Well, if you compare them to Bioware, Blizzard, Irrational, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal, Arkane, Volition, maybe my comment makes more sense. Idk to each their own.

So compare them to other massive failures that also equally suck?

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

PVP only extraction shooter.

No thanks.

Interesting that Sony are allowing their first party studios to release on xbox, very interesting

Makes Microsoft look like complete douchebags

Bungie would not have allowed the acquisition to take place at all if they could only release their games on one platform. It was a major stipulation that Sony agreed to. Makes Sony look like the weaker partner in the deal.

Righty-o

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

I knew Sony moving towards gaas/pvpve/services would be terrible for gamers who love Sonys single player games and today confirms that.

Imagine having Bungie and this is what they allow them to make ..

Then again Bungie has been on this trajectory for many years so it shouldn't be a surprise.

It's just a shame what's happened to the once beloved creators of Halo

Mate if you can't comprehend basic English I got no time for you.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Lol, what?

They have been shitting the bed ever since the original Destiny. The only reason they are still afloat are from mindless whales and people with sunkcost fallacy.

What a disservice to use Marathon's name for a shitty MP shooter.

Well… the feel of their games coming only second to Respawn’s doesn’t hurt.

 

[RoboFu]

So marathon is on Xbox as well? That’s either some sort of Activision purchase ammo or could be a FPS halo killer Trojan horse to get those players on PS.

Lots of conspiracy theories! Lol

 

[Droxcy]

Art style alone sold me. PvP extraction shooter could be exciting.

I can read, you twit. They are just as shit as the rest of them. They are not somehow the last remaining of the 2000s devs that haven't gone down the drain.

If you are going to critique someone's English, at least make sure you can read.

Well… the feel of their games coming only second to Respawn’s doesn’t hurt.

Great controls does not a great game make. If it fails in level design, pacing, story, encounter design, and respecting the player's time - its not a good game. Which is what Destiny 1 and 2 all fail at.

Oh hey it's Marathon! Finally!

[Nothing1234]

Whose publishing this? I don't recall seeing the PS Studios logo before this. Very likely a long existing project before the acquisition.

Like Redfall and Starfield.

 

[Warablo]

Where are the people who said that only Destiny will be on Xbox an every other new game will be PC PS5 only?

I do wonder how far along they were in development.

 

[Nobody_Important]

Yeah I saw the news trending on Twitter. I had to double check because I couldn't believe it.


I have no idea wtf they are thinking lol

 

[darrylgorn]

I had a wave of elation, then got donkey punched as I was reading the description.

Same. Beyond hyped to see Marathon return and it genuinely looked interesting. Then PVP only. Fuck that noise.

 

[LordOfChaos]

I have a lot going on at the moment so correct me if I'm wrong...Bungie, creators of Marathon, made a game named Marathon, that isn't finally a continuation of Marathon or giving them a shooter like Halo or COD? Did...Did I get this right?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Umm Microsoft have been well-known in the tech industry for being complete douchebags since the mid-1990's

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Bungie is coming to kill Halo I guess... I can't wait to see what they've done anyway!

It’s nothing like Halo, it’s an extraction pvp gsme. More like a Battle Royale than anything Halo.

 

[adamsapple]

Where are the people who said that only Destiny will be on Xbox an every other new game will be PC PS5 only?

Right here. You can also look up my posts saying whatever project they were working on before the acquisition will likely be multi-plat.

 

[Astray]

This is GAAS, and thus, of no ultimate interest to me unless my friends pick it up, but I thought the artstyle looked sick.

The official merch looks great too (item descriptions have some lore too if you're interested in that), but it's overpriced as fuck:

Bro this is an honest question that has nothing to do with videogames.

Is there a single tech company in existence that doesn't act like an absolute piece of shit?

Thanks it's not like Halo when we know where Halo is!

 

[Arsic]

I’m all in. Bungie doesn’t miss IMO.

I like Tarkov but it’s an alpha of a game to this day. Someone with talent making an extraction shooter is exactly what I want. This could be the next big hype fps IMO.

 

[Wooxsvan]

PVP only extraction shooter.

No thanks.

ya just negative interest in this game type

that was part of the deal from the beginning, Bungie literally cleared this up the day they got bought.
Sony fangirls of course denied that this is what they are saying, basically trying to interpret stuff into the announcement to fit that narrative

Bungie runs their own ship, at least for now.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

And there is your Halo killer

The Halo killer...was 343i.

 

[ByWatterson]

Honestly, as someone who fell off of Destiny hard due to its complete abandonment of PVP, this sounds very exciting to me.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Looks interesting. Nice visual style as well.

 

[01011001]

The Halo killer...was 343i.

you could say... the killer was ready... AMONG US

 

[ToTTenTranz]

And there is your Halo killer

I thought Halo Infinite was our Halo killer...

 

[kebaldo]

Beautiful as fruck but they need to put a little hint on what the game will actually feel.

 

[Arsic]

Bungie doesn't miss?


Good one lol

Fuck out of here.

Bungie “missing” is inconsequential compared to say oh I don’t know red fall , blizzard handling of overwatch 2, most games PC ports, and so on and so forth .

Destiny 2 has been in incredible shape for years. Destiny 1 was a banger. All of their halo games are aces.

Whatever shade you want to throw as a “miss” is a joke .

 

[Pejo]

• (pvp extraction shooter)

 

[Warnen]

Pvp… yeah won’t be playing this. Destiny pvp is hot trash at the best of times.

 

[Fbh]

"Loot based extraction shooter"

Well I'm out. Happy for the streamers and 12 years old griefers I guess

 

[Raven117]

If this is just pvp, I'm not interested.

Destiny 1 was a banger? What in the name of rose tinted glasses are you talking about?


It was an absolute MESS until the Taken King expansion. It's launch was abysmal. It's first few "expansions" weren't even expansions and repeatedly reused assets and had entire levels that were just existing levels that you did in reverse.


Destiny 2 saw the rise of Eververse where all the armor sets and sparrows on the store were way better than anything you got in the game normally. It also saw the switch to the battle pass model which turned the game into more of a time investment instead of a fun hobby with friends. That's also not getting into the "seasonal activities" you get where it's just a single activity that you are expected to do over and over again for a month or more.

 

[The Tourmaline Gorilla]

And there is your Halo killer

The world doesn't need one...

Halo killed itself a very long time ago. All we have now, is its ghost.

 

[flying_sq]

Pulled me in with the aesthetic, lost me with the extraction shooter.

 

[darrylgorn]

Same. Beyond hyped to see Marathon return and it genuinely looked interesting. Then PVP only. Fuck that noise.

I mean, I'll probably eat my words for backing System Shock 84 years ago, but I would have been totally on board with a modern version of Marathon at a budget price.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

As long as it's not like Destiny and more a traditional shooter, I'm very interested.

Same. But instead they gave us generic PVP shooter.

As long as it's not like Destiny and more a traditional shooter, I'm very interested.

Its literally a PVP only shooter with no singleplayer/story elements.

 

[Nobody_Important]

Think Sci-fi Tarkov.

It's an extraction shooter, which is shaping up to replace battle royales as the new genre everyone seems to try to get into.

Eye see what you did there.
