Support NeoGAF

[EviLore]

When Disney execs saw that Thor: The Dark World was struggling to come together during production, they airlifted in Joss Whedon, hot off his billion dollar success with The Avengers, to save the film.

The year is 2025. You're Vice President of Games as a Service at Sony. You drive a late model S-Class and golf three times a week with colleagues. Every month you present a new Powerpoint about how much money Sony stands to make when GaaS finally takes off. But now, in the wake of controversy and troubled development, Marathon is in deep waters. Your neck is on the line, as is billions of dollars in investment for Bungie.

Who's your Joss Whedon?

[poppabk]

Please bring the Professor back. It's just too funny.

 

[SJRB]

David Jaffe, obviously.

 

[HRK69]

This Alanah Pearce thread has potential

 

[adamsapple]

 

[PauloRoberto]

Whoever created Helldivers II. Any game should first and foremost be FUNNY.

 

[Little Chicken]

The Professor, obviously

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Sorry Professor, I went with Corinne Busche. I'm not exactly sure what a Queerosexual Gendermancer is, but it sounds more powerful than some mere professor.

 

[omegasc]

Me

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

 

[Sooner]

Don't bother

 

[yogaflame]

Shift up

Bring the Professor back - make her a playable character with a woke gun. You get hit your character gets fat and their hair turns purple.

 

[Connificent]

Make it so Herman

 

[winjer]

The Professor. Because one iceberg might not be enough...

 

[T4keD0wN]

 

[Zannegan]

Nicolas Doucet and Team Asobi. They've already made a platformer to rival Mario, why not a colorful TPS to rival Splatoon?

Alternatively, I'd love to see what Kojima would make of the universe... after turning it into a single-player narrative adventure, of course.

[Ass of Can Whooping]

You cunt

 

[Lord Panda]

JJ Abrams

 

[Liopleurodon]

Hideo Kojima.

No, seriously, I believe he would actually be able to do it.

 

[GermanZepp]

Alanah Pearce obviously

 

[Chukhopops]

- Hire Hideki Kamiya
- Cancel Marathon
- Make Kamiya develop a new Oni
- Profit

 

[Comandr]

I'm still mad at Joss Whedon over Wash. I'm taking this grudge to my grave. Putting that aside, Topher was right. Bring in Peter Molyneux. Sell the promise. Turn it into a low key Populous spiritual successor. Go fucking ape shitt. It can't do any worse.

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

Men_In_Boxes seems to be an expert on GAAS. I'd bring him in since he thinks he knows so fucking much.

 

[intbal]

Bogus poll
No Bonnie Ross option.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Look at the mug, nuff said

 

[Shubh_C63]

JJ Abrams

He saved StarWars. He fixed America's national anthem. He can do this !

 

[Vindicator]

 

[T4keD0wN]

Hideo Kojima.

No, seriously, I believe he would actually be able to do it.

Marathons tend to be more fun to run when you add Monster energy drinks or piss grenades into the mix.

 

[Wilhelm_85]

They probably should just cut their losses. It's an IP with almost zero name recognition, so it's not even worth trying to salvage.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Ragnar Tornquist could probably dupe the government into funding the game with taxpayer money. The game could be profitable even if it sells zero copies.

Don't count him out so soon!

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

All of them, we need their combined power to make Marathon the success it deserves to be.

 

[EviLore]

- Hire Hideki Kamiya
- Cancel Marathon
- Make Kamiya develop a new Oni
- Profit

Great idea. But, Herman Hulst just emailed you with some notes on the character design. Can we move forward with this?

 

[protonion]

Eh...
Alanah's fake tits could get me to play a game or two.

 

[PeteBull]

Fuck i already found that gif and was about to post, kudos to u sir

 

[Connificent]

Eh...
Alanah's fake tits could get me to play a game or two.

She deflated her breasts roosnam1980

 

[Cakeboxer]

To make Marathon a success or at least a good game they have to give it to Bluepoint or Nightdive, remaster the original game and dump.the turd Bungie is working on right now.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

The game is already doomed. That's karma for what Sony has done to the world.

 

[bender]

Lucas Pope

 

[KyoZz]

 

[hemo memo]

Serious answer? Kojima Productions would turn this around.

 

[Mokus]

Bonnie Ross

 

[Fake]

Don Mattrick or Neil Cuckman.

 

[Liopleurodon]

Marathons tend to be more fun to run when you add Monster energy drinks or piss grenades into the mix.

Who knows, maybe that is exactly what Marathon needs.

And it definitely needs someone like Yoji Shinkawa to redesign those wacky (in a bad way) looking characters.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Chuck Norris, so no hippie or communist hack is left alive.

 

[Punished Miku]

EviLore woke up today and chose violence.

 

[Arsic]

Alanah Pearce would bring the studio moral up.

She's got two great assets she can unveil at anytime to get these boys excited about making a game.

 

[diffusionx]

The Professor with Men_in_Boxes as a consultant would be an unstoppable combination to save Marathon
