What if Disney/Wideload got their hands on the rights to Marathon, then we could have "Marathon IV: Starring Mickey Mouse!"

While this is cool, I can't recall a game ever coming from Disney that didn't, well, suck.

Perhaps the old gang can change that, though.

Is Tron 2.0 Disney? That's actually a very fun game, although it runs like @$$ on my computer.

Sort of but not really...it was published by Buena Vista Interactive (part of Disney), but it was actually made by Monolith Productions.

I came to this thread thinking it was going to be about the Marvel acquisition.

Disney Adds Seropian and Wideload [Sep 08, 2009, 09:48 am ET]

CNBC.com has news that Bungie co-founder Alex Seropian has joined Disney Interactive Studios to oversee in-house video game development. The move also includes the acquisition of Wideload Games (Stubbs the Zombie & Hail to the Chimp), the studio Seropian formed in 2004, but financial terms are not being revealed. The article speaks of convergence between casual and core games, "Look at Pixar," they quote Seropian saying. "They are successfully making films that appeal to both families and film nerds – and that opportunity exists in games." There's no word on how Disney's recent acquisition of Marvel will play into this, since that deal is not officially finalized yet.

CNBC adds that Warren Spector joined in 2007. Deus Ex 4, now with sidekick Goofy... smelling salts all 'round.

If you want to know how this really makes me feel, go play this:
