TIL that Bungie is releasing a new game.
Although judging by this news and the first sentence on their Steam page being "...Bungie’s team-based extraction shooter.", maybe it's a good thing I can't play their games.
"Bungie is making a new game based on Marathon"
Great, I'm in.
"It's a multi-player extraction shooter"
Nope, I'm out. This smells like a "Prey" situation.
But Prey was actually good.
Prey was sooo good.
Sucks for the people who wanted a continuation of the original tho.
prey 2 was going to be nothing like prey. I'm glad it didn't happen tbh.
It was really good. I just wanted more indigenous themes if they were going to use the Prey name. It was such a disappointment in that respect.
For real, immersive sim fans that haven't played it are missing out. It probably should've had a different name though.
It did at one point, but I think they were forced to change it to Prey at some point in development. It had a “Shock” title to put it in line with System Shock and Bioshock.
That rings a bell now that you mention it. A shock title is so much more fitting!
Believe it was 'Neuroshock'
I had the same reaction to Marathon as well as the new Black Hawk Down.
Im so tried of all these multiplayer games, make a goddamn single player campaign, fuck it add in splitscreen or the ability to play the campaign with friends if you have too
The best thing about Marathon is the shortfilm. Watch that. Then ignore the game.
I watched people play the game and was wondering what the hype was all about. The game looked so dull and boring. The outside of the map looled like a game made by a single dev for his indie game. Only yesterday i watched the short film and was loke: oooooooh, i get it, because they lie.
