Whaa?

[misty ingot]

Arc Raiders vs Art Raiders

[frank plinth]

I guess what I'm asking is, is this game DOA? It has to literally be reworked from the ground up now that the artists are sueing right?

[elder wharf]

first time was worse, they had gore as well and it took mods ages to stop them

[ember warren]

i got a good set of lips and a nice tounge dw

[magic rose]

The handiwork of a few plagiarists are going to cost so many more employees who weren’t responsible to get laid off

[raw holly]

some crazy shit was also posted in arc raiders discord but they didnt gaf

[mellow fjord]

No homo?

[misty ingot]

So in the lore the runners need to go to the planet to salvage other peoples art assets right?

[ember warren]

no full homo im gay asl

[raw holly]

They’re going to foreign planets in the twitter galaxy to steal valuable artwork

[frank plinth]

Bruh that's basically what I'm saying. Bungie literally stole the whole style of this game from artists who they didn't hire

[elder wharf]

they need to just make it so you need to be in the server for a week before u get image perms or a certain amount of messages, or even both

[mellow fjord]

Give it your best ig 💀

I just have the feeling we're not going to see the Beta for this game lol

If this was the 90’s we would be shoving them into lockers and dunking their heads in toilets lol

[frank plinth]

Is it true that bungie deleted that content because they were being sued for it, and because they deleted it, nobody can see the source files from the assets they stole?

Titanfall 3 was never going to exist
that thing they cancelled was actually Apex Extraction

[mellow fjord]

Yo? That actually happened?

[hard arch]

im a pacifist but i think i could take skarrow in a fight. id probably sweep his weak ankles first and then put him in an armbar.

[tawdry olive]

i wonder what power source is used to power the shells

[misty ingot]

who

[hard arch]

idk

[frank plinth]

They're still making TF3, they only cancelled the Apex Tarkov clone

Speculations, but it might actually be happening since it was found in a data mining from a deadlock update and that's how we found deadlock in the first place when it was code name citdeal and now hlx which is probably half life 3

TITANFALL 3 IS REAL, STOP TRYING TO CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

we seriously entertained a faction called cyberacme. this shit straight looney toons

i been muted too

[undone delta]

That wasn’t trucking nice

[tawdry olive]

there is a tattletale in our midst

[mellow fjord]

Even when they missed with artifact, it was because the game was too hard and people who played card games said that artifact is the deepest most complex and fun they had in a card game

[hard arch]

against all odds bungie will skirt by to bother you deeply another day

[reef summit]

managed to get an eyelash out of my eye thats been evading me for a couple days, im free

[hard arch]

did you make a wish

[untold isle]

1984

[still oasis]

idk if i think a tf extraction shooter was a great idea or a very very bad idea

[fleet thicket]

I love how not even the bungie fanboys are defending this heaping pile anymore

[still oasis]

but either way it's over now

[frank plinth]

Titanfall 3 would've been the best idea. Best Campaign and Multiplayer on current gen consoles

[untold isle]

theres like one person left that dick rides them

[fleet thicket]

Love titanfall but the titans would ruin it

[still oasis]

yah i agree, but it doesn't sound like that's what they were making

[kindred vigil]

Why is Rockstar texting me about grand theft auto VI online stress test, ugh so obsessed with me
🙄🙄🙄🙄

[raw holly]

There were 30 furries going ape shit on me in here earlier

[untold isle]

you dont want titanfall you just want fall

[still oasis]

what good is wallrunning if you can't wallrun up to a titan cockpit

[raw holly]

Lmfao

[ember warren]

what did you do

[fleet thicket]

Extraction shooters are also supposed to be slow and methodical. Titanfall is way too fast paced.

[final peak]

Nah, EA would have stuffed it with modern live service crap.

[ember warren]

probably just like the titanfall universe like your a pmc scrounging for gear

[raw holly]

I think I mentioned someones pronouns after saying the game is shit and all hell broke loose

[fleet thicket]

Guess that could work but thatd be like playing a grunt in a star wars game. The universe just has so much more to offer.

[final peak]

Honestly I could see a Mirror's Edge extraction game working theoretically. Low combat, more emphasis on racing other players to high value locations and using clever movement to avoid detection and draw security forces to your enemies.

[primal flicker]

Mirrors edge was ahead of its time

[ember warren]

that was reasonable going after pronouns are so cringe bro

[fleet thicket]

Youd have to raise the ttk like crazy.

