Its gonna be good lads, even if its not what you want
Looks too clean for Marathon. I could buy it if it looked more gritty.
The industry and homosexual journos got so traumatized by the brown and bloom era that they actively deny any ounce of grit in shooters
How do we stop it
Literally pray for a game to do well with it.
holy cherrypicking

Whatll be the MIDA aesthetic? All of their ARG notes are pretty grungy
lookin fresh as frick
this looks interesting, i don't understand the hate.
It doesn't look like anything, a single generic cinematic trailer tells you nothing about the game except the aesthetic they MIGHT be aiming for
It's very likely that this trailer was contracted out to a different company, and we've seen often enough how a game will come out looking very different to its early announcement trailers, so there's no reason to think anything about the game at all
So there's little reason to hate, but there's little reason to be excited either
Just wait and see
Yep, it's by the guys that do the Westworld intro type stuff, so I definitely think the cleanliness of the world been bumped up
Ah well there you go
I am actually intrigued by the game, except I realise that what I'm imagining it might be is purely in my head and there's zero reason to think it'll be anything like what I want it to be
So I'm not excited about it
It’s an extraction shooter. Hard pass
what is an extraction shooter?
they drain your balls through an iv before you cum
No gameplay. I literally don't care about any game until I see gameplay now. Including MGS
It is because every single extraction game studio thus far is indie tier garbage. The genre has a bad rap because of it. DMZ in COD is the only real one and Activision is shit. This will be the first AAA extraction shooter officially so a lot of people are jaded it will be a flop filled with hackers. I'll wait for the gameplay reveal. If the gunplay is good and the item system is good and there are no hackers I can see this game taking off.
tarkov clone cashing in on the name
Might surprise you but Tarkov is a niche game with a minuscule playerbase. Most people that play extraction modes in modern games never heard of it.
>minuscule playerbase
The game has 250k-400k players when big patches drop.
I'd rather play Tarkov. Pure realism is better than a lazy, plagiarized aesthetic.
I enjoy Tarkov too but the Marathon trailer looked cool. It was very unique, hopefully in game looks similar to the trailer when gameplay is released.
Tarkov needs to go back and update the core of the game. I shouldn't have to sit and wait an additional 5 minutes because other people's slow ass computers. Its fricking annoying. When my queue is a minute long, I load the loot and loot pools, I am good to go. 5+ minute of waiting on these fricking potatoes is usually why I quit a wipe. Tarkov has a massive issue of getting people into matches.
Ontop of that, you just have the same boring ass questing which you need to do for reputation and level requirements on traders to get decent mods/ammo.
I agree, it's tedious as frick. That's why I use a single player mod, and have everything unlocked from the start. I like the firearms, and the combat.
>Tarkov needs to go back and update the core of the game.
They quite literally are doing that actually.
>Ontop of that, you just have the same boring ass questing
Every single quest in the game right now is a sidequest. They are releasing the main qests on launch so stream/youtube gays don't map out the whole thing and have guides.
> I shouldn't have to sit and wait an additional 5 minutes because other people's slow ass computers.
Never understood this complaint. I play on NA West servers and the longest I waited during peak hours on a brand new wipe was 6 minutes and after that I got in within 4 minutes. Take your Ritalin or some shit.
>raise players in a raid over time to 60
Unless the combined map is happening with those patches I don't see how a single map could even go to 20 without breaking down because of spawn points.
> I play on NA West servers and the longest I waited during peak hours on a brand new wipe was 6 minutes and after that I got in within 4 minutes.
This is a game where hackers or spawn rushers can end you in a minute. Especially on more unoptimized maps with longer loading like Reserve or Lighthouse, dying because oh I checked these 6 angles but I missed this 7th one and died. Like Dark and Darker, queue into gameplay is like 60 seconds total. On a 5800x3D+3080+M.2 NVME I should be into matches fricking quick, but poorgays get me stuck waiting 5+ minutes for no reason.
Honestly this is why I am glad Bungie and some others are leaning into persistent servers. Tarkov couldn't do that because the way the existing economy/loot spots work but being able to queue into a map and right into a gameplay will be a godsend.
>dying because oh I checked these 6 angles but I missed this 7th one and died.
Every time. Not the games fault you die all the time
Is that the stats of this wipe? I haven't logged into the game in like 3 months and I was a higher level than that. I usually just go super fricking hard for a month and quit because I get my PVP enjoyment, my Hideout can do bitcoin 2 and I hit LVL4 with Jaeger as a standardgay so I move onto other shit
Those are my stats this wipe, I stopped playing 2 weeks in.
>level 40
>2 weeks
neet?
>neet
Yeah but I have been playing since 2017 so I am very efficient
whyd you stop so early?
Depends on what they add too the wipe content wise. When I realized that Lightkeeper would take forever to unlock and Streets is just the first part I will just wait for another release/big patch.
Don't you see that being a problem, where people will grind for 2-4 weeks and quit the wipe? Something at Tarkov's core is fricked when people don't want to play a full wipe/season. Armor/bullet balance, mods vs gun platform balance, actual queue/load times, map design etc.
Tarkov is at the top where PUBG was, but aren't doing anything just like PUBG failed to do to stay ahead of the pack. I want Bungie to do something not-Tarkov, because then it might be good.
Not him but I work a 9-5 tier job and do it in 4 weeks. When you know the quests, and the specific ones that wienerblock, its easy to get levels once you pass them. They are trying to frick with people, like the machinery key shit this wipe.
>Don't you see that being a problem, where people will grind for 2-4 weeks and quit the wipe? Something at Tarkov's core is fricked when people don't want to play a full wipe/season. Armor/bullet balance, mods vs gun platform balance, actual queue/load times, map design etc.
I mean the game is still in development and the quests are all sidequests currently. I have played ~16 wipes and it is the same story every time, the game just doesn't have a proper end game currently. Has nothing to do with what you listed. I am an outlier because I have played for so long and grind all the shit in 2 weeks but most people it takes 2 months.
>Not him but I work a 9-5 tier job and do it in 4 weeks.
Okay, may i ask, you work in a game company?
Wagie overnight retail store, I make 17.66USD after being here for only a year though which is nice.
That makes me happy 🙂 and if you have some fun at work, that's good.
Unfortunately, I don't know the conditions in the USA, i.e. what the salaries are like there or life index costs etc. But, for example, here in Germany the minimum wage is €12 (required by law).
If you haven't seen the enemy in a while, look behind you. I'm up, he sees me, I'm down. You ever try 7.62 high calibre? It's pretty decent if you have the patience for it. Pic rel is the arsenal.

