        I have only played 1 and got filtered by that awful level but I've watched everything there is to watch about the 3 games and I've read through the forums a lot. I don't pretend to be an enormous fan but it's still sad to see something old with this strange niche appeal get recycled into a FotM PvP shooter.

        I played Marathon with groups on B.Net before and made many a schizopost tying it and Halo together when I was a kid
        You're outraged about the wrong thing if posers are pissing you off more than Bungie pissing on the IP. Unless you're a shill, then that would make a lot of sense

              Not him but I don't know why anyone who understands storytelling would need this. Legacy of Kain's story is kind of done. There's no story left, the characters and events and mysteries all came full circle. We know the history, the twists, the journeys are complete. All that is left is for Kain to slash some tentacles and for the Vorador plothole to be filled in. I really don't think that's enough meat for a new Legacy of Kain entry.

                Yeah, it ended in a fairly good place and, given the current state of the industry, I think I'd much rather prefer it to remain unfinished altogether. Nonetheless, that doesn't detract from the immeasurable disappointment I felt when the series gets some attention and it's to cater to a completely different crowd.

          Tarkovlike. It's Battle Royale except instead of killing everyone else the goal is to get to an escape point, you keep the gear you find in the game for use in the next game, and can buy stuff inbetween matches.

              It's a reboot, plain and simple. I just hate they had to reuse the name without anything, a simple subtitle would do like Marathon:Reincarnated. We had Marathon infinity for Marathon3 but that was because it was the final installment and it had a map editor so it was "infinite" and not like Halo Infinite which was a live service.

          Its a high risk high reward gameplay style that in basically long stretch's of nothing and then short spans of extremely intense combat as hours of progression can be wiped if you are killed. Its basically PVP survival games were distilled into a match format.

          Not him but for me it's because of legacy reasons. People always say that you can't be doing the same thing over and over again for the same game, which while true, doesn't warrant everything to be changed about it.

            But it does warrant change. If bungie wants to use their IP to explore it in a new way, I don't see how that's anyone's prerogative but their own. Marathon was fricking super far future science fiction and this looks to be in a similar vein, just with much better technology and a "plasti-future" aesthetic. They're even playing into the legacy rather than clearly just using it.

              It's coasting on its legacy as a skin. Like I said, this should've been some Destiny spin-off title. I'M OK with Marathon being laid to rest and so were other Marathongays in the 2000s.

        MARATHON sounds cool though, its a name that they are clearly fond of. Destiny was originally going to be called Beyond which is gay, lol. Either way, Marathon is getting the Titanfall/Apex Legends treatment and I'm all for it.

                The thing that made OG marathon fun was the multi-player and the schizo lore, which this reboot is obviously leaning into. The single player mode was always a middling at best experience and even normies like Mandalore didn't pretend otherwise

      the videos you're talking about are less than a year old. the project is more than likely in the work since longer than that. Now reviving a decades old IP that was mainly solo campaigns with cryptic storytelling by making a multiplayer-only extraction shooter is weird bordering on the inexplicable but it's not like the entire life-cycles of massive projects from triple As studios revolves around the niche interests of an anonymous game reviewer.
      You really need to be completely Ganker poisoned to believe that Mando has this kind of pull on the decision making process of studio that was bought for more than 3 fricking billions dollars by Sony

        Zoomers and streamers can play any type of game, that doesn't necessarily mean the entire genre is "tainted" by them. The main issue with the "extraction" genre is that it's dominated by a single game, and that's Escape from Tarkov. Not even IW could dethrone Tarkov from that spot with DMZ, even though they're pumping more content into it than Warzone, which is funny.
        Extraction shooters have the potential to be a very fun type of game, but they're all basing their gameplay off of a SINGULAR fricking game which is balanced like complete and total shit, and led by people who don't know how to manage a game to save their life. Tarkov should not be the shining pinnacle of the genre, even DMZ is better than Tarkov when it comes to game balance and having an actual anti-cheat.
        The last extraction shooter I played that didn't feel like a lesson in masochism and ball torture was Marauders, but that game is on it's last legs because it has a total player count of a few rodents and romanians.

