It isn't something debatable, HD2 just isn't an extraction game unless you are stupid enough to think "extraction" games are just games where you extract at the end.

You lose the samples (crafting mats) you looted during a match if you dont extract.

This is clearly a more casual interpretation of an extraction game.

If you want to argue HD2 blends extraction with other genres like survival, then thats just arguing technicalities at that point.

I hope this game is good becuase the music and art direction has had me in a chokehold. Even if i dont end up liking it I’ll prob buy an art book for it

I still have no idea what this game is about and what kind of Marathon game is? Reminds me of Concord when I had no idea what Concord game is. I hope this is not another (GaaS) hype like they did with Concord.
its nothing like the original marathon at least.

honestly... they just took a lot of inspiration from mirrors edge and tried to bite tarkov with all the ideas that they couldn't bring to destiny 2 pvp before it cannibalized itself. impressions and vids are around the corner but i'm hoping they've changed a lot since the last invite round for their internal build.

The official reveal pre-stream is live now! It runs for 26.2 hours before the official livestream starts, which means it begins on Friday, April 11 at 7:48am PTand continues until Saturday, April 12 at 10am PT when the showcase begins.

🤖 We've also got something special planned for the two hours before the livestream, starting at 8am PT on April 12. We wouldn't want to spoil the surprise, but we will say you'll want to tune into our official Twitch channel for maximum participation.
We'll be livestreaming the Gameplay Reveal Showcase straight from Bungie HQ, where the local Seattle Marathon team will be here in the audience and is very excited to show you what they've been working on.

You can expect to see multiple gameplay videos along with a few other surprises in tomorrow's stream.

We'll be sitting down with game director Joe Ziegler, franchise art director Joseph Cross, senior design lead Lars Bakken, gameplay director Andrew Witts, and senior social media manager Andy Salisbury to chat about everything we're sharing.

📢 Have a question you'd like to see answered on the show? Drop a comment below! We'll be picking some questions submitted from you all to answer on stream. We'll also be keeping an eye on Twitch chat for live Q+As too.

The gameplay will likely be spot on. The question is can they make an extraction shooter interesting enough to make people care? They can't help themselves, so they're making it Live Service, but Destiny lends itself to that. Will people even want to get on the proverbial hamster wheel for this type of game, regardless of how good it plays? Will people volunteer to get nickel and dimed on a whole new game knowing how Bungie gets down?