Ganker is pretending they were all huge fans of some obscure 90s FPS.

I’ve been a Marathon fan years before Mandalore opened the floodgates
subs like this can come to a general consensus too you fricking idiot. currently it's a kneejerk response to some mediocre shooter (which not even source ports can save) getting a reboot, which will probably be 1000x more competent than whatever the original trilogy was anyways.
>subs
You HAVE TO go back.
>like this can come to a general consensus too you fricking idiot.
Confirmation bias isn't consensus, it's your delusion.
>You HAVE TO go back.
make me:)
the consensus of this sub is basically bungie dragged some 'bewuuved FPS from the grave and killed it'. if you guys took 5 minutes to actually play it, youd know it was just mediocrity known for some sperg to flex his writing skills and not much else.
You’re a fricking moron. Marathon is a genuinely good shooter
You're a fricking moron. Marathon is a genuinely subpar shooter with devs who have IQs in the double digits.
I sure do fricking love a lack of a manual reload, pseud platforming with no fricking jump button and floaty physics, slow combat that barely manages to be above fricking Wolfenstein, and ugly ass levels that are endless corridors and elevators.
cant forget the lack of a perspective correction too!
>Why does everyone hate it
>It's an extraction shooter
>Oh that's just Ganker pretending they're a fans of some shit
Why are you trannies always so obsessed with misrepresenting what's actually happening? Only a handful of people even give a shit about marathon, it's a garbage genre from a washed up studio, that's all there is to it. Also there's no such thing as "Ganker is", you've spent too much time on reddit eating their propaganda shit. Ganker is full of individuals with different opinions you fricking moron.
>i don't understand the hate.

You may be moronic.
It's just mentally ill boombooms, ignore them
It's fricking Bungie, you can't trust them to do anything right anymore
the trailer looks really interesting all the way up to he gets shot by a generic sniper and it zooms out to a generic multiplayer squad looking around and than it zooms out further the game takes place in a generic grassy field with ugly gray buildings despite showing you the really fricking cool marathon ship.
all that shit was set dressing to disuguise the fact it really is just another multiplayer extraction shooter, i don't even know why it bothered to flash a S'pht
>i don't even know why it bothered to flash a S'pht
Because in extraction shooters you fight AI as well as players, and the AI are gonna be S'pht/Pfhor
i was confused about the marathon ship, its a long boi but the marathon was a fat boi
The Marathon is getting recycled by the ship that is going through it, a new generation UESC colony ship
okay so their entire visual theme is the past getting destroyed by their new invasive bullshit
blatant, overt cultural vandalism
What did you expect? The devs are deranged, which is evident in their transvestism. Truly Weimar-esque.
the sad thing is they probably think they're being subtle and clever

He only gets released from his cage when pete parsons wants a new IP. After 6 months of setting up the team and idea he gets put abck
No Jason Jones? What is he even doing at Bungie these days anyway?
It's like a marathon to the extraction point
I've only seen the trailer and haven't played the games but the trailer didn't look much like Marathon from the 90s. Did the trailer give Marathon vibes for you fans?
nope
No. It looks interesting, but has no similiarities with Marathon.
It being GaaS garbage is even more worrysome.
It’s not GaaS, moron
They already confirmed season passes moron
Outside of the S'pht and the Marathon itself, not really.
The ARG that's been going on on the other hand has been nailing the vibe.

maybe teh dipshit devs should have combat beyond the level of Doom. or they could have implemented more enemy types over 'clipart that shoots projectiles'
Doom is literally the same shit
It did. It has the se mysterious feeling of Marathon that it had back in the 90's too
>fans
there is no marathon fans
there are they're just obscure but after this I think people will be more inclined to play the games But with that being said its not like we can just ignore the fact that they most certainly did butcher the artstyle from the original trilogy.
>Ooh my hecking original art style
Even on release marathon was considered butt ugly
Do you think that’s my problem? No, it’s how it’s a fricking extraction shooter instead of a singleplayer story FPS
Anon the story was told through terminals that were entirely optional. I like the story, but the execution was awful.
Modern Bungie doesn't have writers anyway, they couldn't rewrite marathon if they tried.
They have the best artists in the industry, and their gameplay is extremely decent. But their business models are predatory and writers are Disney+ marvel phase 4 tier. I wouldn't want them attempting anything complex.
Do you think I fricking care. Singleplayer mode or bust

Theyve been working on this for 4-5 years, it's gonna have way more refinement than any of the other Tarkov knock offs that have come out since.
Get ready for the death of the Console Cursor, since everyone will end up copying whatever this does
Working on a game for too long is a bit of a red flag. "Matter" has been a thing of theirs in the background for 3ish years, and remember it was originally Tencent they cut a deal with. That apparently fizzled with no real reports and then Sony bought them out entirely. We still don't even know if the Marathon reboot and Matter are the same thing.
They are the same game you stupid, stop perpetuating this lie that Bungie are holding out on something else because they're not. The description that Luke Smith gave for Matter fits what they showed in Marathon.
I'm not saying they're holding out, but the concept art for Matter was clearly not in the Marathon universe, not even this reboot, so whatever it used to be must've been folded in to a recognizable IP.
Witch Queen was not that good. The campaign tries to make you believe you're some investigator piecing together a puzzle and it's just "wait a minute, that card..." tier. Savathun is wasted but it's ok because through plot convenience she can be resurrected whenever they want her back, just like Eramis. In fact, the only reason we kill her is because she has a massive woman moment when she learns the truth which. The lucent hive are underutilized, hive having access to light would've been mind-blowing in D1 but here everyone shrugs it off, only one type is featured in one strike, and they're immediately forgotten about. The balance that Beyond Light had finally tuned just right by it's last two seasons was immediately tossed aside, light 3.0 took more than it gave.
>I'm not saying they're holding out, but the concept art for Matter
Have you seen the concept art for Destiny or even Halo for that matter? the final product resembles nothing. Marathon is Bungie's first new game in almost a decade so I cant imagine they're very enthusiastic on having to live up to Halo or Destiny. and before you say
>"bUt WhAt DiD tHeY dO fOr 5 yEaRs???"
the answer is nothing, bungie did nothing they have a profitable source of income and its likely that Jason Jones was sat in the back writing the code for whatever gimmick marathon will have just like the way he worked on drop in drop out cooperative multiplayer for destiny all the way back in 2008.
Anon they literally said that Matter was going to take place in Marathon's universe in like 2021. We've known this information for years now.
Matter has been canceled internally
Matter was always Marathon. They just rebranded it after Sony bought them out of the Tencent deal.
Lol no dumbass, you don’t know shit
They started marathon and matter in unreal4. Matter was a Minecraft wannabe while marathon was a crew of destiny dev who are tired of making destiny and wanted to make their own little incubation.
Ultimately matter moved to Unity while they reeled back marathon to be done with tiger engine.
Matter started off like Minecraft where you can harvest and deform terrain (voxel), and later on because the diversity hire wanted to turn it into more child like and more like Roblox, the project saw lots of thrash and was canceled internally. Leaving marathon the only candidate to have an announcement.