[bleak garnet]

Guys guys what's the lore behind Aleph, do they do deep-space haulage?

[glad sparrow]

i dont know why bungie doesnt make a planetside 2 competitor

[still oasis]

also marathon stole its art style

[fringe ether]

ah yes

[amber relic]

Balatro extraction game

[kindred vigil]

omg

[fringe ether]

Might stolen 2009's roblox art style too

[primal flicker]

mirrors edge is way more minimalist than marathon

[ember warren]

we dont care

[glad sparrow]

Lets be fair planetside 2 is still going strong after like 14 years and its the only game of its kinds since MAG on ps3

[kindred vigil]

sorry

[raw holly]

Nah not really

[final peak]

Gods forbid we go 5 minutes without someone like you bringing up the same shit as if anyone actually cares. Get a job. Take a shower.

[still oasis]

sorry for the joke brother

[hard arch]

mods are asleep oil that shit down and thug twerk

[final peak]

No you're not.

[frank plinth]

Can we become a Mirror's Edge discord? I still can't get over the potential of that series

[kindred vigil]

Hop on prey remake online mode

[raw holly]

So in the lore the runners need to go to the planet to salvage other peoples art assets right?

[mellow fjord]

Minecraft extraction shooter is gonna be the real shit, screw Titanfall mirror's edge

[glad sparrow]

extraction shooters need to go away

[stray cairn]

Where cannot with the new bots in this server? Please ping me

[kindred vigil]

There's only been 10 of them made bro

[glad sparrow]

we need more MMO FPS games

[ember warren]

what about lost planet tha shit was peak

[primal flicker]

That's kind of like the inverse of star citizen

star citizen: been in development for ~13 ish years. Raised nearly a billion dollars, still unfinished trash
planetside 2: been out for ~13ish years, was always a solid game

[kindred vigil]

peak mention

[still oasis]

i'd honestly play a plants vs zombies extraction shooter. i'd only play it for a week but i'd pay full price

[fringe ether]

how many are there even

[final peak]

EA evidently can. I want a third game so bad.

A third Titanfall, Mirror's Edge, and NiGHTS Into Dreams game would finally fix me.

[ember warren]

neeyth i needa stop hating how you always on point with yo takes you my twinnem fr

[fringe ether]

I literally can't name other than Destiny but even then destiny is more like a mmo-lite

[hard arch]

1 too many

[glad sparrow]

yea i hope star citizen actually happens tbh

[kindred vigil]

That shit is NOT happening

[ember warren]

saerch it up normie ugh

[glad sparrow]

i was a big fan of wing commander games as a kid

[clever bluff]

$800 million later you'd figure it would've happenend already

[glad sparrow]

hell wing commander 3 taught me how to MS DOS

[ember warren]

what if i KILLED you then wat huh /j

[frank plinth]

The first Mirror's Edge, as goofy as the Erin Esurance cutscenes were, was a VIBE

[dusk cloud]

cant believe marathon stole the shooting from cod

[ember warren]

hmph, weakling

[clever bluff]

If squadron 42 ACTUALLY comes out ill have some hope

[final peak]

Honestly I loved the cutscenes. They were janky and low budget but that was part of the charm. The flat style made the movement that did get shown feel more... Eventful, I guess.

[magic rose]

wont

[still oasis]

is stellaris any good? i been wanting to buy it once it's on sale, but the new expansion that came out with the sale gets bad reviews

[mellow fjord]

I can't believe cod stole the fps mechanics from the first doom game

[fleet thicket]

It will but prob not for a few years

[rocky saffron]

i think some devs from mirrors edge are at embark making the finals and arc

[amber relic]

Also need a dark souls extraction game then

[frank plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/faith-faith-connors-mirrors-edge-running-flash-gif-6319587616831825814

[fringe ether]

breaking news

[fleet thicket]

Arc was so damn good man. I miss that beta so much

[primal flicker]

It's happening right now, this is it. Their business model is developing a game in perpetuity rather than finishing and releasing a game. They will keep raking in money until it finally goes t­it­s up (when not if) for whatever reason and the higher ups will walk away rich (they have already made life changing amounts of money)

[dusk cloud]

cant believe doom stole the need to use electricity from thomas edison

[frank plinth]

I still want Cooper and BT to have a love story in Titanfall 3, they were obviously in love

[final peak]

Dark Souls always was one. I invade you and extract your humanity.

[mellow fjord]

Embark are all ex Dice, you can see that Arc raider is like star wars battlefront 2

[mellow fjord]

Isn't the new game from fromsoft that's coming on the switch 2 is exactly that?

