Deadpool ps4 upgrade#
With the exception of the crashes mentioned in our review of the original release, it seems that nothing has been done to upgrade this version in any meaningful way. While this lackadaisical attitude towards the plot works for the tone and humor, it should not transfer over to the port work. Some may feel that Nolan North’s characterization tries too hard, but given the choice, too hard works better than not hard enough. The scene with Cable certainly holds true. So much so, that the expository cutscenes that take place are simply excuses for the hero to ham it up, not allowing the guest stars to say their piece.
His constant stream of one-liners and his inability to take any of the peril seriously not only captures the spirit of the character, but taps into some strange part of the action gamer’s id. Body parts will fly, heads will mist after a well placed shot and Deadpool just finds this all hilarious. This is a character that is known for a good old dose of the ultra-violence and High Moon captured the spirit well. Wade Wilson, known as Deadpool, presents the perfect character for an exercise in stab-and-shoot catharsis. There is fun to be had with the experience. Such is the case with Activision’s re-release of High Moon Studios’ Deadpool. Sometimes, though, publishers don’t put that much work in. While that was a disaster, at least they tried. There were some that had some issues, such as the crumbling of the ambitious multiplayer in The Master Chief Collection. The Nathan Drake Collection managed to be a high mark. Some are done better than others, of course. Typically, these bundle up everything that has been released for a set of games, do some touch up work, and release it to the masses.
To shore up their resources and get new fans introduced to long running franchises, the HD re-release has been doing pretty well. If the past couple of years has shown anything, it’s that making new games can get expensive.
