I thought everything was fine with Marathon
he's proud ripping off someone else's artstyle with google image search? nice "directing"
>marathon has taken 6 yearsYikes.
I hope he has other interests because that dude is 100% done in the gaming industry.
surely nobody saw this coming
>>728906586>6 years for thisthanks pete parsons
>>728906962Not a chance. The fucker had a big leading position, no amount of controversy will stop him from falling upward.
>>728906962He has worked on enough big games that he would have probably been fine but AI has replaced concept artists./spoiler]
>>728906962These shit devs never leave the gaming industry, they get traded around like playing cards. All of the Concord devs are still working, some of them on that new slop game that was revealed at the end of the Game Awards. And after that flops, they'll go waddle off somewhere else.
>>728906962Remember that guy Bethesda hired as a lead writer for TES6?The only things he had ever, ever worked on were the absolute worst Bioware games and then some shovelware. But he's in the industry for 25 years so he's a lead writer.
>>728907097>>728907253>>728907440>>728908625I work in the industry and I know several studios have immediately passed on him when he started putting out feelers. Maybe in a few years but right now that guy is radioactive.
>>728906586Sounds like he was forced out. Too bad the damage is already done. The artstyle will be the death of this game
>>728912038the art style isn't even in the top 20 reasons the game is bad
>>728912356It's definitely in the top 3. Clownpunk Roblox: Troon Edition is not a thing people want to look at
>>728912460you're wrong and that's okay, you haven't played the game and you're too stupid to realize your opinions don't come from a place of experience, but that's not your fault
>>728912519I don't need to play it to see it, genius. The artstyle is trash and everyone knows it.
>>728907253he was art director. that means he's in a project management position. there's no chance he was making art himself and it's stupid to think ai will replace him like concept artists who are basically the bottom barrel of the art hierarchy
shoving that guy out there to take the brunt of the controversy was so unimaginably cruel by bungie leadership. they could've just not sacrificed him to the masses and nothing would have changed, they still would've reached a settlement with the artist and figured things out
>>728906586>unemployment will make me god
usa can't make good games anymore
>>728912756if you don't think you need to play a game to have informed opinions on it you are a retard
>>728906586If I was forced onto a humiliation ritual stream I'd quit too
>>728913329My opinion of the artstyle is informed by looking at it, retard. Playing the game is irrelevant.
>>728913457your opinion on what are the worst parts of the game is irrelevant if you haven't experienced what else is bad about the game
I will never understand how companies like Sony and MS buy studios, throw hundreds of millions at them, and either make a flop or spend 8–10 years doing nothing and then get closed.
>>728913560If your artstyle is filtering a majority of customers before they even play it, it's a top 3 problem. Your other 2 are the high level design pitch and the price. Most people are going to pass it over before ever playing it.
>>728913747the art style isn't going to stop normal people from playing it because the average person isn't a terminally online /pol/ degen
>>728912974He's not gonna have sex with you.
>>728913564just removing the competitiona few hundred millions is chump change for them
>>728913870Marathon is widely mocked and ridiculed on the basis of its artstyle alone. The visuals will 100% turn audiences away.
>>728913560Because everyone gave Concord a chance, right?Retard
>>728914026you have no idea what you are talking about. 90% of Marathon posts outside of /v/ (aka the actual opinions of normal people) is something like "the game isn't fun because of X reason but at least the art style is cool" which was all the more funnier when the plagiarism came to light.
>>728913953you're weird
>>728909802what did you notice?
>>728906586when i was playing destiny 1 around its launch i assumed they had the straightest colorblind artists possible because the armor and color coordination were so ugly and mismatched. I didnt play Destiny 2, but from what i've seen they remain consistently ugly. And now to look at Marathon, which is even uglier than I could have possibly imagined, even after stealing better art from someone with talent... what the fuck is wrong with that whole company?
>>728913412context?
>>728912460>dude this artstyle is like trannies and stuffpost immediately ignored, why the fuck would i take your opinion seriously
>>728915539Found the troon
>>728914260Literally no one outside of bluesky has praised the art style
>>728915610explain to me why i should take your opinion seriously when you're not even smart enough to express your opinion without sounding like a retard
>>728914103>everyone>PS5 exclusive yes, LMAO
>>728915656does it trouble you that you are literally incapable of viewing things outside of the context of politics anymore?
>>728915687No one cares what you take seriously. The art style is objectively a failure, as is evident in the fact that the AD was ousted months before the game is sent to die.
>>728915863Does it trouble you that you will never be a woman?
>>728915890>>728915934Are the trannies in the room with us right now?
>>728915934No I'm a guy
>>728915694>PS5 exclusiveIt was also on PC. Unless you meant PS5 console excusive which is an even more fucking stupid statement.
>>728916257Why are you mad tho
