Don't know what he's working on. Hopefully we'll find out soon.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Curious about who ends up partnering with him.

 

[Quazar]

Hmmm. Should be interesting.

 

[Hendrick's]

Interesting. A musician founding a game company is indeed a strange twist. Well at least whatever the games are, they will have good scores.

 

[riskVSreward]

He's an excellent composer, but what kind of game development expertise does he really have?

 

[Compsiox]

GO MARTY!!!

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Composer Hero

Yea. I'm sure he's in a good position of snagging talent from 343 and Bungie. Really curious to know who he's working with.

 

[Compsiox]

He has a team:

Iiinteresting. I wonder if it will be a game with music as a key pillar rather than background noise, a bit like Sword and Sworcery, but grander.

OMFG VIRTUAL REALITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Looks like he's working with an ex-Bungie dude.

Oh shit, Jaime Griesemer joined him? This could be interesting.

 

[Alienous]

Oof, good luck. A game studio is more than a composer, and managing one is more than being an audio director.

Hopefully it works out.

oh? didnt realize he left sucker punch. definitely something to watch out for.

I'm loving all this VR support.

 

[Compsiox]

The studio and Marty favorited my tweet. Awww yiissss!

Yeah, he left in early 2014.

 

[Exploratory]

Who cares? I can just turn my screen off and listen to the audio I don't even need to play the game lol.

 

[Spruce]

Awesome. Looking forward to more Marty.

 

[Bsigg12]

oh? didnt realize he left sucker punch. definitely something to watch out for.

I didn't realize he did work on MCC. Jesus.

 

[feel]

Looks like he's working with an ex-Bungie dude.

Jaime and Marty? Oh my, I'm in, whatever they do.

The incredible Halo sandbox went to hell after Jaime left and never recovered.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I didn't realize he did work on MCC. Jesus.

That might be a mistake.

 

[Pooya]

It took me a bit to figure out what their logo is v_v pretty cool.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Marty is making a VR-oriented studio?

I'm down for this.

could be VR or not. Looks like they're messing around with ideas at this point.

 

[Wiktor]

MYTH spiritual successor. Regular or VR. Imagine playing the general in a tent, looming over a huge ass map where the battle rages on

The BioWare doctors would have seemed strange at the time too.

 

[element]

oh this is what Jamie has been working on! Very cool that Marty joined him!

Oh.

 

[thefatness16]

I love Marty. I'll give him a chance.

 

[Stinkles]

I hate the term "dream team" but it's hard to argue they don't have a fantastic core set of people to start with.

 

[Sulik2]

Maybe he will bring in Chris Avellone.

 

[Nephtes]

At least we know whatever games they make will have fantastic music...

 

[MrGreencastle]

Watch this space. Marty knows his stuff. Jaime Griesemer, too? Sheeeeeeeeeeit.


Jaime is a genius: Design in Detail: Changing the Time Between Shots for the Sniper Rifle from 0.5 to 0.7 Seconds for Halo 3

 

[Idle Storm]

This is amazing news! This team has the potential to be substantially amazing.

 

[Sou Da]

Please no more fpses.

 

[a secret-boss]

Kojima gonna join

 

[Dega]

I hate the term "dream team" but it's hard to argue they don't have a fantastic core set of people to start with.

So...

You guys gonna work with them?

 

[Raide]

Please no more fpses.

Probably end up being some open-world space sim! We need more of those too!

An interesting choice to have someone focused around the music/audio side at the helm. It should mean the music will be at the forefront, so maybe some music styled VR game maybe?

Of course, Marty has been in and around Halo for long enough to know what works and what does not work.

I wish him and the team he assembles all the best!

 

[RPGam3r]

The VR part actually diminishes my interest. Oh well hope it's cool whatever they do.

 

[Icyflamez96]

That's weird.

 

[Overdoziz]

Will their games have audio options?