[fleet thicket]

The only minimalist extraction game I need is deep rock rogue core

[ocean crypt]

Nice one

Shrug, I’m not really in the loop for switch

[fringe ether]

I do own it actually

[glad sparrow]

puzzles games are for kids

fuck portal

[mellow fjord]

Not portal bro

healthy mind is playing a open world shooter like planetside and learning how to flank and surgically kill a squad of people

[kindred vigil]

PlanetSide players when you don't have to take 10 minutes to walk to a fight

[stray cairn]

Ah so there’s jsut no way to play the game currently

[glad sparrow]

i bet you a bitcoin you get in on planetside and you get wrecked and quit in 20 minutes

[still oasis]

you can scroll artstation to get a feel for what it's like

[rotund marten]

Who is Joseph Cross?

[stray cairn]

Ok I’ll wait a few mo the before thinking about this again

[kindred vigil]

Remake it yourself

[kindred vigil]

Get...wrecked...?...👅👅❓

[fringe ether]

the massive art asset of having loss in a random ass corner in the map

[smoky rose]

[stray cairn]

Yeah I saw that sucks for the artist but they’ll hopefully be compensated sooner than later

[rancid pebble]

sorry i dont speak australian

[river nymph]

Oh hey I know you

[raw holly]

looks like they based the entire game's design around antireals art not just a few things in game

[fringe ether]

I think that's stretching tbh

no I'm being hyperbolic

[river nymph]

Did you use a 30° cut?

[lapis granite]

hello

[kindred vigil]

bye

[mellow fjord]

Bey

[high lark]

damn i miss art raiders

[kindred vigil]

that's so mean

how dare you

[kindred vigil]

solve our 7 riddles to enter

[river nymph]

Man I’d love to handle a miter saw right about now

[stray cairn]

Alright ima wait tell the release of the game see you all tell then

[raw holly]

maybe not the game design that was poor word choice, but like all of the fuckin art in the game looks loosely based around the shit im seein on antireal tumblr

[lapis granite]

You literally play Marathon be quiet lmaoooooo

[amber relic]

Is it stuck in a small tube?

[river nymph]

Make a nice 45° joint cut

[lapis granite]

hey don't dish it if you can't take it

[regal scroll]

MARATHON IS FINISHED, DELETE THE GAME FILES AND CLEAN HOUSE

[uncut tundra]

Marathon has fallen, thousands must seethe

[kindred vigil]

can I play fnaf 4 IRL in ur closet @lapis granite

[frank plinth]

FNAF mod in Marathon when?

[raw holly]

lmaooo

[uncut tundra]

Can't wait for the plagiarism ability

[fringe ether]

I won't say there isn't any influence but with an art style like this you will find a lot of things that look similar between a variety of artists. I think the environmental art design is distinct enough to be its own thing, but like I get it.

[craggy olive]

Copy your opponent's ability. Take all credits

[cyan hawk]

Yo so like @rigid iris how do I send a photo I have a funny meme to relate with the community

[fringe ether]

I think bo3 literally had a character with this

lol

[frank plinth]

Guys, Bungie literally STOLE from AntiReal and likely other artists to make the art style of this game. Don't pretend like Bungie is innocent.

[cyan hawk]

I paid for nitro for big images and I can t use big images seems pretty sketchy

[lapis granite]

Only if you come out and be with me

[kindred vigil]

ok but only till 6am

[white jetty]

Given Bungie's actions, can I presume that AI art is acceptable?

Are we seeing the fall of Bungie? Big if true.

[primal flicker]

Yep.

[white jetty]

Here's the thing though, if Bungie hadn't left the RAW UNEDITED decals and art in that folder in 2020, at this point they'd probably have a product dissimilar enough to Antireal's art that it'd be perfectly acceptable.

[frank plinth]

Can we get an AI Tucker Carlson speaking on the Fall of Bungie?

[primal flicker]

Well yes and no. Bungie fell from their glory a loooong time ago. But this is probably the chapter that ends with Sony folding bungie. Whatever you want to call that

[white jetty]

But they didn't evolve the style since 2020 based on their excuse

[cyan hawk]

The name of Bungie will live on if they’re lucky, their leadership won’t

[frank plinth]

But even by today's releases, the art is so similar you can't say they didn't just keep stealing.