oo
Is Destiny 2 playable for a new player?
no
It's neither bad nor good.
You're bombarded with "buy this and that" and you're overwhelmed with content but that's about it.
Tutorial is not great but fine, old guns can be bought on daily rotation and price is not that expensive if you take it at a discount or change steam region.
It all comes down to whether you like core gameplay or not, so just try it out and decide for yourself.
Would I understand the story with only the newest dlc?
Absolutely not. Also last dlc literally has no story and basically a filler.
I played for the most of destiny 2 life (except for 1 expansion) and still didn't get the full story without a youtube video.
But I wouldn't say it's bad as it's pretty self-contained and pretty great once you understand basics. But it's certainly a shame that new players can't get a taste of Felwinter or Drifter story in game.
They removed content from original game and first two expansions and half of the third one 3 years ago. They also remove seasonal shit every year.
They promised to stop with it and start bringing back old shit but who knows. Just adding old season ativities and raids as they were just won't work considering how much game has changed.
Thanks for your input fren. I might try it out.
I'll attempt to tell you the story. I've watched a video for it 5 or so years ago.

Hиггep
Didn't they remove a shit ton of content?
yeah
its too stressful, the developers hate solo players.
So they deliberately make the game impossible without other players.
They then make every challenge in the game like a mario party puzzle, you have to do with a group of strangers coordinated perfectly.
Any feeling of achievement is tinged with this stressful anxious feeling. Like being trapped down a cold mine.
oh did i forget to mention these "raids" take 6-10 hrs for some
Cold mine for 6 hrs.
>these "raids" take 6-10 hrs for some
What the frick.
They are the most moronic thing ever.
Shooting skill doesnt matter, your gear doesn't matter.
What matters is getting randoms to follow instructions play novelty games and perform them perfectly. An almost impossible act.
6-10 hrs for some
Cold mine for 6 hrs.
This is the biggest and most tone deaf lie that I have ever seen. Raids do not take this long, if you're in a team that's taking this long then you should probably leave because they're either really bad or they're not even fully aware of how to do mechanics.
This guy regrets playing Destiny because he didn't build his career around the game, look at his channel lmao he's spent more time probably talking about mario 64.

Monkey's Paw
The live-service model makes them way too much money compared to a conventional release. No way they'd go back to proper single-player when they're one of the few companies that have had lasting success with GaaS. Unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Have faith in bungie, they are masters at creating kino fps games.

I really dig the art direction but extraction shooters are gay. Tarkov only kind of gets away with in spite of it's format, when the appeal is the sheer amount of milsim autism.
I’d be okay with this if it was a fricking singleplayer game
imagine the revolutionary thing of a singleplayer game with optional multiplayer
Yeah, like Halo Infinite
Imagine the revolutionary thing of launching a complete game.
Like Destiny.
I don't really get the hate I've seen online?
I thought it was one of the more interesting trailers shown and the premise sounds fun. People seem really hung up on the fact that it's based on an existing IP that hasn't been touched in like 25 years, 99% of people seething about this game have never and will never play the original Marathon games
How come shill threads aren't against the rules?
People talking about video games on the video game board isn't shilling.
People talking about things you don't like isn't shilling either.
Most of the threads are bots and hiro knows it drives traffic. The website has been going through a lot of financing issues lately including direct attacks from inviduals who do not like Hiro. He needs all the views and clicks he can get. Which is why shilling is okay.

