel chucker games fukin rock.
Some of us don't stay sober enough to play anything that takes any more concentration. I have to be sober and think all fracking day at work. When I get home I want beer, rum, red meat and buttons to mash.

Hopefully Daredevil's as much of an unmitigated asskicker as he was in the first Ultimate Alliance. Him, Deadpool, Spidey and... shit, who's another red-clad hero in this game? Scarlet Witch or (ugh) Elektra?
Too bad this is going to be based on Civil War and not Galactus coming to kick everyone on the planet's ass as they teased at the end of the prior game.

What impressed me about the first MUA was the voice talent and animation in the cinemas. I usually hate cinemas in games (especially JRPGs) but MUA really did a great job. In fact, I think the MUA version of Doctor Doom may well be THE perfect Doctor Doom film representation. His voice was awesome. He looked great. He acted the way he should... It was Doom.
The opening cinema to the game was like watching the first issue of New Avengers animated perfectly. Brilliant stuff. Spidey, Cap, and Wolvie all sounded spot-on.
I really wish the guys doing the cinema animation for these MUA games would release a feature-length film version of some great Marvel storyline.
Until then, I'm really happy with Wolverine and the X-Men.

You guys do know that you can't (at least for the first play through) have a team with Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America, and some random 4 person? Each side (pro-reg. and anti-reg.) has two characters that cannot switch sides
Pro-Reg: Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic
Anti-Reg: Captain America and Wolverine