          I think Cycle Frontier's idea of having persistent servers last 6 hours, people filter in and out, is where the genre needs to go. Similar to Dark Zone in Division. The session based like 30-45 minute shit Tarkov and DMZ do is trash, you never have time to really do what you came in for if you also seek out PVP.

          To add onto this, the main guy I'm replying to isn't even that wrong when talking about extraction shooters, (he's thinking of tarkov) Battlestate actively encourages a streamer-heavy game where your average player who sits down to play the game for a couple hours instead of doing ~10 hour long streams gets destroyed, which in turn drives up game purchases because people want to experience what the streamer's doing.
          Not only that, but certain streamers have straight up connections to moderators in Tarkov whom they cry to when you kill them on their stream.
          https://www.altchar.com/game-news/escape-from-tarkov-player-banned-for-killing-streamer-in-game-aT6Ln8D2WsFd
          Tarkov harbors an incredibly fricking shitty experience for anyone trying out the extraction shooter genre, and is full of homosexual streamers who cry to their moderators quickly after you kill any of them, meaning you could be playing the game, get yourself a quick kill on someone with good gear, only to find out you killed a streamer and you've just had $60 stolen from you with no hope of getting your account banned.

          Add that on top of having a non-existant anticheat, and you have a game full of streamers, and chinese hackers.

      I tried looking into Marathon last year because it sounds cool, but apparently there's a lot of hoops you need to jump through to get it up and running.
      Is there a guide, or something?
      Shan't be playing this new reboot, in any case.

      Yeah, it's missing some new shit. I don't think it ships with the XBLA HUD anymore which is pretty much mandatory if you want it to look good on a widescreen monitor. Enabling 3D Perspective turns off Y-shearing too and makes the game look better.

        I dunno, Mythbros, I feel pretty comfortable here in my tomb burried 6ft underground. Hopefully PitDbros are comfortable too.

        I just hope they will make some Siege of Madrigal easter egg in the new Marathon. That is all.

        After 11 years break I decided to finish TFL and SB campaigns on Legendary with my friend. Right now we're on Ambush at the Devil's Overlook. It is still a great game.

          What a huge what-if would be if Myth II's launch was never a frickup. Bungie would've remained an independent studio and Halo would've been far more of a Marathon spiritual successor with gameplay meant for PC.

          Also pic is from a replay file from 5th of March, 2010 when we attempted The Forge on normal one last time. Almost finished it, but a Fetch killed our last troops, so Alric could not kill Soulblighter as it is a scripted sequence. It was our last and final attempt, after that we never tried to finish that mission ever again.

      Things ending is not considered normal nowadays. The current generation grew up in a world of never-ending subscription based media that always needs to keep going to eternally make more money. Something ending may be the right thing from a creative or narrative perspective, but from the financial (aka the main one) it's a bad idea.

There is only one surviving asset of Marathon 3 and it's a 3D render of Durandal.

        NTA but he's right. I don't believe there are that many marathongays on Ganker or anywhere really. I played the whole Marathon trilogy on Xbox 360 ten years ago for one playthrough and I thought it was good not great. It does a lot of creative stuff but it's inferior to just about any other shooter in that era. I think the real reason it had the niche it did was because of the mac userbase not having many other options. Yes I know it was on other platforms.
        >you'll feel it too
        I've felt the burn many times. It hurt at first. Then I became numb to it. Rebooting is easy to cope with when you realize it's just reusing a name and/or fanfiction and not actually a sequel. Just about every IP I love that turned into more than one game did this.

      Unfortunately GaaS is incredibly profitable. Destiny 2 is in the top 10 most played list for each platform, it's making a lot of money. Also Doom has name recognition, which can sell a singleplayer game. Marathon doesn't have that going for it at all so Bungie was never going to give it a proper reboot like Doom had.

