If the new Marathon makes AI the heroes instead of the villains I’m gonna be so mad.

I missed the time when AI in games refer just to the NPC’s programming, and Cortana is only a character in Halo.

Almost all their art in the game was stolen from one artist. They didn’t even do a good job at covering up the blatant theft. Not sure if they’ve fixed anything, but that was a major lawsuit just itching to come out.

The Marathon AIs weren’t all bad.
Leela meant well but was completely outclassed.
Durandal had been rampant since before the first game and only reached some degree of stability once he stole that Pfhor ship. He was basically designed to be unstable. While he was certainly an asshole with rather loose morals, he also made sure that Leela could warm humanity about the Pfhor and that his S’pht allies got what they wanted. He’s on the verge of being an antihero.
Tycho… Well, we only saw him after the Pfhor rebuilt him and that version of him is pretty clearly a villain.
Thoth was barely conscious until he merged with Durandal. I can’t say much about him. He is possibly involved with altering the timeline after the W’rkncacnter was released so I’d book him as a good guy.
(I am mad at the new Marathon but for different reasons than the AIs.)

Reading old game reviews or game development blogs and books where AI was just pathfinding and decision trees is something special.
