Bungie Weekly Update: 08.13.10

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it’s not really the 13th yet, but can you blame me for not wanting to pen the update on such a superstitious date? Besides, a good slice of the equipment I need to make these here words appear right before your very eyes, all magically and whatnot, is about to be uprooted for transport tomorrow and our IT Ninjas say they won’t have me back up to full speed until late Monday morning. Our studio move isn’t over quite yet, people. It’s now or never.

Wow...forge world and race are going be great . Im glad bungie gave you the option called "forgefx" .

I guess because you cant change the textures ,bungie decided to change the scenery .

"That’s it for this week. Next stop, Gamescom. Bring a change of pants, people. You’re gonna need ‘em."

What else could bungie have to show ?

Convas5768d ago

I dunno what it is, but based on what we've gotten the past 2 major Gaming Conventions, I'd say we're in for a serious treat!

SixZeroFour5768d ago

forge effects is similar to the theater effects i think for screen caps that i often see...but im loving the juicy and next gen fx...cant really tell the difference from next gen and old school tho

KingKionic 5768d ago

Yeah its the effects option that was in halo 3 but upgraded .

Maybe bungie is showing off a new gameplay mode at gamescon .

jdktech20105768d ago

I like the way you think Kionic....I also wouldn't mind seeing the flood as an option in firefight (and only firefight) but I would rather have a new gametype

Breakfast5768d ago

'Next Gen is back and better than ever. Not only is it still dark and gritty, but now it comes with a grain filter that makes for an even more filmic experience. It’s totally bleak. Just like we hear real war is.'

lol

Fanb0y5768d ago

I really want to apply those fx to campaign. Any word on that?

jdktech20105768d ago

I knew they had something up their sleeves....they haven't overpromised yet like some major announcements are....I'm not expecting anything huge seeing as how we're a month from launch but I'll be eagerly anticipating to see just how much more ridiculous reach is gonna get

Thrillhouse5768d ago

I cannot see myself getting bored of this game for many, many years.

Bring on September 14th! :D

RockmanII75768d ago

I'm very glad you get credits for playing custom games. That's usually the only thing I do in Halo 3.

BuIIetproofish_5768d ago (Edited 5768d ago )

Yeah, finally I can get my rank whore friends to play some customs. That combined with Arena ranks resetting monthly insures custom game shenanigans for years to come. I can't thank Bungie enough, I guess $60 will do. I'd get Legendary if I wasn't starting college.

RockmanII75768d ago

Yea, I was gonna get Legendary but my mic broke 2 weeks ago I realized my gold ran out in August. I'm just getting the $60 one because the Limited is not worth the extra $20.

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.

Marathon hands-on preview | Notebookcheck

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.

Putte81d ago

And as of now a 5.1 user score on metacritic. Really bad.

LiViNgLeGaCY81d ago

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.

MrNinosan81d ago

Trolls on Metacritic, must be a new thing or you were born yesterday

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

LiViNgLeGaCY81d ago

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.

MrNinosan81d ago

Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.

Outside_ofthe_Box81d ago

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.

Flenter80d ago

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 🤮🤮
