The best thing about Marathon is the shortfilm. Watch that. Then ignore the game.
Comment on Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets

TIL that Bungie is releasing a new game.
Although judging by this news and the first sentence on their Steam page being “…Bungie’s team-based extraction shooter.”, maybe it’s a good thing I can’t play their games.

I watched people play the game and was wondering what the hype was all about. The game looked so dull and boring. The outside of the map looled like a game made by a single dev for his indie game. Only yesterday i watched the short film and was loke: oooooooh, i get it, because they lie.

“Bungie is making a new game based on Marathon”
Great, I’m in.
“It’s a multi-player extraction shooter”
Nope, I’m out. This smells like a “Prey” situation.

But Prey was actually good.

Prey was sooo good.
Sucks for the people who wanted a continuation of the original tho.

It was really good. I just wanted more indigenous themes if they were going to use the Prey name. It was such a disappointment in that respect.

prey 2 was going to be nothing like prey. I’m glad it didn’t happen tbh.

For real, immersive sim fans that haven’t played it are missing out. It probably should’ve had a different name though.

It did at one point, but I think they were forced to change it to Prey at some point in development. It had a “Shock” title to put it in line with System Shock and Bioshock.

I had the same reaction to Marathon as well as the new Black Hawk Down.

Im so tried of all these multiplayer games, make a goddamn single player campaign, fuck it add in splitscreen or the ability to play the campaign with friends if you have too
