Bad news folks, Marc Ecko wants to make Getting Up 2, once he’s sorted some stuff out with Atari
If there are gods of gaming, then they hate us, for they have sent forth Marc Ecko to punish us for some grave misdeed. But what form will their vengeance take? Why a sequel to the deeply mediocre Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure of course!
Fake theology aside, Marc Ecko’s relationship with gamers is an odd one; he clearly hates us and yet can’t bear to leave us alone and is dedicated to making his vision of a sequel to the largely ignored Getting Up a reality.
“Getting Up was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Atari shit the bed, you know? And I’m gonna f*cking make that game again if it kills me. I’m gonna do it. I want to see the brand out there again,” said Ecko is his unique and colourful manner
“Imagine if given the opportunity in this market and the velocity of the market, and all the developments within the hardware,” he explained. “what we could do with that genre. I feel really confident that we can do something meaningful and fun, regardless of the rough around the edges road of getting it to the market,” he continued.
