Bungie Responds to Unauthorized Use of Art in Marathon

Bungie: "We immediately investigated a concern regarding unauthorized use of artist decals in Marathon and confirmed that a former Bungie artist included these in a texture sheet that was ultimately used in-game.

This issue was unknown by our existing art team, and we are still reviewing how this oversight occurred.

We take matters like this very seriously. We have reached out to @4nt1r34l to discuss this issue and are committed to do right by the artist."

"However, one thing Marathon’s been almost universally praised for is its art style."

Eh, I've heard a lot of dislike for the bleak art style. "Universally praised" would mean that hardly anyone dislikes it. This is a pretty dishonest article. I'm personally not a big fan of it either.

I don't mind the art style so to speak but watching footage, the world looked really bland and lacked detail, reminded me of a mid budget VR game.

Pyrofire9511d ago

They said it was universal so you might just unaware just how much you do in fact praise its art style.

Notellin11d ago

I have a hard time finding anyone who is praising the art style. All I see are complaints.

S2Killinit11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Probably because the boo boys are more vocal. I mean most of us haven’t really played it and its still in development, so how can we praise it? Meanwhile the boo boys don’t need objectivity to criticize a game that has not launched yet.

The art style, I personally like it. But I also need at least a good lore to get into games as I am usually not a multiplayer only kind of gamer.

FinalFantasyFanatic11d ago

I have never seen anyone praise Marathon for its art style, in fact, I think it's one of the things that is universally hated about this game.

Juiceup11d ago

Since the early days of destiny, Bungie has cemented itself as the undisputed King of being dishonest while technically not lying. They simply don't hype things up or make statements without some kind of bs. Their dishonest marketing speak bs has become their entire brand for me.

You have to look at politics to find worse.

What's shocking is the amount that they've copied, thieving ghouls.

franwex12d ago

At least they’re trying to do right and admitted quickly that it was stolen. I give credit when credit is due.

I also dig the new art style, I know most people are mixed.

"I give credit when credit is due."

No you don't and this is an absolute lie. You aren't giving credit to the artist they stole from you're giving credit to the thief. You're a disgusting liar if anything.

Game DOA, this is the closest they will get to mass promotion

FinalFantasyFanatic11d ago

I knew it was DOA from the trailer, yeah, there's no recovering from this, it's Concord 2.0. I dread to see how many more of these Playstation had in production before they changed direction and cancelled the ones that were in the early stages.

Looks good, cant wait. Not sure why its getting so much hate.

Deeeeznuuuts56m ago

Looks okay, I'm hoping that the footage they've shown doesn't do it justice, very poor trailers in my opinion, I'll have to wait and see.

The creation suite looks pretty good though,do like a good editor in a game, the editors in Far Cry 2, 3, 4 and 5, Doom (2016), Infamous 2 etc. spend so many hours in them.

Do wish RPG Maker would actually make a completely new entry instead of the same game, rehashed, saying that, I do enjoy that too 😅

Looks good, but I am not sold yet.

S*** for those affected.

But 'Marvel' aint the easy win it was a few years ago, far from it. 2 years on with nothing but a 9 second logo teaser. I'm honestly not surprised.

DivineHand1252h ago(Edited 2h ago)

The industry is extremely volatile these days with layoffs happening every other day.

Fishy Fingers2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

That's a different game from a different studio. That's why its got a different name...

Oh the massive comment edit :(

DivineHand1252h ago

I realized after doing more research. Not even EA would be that crazy. Didn't realize anyone was replying.

Lightning772h ago

More big publishers cutting jobs BS. No more Black Panther I bet Ironman is next. All before SGF next week they better not show their faces. They're already the most hated publisher.

Just sell your IP and secure jobs for the rest of the devs within EA to other game companies. Also sell the rest of your assets and shut down. They can barely do anything right anymore.

Christopher2h ago

Another high profile IP that likely got ruined by too much management and not enough focus on just giving gamers what they want.

Profchaos57m ago

It could also be they realised public interest in Marvel properties has hit low. Compared to when they started development.

Prolonged Dev times meant to craze died before the game had a chance

The cost of licensing included in development costs which was clearly still years out meant that turning a profit was never going to happen.

Relientk771h ago

EA continually proving how awful they are.

CDPR please! Make a free Switch 2 upgrade of Witcher 3 or even with a small fee of $2.49 (like Fantasy Life did).
