As you may have read from our preview, I had the opportunity to check out X-Men Origins: Wolverine last week, and also got chatting to Raven Software project lead Dan Vondrak. We had an interesting chat about how the game got started (Raven were already working on a Wolverine game before tying it into the movie) and how they wanted to make the most true-to-character title possible. Our most interesting discussion topic, however, was the game's undeniable brutality.
"We're actually pretty worried about the violence in the game," he explains. "People might play our game and think, 'Oh cool, we're gonna get an R-rated Wolverine movie,' but the movie has none of the brutality we have ... we basically told Fox that the violence stays, and Fox was cool with that."
The game is certainly gory, with throat-to-testicle, claw-rending, Kurt Cobain-flavored shotgun executions, and a ridiculous amount of dismemberment. Realistic, yes, but certainly not true to the film. Be warned that if you want to see Hugh Jackman spill blood and rip off heads the way he should, then the videogame is the only place it'll happen.

That's like making a Batman game, where you have to kill all the bad guys in a room before moving on to the next level.
Why do you need logic when you have intestines of your enemies worn as neclackes ?
Thanks for the confirmation on the violence Mr. Sterling. I doubt many people care as much as I do, but I have a strict "no blood, no buy" policy in my action games and movies. I appreciate news on this topic.
Or ehm... not FUCKING UP DEADPOOL by giving him all kinds of mutant powers? Skip the movie if you value your lives and like Wolverine or Marvel, please.
And we had better get to see some wicked Bone Claw action or I'm gonna be pissed. There was bone claw in the movie
also cocks << (just like that):P
I'm excited for the movie, too. Even though Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool... Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber are great actors. Decent director, too.
