Honestly this feels like a hell of an evolution for the original trilogies cyberpunk world. Where in the original, the Battleroids were hungry war machines, crafted by a a system at war, now they are commercialized by the mega corps. So dystopian. I live for this shit
My eyes were destined to feast on Marathons visuals. I wish i could cybernetically enhance my eyeballs to see everything through the lense that is this style. The bold colors and sleek industrial architecture mixed with nature and biology is candy to my eyes.
It's always been my fav artistic style, it's like mirrors edge but even further Sci fi, which I think both are great but marathon I'd just a genuine new world to see, it's spectacular as an artists I've always loved Sci fi graphic design and I gave never seen a game go this far into visual design it's so cool😄
10 seconds in and this is already better editing quality then 99% of youtube channels out there. Insanity how good you are at emulating a style that feels so much like marathon from what we've seen. Keep it up man!
Just got done from binging all your videos, and you best describe my excitement for it especially when you referenced the art and aesthetic I have also noticed from other games (WipEout,Mirrors Edge,Rez)
I’ve seen so many people complain about the art style not looking like marathon. And while I do agree it doesn’t look much like marathon 1 and infinity it most definitely doesn’t look a lot like marathon 2. That game had a lot of vibrant colors and this new marathon seems like the next step of that visual style.
Long time destiny player and I am very excited about marathon, despite there being almost no information. Really cool video to see a breakdown of such a cool style. Hope your channel gets some more appreciation for the quality content! Keep it up dude!
I’m so glad this style of art is finally coming to the gaming space, as an artist who draw this sci fi graphic design it’s so nice to see it in the industry. Also your video are fantastic and I love that you editing style fits the aesthetic Chefs kiss to you my friend 😀
You're basically Destiny Updates 2.0, I loved that channel. I played all the original marathon games and honestly I'm very skeptical. It's not that I dislike the new art direction, It's that I know I'm going to like the game, and games I like don't perform well lol. This game may fail on a expectation front, but I bet every other game will incorporate it's elements into theirs, like Apex Legends for instance. So while it may not do well, It will live on in other ways, like how many shooters adopted mirrors edges movement mechanics over-time. And you know what.. I'm okay with that. I'm looking forward to the game.
@synthdream Well said, for me Marathon stands so much higher than majority of other extraction shooters (and most games in general) because of the lore being so rich and developed, with people still discussing it 30 years later. I've never seen this sort of thing before, which excites me a lot. I hope it does go well. If anything, I'm 100% sure every streamer and youtuber will be playing at launch!
Marathon's style is incredible, but nothing especially new. The style existed for some time in graphic design and concept art sphere. But this is probably one of the first games that actually adopted this style. This shows how you can both accept the risk and also adopt something that has proven itself in other places
wow this video is pure art. i was so hyped when i stumbled across the trailer shortly after it released and now i found your video and channel out of nowhere
I have 2000 hours on the cycle, the reason this game is already super interesting to me is because to me it’s similar and i agree that the cycle paved the way for these new extraction shooters. The asthetic is dope and very vibrant. It reminds me of Avatar Not the anime but the blue alien world of pandora. It’s so interesting and pretty. I also love pvp so this game is just gonna be great. I love it and its lore. I recently played steam free Marathoj trilogy the old one and it’s fire
Hell yeah, i definitely get what you mean about Avatar, the world seems so mysterious yet beautiful. I really enjoyed the cycle when playing it, however that game had no where near the depth of lore and thought out game direction as Marathon. Which only makes me more excited as they have countless games to learn from and improve Marathon!
@@bonnuuoq I was already not very interested in an extraction shooter, but considering the latest leaks point towards them pivoting to some kind of hero shooter (weather or not ist also still an extraction shooter I don’t know) I am out, I have no interest in another hero shooter. I find them pretty boring and not very engaging. Hell concord is the newest hero shooter made by ex bungie devs and that seems to be dead on arrival
You have the perfect video essay voice, I'm kinda envious. Also, love that the videos are short and digestible. Keep up the good work. I can't get enough of Marathon's aesthetic and I hope deep customization is a huge part of the game.
@@bonnuuoq Which I understand, sometimes devs doesn't want to feel like they're making the same game, I guess I'm just a big fan of that old art style.
@@bonnuuoqBut Marathon didn't look like Halo. Look I get it they want to do something different. So make a new IP or just base this in Destiny's universe and go nuts. This isn't Marathon. No campaign no buy.
The visuals of this game are gorgeous. But I still can't get over the fact it's a damn extraction shooter. Any lore will be entirely supplemental at best. Granted, I'm a fan of PvE games... I feel like giving this game such a unique artstyle and then developing it as an extraction shooter of all things did indeed put me off to the concept.
I have absolutely zero faith in this game as a thing that's gonna be remotely enjoyable to play... But this art direction had better win some fucking awards. They've got something incredibly special on their hands.
I REALLY hope Marathon doesn't suck. The trailer is AMAZING, I was HYPED for the game. Except... Last i heard it got changed so someone else was running the whole project, and the game had been changed to another hero shooter; is that true?
@PyroNite36 Joe zeigler is now the game director with Christopher barret, becoming executive creative director, An IGN article stated that the game is moving towards a hero shooter. but that is only a rumour. Nothing else has been said. literally just that. I'm also super hyped for this game, can't wait!
Because it's a different term why can't you guys just use Google you know how language works punk just means "grungy" it's not referring to the literal punk movement steampunk isn't literally punk
I prefer the 90's aesthetic. This looks like Jackson Pollock took some extacy, ate a very colourful cake, drank a bottle of bourbon and this is what he vomited onto the canvas.
@@bonnuuoq to each their own m8. IF they add a fleshed out narrative driven campaign (like..... Marathon. I still have the box set and have Aleph one on my phone for the trilogy) then they have my attention. Others like extraction shooters but not my thing. To me that's not Marathon. But I get it. I'm 42 I'm not the target audience.

