TIL that Bungie is releasing a new game.

Although judging by this news and the first sentence on their Steam page being "...Bungie’s team-based extraction shooter.", maybe it's a good thing I can't play their games.

"Bungie is making a new game based on Marathon"

Great, I'm in.

"It's a multi-player extraction shooter"

Nope, I'm out. This smells like a "Prey" situation.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

But Prey was actually good.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Prey was sooo good.

Sucks for the people who wanted a continuation of the original tho.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

prey 2 was going to be nothing like prey. I'm glad it didn't happen tbh.

For real, immersive sim fans that haven't played it are missing out. It probably should've had a different name though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It did at one point, but I think they were forced to change it to Prey at some point in development. It had a “Shock” title to put it in line with System Shock and Bioshock.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Believe it was 'Neuroshock'

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I had the same reaction to Marathon as well as the new Black Hawk Down.

Im so tried of all these multiplayer games, make a goddamn single player campaign, fuck it add in splitscreen or the ability to play the campaign with friends if you have too

The best thing about Marathon is the shortfilm. Watch that. Then ignore the game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I watched people play the game and was wondering what the hype was all about. The game looked so dull and boring. The outside of the map looled like a game made by a single dev for his indie game. Only yesterday i watched the short film and was loke: oooooooh, i get it, because they lie.
