Marathon (Bungie) PS5, Xbox Series X, PC

[The_Unchosen_One]

They could’ve at least tacked on a 9-10 hour single player campaign. Just for extra content and to get players in. What a waste of a dope art style and aesthetic if this shyt fails. Bungie might be on Rocksteady’s timing if this bombs. Another great studio past their prime.

And Sony wasted money and offed Factions for this lol. Mannnn if Sony doesn’t step in now.

Pete Parsons needs more cars!!!!

I’m not understanding what bungie do to yall for yall hoping shyt flops

I don’t think it’s that, literally nobody asked for this . I’m not a bungie guy but I imagine some destiny 2 dlc or even 3 would have been better than this. shyt looks mid as hell

It'll take them around 5-7 years to make D3, and they've already said they haven't started...

They've been focused on this, and their other game coming out "gummybears"

They've said in the past, if Marathon flops, Destiny is dead since they sunk everything into Marathon...

There will probably never be another game quite like Destiny... bungie is going to kill itself with this

Why would Sony be fast tracking to destroy a 3 billion dollar investment?

Sony wants them to create a shooter gaas game same as destiny... Sony wants to recoup on their investment but these projects keep flopping...it's like they dont get it

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Destiny wasn’t my thing, and i didn’t expect this to be but at the reactions.

Bungie really might be dead huh?

Drake once said to Metro “Shut up and go make some drums”

Microsoft to Bungie years ago shouldve said “Shut up and go make some Halo”

Bungie doing what Sony tells them to it seems...

sony was doing what bungie told them lol. they're why TLOU 2 doesn't have multiplayer

also, they bought a lemon

bungie was working on marathon long before the sony acquisition

That makes this situation looks worse...

I mean what do gamers really ask for, other than some nostalgic shyt people ain’t really talking about shyt

We see some new shyt with actual gameplay and the response is people hoping it flops?

Like nobody even have any objective criticism about the gameplay they just hope it does bad for whatever reason

im pretty sure i directly address why this was disappointing the last time you asked no one else gonna spin in this circle lol

What makes gameplay good to y’all?
Like what do you want to see in a pvp shooter for it to be considered “good” gameplay

i got a code. i'll give it a run later but man.... maybe this would've been better as a switch 2 exclusive

but you didn't even play destiny enough to get tired of it lol. there's a reason that formula is why bungie doesn't even discuss their pvp numbers anymore

for an FPS it cannot be more of the same in a new IP

even here they're slapping reused animations and regurgitated abilities onto a new design and hoping it sticks like new. the stuff that made bungie gameplay pop before was movement and gun feel - they don't own that space anymore. you're not catching people with a stretched out slide and sprint when other games have wall running and omni directional inputs.

plus the heroes are straight up weak too. 3 maps at release on top of that? its unserious for a game that spent years in the oven. they reused that same execution animation as if its the only one too

nah.... marvels rival beta legit did 300k put concord in life support before it even released and forced overwatch to get its shyt together after half a decade of stagnating in the hero shooter space

so let me ask you instead - what about this gameplay looked better than another slow dying GaaS like The Finals? which was developed for a fraction of the time and cost btw

 

[CodeKansas]

I got like 7k hours in D2 alone..

If I was still punishing myself, I would too.

The gameplay looked like a typical shooter

Im pretty sure I mentioned this early but what exactly is to be expected from fps shooters gameplay wise, complaining about animations you saw in short clips supposed to be objective criticism?

And you not paying developers money to develop games so why should consumers care how long a game has been worked on or how much it supposedly costed, the only thing that matters is if it’s fun, does it work

DOOM and Titanfall 3 will save us

What's so funny about that tweet?

they're not short clips. there's entire matches of footage out.

you can nitpick the animation response, (completely ignoring the fact that bungie not only pioneered finishers in FPS games, they also monetized them lol) but they've still directly lifted animations and gameplay mechanics from destiny. many of those same mechanics *do not work well* in pvp. even the wall they keep highlighting has issues where explosions clip through the ground and bypass it consistently lol.... they're not fixing that because we know they've never fixed it.

and the movement would've been impressive 5 years ago too

you can still give your thoughts on how this looks compared The Finals - another IP that struggled to carve out space among shooters and will die slow.

plus how long bungie developed this goes right into the same issues that had with their last title too as they've been bleeding talent the entire time. they're closer to a bioware situation than many want to admit.
