Moustache guy said no answer yet about prox chat and communication, or solo/duo/trio gameplay modes. Still TBD.
Its the guy holding the gun forcing him to be there.I might be wrong, but I think the green shirt guy has someone off screen talking to him. He just half way was off screen and looked like he was talking and nodding to someone. Might be wrong though.
Probably a fucking lawyer.I might be wrong, but I think the green shirt guy has someone off screen talking to him. He just half way was off screen and looked like he was talking and nodding to someone. Might be wrong though.
(edit. He just did a thumbs up signal aimed at someone off screen)

This guy is going through a personal hell. We're watching someone withering away in realtime, lmao
Tonight......Green shirt guy is just done. This stream is comedy gold.
IMO there is nothing they could have done to convince people different after the Alpha. There's way to much negativity surrounding this game. They were going to catch hate no matter what.This was a total disaster.
I don't know if Bungie was being blissfully naive or if they just don't care, but the stakes are way, WAY too high for such an amateurish livestream. How did this happen? Livestreaming is not some novel thing, every idiot can do it and there are a million websites and videos on how to set up you audio system.
Marathon is standing with one foot in the grave already after that dreadful alpha so they need to bring their A game to convince people that this game is worth forking over 40 bucks of their hard earned money and all we got was a couple of dudes mumbling about how they're working on some cool stuff and might fix some stuff and will add some cool visuals at some point probably and thinking about customization but not sure on how.
This game is supposed to release in 4 months, what the fuck do you mean you're still figuring out ways players can communicate? And how they talked about the blatant, overwhelming plagiarism was just absurd.
Extremely bad look for Marathon, Bungie and Playstation.
Holy shit, there are actual Marathon fans in there! I can only imagine how pissed they must be at this piece of shit of a videogame.

They could: Assertive PR.
The fact that they couldn't even do it with proximity Chat, tells you that this game is way early or/and they still don't get it.
The unfortunate part is that they never did, I feel. It's why even people that went to the event weren't blown away by what they saw and played. It's just a really unfortunate situation. But it sounds like the product that currently exists lacks confidence and passion. So, it's a game that looks "different" visually, but everything else feels like a been there done that it seems. Which sounds really bad for a well known AAA studio.They don't transmit any confidence in the product.
Unless a miracle happens, heads gonna roll. Can't say i feel sorry for them because i don't care about GaaS games.

Can't wait for the YouTube video tonightAsmongold is watching this trainwreck with almost 60k viewers.
This stream was a huge mistake. I almost feel bad for these guys, they are getting absolutely obliterated.
Funniest thing about all this drama is that they could have just used the art design from the previous Marathon titles but nah, lets steal from some dude's portfolio instead and make something that barely resembles the original games.
They deserve to be called Concord 2.
I don't understand what goes through these people's heads.
Do they not realise that the audience for these kinds of games are predominantly males ~30+ years of age, and all the most recent successful GAAS games that have actually sold are, grounded, gritty, brutal and dark (Helldivers 2, Hunt showdown and Tarkov as examples).
Even if you look at the upcoming arc raiders, which by all accounts looks like it's going to be a success, it's much more grounded in it's approach to all of this.
Do they never stop and think who are we making this for, who the fuck wants to look at this and play it?
Nevermind the fact that they are actually asking people to pay for it. In case they forgot, fortnite is free, so chasing that audience with your shitty colour palatte does nothing to attract them because they won't want to pay for it.
This is why I have no sympathy for them or the idiots at Sony who have let all of this develop and fester. It's like they learnt nothing from what happened with Concord, and on the flip side they've learnt nothing from the success that Arrowhead have had with Helldivers 2.
TLOU factions had a far better chance of succeeding than this ever did. Making stuff like Socom, Warhawk, killzone multiplayer, resistance multiplayer etc would have had a far better chance of success than this, and some of them would have been ripe for being made in to an extraction shooter (TLOU in particular). But this is what chasing trends instead of playing to your own strengths gets you.
Honestly I think they don't. And I'd bet money that there's still good talented fellas at Bungie but nobody asked them either.Do they never stop and think who are we making this for, who the fuck wants to look at this and play it?
Couldn't agree more. Sony has tons of fans and many of them still remember those franchises. Hell I never played Socom and I know about it because of people here on GAF still mentioning it here and there many years after the last game released.TLOU factions had a far better chance of succeeding than this ever did. Making stuff like Socom, Warhawk, killzone multiplayer, resistance multiplayer etc
So instead of pleasing those fans... did they decide to please Marathon fans? Nah fuck them as well, lets slap the brand on a extraction shooter that plays nothing like the original games.
Part of me thinks they see those legacy ips as to masculine. It sounds dumb but internally I think some people don't see them (SOCOM, Killzone, Warhawk) as fitting the culture of the place.Their inability to invest at all in their legacy IP is one of the all time headscratchers.

All of their efforts have this 'modern' bend to it. Hoping to bring in a new audience.
I think enough loss and pressure might change things.
Sony Japan needs to go scorched earth.