LGBTQIAPP BLM SAH devs
I've played a lot of Bungie era Halo and Destiny 1/2 but to tell the truth I dont find this even remotely interesting. For one its just an extraction shooter so they're already bunkering down on that hill with commitment and it'll likely have a worse live service model than Destiny so I simply am not interested in the genre or their model.
Its a real shame too since Marathon was actually good so watching them make a spin off that supposed to take place in that particular universe and then they just use the actual name of the series just seems very out of the ordinary for Bungie seeing that they typically create new IPs. I'm still not convinced, if the game is legitimately just an extraction shooter with phor and compiler's sprinkled around then its easily a hard pass. People want a single player game with multiplayer.
All this talent being wasted on a Tarkov clone is just sad. Why are videogames like this?
wat
It's a ghost from inside the Traveler
Bungie's Destiny is basically great art and interesting scifi, wasted in a multiplayer live service game.
Marathon is going to be the same.
To use a food metaphor its like being given a nice cake and told you can't eat it.
I just wanted to read more terminals.
thats $35 for the terminal pass
They talked about adding a narrative in the background, so I imagine they'll throw in terminals or something
>run up to terminal to read it
>get shot by someone third partying it
Great, that'll be a lot of fun. I'll have so much fun reading the Destiny 2-tier lore while looking over my back every 2 seconds until some Chinese hacker mows me down from another room.
Great. Thanks.
>read terminal
>get killed by another player
That's exactly why this can be a PvPvE game, they don't need to put in cutscenes, they can just use terminals
you are either a reader or a runner
That's a lot of people I don't like working on a singular project... hmm, this will not end well.
They're not capable of making an Extraction Shooter because for 1. Bungie have a everyone gets a trophy mentality and in a game where you can just straight up camp "Extract points" or play like absolutely dickheads is problematic to the way they design their games and 2. extract shooters are a on slow decline
This is without a doubt the biggest problem with the game and why everyones so critical. Extract shooters are not very popular, they blew up for a while but in truth no one's really interested because normies do not want to spend long periods of time looting items and doing boring fetch quests or defend x for 5 minutes when I can just boot up WarZone and Fortnite and just play, that mentality is why people play League and CSGO because you can just play without having to worry about anything else.
And this is the thing about Escape from Tarkov, battle state games were not creating something for a casual audience and its possibly the most refined extract shooter on the market so much so that inspired Infinity Ward to make DMZ but DMZ fricking sucks badly. This is the problem with this new game, they are confined to making something that's supposed to have a level of brutality and unforgiveness for a very casual audience, that is not ending well so either going to have to sacrifice the integrity of their game design for the sake of making it easier or make the game what it should be and risk it not being populated.
O wow
A whole game centered around a single gimmick mode made from Destiny assets. We are so back Bungie-bros!
Destiny 2 is a cult, a cult that just requires $1000 dollars to join
Must be a sleepy cult, I cannot play destiny without speedrunning into a coma.
*A monthly fee of $1000
if the maps are vertical I will play the game
if the maps are horizontal I will not play the game
omfg verticality yes reddit!
have a nice day
Does a game like that exist? Sounds pretty cool
probably not. stacking gives you huge density which means to keep players far enough apart your map will end up with like 8x the geometry of a flat map. there's that one Halo CE map where you can teleport between a left and right side and it's almost completely vertical. also the ONI building in reach is like 3 or 4 levels and fairly square
i could see them adding a TDM mode after release, or before if enough people are vocal about how they dont like extraction shooters. i dont think theyll release the game and then abandon it, it'll probably get a LOT of updates similar to destiny
CYBERPUNK
ATMOSPHERIC
KINO
I imagine it's going to play a lot like that Titanfall 2 mode, but more randomized loot shenanigans.
Get Craig Mullins and Greg Kirkpatrick in. Then maybe, I could give it a chance despite it being GaaS trash.
FROM THE CREATORS OF THE GUYS THAT STOOD NEXT TO THE GUYS THAT MADE HALO
To anyone pissed about the new "Marathon"
Play from launch and get yourself immortalized as someone who absolutely hates everything that's happened.
If they're enabling individuals to become immortalized in the game itself - you might as well let your spite and anger be known.
Become the absolute best of the best - not out of joy or adapting with the times but because of how fricking much you hate how things have turned out.
Let the whole space know just how bad things have become.
Go rampant.
Saw a youtube comment saying Marathon was more influential than Deus Ex. Lol
mate, fricking mouse look, that alone arguably makes it more influential than Deus Ex without getting into any game design.
???? Doom had mouselook
no it didn’t
Straight from the 1993 manual. Refute this.
looks like i wasn’t completely correct, still i stand by my point that introducing vertical mouse look alone makes Marathon potentially more influential than Deus Ex.
Nice job backpeddling on your hill right there. Marathon's mouse vertical mouse look wasn't influencial because by the time it came literally 20 other doom clones did so too.
>Marathon's mouse vertical mouse look wasn't influencial because by the time it came literally 20 other doom clones did so too.
gonna need to source that one mate
Freelook was already becoming more and more of a thing. Heretic was released at almost the exact same time, literally days apart and had freelook. It would have come with or without Marathon
That’s fair, I’ll ease off the point I was pushing but all I’m saying is for helping in popularise free look a person could make the argument of Marathon being just as influential if not more than Deus Ex.
Nope
Doom had mouselook. Marathon, however, did introduce vertical look.
>Marathon
Should've called it Snickers
So how are they gonna monetize this?
Season passes obviously, but will they just be cosmetics in the pass? At which point you don't know what armor the enemies wearing (though maybe there won't even be armor)
Expansions for a different map?
I genuinely wouldn't have that much of a problem with this new Marathon game if it looked like this.
>gets punched
>dies
what the frick was their problem?
They got punched by a cybernetic schizophrenic
you'd die too if it was cybord achilles with a 40mph running start
i love androidarts, his cover for battalion wars was baller
>the schizo doom gay is itt
Marathon was leagues more advanced than Doom
What are you talking about? Literally the only reason I brought it up was to objectively correct someone's assumption, nothing else.
no Marty no buy
Imagine a timeline where we actually got a Marathon reboot that was faithful to the original games? Singleplayer + multiplayer and forge
It's impossible, not because exec won't allow it, but because Jason Jones would probably see it at as a step backwards.
The guy's a genius but he's also the reason we'll never get a SP Bungie game again
they could have just made a "spiritual successor" to Halo and dunk on 343. I'm not even upset about the headline MP feature being an extraction shooter I'm upset it's just an extraction shooter.
I know Halo is the successor already to OGMarathon, but ReMarathon being a successor to both would have been fesible.
To tell the truth I just cant get into the new Marathon. I play Halo and Destiny, arguably more Destiny these days but Marathon just looks so generic and the genre is just not something I'm into. For as much as I would like to see Bungie throw their hand into a new type of game I just really think they jumped the shark with this one.
>Knowing [Destiny] was in peril with his proposed reboot of the story, Jones formed a group called the "Iron Bar" composed of art director Christopher Barrett, designer Luke Smith and writer Eric Raab
>art director Christopher Barrett
well that explains why the art design is great, but also does not inspire any confidence at all in the narrative, the guy directed Destiny expansions ffs.
>Luke Smith
Whats bungies obsession with hiring morons from blizzard and in particular wow?
These people are idiots
I will ONLY accept this shit if they give Mjolnir Recon 54 the respect he deserves
To clarify all the complaints about controverisal visuals change.
Runners are not members of Marathon crew nor Tau Ceti colony denizens.
Runners are part of UESC and MIDA(although they changed name), they came to Tau Ceti colony from Solar System either after receiving Leela's message after about a century or they came to Tau Ceti after Durandal returned to Earth with the gift of alien technology as it was shown at the end of Marathon 1. Either way, it wouldn't make sense
to see the same gritty primitive technologies as in the first games, considering time passed since Marathon vessel launch (300 - 400 years) and possible usage of alien technology resulted in rapid technological advancement. Official promo site states the game will be set in 2850, so it makes it 500 years since Marathon launch,
Although, I will admit, this change is quite radical atmosphere-wise. I hope game would be not so vibrant and flamboyant and devs just went all-in in trailer(in terms of presentation), but I am still skeptical about it.
Does it look like I care
I wonder why no one whined about "oooh muh artstyle and vibes" when nu-Dooms were announced.
because it was still an arena single player fps. nMARATHON isn't dickhead. its the worst of both worlds.
They 1000% did. The initial response to Doom 2016 wasn't the most positive
>Its gonna be good lads
doubt. the vidoc they released sounded beyond moronic.
>it's a shooter with an envolving gameplay
>you can play ANYWAY you want there's endless possibilities
>so I was extracting with someone and they started to shoot me, so I downed them, and then let them live. because that was my choice in how I wanted to play the game.
>so I was about to leave with a prime artifact piece, but my gut told me to wait, and the next thing I know there's a shootout with another team in the building next to mine, so I stayed where I was. it was so AMAZING
How do we expose how low people’s standards are
Lead - Jonathon Goff(been over at Destiny for a while, can't find specifics)
What is he doing on that game? It doesn't have any story campaign. Writing flavor text for each map?
There's not a straightforward campaign but they've been pretty clear there's a narrative going on from season to season. Just look at everything in the ARG.
Terminals are 100% going to return
>Terminals are 100% going to return
So when do you read them? Or are they seriously expecting players to read them while in a match?
Probably give you the option to either download them for between runs as well as read them mid-match
>A reboot of a single-player trilogy
>PvP
>Dumping players into a field rather than making individual levels
>Narrative behind seasonal content
>Written by the developers responsible for Lightfall
Is it really so difficult for these devs to just make a singleplayer game?
who said it is a reboot? It may be a spin-off or sequel as well.
>Written by the developers responsible for Lightfall
I honestly believe there was no writers for lightfall.
They just took old cut and postponed ideas and that was it.
>Written by the developers responsible for Lightfall