Their reveal trailer had Heavy Metal by Justice as the music

[astral rain]

ai voice in marathon would be obsessed with mpreg and Id support it for it

[karmic sonnet]

The thing about all these extraction shooter titles that have come out recently, is they want a slice of the pie that Tarkov has created, but dont actually have any of the elements that make Tarkov such a unique experience

[still oasis]

they should just stream the official marathon discord into the game via tts

[fringe ether]

[primal juniper]

They should grind the weekly campaign mission to raise it

[frank plinth]

How do you guys feel about the Rooster Teeth and FunHaus controversies involving Ryan Heyward and Adam Kovic respectively?

[wet herald]

I tempered my expectations when I realized the guy taking charge gave us a Overwatch CSGO mash up game. This game can be its own thing and not borrow so much from other games. The hero shooter angle is so played out and boring. In a world as stylish as Tau Ceti, we are forced to play as these fixed heroes when it could've been boiled down to classes with high customization.

[sturdy glen]

I wonder how much grinding I’ll have to do to unlock stolen art for my character

[surreal shuttle]

I mean, realistically I think that extraction shooter structure tends to get a lot of the appeal of traditional multiplayer shooters into a many-v-many format like battle royales have... also they're basically like destiny, but with more PvP... which is obviously what bungie's current staff knows how to make

[still oasis]

mtx i fear

[ashen slate]

the loss decal should cost 10 dollars

[primal juniper]

"Not borrow" yeah bro we are str8 up STEALING out here

[astral rain]

Id give em like a year before they reworked the class system to be more flexible tbh

[primal flicker]

Oh yeah, thats part of the reason morale is so low. They all know that they haven't even scratched the surface on all of the "micro" transactions that they will have in game.

[still oasis]

it's a reasonable fear given how d2 has been going

[sturdy glen]

So they’re gonna ask me to pay THEM for art they stole

[wet herald]

40$ video game, I expect the game to push MTX heavy and not offer players ways to customize their characters via a grind. Lets be real, they dont wanna move away from heroes because its alot easier to just have their MTX team deliver 20-25$ premium skins for characters I dont give a shit about!

[astral rain]

my honest hot take. i enjoyed Destiny more in D1 when there were Content droughts. i just cannot stand every 3 weeks having to grind for gun you already have with "new Perks"

[primal flicker]

I don't even play multiplayer games anymore. too busy with other stuff. But I've seen the backends of SBMM systems for popular games that people have heard of, that shit is as close to rigged as it can get without the game just declaring that a certain team won regardless of the score.

[copper jackal]

Dead game, you guys suck 🤡

@copper jackal eyyyyy be nice!! they just dont know it yet

[wet herald]

I wouldn't say theyre rigged, as a very competitive player, I want to play against people who are just as good if not better than me. If im already playing, im invested, I want to compete and get better. I dont have a problem with SBMM, at the end of the day its a business, player retention is a real thing that the studio and investors have in their best interests.

sharing an opinion vs waiting for someone to tell you what you think are two different things

[surreal shuttle]

"Marty was bungie's soul"
Martin O'Donnel:
"Hey guys, what if we just randomly killed some characters in Halo 3. I'm not even a writer, but like, I think we should kill some people for no reason".

Well new bungie made Salvation's edge, and I love edge Salvation

[pulsar sparrow]

But didn’t they leave after to make bungie

[fringe ether]

Frieren my boy, you are better off waiting for season 2 then trying to convince Pete Parsons' 10th car

[astral rain]

the old bungie are in management and executive positions actively letting their games go to shit dog

[surreal shuttle]

Also idk, marty is just like... Generally overhyped. I like a good game composer well enough, but when a guy thinks he should run for president off of the minor internet fame he got for doing sound design in a 20 year old video game, there's something dumb happening.

[still oasis]

yfw you promote good people to exec management because it's their turn

[astral rain]

marty was allowed to stay in the company by the negligence of old bungie bro

[ashen slate]

I want some new sound in bungie, martin had started phoning in it

[wet herald]

I just wish the studio stuck to its guns when the game had a clearer vision in 2023, now we are in this weird place where a product is being rushed and theres no real "meat" to this game. Im all for the gameplay loop but looking at everything so far it seems like we are just going to PVP all season for a battle pass, wipe the game, repeat.

[frank plinth]

Marty literally defined the sound of Halo...literally the most iconic thing about Bungie behind Chief's armor.

