Geoff Keighley’s Summer season Recreation Fest showcase is about midway over, and the present hasn’t actually had the sauce thus far. I don’t imply when it comes to the video games it’s exhibiting, I’m speaking in regards to the precise showmanship. Keighley’s stage present has been fairly paint-by-numbers with out loads of good bits and showmanship. That modified when he learn a snarky letter from somebody who needed to indicate off a brand new recreation. As he recited the monologue, tough stick drawings appeared on the stage’s display screen, ultimately adorning the stage with Deadpool logos and crude drawings. The considered a brand new recreation starring the Merc with a Mouth received my consideration…till it was revealed to be a VR recreation.
Of us, I’m in Los Angeles proper now for the Summer season Recreation Fest occasion, and after spending a lot much less time in automobiles whereas dwelling in New York Metropolis, I’ve gained a newfound disdain for issues that give me movement illness. I can’t get wherever with out changing into nauseous within the backseat of an Uber. This has plagued me each time I’ve tried a VR recreation over the previous decade, and meaning these video games are a non-starter for me. So I assume y’all have enjoyable with Deadpool VR. Perhaps I’ll watch a Let’s Play.
One cool factor is that Deadpool is voiced by How I Met Your Mom star Neil Patrick Harris this time round. Which, I don’t know, that’s effective. However I’m stunned. Should you have been going to go the stunt casting route, why not simply pull Ryan Reynolds into the fold? Perhaps he was too costly.
Deadpool VR is coming to Meta Quest 3/3S later this yr and is an unique for the headset in the intervening time. I wouldn’t be stunned to see it come to PlayStation VR down the road, although.