Its clearly not, Lightfall is probably where all the new writers get stuck. All the old heads moved to Marathon after Witch Queen/Final Shape were written, as Bungie has always done with "new" IP.
>Is it really so difficult for these devs to just make a singleplayer game?
As long as Jason Jones is at the company? Yes.
Its kinda funny that he's been the guy at Bungie the longest but is also the one stopping Bungie from making what people want
>Is it really so difficult for these devs to just make a singleplayer game?
Yes, I genuinely believe that it's difficult for them to make one.
It’s all because of graphics these days. If we just stopped pouring billions into that shit and focused on actually making a game we’d have a good one
only gameplay will show if bungie is back or if destiny finished them off
That they're making yet another online shooter out of this is maybe for the best. I don't think Bungie has any people left who know how to make a good singleplayer game.
so how many wh40k gays already seethed about how " reeee Marathon stole T'au insignia"?
It didn’t
Nobody gives a shit.
And if anyone cared they would complain earlier as it was in destiny 2 30th anniversary of bungie.
just you
I don't think there's an intersection between W40K gays and Marathon oldgays
>Its gonna be good lads,
>Vidoc took all of two seconds before they started spamming pronouns
It's gonna be shit just like everything nu-bungie has touched in the past fricking decade.
> spamming pronouns
Ew, really? I’m out.
>Its gonna be good lads, even if its not what you want
Manager - Scott Taylor (D2 Forsaken lead)
Lead - Jonathon Goff(been over at Destiny for a while, can't find specifics)
As though this is supposed to be a good thing? Destiny devs are fricking garbage destiny is a shit game and the only redeeming quality is the music. Marathon DOES have a sweet looking art style I will admit that, but Bungie cannot into good gameplay since Halo 3/Reach.
I'm a moron with too many tabs open
>narrative
>in an extraction shooter
Kek, can't wait to be told I have to drop into the same anarchist zone to collect supplies for the good guys a billion times.
Were some of these made by an AI?
Why the frick would UESC send a bunch of troony runners instead of 7 Mjolnir Mark IV Cyborgs.
>promise the mentally ill you can truly turn them into women
>the caveat is that they get dropped with no support in some remote place light years away to collect alien tech for you
>free manpower, big profit, no more mentally ill in your solar system
Because why not?
its explained in the ARG
OH NO NO NO NO NO POSERSISTERS WHAT DO WE DO??? NU-MARATHON IS CANON
I DOWNLOADED 2 TB IF ARTWORKS AND WEBMS TO PRETEND I WAS A MARATHON FAN
What the frick are you talking about
Bettleroids are considered WMDs why would they bring those to a disaster relief effort, bad pr for the UESC which was tussling with rebels taking over mars around when the marathon left
they just share the names, those cyborgs arent battleroids but the colonists wouldnt know about that, the roids were put on ice rather than discontinued. they have special rules of engagement in case of an actual war its a no go to bring them unless you want to project power to the nth degree
So to prevent the mission from looking militaristic in nature (which it is). they send in clones rather than Cyborgs.
makes sense from a gameplay perspective because 1 cyborg would be enough to kill everything and everyone in the colony. sending 2 units of them would be an extreme overkill.
Although this implies that Mjolnir battledroid units are still in active development, Im probably wrong but didn't they get discontinued prior to the events of the first Marathon due to how fricking dangerous they are?
unless the war with the aliens did reach the solar system and they brought back the cyborgs to wage war against them.
They’re reusable superweapons.
Although I think SO is canonically stronger than the others
SO was a Mk IV, these guys being referred to are MK VII-IX so they definitely furthered development
I still think he’s much stronger
He's lucky like John 117, plus there's that comment that he was grafted to machines his makers did not understand. And I'm sure by the end of M2:Durandal that he's had some touch up work done.
He’s absolutely not lucky, he’s just really good at killing things
>Nick Land
The Officer is one of my favorite protagonists if just for how unhinged he is
he probably is, some theory crafters interpret he got jjaro hardware in his skull as a special modification
I don't think that's the case.
He's just a battleroid who's abnormally good at killing things and then somehow got intertwined with this shit
Did you forget the end of marathon infinity or what. SO is arguably powerlevel tier, depending on how much you want to differentiate him from the player in the meta narrative.
>one marine, more skilled than the rest
So they’re not even giving him the respect he deserves
If you believe Tycho (and I don't blame if you if you don't) all 9 other cyborgs in Tau Ceti were killed by the Pfhor in the original timeline. So they're powerful, but not enough to stop advanced aliens.
Yeah, the Security Officer is 100% a cut above the rest with this revelation
the security officer is truly a war machine to have achieved all he did by himself, physically speaking that is.
I do hope that this pvp marathon game will have all or if not, most of the enemy races of the original games.
having to just face compilers would be very boring on the long run, just a bunch of running around until you face 1 compiler or a bunch of players per game.
I hope they treat him as untouchable by a Runner
This is a season-based game, so I think overtime more will be revealed. I don't expect the Pfhor to immediately be present, but they'll likely arrive as the game continues. There are also other species that are often talked about in the games that you never get to actually meet, such as the Nar who were the first sentient species. There's a lot of cool lore to explore.
If they don't bring up the Nar I'll be happy
Security Officer is something else entirely. If they don't allude to a Battleroid who's beyond all others but mysteriously fricked off, I'll riot.
You know I'm really starting to believe some of these ancient politicians claiming videogames are causing school shootings.
Like I don't think little timmy is gonna go out and shoot up a school if he plays doom or quake, but it's like EVERY. FRICKING. GAME. coming out these days HAS TO have PVP. Zoomers have basically been growing up with the notion ingrains into them at a very subliminal level that killing each other is the default way to settle differences.
I'm getting tired of 9/10 announced games these days being or having some form of PVP. We're full force into the age of broadband connectivity and the best most of these worthless devs can think to use it for is PVP.
Isn’t bungie like super-woke now?
Their senior environment Artist on marathon made a troony porn. CEO was all in on BLM. The place is lost with no redeeming values.
I remember playing Marathon. It had iconic sound effects for everything and The aliens exploded into green goo even when you killed them with a handgun
How do you have narrative in a hamster wheel multiplayer game
by disrupting the gameplay with obnoxious ingame events that people will run off aline to do and then quit immediately when they've done it
I’m sick of how people are just rolling over with this shit. Marathon was a singleplayer experience first.
It's called GROWING UP. It's called MATURING.
>He thinks this is maturing
This is a complete step backwards. It’s inferior to the original in every single conceivable way
Good goy
Enjoy our slop
the mature thing to do in this day and age is make singleplayer experiences. Multiplayer ones are the safe, often juvenile games.
Indeed
It did have a very vibrant multiplayer (see vidmasters) but you are correct.
On that note, if they really gave a shit about the multiplayer legacy of the Marathon series then they'll need to include the 5D space aspect, which made the multiplayer levels a bit of a mindfrick at times.
https://marathongame.fandom.com/wiki/5-D_space_(Level)
>'the final shape' in Destiny has already been leaked as the collapsing of all times and space into each other
>Durandal interpreted the moon in the creation myth from Marathon 2 as a moon that could fold space
I wish Destiny wasn't a fricking dumpster fire narratively, because the lore seems cool and sounds like the Bungie rabbit hole is potentially going to go deeper.
What do I need to know in the story before jumping in?
What expansions are worth picking up?
>What do I need to know in the story before jumping in?
The game sucks and you should play anything else.
Just play for a while.
You have enough stuff to try out and unlock.
It clearly shows which expansion unlocks what and gives you some sample so decide for yourself.
>What do I need to know in the story before jumping in?
The story is shit, the lore is pretty cool, and if you get into the lore you'll either like or hate the story more.
Most of the story is literally unplayable, such as
>Destiny 2 Launch / The Red War
>Warmind
>Osiris's DLC whatever idk
>Forsaken
>15 seasons of narrative content over the years completely unplayable and unlikely to return at all
so Destiny will always require Youtube recaps to fill in the gaps narratively.
>What expansions are worth picking up?
go to g2a and buy the 'Destiny 2 Legacy Collection (2023)' it'll cover you for 3 expansions.
You picked the worst expansion in the game's history to jump in, anon
You have literally been locked out of content no matter how much money you give them.
>What do I need to know in the story before jumping in?
Durandal(or any AI for that matter) did nothing wrong
Which one was the guy with the acrylic nails?
Name everything recent those fossils made, not something decades ago alongside teams that long stopped existing and were replaced by diversity hires
Look marketing team, I get it. But you don't get that you could have called this anything else but MARATHON and it'd be fine (though it should have just been set during the Martian wars). I suppose outrage bait of the old fans is worth the risk to draw attention, but you could have named it just about anything else and it'd have been fine. Instead you just fricked our last hope of seeing a true sequel or reimagining of the Marathon series. Durandal deserves better.
>yfw they get gianni to do durandal's voice
Please don’t let Based Durandal get tainted by this slop
I don't know who that is but I hope to fricking god they leave Durandal out of this.
Wouldn't make sense, Super Durandal is either back in Earth or somewhere out in the universe.
Bungie likes meta, Destiny is already an alternative timeline to OGMarathon with the split occurring at an unknown point. Durandal has a fricked time/space power level and Security Officer is Dr Manhatten of murder, I would be more surprised if any references to the original series let alone Durandal himself are limited by linear time.
It's of course plausible for Durandal to show up in any number of ways in a Bungie title (I kept waiting for it to happen in the Halo series), but that doesn't mean it's a good idea at all for a extraction shooter of all things. He should be part of a major SP campaign if he's to come back.
>but that doesn't mean it's a good idea at all for a extraction shooter of all things
I think it would be pretty cool as an ending to a larger quest/arg chain.
have a nice day
No
>(I kept waiting for it to happen in the Halo series)
Have you seen how 'Alex Casey'/Legally Not-Max Payne is in Alan Wake 2? I'm certain that if Bungie owned the legal rights to Halo we would have seen some insane shit.
There is a non 0 chance that this new game will have a character who is a PfhorRunner
I know, it's painful. Bungie has compromised itself though with all the shit they've pulled on their fans with Destiny, when appreciation of their fans was their cornerstone for so long before. I've lost faith in them as a company and Jones as a visionary.