[fluid violet]

i hear you and agree... but worth noting marty was the lead creative director for years. he was in charge of much more than just sound design

[pulsar sparrow]

Okay it was halo reach

[astral rain]

okay? its been over 10 years man I dont care if he paid me 5 million right now

[fringe ether]

Sure but the last guy who had a vision for Marathon was a sexual harasser so yeah

[rocky gazelle]

spittin

tbh I havent even watched the first half of the show yet. I like it so far though and I just found the picture amusing

"friern"

[frank plinth]

Again, I think Marty's politics are lame, but he's literally a pioneer for the industry. He belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of gaming Hall of Fame

[wet herald]

I get it, but that doesn't mean ditch the original vision and turn this into a hero shooter. We were sold on the idea of creating our own Runners and not whatever the hell this is.

[frank plinth]

Who are they referring to?

[fringe ether]

honest to god it would devolve into D2 PVP

[astral rain]

he also sexually harassed workers and had a hissy fit when he didnt get his way all the time 💔

Im sorry goat but michael salvatori dogwalks him

[frank plinth]

Can't do customization without intense monetization...so might as well go the Halo Infinite route with multiple different colors and patterns for sale

[wet herald]

Chris Barrett I believe.

[cursive needle]

paul tassi also wrote an article about ex-devs warning management 5+ years ago that marathon needed a pve to bridge the destiny players over and they ignored it xD

[twin pulsar]

Why does his politics matter when talking about Bungie

[wet herald]

I would be fine with monetization if it let me make my own goddamn character. People are complaining about "balancing" when you make your own character. You can keep the goddamn classes, just let me customize.

[astral rain]

because it bleeds into how he acts and the culture of the studio

a culture which actively makes it harder for the actual developers, not the management or legacy staff, to do their jobs

[twin pulsar]

So only the correct opinions are allowed? I do not think that is a healthy environment.

[cyan plover]

is there an 11th car

[rocky gazelle]

I have (a bit less now) hope for it.

The game has a pretty good structure, based off the Alpha. A lot of things that needed to be worked on that could be done if they really cracked down on it.

Its just that the game and Bungie itself has garnered SO much bad press now that even if it does do good, this will always be a stain on its record.

[astral rain]

?????????? bro the wrongthink in question is being against a majority of the dev teams existence and being allowed to harass another majority openly

[wet herald]

There are a bunch of people over at Bungie and probably still work there, that think this game needed a strong PVE component. As a hardcore PVP player, I dont disagree, this game needs more than just the regular loop. Most mainstage video games nowadays offer a campaign, MP and a tertiary gamemode

[cyan plover]

thats oomf

doing a vertical slice 4 months before launch and coming away with 'a lot of things that need to be done' is a disaster

Way way overblown in terms of his importance to halo and the amount of time people spend talking to/about him with regards to the series in comparison to other people that worked on the games.

I play a bit of everything, except hero shooters. Theres no doubt that they are looking at models like Fortnite/COD and the Battlefield in development to see how they can keep the playerbase engaged, especially if their only offering is PVP mode.

[primal flicker]

just did Jamie Griesemer

[wise spoke]

I think I watched that. @primal flicker

[tribal drift]

Not always, but due to how games work one of them usually gets more attention in the end. Like, Titanfall 2 had a great campaign and multi-player, but you can only play a linear campaign so much before getting bored if you don't focus on things like speedrunning

[rocky gazelle]

all these play on words are already starting to get old

[magic rose]

I dont get why they keep trying to copy others instead of making their own thing
this is why people call it "soulless"

[frank plinth]

Almost like all of old Bungie knew what Marty was cookin

making your own thing in 2025 pretty hard and risky for big parsons car collection

I have terrible news for you about bungie's pre-halo shooter games...

[astral rain]

it would also require letting the 500 devs they pay DO SOMETHING FOR ONCE

[tall wigeon]

Honest question. Did not a single guy in the art team saw this and say. Guys maybe we should not copy this and call it our own. The whole marketing hype was the art style.

[still oasis]

If the developers didn't do things there would be no game, they just end up limited in what they can do by the execs.

ARC > MARATHONG

[sturdy glen]

Just watched the BYF video on the plagiarism. Now I’m curious to hear from the community. Do any of yall plan on buying this game? Is the community divided? Do we plan on concording this game?

[surreal shuttle]

I know, I just like... It's not like making "derivative" games is new for Bungie, or especially for Marathon specifically, and it worked well, and still produced original and interesting games back then.

