    This actually looks like it might be good. That said, I’ve only got a steam deck and I doubt this will run on deck, so I’ll not be playing it.

    I wish they had just made a single player Marathon sequel… oh well. I will definitely give it a shot but confidence is low :(

    Can we stop making everything a huge interconnected online only world? Like I like the visuals and the atmosphere that these previews have given me (I know a lot of it was stolen, but I still like it) but no way in shit does any of that mystery or intrigue come through if I’ve got 3 drunk or high assholes shooting everything that moves with me.

    What is this? It doesn’t even look remotely related to Marathon? Why didn’t they just call it something else then?

      Same thing with the recent “””carmageddon””” game, that basically has fuck all to do with actual Carmageddon.

      I guess it’s easier to get/use the naming rights to a beloved franchise and just hope for customers that way, instead of making an ACTUALLY GOOD GAME.

      Yeah, if they had called it something else I would’ve checked it out. I do like the art style and the world building but…

      It ain’t Marathon.

      “allegedly” you can board the alien spaceship and see the marathon enemies of old as some sort of unlockable raid thing… I saw the floating invisible alien in one of the trailers for about 3/4 of a second… but genuinely why even call it marathon?

        I didn’t say the whole game was stolen. The fact that they stole assets at all is deplorable. Also, this wasn’t the first time they were caught doing that. They’ve been caught stealing artwork for Destiny too. Fuck Bungie.

        the game’s entire art style was based on the artist whose assets were stolen. even if they removed the stolen bits, the entire project is tainted

          The subgrenre of art that this one artist used has existed before that artist even used it.

          No artist “owns” an art style. Imagine if Rembrant claimed to own chiaroscuro. His estate would still be claiming monopoly over the art style, effectively handicapping the progress of art as a whole. Nobody could create art with heavy contrast between light and dark anymore because “thats Rembrant’s style only and nobody else can use it.” As someone with artistic ability, “owning” an art style is the most ricidulous idea in art I have ever heard of.

    This has the makings of another Concord written all over it. Even after the disaster with the stolen art, the reports I’ve heard are that the gameplay just isn’t good. Whatever talent was at Bungie left some time ago by the sounds of things.