Only boomers will have a problem with this, I am excited for it. I can't wait to see what dances they will sell in the store, I really hope they'll sell some Marvel skins too!
The fact that I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic with how brain damaged people these days are scares me
>Its gonna be good lads
No it won't.
All fricking trannies should fricking hang.
>Its gonna be good lads, even if its not what you want
You know what, maybe you're right. Bungie may not be the same studio they were back in the day but that doesn't mean they can't make a good game. Let's take a look at what they've done in the last ten years.
>Destiny
>Destiny 2
That's not so great, but third times the charm right?
>GAAS extraction shooter
Sorry, I'm not falling for that. Three strikes you're out.
You forgot to mention the senior producer.
A senior producer
A senior environment artist
Senior in this context essentially means they've been working at any company in that role for more than 3 years, but you neets on Ganker don't understand that, they just them to show face. There'll be like 10 people with the same role
According your post, you are familiar with in the field game companys and workers / devs?
>She / Her
Bungie is lost.
that's the new svastika of our times
Playing TotK having a ton of fun with the physics, sitting here wondering why Bungie abandoned the physics sandbox approach of the Halo games.
Bungie as a company lost me with Destiny.
Halo as a series lost me with 343i not being able to into good art or storytelling.
Zelda of all things is taking their place.
CYBERKINO IS BACK ON THE MENU
it's literally a battle royale game, jesus christ what is wrong with you lame morons
does hunt: showdown count as an 'extraction' shooter?
never played one of these games, but heard a lot of good things about hunt
Yes it does.
Kino concept and we need to see more of that
i just want them to put it on a damn free weekend so i can try it out before i buy
The game is f2p
Then the player is the product. No fricking sale.
talking about hunt
>It's gonna be good
No Greg Kirkpatrick as lead writer. No fricking sale.
>extraction shooter
It's going to be shit no matter what you say.
These shills wouldn't bother me so much if they didn't feel the need to put down the originals to sell their tarkov clone.