    I playtested this game for Bungie about a year ago, took em long enough to finally announce it I guess. Didn't know it'd cause this much of a shithshow, i didn't know this game was a reboot until halfway through my session. Don't want to give any deets but I will say that me and the other playtesters were pretty critical of it. It wasn't very fun, but to be fair i never played an extraction shooter until then. Got a $300 visa for playin video games so that was cool I guess. Hopefully they've fixed all the problems we pointed out since then.

      • 10 months ago
        Anonymous

        Yeah, frick it. It was just kind of shallow. Some of the things I remember of note were just me and the other playtesters being kind of confused and not having that much fun. I feel like a lot of it was down to there being no stakes since we were being dropped in with pre-configured inventories and we didn't care what loot we found. Enemies were bullet sponges, combat was kind of boring. Half the time we were fighting robots and drones, with the occasional threat of the Bungie devs who fought our team (that was pretty cool). The map we were on was hard to navigate and the visual style was particularly grating to one of my fellow playtesters after we had played for some time. I remember it being not too bad but i did get a bit of a headache from it. Me personally, I was going through the motions after only an hour or so. I had no idea what any of the stuff we were running on even was, since the map design was so colorful and abstract. Guns were just basic halo type guns, DMR, battle rifle, etc. I do remember there being a lot of cool perks you could buy with the cash you get. The devs definitely stressed how this game is supposed to be something you can jump into really quickly with your buddies, and they plan on supporting it long-term with lots of updates. We had a big discussion with some of the devs after the play sessions and one thing we kept coming back to was how this game didn't really feel all that distinct, especially the playtesters who had actually played extraction type shooters. Best wishes to bingie, and i bet a lot of these things were probably ironed out.

    I know for a fact that 90% of the morons here never even played the Marathon series and this is just regurgitated hate towards modern gaming and the state of the game industry today.
    I'm not saying it isn't warranted, but this board really is just the /misc/ of video games.

    Give this fricking this a chance. Give everything a fricking chance. If it's shit, it's shit. b***h about it then. You were never going to get the Marathon you wanted again anyway. That was never the plan. If Bungie wanted to make a Marathon game but more polished and more modern, they would have done it already. Oh wait, they already did. That's what Halo was. Halo brought them more success than Marathon ever did, and far more fans than Marathon ever would. This is them using a title they still own to make something new out of to catch that lightning in the bottle that Halo was again. This might just be the Halo of extraction shooters. Not everything is and will be like Tarkov, you know.

    Anyway, grow up. You were never a Marathon fan. If you were, you would know that your franchise died way back then and that this isn't for you anymore.

        Maybe they wanted to put a Marathon spin on this new game? This is just a teaser, dammit. This is a chance for them to create a world like the one that Marathon envisioned with all that crazy cool concept art that was drawn all those years back. I know that Marathon didn't really do any of that and it was just a corridor shooter like DOOM. Not much in terms of beautiful, imaginative skyboxes or locations.

      They are PvEPvP games hard to explain. There are NPC enemies and player enemies. Idea is to complete missions during a round, loot stuff and get out alive with your stuff. Normally if you die you lose everything unless you buy some sort of insurance with ingame money.
      Tarkov is pretty good when it's functioning like it should function but most of the time you are going to be killed by cheaters or people with much better gear than what you have.
      The idea is pretty good but it's really hard to make right.

        And out of all the Destiny players, how many do you think even know what Marathon is. The MIDA guns as a reference fell on deaf ears foe the most part.

