[Lokaum D+]

100% layoff ll happen, this looks mid as fuck

Edit: Bungie is the worst acquisition Sony ever made.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Need to see more but visually looks a lot like Destiny 2. The arcs, sparks, shield effects and whatnot.

 

[OverHeat]

 

[Represent.]

Another super colorful GAAS trash shooter releasing too close to GTA6, dead one month after arrival.

 

[Fake]

Another Concord incoming.

 

[KyoZz]

Extraction shooter, terrible art direction...

 

[Represent.]

I hate to be so negative, these folks worked hard on this. But man… it is what it is

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Yeah, looks like another multiplayer game

 

[Hookshot]

When they first teased it with the melty puddles and the garish colors I thought it was going to have a Splatoon like mode but this is just a shooter with ugly character designs.

 

[N0S]

All platforms?

 

[seb85]

Better start firing the executives at Sony because they are clearly bunch of fucking morons who can't even see past their noses

 

[OverHeat]

Seriously bungie is dead to me

 

[Cakeboxer]

Yeah, i'm out. Have fun watching.

 

[Sweden85]

This look so meh :-(

 

[Kacho]

 

[Mr Moose]

Looks like Destiny PvP with collecting shit.
Could be good, I guess, not my thing though.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Men_in_Boxes how disappointed are you? Our audience needs to know

 

[Mr Moose]

All platforms?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Will wait for gamepass

 

[Gonzito]

Concord 2, the sequel that made Spielberg tear up

 

[nkill20]

Men_in_Boxes how disappointed are you? Our audience needs to know

even if he is, he'll save face

 

[KyoZz]

How much did Bungie cost again? Billions to keep releasing games on a dying platform... what were they thinking?

 

[Killer8]

No idea why people are so down on this. It looks great. Vibe and art style reminds me of 90s shooters like System Shock and of course the original Marathon, mixed in with shades of Mirror's Edge and the skyboxes Bungie are known for. People are just completely allergic to color now.

 

[Unfortunatecookie]

Huh. It's like a cartoony Helldivers minus the sense of humor. Fascinating decision to not make it light-hearted.

 

[Begleiter]

All platforms?

Part of the conditions Bungie was acquired under stopped their stuff being exclusive. Another thing that makes it clear Sony massively overpaid for them.

 

[Luipadre]

How much was bungie again for sony? Jesus christ get a grip.

 

[H From Steps]

Bungie Never released a boring game so ill give it a try and see what's up

 

[Ribi]

Brink which came out 2 decades ago almost looked better than this

 

[Hugare]

These mfers struck gold with Destiny 2 and now think they are GAAS experts, going as far as convincing Sony and ND that Factions 2 wouldnt work.

And this is what they are cooking? Looks so cheap

Bungie and Sony are set for a rude awakening

 

[Solarstrike]

/should have made Destiny 3

 

[Shubh_C63]

I am just surprised how similar the crosshair, the visual impact of gun, the death animation, the stab disintegration, The grenade effects all of it looks so much similar to Destiny 2.

Still waiting to see more.

 

[balls of snow]

The close alpha feedback will make or break the game.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I'm not impressed but I will try the beta. Marvel Rivals looked like shit in prerelease trailers too but I kinda love it.

There's gotta be something else Bungie|SONY is working on.

 

[rkofan87]

dam ben star is british troy baker at this point dudes voice is everywhere and i an here for it love that man

 

[Redneckerz]

It looks cool, but it also looks like many other games with similar premises. The artstyle is quite unique.

But how far away from the original Marathon is this? I remember the original game being lore-heavy to the core, but this looks like a very colorful interpretation of The Matrix with System Shock.

 

[GC_DALBEN]

Im a fps guy but i didnt like what they showed us.

 

[Heaven Angel]

Such hyped generic boring colorful GaaS game. I had no faith in GaaS to begin with but this is straight up mediocre.
It's going F2P and getting flopped real hard.

 

[KyoZz]

I was about to say "go go Power Ranger!" but that would be an insult for Power Ranger:

 

[Solarstrike]

 

[Jamesb0ndjr]

Gotta love gamers and the internet. If I showed you you're guys' favorite games for the first time today, you'd say they're shit and suck your own dicks.

 

[MayauMiao]

 

[Skifi28]

I don't play these kind of games anyway, but that didn't look very appealing. If I saw this footage without knowing it's from Bungie, I probably wouldn't even remember watching it.

Well Destiny 2 plays great still so the controls should be fantastic as they are

But this is not Marathon to me, where the scary horror vibes for example, sure it has the weird cyberpunky thing going on at least but its not what I'd expect from that IP being revived tbh, think of it like this, RE:Verse is not what I want from Resident Evil, same applies here

 

[LordCBH]

Looks sick.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Every day I pray for a new Concord. I think god answered my prayers.

 

[Buggy Loop]

I think GAF is way too down on multiplayer. Look, I have no interest in jumping on this as I've put way too many fucking hours in online FPS in the past and I got fed up, but there's way too many overreactions here. Can't believe I have to say that. The gamer retention stats will tell the story when it releases, I can see it doing just fine. This really does not have the Concord vibe. I bet a lot of FPS streamers will love this.

I would much rather troll James Sawyer Ford and Ponies but even I have limits
