They should re-master the Marathon games from the 90s for all current platforms.

Those are actually interesting, not the hero extraction whatever GAAS this is

Tacoboto576d ago

Yeah that might end up hurting the GaaS more if players take to the single player titles.

Imagine STALKER fans if they got the remastered trilogy only for 2 to become an extraction GaaS.

That would be nice so many 90's era games need a modern touch up.

But this gutted bungie studio with money issues is going to toss out a GASS hero extraction game in a jam packed market then the game will fail after that layoffs or studio closer so sad.

I'll try it if it's F2P, otherwise Bungie can suck it.

just_looken576d ago (Edited 576d ago )

Marathon is said to be $40, following a premium pay-to-play model rather than the previously expected free-to-play model. This is a very unpopular choice that has players shocked since most FPS are free these days. Many are already comparing the game to Concord for this reason, a game that only lasted a few weeks.

There have been leaks cause you know sony

Edit: this was September 2024 look it up

Yeah guaranteed if it doesn't launch f2p it'll flop and go f2p shortly after

"Yeah guaranteed if it doesn't launch f2p it'll flop and go f2p shortly after "

we will see on what they are doing to concord first do not forget we are still getting fairgame$ first so 2 failures perhaps they just cancel the 3rd also.

It would be smart to make it F2P but this is new sony

GamingManiac568d ago

Or you know, they could learn from Destiny 2, free to try works really well imo and strikes a fair balance.

outsider1624576d ago

I have a bad feeling for this game..

obidanshinobi576d ago

Ah Marathon, what once would've been one of many multiplayer modes attached to a full single player campaign, is now just a full game in itself.
Modern gaming ladies and gents, modern fucking gaming.
Unambitious and creatively lazy.

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.

Console Creatures writes, "If you give Marathon your time, it will reward your patience. However, between UI issues and unclear systems, there’s a lot of murkiness to parse through."
