    I feel very scared for the customization, they specifically said "hero" and not "class". Plenty of hero based games have less unique customization, like you get a skin rather than crafting your own outfit. Hero based games also give the feeling of "I'm playing THIS character with defined lore and personality and voice lines" rather than playing your own character with your crafted playstyle and your own imagined personality. Hero based games also have the problem of "Oh I enjoy the gameplay but I hate the character". I'm just hoping the hero based version is backpedaled or it was a misunderstanding but I imagine I'll be sorely disappointed.

      From my understanding of how the word was actually used in the context of the rest of the sentence, it seemed like they just meant “hero” in the sense of customization, which sounds like it just means preset skins with some customization for those skins based on what you pick up. I don’t think the gameplay itself will have hero shooter mechanics

      From how the word was actually used, it honestly sounds like they just meant a set of skins that serve as “heroes,” not that the gameplay itself will have hero shooter mechanics.

    Instead of cancelling it, make it into a single player game. It would be such a waste to reboot the Marathon series, just to turn it into just a multiplayer only game. What happened to releasing games with both? We used to almost akways get a campaign and a multiplayer

      If I remember correctly, Marathon’s story-telling was far more implicit than it was direct, which adds to the mystery of the game. From what I’m getting at with how the devs are describing it, it seems that Bungie can definitely pull that off in a multiplayer PvP extraction shooter, so long as they do it right (which it sounds like they are, at least from what we know so far)

    It's funny cause while the art seems kind of reminiscent of some of the durandal load screens (the dark screenshot with the two snipers), just with more neon colors, them calling it "beautiful" just to then be immediately juxtaposed by some of the most horrendous color combinations in that locker room screenshot was funny. It's like textureless Cruelty Squad. Been listening to Jake's videos and the story setup sounds really cool, though.

    It’s not unusual for Bungie to throw out an entire body of work, or a concept entirely. in favor of a reboot. They’ve done it several times in the past, and it looks like they’re doing it again. The original halo games that they were at the Helm of had more than a few references to Marathon within them. Almost leaving people to believe: that halo and marathon took place in the same universe, now that 343 has the franchise that’s clearly not the case.
    Troubled development going on here to be sure..

    this game looks really dope, but I hope the movement is nothing like destiny/halo/valorant. Those games are so floaty and slow, the acceleration not being faster feels really bad. Also it being a sony title, aim assist will probably be disgustingly strong so thats not great. Best artsyle ive ever seen. As an overwatch player, the hero shooter thing is slightly disappointing unless they do it really well, we don't really know much about it yet so hard to say.

Now if all the behind the scene rumors are true and Sony doesn't want the game, Bungie management just wanna cut and run, and what ever Marathon Joe first dreamed being long forgot in the pursuit of market dominance. It more likely that the worse case sceniro and the game is a flop then what ever player base the game get will be squeezed for every last penny they have till the game is fully dead.

    If I was Bungie, I would insert some sort of extraction mode into Destiny 2 in the next few months/asap to test out an already large existing player base to gauge impressions, etc. I would also add PvE to Marathon since that's their meat & potatoes player base, as I just found out from that one friend that plays Tarkov that they also have both PvP and PvE modes. I would definitely play Marathon if the game had PvE and exploration/quests/secrets.

    • @lonerjb
      @lonerjb  2 місяці тому +1

      I agree 100% with having a pve and pvp mode. Bungie innovated so much with halo back in the day and with destiny. While they are a very different studio I am still hoping for that magic. I was really hoping to see something before the end of this year, with the recent rumours I am not sure we will sadly.

    hey so uhh.. did you know that HERO + SHOOTER = HEROSHOOTER?
    game was originally gonna be a PvPvE Shooter. take the cool character customizations out, add heroes, and it becomes a HERO PvPvE Shooter. hell, knowing AAA, they gonna turn it into a boring ass PvP HERO SHOOTER like overwatch. even if it ain't boring, it will still not be as cool as the original vision. EVER.
    and even if they say it isn't, THEY STILL DIRECTLY REFERRED TO THE CHARACTERS AS. HEROES. but yeh sorry to nitpick your vid. it was a cool to one to watch :)
    oh yeah, i would also make the distinction that heroshooters and Class based shooters are different due to the shift in modern gaming and the way it differs. basically it comes down to this: if the characters have established names, facial features, voices ETC, then they are HEROES. think BF2042, TF2, Overwatch. classes are better in that you SHOULD be able to customize nearly everything about your character except for your starting abilities. Think older Battlefield's, the finals, Titanfall2.
    of course, there are some games that blur the line lol. but then they'd be classified as both.

If they did a story mode I could see marathon being halo mixed with dead space and freaking awesome!
