Grubb: Marathon reveal is incoming

At last. Sad that this game is described as make or break for the studio as a whole. Hope for the best.

It needs to be as innovative and fresh as Destiny was at launch. I’m not sure they can do it again. I really hope so, because the premisces were intriguing. But people have less tolerance for timewasters and running-around shooters nowadays. The game needs some really good hooks and a mountain of content right out of the gate.

I hope this game finds an audience but it just kills me that the revival of a story/lore focused single player series is a PVP extraction shooter. Especially with that stellar art direction.

Wait, it’s a revival? Of an existing IP?

It was made by Bungie before Halo

Yes, I too was interested when hearing Marathon but then NOPEd out so fast when they said “PvP Extraction”.

Oh wow, the more you know.

Interested to see what it is but not particularly hopeful. Hope it succeeds just for their sake.

That’s where I’m at. All my excitement died after that initial reveal, but I want it to succeed because I’m tired of seeing closures and layoffs, and there’s already too much terrible shit going on.