already suscribed, great channel
"Combat androids branded like sneakers" - thats cool. Eagerly awaiting gameplay footage or even a peep out of bungie about it. It's been over a year!
That quote really stood out to me too, I love the idea of it. I cant wait any longer, seeing creator playtests makes me super excited!
Getting in on the Marathon community early, very smart
Another banger of a vid, my hopium container has once more been filled.
Man your videos are next level. The editing, music choice, narrative information, just everything. It fits the vibe of marathon. Keep up!!
3:47 I like how "Tau Ceti IV" is just a model of Earth lol.
The choice of music and editing in this video is superb🔥
Thankyou!
OMFG!
Great editing, design and delivery. Subbed.
Good luck. Hope that Marathon will be good and you’ll be able to build a community that will celebrate it.
I could easily watch a 3 hour documentary version of this, great job!
I am looking forward to seeing this channel grow in the future!
:)

Hell yea! Thank you so much!
If to like this game enough, I might buy the art book for it because the visual alone are one of my favorite.
The editing Is so good. Man please continue with the creation of this videos. The hype for this game Is uncontainable 🤯
Thankyou so much, no plans to stop any time soon!
Just got done from binging all your videos, and you best describe my excitement for it especially when you referenced the art and aesthetic I have also noticed from other games (WipEout,Mirrors Edge,Rez)
i would love to learn how to recreate this style for some 3d modeling, it has captivated me
genuinely same
Great presentation and also voice! :]
Excellent video!

Thank you so much! it is fun having to scour the internet for info!
What a wonderful bit of content to feed my love for Marathon

Yess this type of graphic design is truly special, I love the inclusion of the AI's and the grungy/ Arty look they give the game. Thankyou so much!

I think the lore is going to be super complex from what we have already seen. Super excited about it.
I definitely agree, I think it will be a large part of the game, but not exactly in your face. I hope the ARG sets an example
If they're hoping to continue the legacy of the original games in any way whatsoever, it should be.
wow this video is pure art. i was so hyped when i stumbled across the trailer shortly after it released and now i found your video and channel out of nowhere

I appreciate it a lot, Thankyou! and same here, the style of the game would allow for such awesome customization too 🙏
I don't hate the new art style, I think it looks really nice, I just prefer the classic gritty utilitarian look.
I get that, it's a massive change, however I think a large part of it was them not wanting to create something that looked exactly like halo again

is there a release date?
@@mr.jbusiness6679 Not yet
:(
Are they any Aliens or animals in the lore ? Like its only PvP or PvPvE?
There is an alien race of slavers called the "phfor" as well as the "sphit" who we will likely be fighting in the game
I do wish people would stop calling everything "______punk" when it hardly has a thing to do with punk.
