| Marketing genius is the problem | |

In Response To: I'm not too keen on those bands, and I like it... (Recoil) : While I love Marty’s work, you gotta admit, it would be kinda nice to take
It's pretty obvious that if true, this would be a decision made by Microsofts's marketing department rather than Bungies developers. Name one other area of the game where it would be OK for a marketing drone to be calling the shots... Choosing music just in order to hype or sell the game, as opposed to choosing music that enhances the game experience, is a problem in my book. How would you feel if the MC showed up in the next game wearing a Nike swoosh on his armor, just to get the marketing tie-in with the sneaker pimps? Wanna bet some of those billboards in New Mombasa end up bearing adverts for real-world sponsors? Marty's music has gone a long way towards establishing the mood and atmosphere of every game since Myth... having some suburban white-guy rap-pop group in your epic Sci-Fi shooter just doesn't make much sense to me. And having it on the soundtrack but not in the game just seems weird to me. | |