[cyan plover]

this is somehow dirtyeffinhippys fault

[astral rain]

yeah I know its hard to not taking everything literally buddy, but you'll get through it ❤️

[magic rose]

I didnt like the art style at all and somehow it was still the best thing about the game

He just apologising on behalf of Bungie.

bungie management and executives actively stifle and ignore their teams so I doubt we'd get anything worth anything till their heads are on sticks

[magic rose]

ive said this before but Cross' old art that people point to show how the art style was not stolen, looks a lot more like the first teaser from year ago and the short film, than it does the actual ingame gameplay stuff

[tall wigeon]

Bungie defiantly has lot of management problem. I work in corporate and you can definitely see all the teams are not communicating with each other and having honest feedback amongst themselves

[wet herald]

And Ubisoft cancelled one of their most talented studio's extraction shooter, absolute pain...

[fringe ether]

Good news, Ubisoft is now making another BR

[frank plinth]

xDefiant?

[wet herald]

hell nah that game is hot garbage. I was reffering to Division Heartlands

[surreal shuttle]

Okay quick question, in what way can someone even "steal" an art style... Like that is a very nebulous thing to claim someone can have exclusive ownership of

[sturdy glen]

Another BR? From ubistank? We are doomed

[astral rain]

every release theres articles upon articles of team members inside bungie screaming "management wont listen to us" "we said this shit would flop a year ago"

[astral rain]

in the way that they scraped someones artstation account for ALL OF THEIR ART

[meager leaf]

The Reddit

[tall wigeon]

That’s not the matter of content. These guys have followed the said artist for almost a decade. If you look at the original marthon trailer the game kinda looked much different than the art style they adopted eventually. The details are very different. I don’t know why they didn’t stick with that. Cross’s artstyle complement it more than the current copy pasta

[twin pulsar]

I doubt this title will concord at all. People already like the gameloop

[fringe ether]

then I guess I'm not getting my 40 back then

[lunar lion]

You can't really steal an art style, but that's not what they did. They stole original work, and then based an artstyle around it.

[astral rain]

this is tongue in cheek but I cant imagine blaming people whos job is to just do what the management says

[lunar lion]

Ergo the work is then poisoned

[still oasis]

honestly not tongue in cheek i'm bein real

[wet herald]

I'll have to wait and see gameplay, I wont write it off completely, but xdefiant was incredibly generic and boring. So many people were glazing that game and I played Alpha, so so bad. I had gunplay mechanics that were better in BFBC2 back in the day. Embarassing

[magic rose]

yeah what I mean
the teaser looked striking, the alpha looked muddy and murky

[still oasis]

it's not a blame thing

[frank plinth]

Post ergo procter hoc

[surreal shuttle]

Release after release? Am I wrong in my assessment that Bungie has made... Two games, in the last decade?

[astral rain]

with 40 dlc

which each constitutes a release

[frank plinth]

And a STAR WARS themed dlc

[primal flicker]

I thought this was an onion article when I first saw it

[surreal shuttle]

So like, there is actually directly duplicated original work in the game as Bungie intends to release it?

[primal flicker]

If they didn't get caught there would have been.

[tall wigeon]

Which is why I can’t comprehend this colossal f up. You had a distinct art style and lot of people actually liked that version of marathon. U had the whole trials of nine vibe to it.

[primal flicker]

and yeah it shipped in the alpha

[lunar lion]

Yes, and that's what the uproar is about, alongside the negligence and unprofessionalism that is required for that to happen at a large company

[surreal shuttle]

Okay

[fringe ether]

updog

[still oasis]

to be fair that's not something that's hard to happen at a large company, they don't get smarter as they get bigger

[primal flicker]

whats updog

[twin pulsar]

Humans are imperfect

[tribal drift]

One thing that will forever plague this game is the simple question of "How much did they have to scrub?"

Because now comes the question of how many decals and things were ever theirs and how much was ripped off

[meager leaf]

Nothing much what’s up wit you?

[fringe ether]

New Marathon Class: The cleaner

Gotta scrub the textures off the walls

[umbral fog]

Hello, can I access the alpha test of the game?

[still oasis]

literally cleaning the graffiti off the walls

[fringe ether]

in like august

[tribal drift]

Yes, send me your DAC

[umbral fog]

How do I get access?

[wet herald]

They could just do the right thing, compensate the original artist and offer a consulting or contracted role. I bet this artist could crank out some decals and keep the ball rolling.

[astral rain]

anyone here wanna get big and round

[surreal shuttle]

So like, after they solve the problem, and probably face some kind of lawsuit from the artist... What exactly would the problem be?

