This is the thing they play when you first boot Marathon up. It's a 3 minute introduction to the universe that you can only get about 45 seconds through because you'd rather be shooting people.

This game has a cool style to it I really like the games overall presentation.

It's worth a watch. Definitely sets the tone of the game when you go in.

I wish they would present this in a different way. Interesting lore presented in a very bleh way. Made worse by the fact that it merges with your shell initialization.

Reminds me of the old Modern Warfare mission briefings. Bungie can do better.

I think it explains the fiction / concept pretty effectively.

Hit submit and move on to other pressing issues, imo.

Is it really a leak if nobody wants to see it?

 

[Bojanglez]

Encouraging vibes

 

[Killer8]

Crazy good aesthetics.

That's my problem. I don't want to move on, I want the lore! Bungie are still amazing storytellers. I just wish it had a more conventional presentation.

 

[Tobimacoss]

Interesting, so they 3d-print these plastic shells and transfer the consciousness. Kind of like Ghost in the Shell.

Nice. I wonder who Bungie took that from.

Best I can give you is a Netflix anime sometime in 2027/2028.

'somewhere in the heavens they are waiting...'

damn! i've always suspected this...

 

[EDMIX]

I really like the art direction they are going for here.

 

[Germuso]

Art direction is cool until you watch Gameplay with ugly visual.

 

[kruis]

Crazy good aesthetics.

I had enough of those crazy good esthetics after 30 seconds. That animation style is interesting and bearable for just a very, very short time before it gets on your nerves and becomes unappealing and annoying.

 

[DannyDanger]

Trash ...
I'll never understand this kind of cryptic story telling in multiplayer games, reminds of the BS story elements in the first Titanfall.

You already have so little story content in the game, at least make it clear and to the point

Why do the positive replies read like YouTube bot comments?

I don't know, why is there this obsession with attacking people who say anything positive about this game? Its almost like some of you desperately want everyone to share the same view on this game as if no opinions are allowed that differ or something.

Interesting, so they 3d-print these plastic shells and transfer the consciousness. Kind of like Ghost in the Shell.

I can see why that would influence this title, with it being an MP game, it makes sense to explain them being expendable. Like you are going thru many matches because the body that is being used to fight for those resources is merely a shell, android etc.

Exactly what I was thinking, that's why they chose to make it an extraction shooter.

Can replay the missions with another shell, I think they should make getting more or better shells come at a premium to make things interesting.

So the whole game starting to make more sense, but they still need to explain what is the importance of the stuff being extracted.

Like in Dune, it is the Spice.

Hard to watch, hard to follow and listen to.

Aesthetically something I'd expect from a niche indie game.

This video is truly an inspiration and great quality

But for real, it didn't really get me hyped lol

 

[Durin]

I just get this weird whiplash with so many of the cinematics having this creepy cryptic vibe clashing organic and robotic imagery...and then the actual game is this more muted generic looking extraction shooter loop.

This should've been a sci-fi horror shooter.

 

[j0hnnix]

[Ovek]

The in game visuals do not match any of the cinematics they have released including this intro video.

The game somehow looks shockingly generic, lifless, sterile and boring. Such a shame as well I really love the art style they were "influenced" by.

Indecent exposure.

I'm playing Halo Reach for the fist time since launch on 360. Guys…… what did we do? What the fuck did we fucking do? to get from there to here? I'm playing with a controller because Halo is designed for a controller. Fight me. But then tell me if there's a game since with better SP combat? It's just fucking perfect. And then I come here and I see this.

This Marathon and Campaign Evolved drama has just made me appreciate peak Bungie even more. MCC is all you need baby. Legendary developer. Toasting Rocksteady and Monolith in Valhalla no doubt.

[ChorizoPicozo]

from the company with juvenile storytelling and

"I don't have time to tell you why I don't have time to explain."

Yeah… I don't think this thing is going to hit the way they think it will. Destiny´s universe was at least nice to look at.

 

[Quixz]

I do not hate this surprisingly and hope the gameplay has had an overhaul.

 

[manfestival]

yeah and its still better than arc raiders.

 

[Dr Cowley]

Reminds me of the dedsec vids from watchdogs

Or some shitty 'now that's what I call music 83' advert

You might not like the style personally but the game looks anything but generic.

 

[Games Bookstore]

That's hard to watch. I get the feeling this was leaked on purpose to gauge player reactions

 

[bitbydeath]

That should be called a dump.

It was in the recent test. No reason for them to "leak" it as well.

I don't know how this ad will sell the game. Looks shit.

Its not an ad, it's the intro cinematic. If you are seeing this on your telly then you'll have already bought the game.

Worse than I thought.

What did you think the intro would be like?
