This isn’t marathon, this is Bungie trying to make something new and hoping people buy it because of an established intellectual property.
I don’t think the Marathon ip is big enough to ride on the name. The trailers don’t give a Marathon vibe anyway.
Which begs the question, why use the IP in the first place?
It’s especially weird because they just recently gave the green light for the Aleph One developers to release the originals on Steam, so it’s probably more well-known now than ever before. Even though it’s still relatively obscure, why do that now? It just doesn’t make sense.
Pvp extraction shooter? What does that have to do with the Marathon franchise?
I smell a cash grab.
Seeing the initial new Marathon trailer might have been the most excited and then disappointed I’ve ever been with a game announcement. So excited for them to bring that franchise to the modern era, but so disappointed that it was just an extraction shooter. Ugh.
It’s made by the company that made the original Marathon. Or what’s left of that company at least…
Bungie is just a shell of what it was back then
I’m going to introduce it to the miracle of orbital bombardment.
Bungie? Pls make this a one time payment and not the fuckery that is the destiny 2 pricing model.
Lol dont give bungie a dime.
I haven’t so far. For me to spend money on this game, it has to be
a. Good
b. Linux compatible
c. Not have any non-cosmetic transactions other than an up front purchase price
With bungie, all three of these have a low chance of happening. There’s a reason why my autocorrect keeps trying to write bungle.
They can barely maintain a single game and now after firing almost half their employees they expect to maintain 3 games? Well, I’m grabbing my popcorn…
Where can I see the game? Clearly the Steam page is not the right place.
Nowhere so far. We have 0 gameplay for it yet. Maybe soon we’ll get to see something as they stated that the game will come in 2025.
If Bungie is behind it I have zero interest without even knowing what it is. Destiny 2 was an OK game, but its god awful anticheat bans Linux users. That is a sure-fire way to make me pretend your game doesn’t exist. Client side anticheat is a plague. Do it properly on the server side.
Hope it turns out well, the announcement trailer was a wicked vision of a wild artistic and sonic direction, but it seems like the actual development process has been quite troubled.