Like, "this game uses assets they didn't get the rights to' seems like a reasonable critique, but it it doesn't do that then like... What is the attack, "this game looks like this guy's art"?

[still oasis]

i'm inflating as we speak

[fringe ether]

I'm not sure if antireal will actually go ahead and sue, but depends on the offer bungie gives her I guess

[astral rain]

artist has said they cant pursue legal action financially

[surreal shuttle]

Like, obviously stealing assets is bullshit, and should never have happened, and needs to be fixed, but like. Once they're not doing that, what is the problem?

[astral rain]

shoves a hose in your mouth and starts pumping

[surreal shuttle]

Oh that's horribly disappointing.

[umbral fog]

what is that? DAC

[still oasis]

if you have a case you can generally hire a lawyer on contingency; that said if your case sucks no lawyer will take you

[tall wigeon]

They should just scrub the idea of pvp and make it a pve game live service. I think most people will love it, the extraction shooter crowd is a small niche. You’ve this whole player base in destiny that could’ve easily compensated for the numbers that require to keep the game successful. Moronic management decisions.

[frank plinth]

they would need to change the entire games art style

[fluid violet]

i am more than sure after she started gaining more attention tons of lawyers came out of the woodworks begging to do pro-bono work. this kinda case would be a wet dream for most in that field

[primal flicker]

A lawsuit is unlikely. The artist said they don't want to / can't sue. After they fix their fuck up, the real problem is just the fact that everyone knows that this is a pattern with bungie, this is the 4th time in 5 years that they have been busted for this.

[still oasis]

so it's probably a little bit of a cope

[lunar lion]

The larger a company or a group or a management structure is, the more inflexible it is; the less it can respond to crises, and the more human failure points it has. It really does just take one lazy bastard who wants to rip work instead of making it themselves or who turns a blind eye to it happening, for everybody in that department both below and above the incident to assume they are not at fault and things are working as intended. It's systemic issues that leads to theft like this happening.

[magic rose]

maybe try to approach how it looked like earlier

[strange nova]

Is it just me, or does anyone else want this game to succeed big time but only sees bad stuff about it everywhere?

[magic rose]

you go back and watch the teaser and the vibe is totally different

[astral rain]

who would've guessed that an artist whos struggling because people keep stealing her work cant actively fight against her work being stolen !!

[tribal drift]

Would you really want to work for a company that's reported to have:

Terrible work culture and communication
A history of stealing artwork (including yours)
An honestly pretty aggressive community
Possibly no future due to mismanagement

[surreal shuttle]

Why? Are you claiming every piece of art in the game was directly copied from an artist they didn't buy rights from?

[astral rain]

yeah but will the lawyer be good?

[frank plinth]

It still matches antireal 1 for 1

[fringe ether]

Honestly at least some people care about it I guess, which is more than I can say about concord

[tall wigeon]

Just look at clair obscure expedition 33. Just a core team of 30 and 20 odd our sourced team can do. Game of the year for me.

[umbral fog]

Hello, guys, can you tell me how to access the alpha testing of the game?

[still oasis]

depends but generally yeah good lawyers do contingency

[primal flicker]

The alpha is over. it cannot be accessed.

[astral rain]

damn lawyers kinda goated fr

slaps your giant distended belly

[tribal drift]

Please stop

[fluid violet]

most lawyers wouldnt even offer "free" representation unless they KNOW they can win

[still oasis]

put that belly away

[primal flicker]

They don't need to change the art style itself, antireal didn't invent that art style. But that doesn't mean they are any less cooked. The stench of theft will follow this game for the entirety of it's probably short life.

[wet herald]

With a contracted role, sure. It would probably be that artists biggest paycheck, and could lead to other big projects in the future. Not necessarily another Bungie project.

[umbral fog]

So I don't have any chance to play?

[primal flicker]

Not at this time.

[muted forum]

does anyone have a folder with screenshots of all the item descriptions or know where i could find them? (making a video)

[tribal drift]

Eh, I suppose. There's a level of personal pride though, at least for me

[umbral fog]

I'm bad at this

I totally understand that, you aint wrong.

