Tbh they might as well cancel or put this far far on the back burner.

I wonder if they could revive factions and dump this

nah dont cancel it. make a single player campaign use the games original style and story its literally right there... then focus on multiplayer but dont make it the main focus...

If they add a Single player campaign they already admitted defeat


Either release the shyt that it is... or get ready for Concord V2.0

Sony is about to send the Yakuza after Pete Parsons for this debacle

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Seen the red flags the moment no pre order date was set, despite the gamere releasing in September

Just take the L, and use that energy towards Destiny, since that's Bungie's 2001 to The Chronic.

Better to try to make the fans happy then feed them slop...

Fans won't be happy regardless now

Bungie fukked this up stealing artwork again... and to say they have to scrub the entire game shows you just how much they stole and put in the game.

They can't stop cheating in PVP to save their lives... look at Destiny... we just had Tanks vs Brigs mode last week... and cheaters found a way to spawn the brigs in regular PVP modes and give them basically unlimited life and rapid fire... You have cheaters shooting through walls across the map killing you... you have people literally flying around the map... and you think this is going to stop magically with a new game? They haven't stopped it in 10 years! And it's a PVP extraction shooter... let it be what they marketed it as. The leadership hasn't listened to anyone in years... so why start now?

This will fail horribly... devs will lose their jobs, Sony will shut the doors at Bungie and re-appropriate the devs remaining to other projects...

This isn't a prediction, it's a spoiler

Jim Ryan got an ultimatum of walk or be fired. That man tenure has been nothing but fumbles.

3 Billion for headaches and unforced errors.

 

[Inertia Creeps]

Man I ain't forget the shameless praise the media and some of y'all on here were heaping on this slop for it's "one-of-a-kind" amazing art direction. Guess it's actually one of quite a few kinds... shamelessly stolen from others (AGAIN) that is...

It’s Just Over For ‘Marathon’

Marathon has always been teetered on the edge of future failure, but now that seems set in stone after recent events.

The art thing is gross. Stealing design, and possibly framing the entire idea around said stolen art?

Shame too. I think the game is a looker, but I mean that's about it. They should pause and relaunch with better ideas. Extraction shooter is meh IMO.

They might as well just can the whole shyt and announce Destiny 3. This shyt is dead on arrival IMO at this point the world is just waiting to watch it bomb

Marathon Development Update​

14h - Marathon Dev Team​

Thank you not only for your passionate feedback around the Marathon reveal and Alpha playtest, but also for your patience while we took the time to listen closely and chart our next steps.
Through every comment and real-time conversation on social media and Discord, your voice has been strong and clear. We've taken this to heart, and we know we need more time to craft Marathon into the game that truly reflects your passion. After much discussion within our Dev team, we've made the decision to delay the September 23rd release.
The Alpha test created an opportunity for us to calibrate and focus the game on what will make it uniquely compelling—survival under pressure, mystery and lore around every corner, raid-like endgame challenges, and Bungie's genre-defining FPS combat.
We're using this time to empower the team to create the intense, high-stakes experience that a title like Marathon is built around. This means deepening the relationship between the developers and the game's most important voices: our players.
Over the next few months, we'll continue closed testing(including participants from the Alpha) to deploy gameplay updates and test new features as they come online.
Some of our immediate focus areas will be:

• Upping the Survival Game
  • More challenging and engaging AI encounters
  • More rewarding runs, with new types of loot and dynamic events
  • Making combat more tense and strategic
• Doubling down on the Marathon Universe
  • Increased visual fidelity
  • More narrative and environmental storytelling to discover and interact with
  • A darker tone that delivers on the themes of the original trilogy
• Adding more social experiences
  • A better player experience for solo/duos
  • Prox chat, so social stories can come to life

You'll hear from us again later this Fall when we can share the progress we've made, alongside the game's new release date. Thank you again for your patience and— much more importantly— your passion. Your continued feedback will help us make Marathon the incredible gaming experience we all know it can be.

As it should be but it won't be enough to take players from Tarkov.