just play community created scenarios they are all pretty good
Same. I got the original on fricking floppy disk just a few months after initial release. Shit was great.
Agreed. People just go all "Ummm play the original instead."
Like we shouldn't ask the creators to do better
>they put another troony in their video
Obsessed but unironically.
>No campaign
I do not give a frick, even though I really want to. I have been keeping a tab on post-Microsoft bungie ever since their contract with Activision stipulated them getting to make a Marathon game after Destiny, which was a letdown since the story was clearly on the backburner in relation to the borderlands looter shooter, games as a service mechanics. I thought, "Okay, the Destiny games were a flop as far as Bungie making a narrative focused series like Halo. But at least once they get to reboot Marathon they can return to their roots!" I thought wrong. Unfortunate too, I was completely out of the loop with the Sony showcase, and seeing the reveal trailer was a very pleasant surprise. Until I found out it was a PvP only extraction shooter. I don't even dislike extraction games, I just want Bungie to make another fricking story oriented franchise without a ton of grindy fluff.
Yes, but their one good writer (Kirkpatrick) is retired. Bungie sans Kirkpatrick is like LOTR without Tolkien.
I checked the Discord. People there are honestly fricking lapping it up. I'm fuming
I mean, I'll probably play it even though it's not what I wanted. I had never played an extraction game until the most recent Dark and Darker playtest, and I was obsessed with it. If they can execute on the mechanics, I'm sure it will be fun. But man, I wish they could also just include a campaign too. I really hate how a lot of IPs that previously emphasized story are starting to pivot to pure multiplayer. In hindsight, the canary in the coal mines was Black Ops 4. Say what you will about CoD, but I really liked the Black Ops campaigns, they were like fun B-grade action movies with a few twists to spice things up. For the 4th game to have no campaign after the awful WW2 reboot one did, was annoying.
Was he responsible for the story in the original marathon games? Too bad if that's true, but I guess it doesn't matter since it's pure PvP.
He was responsible for most of the story and the things that made them good and interesting.
There'll still be AI on the map like most extraction shooters(S'pht and pfhor) and an over-arching season to season narrative like the ARH but yeah I'd still prefer SP
>the canary in the coal mines was Black Ops 4. Say what you will about CoD, but I really liked the Black Ops campaigns, they were like fun B-grade action movies with a few twists to spice things up. For the 4th game to have no campaign after the awful WW2 reboot one did, was annoying.
I get what you're saying but it's pretty well documented that BO4 was going to have a campaign but it got cut by the one-two punch of 3arc being too ambitious/experimental with it (it was like a co-op v co-op thing kinda Destiny inspired idk it's been awhile since I looked into it) and also Activision pushing up their deadline.
Ah I didn't know that, I really only touch CoD games when I feel that the campaign seems interesting so I never looked to far into BO4 development. That's a shame, would have liked to see what they would have done. For all the hate it gets, I thought the BO3 campaign was very cool with the techno schizo themes.

