Unless it's not? Marathon is the captain now.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Then there'll be lots and lots of people fired, because you don't need 850 people working on Destiny 2 and Marathon.
Sony made a terrible, very costly mistake buying Bungie for $3.6 billion. What a waste of money if all they got out of this purchase money was a dead franchise, a remake and one single new game that's now entering full development.

That's like canceling a mainline Final Fantasy at SQEX or something. I guess it's just all hands on Marathon.

Hero shooter? Not likely.

This...This was a terrible buy. I don't know what Sony was thinking but this was a bad buy imo and it's all buggered

It's an Extraction Shooter.

'to this point'? it never made sense to me from day 1. if you're gonna acquire bungie, at that price, you do it somewhere between destiny 1 & destiny 2. anything else? at that price? moronic...To this point I'm still trying to understand the purpose of this acquisition for both parts involved.

It is a PVPVE extraction/looter/shooter. Which we don't have enough of /s.

Jeff has a way with words that just helps push him along while contributing nothing in the grand scheme of things. It's Destiny 3, but it's not "Destiny 3".

Despite the irrational hate he gets by some here, he's right a lot more often than he's been wrong.

I smell BS. Parson’s letter mentioned they are now focusing EXCLUSIVELY on Destiny and Marathon. If anything this confirms D3 will come at some point.

Players Fear Bungie’s ‘Marathon’ May Be A Hero Shooter Now
Marathon has a new game director and apparently a new hero extraction shooter concept, according to a new report. Players are not having it.

I rather throw money at a stripper named destiny than play destiny game.

Sarcasm?
Because vanilla Destiny 1 was such a mess it almost sunk. It took The Taken King expansion to right the ship for the rest of the game’s history. Much like it took Forsaken to fix vanilla Destiny 2.

Will Press Sneak Fuck manage to get out some actual details about the games this time or will he be too distracted about the injustice of purple hairs losing their jobs despite generous severance packages? I, for one, am excited for his reporting.

Destiny was second fiddle to other games for whatever reasons and in a sense it’s good for Bungie who can still do something.

I was in, but now I'm out. Hopefully the reaction to Concord changes things.

Interesting. Layoffs are still terrible but perhaps the sky isn’t actually falling for the company as a whole just yet
Also, yes I’m surprised D3 isn’t happening. Isn’t that their thing?

oof. On a positive note, I have more faith in Bungie to make a good Hero Shooter versus the Concord team.Players Fear Bungie’s ‘Marathon’ May Be A Hero Shooter Now

Destiny's gameplay/shooting mechanics are top notch.

Hey we run with random tweets on GAF, regardless of facts. Didn't you get the memo?

So I guess they only have Marathon now.
Matter was cancelled, the next Destiny seems too.

I think it had great potential for what it was "supposed" to be but yeah, I think Sony greatly overvalued this IP/Studio when they purchased it/them.

Good.
Absolutely loved D1, it was peak shooter with The Taken King.
Destiny 2 was meh and it's easy to see why Activision broke the deal.
Let it die, start something fresh and don't let em fuck up again.

I thought they were shelving Destiny for a while anyway, to focus on Marathon. Which felt like a logical step forward after Destiny, until those prats started talking about hero characters. Hopefully that us given a stern look.

The info suggests they'll continue making content for D2.

Destiny 2 is fucking infuriating with its bloat. Because the base game is so damn good. In regards to Marathon, their content strategy honestly worries me more than the hero aspect
