Why do these companies do this shit?
It doesn't appeal to fans of the old games, and does not attract new ones.
Who is this for? Is this a way launder money or a tax kickback scheme?
I mean it probably went through a whole bunch of rounds of meetings got a reasonable amount of time of development and got a decent marketing budget before that.
To maintain ownership of the IP, as a pre-existing IP is worth more than a new one.
True, but couldn't they just make a re-realease/re-master kind of thing?
It sounds both cheaper and more appealing?
>Marathon is BACK! >It's....a multiplayer extraction shooter >Also we are weirdly avoiding mentioning Marathon anywhere and treating it like a new IP
Why even call it Marathon?

anon, youre forgetting the latest fashion
OH NO
Did that ever actually come out?
See
Spark seems downright good by comparison. Also, as one of the few people who actually played it, it was alright.
Is there a name for this trope?
Remakes
BETRAYYYYAAAAAL
Ironically, the betrayal game got canned and a real X-COM sequel was made in the end.
Project Spark and the Young Sheldon thing don't even begin to compare to Cal-Arts Toads
Yeah that actually came out
Nu-Doom
Not really no.
and this was after nuts and bolts too, I'm guessing this is when anyone who still hoped rare would come back finally gave up.
Not everyone survived the mid 20000's edgification.