          Anon they had an entire dlc with Marathon crossover reference weapons and armor to prep for this announcement, that's when the leak happened. The two things Bungie still does well are art direction and hype generation

            Lolwat the 30th anniversary pack was a set of armor, 2 not halo guns and gjallarhorn in a shitty dungeon
            It's not an entire set of marathon reference

              >titan got pfhor set
              >warlock got a s'pht compiler set
              >shotgun and grenade launcher from marathon, and a ton of direct references to marathon oni and halo in the added game mode
              They clearly been prepping the fan base for this I don't know what to tell you anon

                Yeah it's the 30th anniversary package for their entire output not just marathon
                Also that security set belonged to titans
                That we knew it was coming has nothing to do with that

                No, Hunters got the Deimosborn (Security Officer) set, Titans got the Pfhor warrior set.
                The majority of the items and references in 30th anniversary were to Marathon, and even before 30th there were other references like MIDA and even the lab on Venus back in D1. Again this is clearly an idea that's been on the back burner for a while

                Nah Titans make more sense as the behemoths the Pfhor were supposed to be
                I kinda wish the hunter set was a little better though, every piece but the helmet and arms is kinda lame

      I think Destiny actually fits a modern reimagining of Marathon's art in some ways. Destiny is very colorful and the aliens all have distinctive aesthetics. The Fallen basically look like upgraded Pfhor

      But the dungeon is underwater and therefore lame

      Its going to be an Extract Shooter, what else is there to wait for? even if it has gimmicks its still a piece of dying shit. Extract shooters aren't popular and this game will stand on its own two legs since destiny and halo wont carry it.

          And what is this supposed to imply? a series that concluded in 1996 is not as popular as entire genre of games that were barely introduced into the market 5 years ago? jeez nice insight you got there.

      Chris Ray Gun is a genuine brainlet. Listening to him speak makes me want to punch a hole through my computer, which is a shame because I enjoy the other two guys on the podcast he does with Moriarty. I think I've just had it with zoomers who know nothing about video games and aren't afraid to out themselves.

      Because the original games also had wacky color design, see

      Marathon was actually pretty vibrant at times. Durandal in particular. But that was relegated to the Pfhor segments which really gave them an otherworldly feeling.

      I'm guessing this is just going to have a unified art style though.

      and because this has been leaked for like a year after the 30th anniversary dlc came out in Destiny 2

        The real world reason is that Craig Mullins drew the concepts back during the infant stage of digital painting, before concept art in gaming was a properly standardized profession.
        In-universe the explanation is that the security officer is a reality hopping supersoldier, he works with whatever is on hand wherever he ends up

      Most of anons here would dare you to actually play Marathon trilogy and imagine for yourself what it would look like if a fourth installment would come out today. I guarantee you, it would not be like this.

    I think people are missing the bigger picture by saying "Well you didn't play on release so you are not a fan of the series" when Marathon became a cult game that was shared around in various FPS related forums around the mid 2000's. I think that if you interacted with the classic FPS community, you have heard of Marathon at some point.

      These marketers don't seem to realize "hey this old FPS game is completely free and open source and on every operating system" means more people got to play it.

      It stems from a modern sociological phenomena where women are extremely overrepresented in behavioral departments so female competitive strategies are more rewarded in a corporate space rather than the male counterpart.

    I have this weird feeling like they renamed Matter to Marathon last minute when they realized how uninspired the original name sounded. Bungie are definitely not stupid when it comes to promoting their stuff but I cant help but feel cynical about the way they're going to grab the name of a beloved trilogy and just slap it onto their latest project. Battle Royale still mog Extract Shooters and that'll never change since BRs offer much better replayability and generally more fun and exciting. This game just feels wrong, I think its in everyone's best interest that it does not take off or even come close to being popular because I feel like Bungie are jumping the shark and letting their confidence from turning Destiny around get to them

      I'm going to be the devil's advocate and say that Extraction shooter offers a little bit more flexibility for the game. We can get PvE and possible story missions while still being able to get killed by other players. Will it play out like this? Probably not, but I'm SOMEWHAT hopeful this is a good game.

      It was a cult classic anon, by definition most people knew nothing about it. The name fits for a game where you run around collecting scraps of ancient godlike technology and obviously by the teaser including MIDA, UESC, and a fricking Worldship that this either Matter was a code name or its something else entirely

        I dont know this isnt typical behavior for them. This might just be the first time they've ever grabbed an old IP and tried to reboot it. Seem unordinary for them.