What is your opinion of this man, who both created and destroyed your love of games
Pure hatred
I love him. Ganker loves him as well.
I love fratboy jason in the homevideos from summer 94, now jason looks like a husk filled with regret
I think expanding the studio after Halo 1 really changed things for the worse.
>that part where they shit on quake
>casually films the source code
I wonder how he feels about 2012/13 looking back, Bungie as a company completed changed as a direct result of the reboot of Destiny he made the call on.
I think he just deluded himself into thinking that multiplayer was the next evolution for video games but he never realized how much design you're going to have to sacrifice in doing so. For instance take al ook at the AI in Destiny, its fine I cant really say its horrible and its fun to shoot but compared to Halo its a complete downgrade. There's no physics, the AI are worse, there's no way to build your own content. Jason was wrong in the long run and I personally think thats why he hid away the moment Bungie became activision's marionette puppet.
I honestly think Halo 2 being so successful despite not having his planned Spartan Vs Elite mode broke his brain
Not to mention pure greed. Why the frick would I ever play this when there are so many recent and decent games I haven't touched yet?
He's just John Romero but if John Romero had a little more common sense, despite Jason barely being involved with Halo 3 y'know the biggest game in Halo series because supposedly he was working on the next big thing only for Destiny to get completely torn apart by everyone on release probably killed his confidence. It could be worse, atleast he's not Frank o Connor.
Extraction is an inherently shit genre.
Honestly, I have exactly one hope for this game: That it treats Mjolnir Recon 54 with the respect he deserves instead of making a joke out of him
Honestly, the trailer doesn't inspire confidence in me.
>Guy who looks like SO is running down something that actually looks Marathon-esque
>Gets popped in the head by a smug looking robo-lady
It feels like a subtle frick you to the fans
The only thing I kinda liked was seeing some external ship patterning along the lines of Jodorowsky's Dune. But when the whole game looks like that it's shit.
See
UESC personell getting smoked by runners working for Traxus
I know
Yeah but you think they won't take the opportunity to shit on the fans of the OG?
the runners are not Battleroids, they're roboBoBs being piloted by UESC military personnel from off-world
Well they've already said Battleroids/Mjolnir are considered WMDs while Clones are considered weak enough to not even be deployed as an invasion force so we're already well ahead of Apex Legends treatment of Pilots
I really hope they mention the SO as some kind of abnormality that completely confuses the shit out of them
>Apex Legends treatment of Pilots
What?
What is even the difference between a clone and a battleroid?
ones asian
Clones are shell bodies piloted by a host transferring their consciousness into it like GiTS
Battleroids are advanced alien cybernetics grafted onto Reanimated memory wiped genetically engineered corpses that are each capable of taking out entire planets worth of opposition once activated
I hate the runners for some reason. They look smug
they have frick me deer eyes which makes me want to frick the girly looking ones
what
I am worried from the pan out level design from the trailer that they're hinting at it being either a fricking Battle Royal or Extraction Shooter.
It's an extraction shooter anon
They're gonna make it so that you have to kill the Officer aren't they
dont get why he would be back on tau ceti unless durandal comes just comes by with the Rozinante or Celer Manus Dei if he has found it by 2888
Every image of the game I have seen so far has convinced me to hate it.
honestly, i'd have no issue if they just called it anything but marathon
Agreed. Or even just a little caption like "Marathon: (Insert spinoff name here)"
Marathon: Extraction.
Bing, bang, boom, done.
Bungie is fricking dead.
still shit
don't abuse your classic titles like this at all
True, but at least it's differentiated.
Bungie being respectful to their old IP is the biggest fricking joke of all of this.
Marathon: Runner
frick you
Should be called Plataea.
Yea it should be separate from OG Marathon altogether, then I'd be interested. This just isn't right.
Harass all paid Bungie shills.
Hide marathon/ destiny shilling threads.
Report all marathon/ destiny threads for being paid shills.
Never trust nu-bungie.
what does MIDA stand for?
It's never explained in the original games. M is probably for Mars and I is for independence but I have no idea what D and A would be.
It's an ongoing joke that no one knows.
For the ARG today there was a bunch of twitter posts which started with potential words that could make it up
>YFW we find a terminal left behind by the Security Officer himself and how he's just exhausted from all this shit
>We will never get a FF7-style remake of M1
Feels bad man. How do we get the news out?
please look at those homosexuals in the vidoc and how they imitate people playing a game. like an grown up ad for kids but disconnected from what people really want. i fricking hate this clownsworld so much. i bet there is no good worldbuilding, so all the things feel right and real (inside the game). they advertizing for mentally ill people and trannies. why cant they go back to men only teams, the best of the best, building a world and a product which really is worth it to get bought
Agreed. Don't forget to sage when you post.
Kind of a coincidence that Mandalore did Marathon stuff less than a year ago. Maybe the marketing staff are prescient.
He's a corporate shill
>extraction shooter
DEAD
ON
ARRIVAL
fvaaad
>Its gonna be good lads, even if its not what you want
holy shit the cope
It cannot be good as an extraction shooter
Live service platforms aren't games, they exist to extract capital from autistic persons only. They're vessels for exploitation, nothing more.
The big problem is that the Marathon fanbase is eating it up because "Muh deathmatch."
Bunch of pieces of shit
i'm in there and the popular opinion seems to be "well i like marathon but extraction shooters suck"
I'll tell you something no gives 2 flying fricks what some boomers think about a game they played 30 years ago they can suck my nuts
So wait, why do you care about a game that was released 30 years ago then?
where are you getting that info from, the majority opinion is that they're happy that there's a new marathon game but not really excited with the idea of it being an extraction shooter.
Discord
yes and I'm in that discord. Everyone is not so hyped about it being an extraction game. Are you the moron that was crying about new people joining?
I think my biggest problem with Destiny and by extension this game, is that a lot of the fun of Halo and Marathon is stepping into the shoes of Chief or Vic. Marathon deep lore makes it explicitly clear what Vic is and he's scary and awesome, and Chief is obviously an extension of that.
In Destiny it's all about being "you" or being some idealized version of yourself. You get to create your character and the entire game constructed around ... fashion ... basically.
There's no center to Destiny. It's kind of ego-less, and not in a cool way, but in this way where it feels like the creative people behind it are muting themselves somehow, trying to accommodate everybody.
Realizing I trailed off without really making my point
Point is I don't want to be playing as some scrublord character struggling on the MMO grind.
Destiny doesn't have a center, and from this trailer nu-Marathon doesn't have a center either.
How the frick is this related to the first marathon or the second at all? it doesn't even look like it takes place in the same universe
I’m going to beat the shit out of anyone who supports this in front of me
when will racism and sexism be made illegal
You know, I've always thought getting jobs based on race was deemed unethical but here you are people actively doing it and confessing it in public due to the moral imperative.
watching the self hatred of you wypipo collapse society in real time
>you
Moron, everyone is being domesticated into slavery. EVERYONE.
>comparing your diverse hires to a mediocre white man
Good ol Freudian slips
Frick Bungie
>Bungie employee trying to mitigate the fan's anger
Lmao
I picked Destiny 2 back up because of this announcement, bought the last two DLC before Lightfall just to try and catch up but holy frick, the new/returning player experience is fricking horrendous. I have no earthly idea what is going on or what I'm supposed to be doing, I just got bombarded by cutscenes and forced into missions before I even had time to readjust myself. This isn't even considering I haven't played in three years and all the original content is gone so I don't even remember the story and Lance Reddick is yelling at me about some homosexual with a cloud for a head. I don't know or remember who this fricker is supposed to be, it's like jumping halfway through a book that's halfway through a series but the original books stopped being printed. I just spent 30 bucks buying old expacs and now I'm already being pushed into spending 50 more before I've even gotten to the map screen.
If Marathon is anything remotely similar to this it's not even going to be worth playing unless you poopsock the shit out of it and let Bungie drain your bank account.
marathon is going to be pvp ONLY
no story
no campaign.
Blows because the NPE used to be decent.
I fricking hate the cyberpunk/synthwave A.E.S.T.H.E.T.I.C. they're going with for this game. Marathon was always weird looking, but it had a singular style, not a collage of clashing neon-painted shit.
To think they could've picked up NeoTokyo instead.
Trailer was so fricking good its funny seeing people find the most insane cope out there to be mad about it. Keep seething losers Im enjoying some kino soon
Dollars to donuts they called it "Marathon" (no subtitle) just to frick with google searches so they can rewrite their history and get people off their case to make actual story-driven games than the drivel that they shit out now.
Yeah that sorta thing pisses me off, like when they rebooted Doom as Doom. People settled for saying Doom16
Search engines in general are just shit. Can't wait for AI to replace big tech
AI is going to be 1000 times worse, current big tech already use machine learning to maximize engagement rather than give good results
we need to go back to pagerank and actively filter out thirdies and bots
oh yeah of course i just mean i want the homosexuals responsible to lose their jobs to AI
I wish we could do something about it
That gives a little bit of optimisim but board room mutilation can always kill good talent. Even Destiny had a bit of promise years ago when it was first hinted at
I don't get it, is this a new destiny expansion or what?
this game aesthetic feels like a mash of The Island, Ghost in the Shell and rainbow diarrhea
the player models reminds me of these guys
It's closest comparison I can make is Synthetik. Even GitS doesn't go hard on the neon and only ever uses the cool colors of purple and blue. This one has more of a matte neon color plastered into everything.
>(Been at Bungie since Myth II days)
>(been at Bungie since Halo 2
>(Been at Bungie since the Marathon days)
doesn't mean anything, in fact it's pretty bad that they were too part of the trash fire the was destiny with microtransactions and loot bullshit
the UESC website has some nice wallpapers hidden in it
nobody cares
ArtStation: the game
I’m getting everything I wanted out of a Gamera thing, but I feel this was the trade off.
Two of my favorite franchises. One reborn, the other fricked up
literally just a Destiny reboot
marathon will literally be a cod killer, calling it now
>console trash from gaylo devs
Kys
who was joyeuse?
