"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.

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

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.

Believe it was 'Neuroshock'

Prey was sooo good.

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

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

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