This is great news! Paul has already composed several orchestral pieces, which were great, so he knows his stuff, and will compliment Marty very nicely.
He also was super into Atari back in the 70's, so he has a soft spot for games, and its great because he will be able to introduce his music and talent to a whole new generation, in a dynamic and engaging way.

Paid for by Activision.

-I'm guessing.


I doubt it. Paul has been looking to work for a game company, as he said earlier this year. Bungie of course wants experienced people working on their games, so why wouldn't they want Paul there?

He's probably getting paid, yes, but I'm betting it's from Bungie.

IMO this is more as a cooperative working deal, than just another "job".

I've known for about a year. Where have you all been?!

Also to the person claiming it was paid for by Activision: Bungie's current project(s are/)is being funded by Activision, so that's a no brainer but, is there no faith in you that possibly it was something that McCartney was genuinely interested in getting into games, and that he was specifically interested in working with Marty?
Genuine interest is an alien concept to most on the internet.

Man that would be totally awesome.


A better easer egg would be a silver hammer.

He's BEEN working with Marty since earlier this year. In the Forbes article they said that back in January he said that he already was working on a video game.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

This is what I call a "power play" in my mind.

Dianna Agron is the epitome of perfection.

Quinntology.

Call me a heretic or a jerk or whatever, but I never really enjoyed any of his music at any point in his musical career. So it obviously doesn't excite me too much.

No, you can't have it. But thanks for asking!

I wonder if this sort of thing is going to help out in the debate of "Are games Art?".

If you have someone from the 'old guard' of art, like Sir Paul McCartney helping to write music, I believe that it definitely does give more ammunition for the games are art crowd.

-MAZ


As a staunch believer that games ARE art, I just had to second this sentiment.

Why can't we put Bungie Cards here?

Paul's lost it. He hasn't written anything good in twenty or thirty years. But I'm sure he'll come up with something worth listening to

Paul McCartney + Bungie = Pure awesomeness! Bungie is cooking something really cool here.

I am not a huge McCartney fan but he definitley brings a level of proven success and will go down as one of the best pop musicians of all time.

Moreover, in the article it explains he has composed classical pieces in the past. That is what I'm looking for in Destiny.
