Interview: Firaxis' SolomonJake explains how Deadpool breaks Marvel's midnightsuns' fourth wall. 'We were always pushing our legal team, or rating team, with Deadpool, which kept the writer’s busy. It was a lot of fun.'
Now that we’re a few months post-release, what’s the feeling within Firaxis about how the game turned out, and how it was received by players and critics?
We knew for a long time that we were having a lot of fun playing and writing the story, and so it’s just really, really nice that the team puts in so much work, and you get so personally invested in it when it comes out. So for a while, Deadpool was planned for the base game. We never did any work on it, but we choose him because we wanted the game to have a Saturday morning cartoon vibe. The characters themselves are very earnest about what they’re doing, right? It’s not a joke to them, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t put in jokes, we can’t put in larger jokes, or characters can’t make funny jokes
“For a while, Deadpool was planned for the base game. We never did any work on it, but we choose him because we wanted the game to have a Saturday morning cartoon vibe” Marvel always got it, because that’s Deadpool, that’s him. The other thing is he’s an uber-violent character, almost a parody of violence, which was hard to factor into the game. But we were always pushing our legal team, or rating team, with Deadpool, which kept the writer’s busy. It was a lot of fun.
Another issue is that Deadpool doesn’t have nearly as much visual variety as other characters, so there are only a certain amount of looks we could take and make our own.
