Eskimo Press: "Destiny, Bungie's ambitious upcoming sci-fi adventure, has certainly nabbed the attention of the gaming press after the recent reveal featurette. Aside from speculations running rampant about how the game itself will shape up, there's now just cause to assume that the footage shown in the video is running on next-gen console tech. "
The Marathon Duo queue test ends as Bungie confirms its return in Season 2, with new experimental playlists already on the way.

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.
It's 2026 and basic match making features in MP games are still being drip fed to an audience that still gets excited over said basic feature being implemented.
Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."
Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.
On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.
Replies(1)The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games
You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.
Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.
Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.
Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮
Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran.
My expectations are realistic when it comes to what PS4 games will look like but there's just no way those few snippets of gameplay were running on next gen-tech. They looked like they would run without breaking a sweat on PS3/360/WiiU. Do you honestly think Sony would allow PS4 footage to be openly shown before their event on the 20th?
@Filthy
Really? Well each to their own but I have my doubts. Do you think that the gameplay footage looked 'next-gen' to you?
The footage looked quite good, but it's definitely in the reach of current gen.
I think that if next gen consoles had already been announced and tech demos/launch games shown then Bungie would have been able to show us some actual gameplay footage of Destiny. The footage shown so far looks comfortably current gen.
We know of absolutely tons of next gen games that are being worked on at the moment, but other than a few exceptions such as Ground Zeroes, we haven't seen anything of them yet.

Regardless, all the best ideas are born when you are on the toilet. Any writer can tell you this.
It's very unfortunate for you that you don't like the site. Just don't visit us. :)
Have a wonderful day.
The game looked great but theres no way that was next gen footage. I think KZ3 and Halo 4 looked better than that. Remember the engine is scaleable so the next gen versions will probably look like crysis 3 or BF3 on pcs of course
