Multiplat Marathon - Bungie's next release

[dwwaino]

There is gameplay reveal on the 13th our time of Bungie's coming PvPvE/extraction shooter. As a long time fan of Destiny I'm interested but I don't think this game will be for me. Still keen to see what it's about though.

Looks shite

These types of games aren't for me.

Why can't they just make a Halo style game with a nice lengthy campaign and pvp multiplayer?

Not particularly a fan of the aesthetics of this after watching the gameplay.

I'm not sure what I watched but it still told me absolutely nothing and everything looked completely shit.

Bungie fell off after Halo, Halo 2 and 3 were their magnum opus. I still play Halo Infinite by 343, even though the ping is terrible for Australia.

People who ran Bungie in the 2000s aren't there anymore, it's a different studio, now.

They need to cater for MY nostalgia.

I just don't care for these types of games. Grind, loot, level up. Rinse and repeat. Live service model. They're soulless.

Halo Infinite in December had a great mode where it was Halo 2 physics and maps. It sucks they got rid of it.

I wasn't too warm on this as it's simply not a genre I'm into, but as a massive Destiny fan (until the last couple years) I was still following this a little just because it was from Bungie. Some of the latest criticisms I weren't sure if they were legitimate or people just complaining that Bungie weren't making the game they wanted them to make. I wasn't ready though for Paul Tassi and Cross to completely write this off. These guys are massive voices in the Destiny community and while Cross hasn't been afraid to give Bungie a whack over the years he tends to show enough restraint as to not lose his playtesting privilege. The stolen art thing I think is being blown up a bit. Sure it's wrong and shows some massive issues internally at Bungie, but it's not a big deal to do a sweep and remove it if it's restricted to decals as it's alleged to be.

long talking head videos, but maybe if anyone wants some background noise to listen to how this game might be a total mess. Cross from 17:28 is on fire though

Without ignoring your entire post, but if you're a massive Destiny fan then shouldn't this be the type of game for you?

No. They're completely different types of games. That's a lot of the criticism from particularly Destiny streamers. The majority of anyone playing this will be Destiny players and it is nothing like Destiny. Meanwhile those who are already into extraction shooters who had access to the play tests have already gone back to their preferred extraction shooters.

What a cluster **** this is. Existential shit

Sony have reportedly cancelled marketing for Marathon. If true it's not sure yet if it's due to stolen art or if it's because the game is going to be delayed.

Marketing For Marathon Has Reportedly Been Cancelled Following Plagiarism Controversy

Things have quickly gone from bad to worse for Marathon.

Cross covers it as well as the paywalled sources that have reported it

I watched some Twitch Destiny 2 streamers (like Stacked, Xalrena and Above) play the beta on stream a little while ago (they were given codes by Bungie that let them access the closed beta).

I've basically stopped playing Destiny 2, and there's no way I'll be playing Marathon. Looked terrible and geared towards a different type of player than the average D2 player.