[fluid violet]

just check out the Marathon Trailers. the stolen assets are still up in the trailers on bungies own twitter and youtube

[muted forum]

you guys are morons btw

[tall wigeon]

Bro. Don’t you see the colour palate, the graphic design, assets just literally stolen? Art style is when you take inspiration and make something new and distinct. This is blatant copying

[muted forum]

im asking for the item descriptions and u morons are still on the art shit grow up

[frank plinth]

Found the bungie alt account

[wet herald]

No, but if they did, I would try to look at avenues that would benefit me the most. Antireal is clearly very talented and has had art stolen that in some ways contributed to this games entire aesthetic. She's very valuable and could contribute alot.

[brittle saddle]

Nuh uh

[still oasis]

is it controversial to think that bungie shouldn't have stolen antireal's art but antireal's art sucks

[primal flicker]

Yes I saw the assets that were literally just ctrl+c, ctrl+v stolen. In terms of the actual style of the art itself, the artists didn't invent and doesn't own that. The artist owns the assets that were 1:1 stolen. Bungie and marathon is cooked, but I must keep it real.

[tall wigeon]

Yeh sure. I’m a graphic designer and u don’t know anything. Sure.

[lunar lion]

I don't know dude. I do want the game to come out, but I want it to the best it can be without being held up by brutal crunch, riddled with controversies, and tainted by public opinion, and I want Bungie to stop letting shit like this happen.

[tribal drift]

I mean, art is a matter of taste

[magic rose]

that makes it even worse for bungie

[still oasis]

it's not ideal

[muted forum]

so does anyone know where i can find screenshots of the item descriptions

[still oasis]

it's like ///...[CODER STUFF]

[tall wigeon]

I get your point. But this is like they took the artist’s content for mood boarding and didn’t change anything.

[wet herald]

You don't gotta like the content stolen, not at all. It being stolen is the problem, and the fact that no one over there audited this "previous" employees work is very concerning.

[sturdy glen]

No that’s just an opinion. Her art is mediocre for sure bungie can do better on their own. We’ve seen it. That’s why this whole scandal is so frustrating. Plus it’s like the 3rd time they’ve stolen art.

[cosmic kettle]

just by manually scraping videos and stuff

[lunar lion]

I kind of do hope there is a lawsuit, honestly. Business malpractice is what caused this, and nothing is a worse deterrent to it than losing money and credibility.

[muted forum]

damn thanks

[cosmic kettle]

no one made any sort of wiki for the alpha content to my knowledge since it's all subject to change

[magic rose]

yeah people kind of overlook this
its not a one-time thing with bungie

[tall wigeon]

5th time

[magic rose]

Im almost certain bungie has stolen some other art that hasnt been caught yet

[wet herald]

Its happened 4 other times, and they werent small either.

[tall wigeon]

Whezzy go trolling in your own discord. 🤣🤣

[celest lily]

[primal flicker]

Great news, there doesn't need to be a lawsuit in order for their reputation and credibility to take an irreparable hit! This is the 4th time this has happened in 5 years. It is abundantly clear that these weren't just oopsie isolated incidents, but a pattern.

There is no appeal process for the court of public opinion.

It's been published multiple times how they scrapped the next marketing plans slated for june that marathon had to give them a chance to make sure they don't contain stolen content.

According to a new report from Forbes’ Paul Tassi, Bungie has scrapped its original marketing plans for Marathon. The studio was set to release a new trailer and open up pre-orders in June, but those plans were called off earlier this month. The report suggests that Bungie began reworking its entire marketing even before the art plagiarism controversy started making headlines.

marathon needs a pve mode where you fight the fallen in the tangled shore and then some of them turn into zombies called the scorn and then you go back to the moon

[magic rose]

Bungie needs to hold a design meeting and really figure out why their game looks and feels like Apex Legends
I legitimately DO NOT THINK it was intentional

[sage estuary]

If you give people image perms then they start touching their worm

[sturdy glen]

I thought it looked different enough from apex but after watching alpha footage I’m not impressed. Just frustrating to have my hype for this game ripped away

[trim sluice]

pretty much identical class system, drop into a large map fighting everyone else off as you loot, like sure its an extraction shooter but most people don't know the minutiae of why extraction shooters are that different from BR's

[still oasis]

to be fair i never met a wizard who didn't come from the moon

[sage estuary]

It's because it looks like plastic in its current state, apex tries to be semi-realistic and marathon is trying something similar, tbf if they made stuff more realistic then you would be able to run it on a potato

[wet herald]

A stiff apex legends at that. In apex you can control your slide after execution among a ton of other really thought out mechanics.

[trim sluice]

like the game has 1-2 passives, tactical ability and a ultimate... pretty much the same as apex only 1 passive is unique and they have a bunch of class passives between other chars
