Carl Williams writes, "It is no small secret that First Person Shooter (FPS) games are still raging on within the gaming world, whether on console or computers or mobile, they are still going strong. With the advent of the newer consoles, we saw even more FPS games racking up sales and continuing franchises. 20 years ago, Bungie (the company behind the Halo series and Destiny) launched a little game on the Macintosh computer called Marathon. Macintosh gamers were waiting with baited breath for this title, not only because it was to ship with up to eight player network multiplayer (over the Internet gaming was still mostly a pipe dream) but it was the Mac answer to the PC’s runaway success story called Doom."
Bungie's extraction shooter revival for Marathon has been making progress despite studio struggles, but one change makes it sound way worse.
Insider Gaming exclusively reports some early details on Bungie's new Marathon game, including its gameplay loop, features, and more.
Kind of a shoot yourself in the foot before the race starts kind of statement. I've yet to see the crowd excited for GaaS titles. I've seen the hype for this fizzle out and die on discovery it was a GaaS after reveal.
A tall order to claim and live up to, with so many (myself included) sick of the extreme nickel and diming the industry has now.
I bet it will, it will have the most micro transactions in than any other game, and they'll be much more expensive, call of duty charged you for a red dot? Well prepare yourself because they will charge you to be able to turn left, so buckle up for the ultimate live service experience fellow gamers
Says the people who had to rebuild Destiny after a complete failure out of the gates.
The reveal of Bungie's revival of the Marathon franchise at the PlayStation Showcase makes good on Sony's intentions with studio acquisitions.
😩 Microsoft said 100x case by case with Zenimax and you can’t compare Zenimax to bungie. Let wait til Sony buy SquareEnix or Capcom and see what Sony going to do with them.
Bungee in my imo is how Ms treat their MMO studios and Minecraft they let release games on others platforms.
One would even ask why Sony have purchased Bungie in the first place. If every Bungie game's gonna be multiplatform GAAS anyway.
And its a bad move, because of what Microsoft is doing. A teaser of marathon did 13 million views in one day. Huge hype with just a cgi trailer.
"playstation is all about SINGLE PLAYER STORY DRIVEN EXLUSIVE GAMES! So here's a Multiplatform, multiplayer game from one our recent acquisitions!" LMFAO.
In all seriousness tho, I LOVE the design of this game so far. the aesthetics and graphic design are killer.
