That’s good for the artist, but I’ll be very surprised if this game recovers from the lost goodwill. Especially with how successful arc raiders is, I don’t see this game carrying the hype it did before
This game didn’t stand a chance regardless of this incident.
I’d bet some significant amount of the hype was from people thinking “Oh, sick! The Marathon franchise is getting a revival!” without realizing that the new game had essentially no relation to the Marathon franchise they remembered. I don’t know who they think is sitting around thinking, “You know what I want? Another live service extraction shooter.”
Honestly, I hope it flops for what they have done. I’m happy for Arc Raiders, a great example of how they should have done it.
You hope it flops because of a few assets stolen from an artist.
I hope it flops for parading around the dead corpse of the Marathon IP with really bad makeup and the limbs sewn on in the wrong places.
We are not the same.
You are assuming.
Same. I had hope originally because I’m a huge halo fan … but this is not the same Bungie that made halo CE – reach
This should have been an actual marathon sequel. Not some live service trash that’s gonna be forgotten about in a year or 2 at absolute best
Sony doesn’t want a single player or even co-op sequel to an old Macintosh shooter though, they want live service money.
If I remember correctly they had some unannounced competitive FPS in the works before Sony bought them and that project most likely was Marathon. I don’t think this has anything to do with what Sony wants and Bungie themselves decided to go down this route.
I hope the game is a running simulator, I gotta get back to training for the 40k after what the panny demmy locky downies did to my body
