Bungie's early work, Marathon, is now available to download on the Xbox Live Arcade. Marathon is credited as the game that eventually led to the creation of the Halo series.
Marathon Durandal costs 800 MS points. It is avaialble in all regions.
Bungie's extraction shooter revival for Marathon has been making progress despite studio struggles, but one change makes it sound way worse.
Insider Gaming exclusively reports some early details on Bungie's new Marathon game, including its gameplay loop, features, and more.
Kind of a shoot yourself in the foot before the race starts kind of statement. I've yet to see the crowd excited for GaaS titles. I've seen the hype for this fizzle out and die on discovery it was a GaaS after reveal.
A tall order to claim and live up to, with so many (myself included) sick of the extreme nickel and diming the industry has now.
I bet it will, it will have the most micro transactions in than any other game, and they'll be much more expensive, call of duty charged you for a red dot? Well prepare yourself because they will charge you to be able to turn left, so buckle up for the ultimate live service experience fellow gamers
Says the people who had to rebuild Destiny after a complete failure out of the gates.
The reveal of Bungie's revival of the Marathon franchise at the PlayStation Showcase makes good on Sony's intentions with studio acquisitions.
😩 Microsoft said 100x case by case with Zenimax and you can’t compare Zenimax to bungie. Let wait til Sony buy SquareEnix or Capcom and see what Sony going to do with them.
Bungee in my imo is how Ms treat their MMO studios and Minecraft they let release games on others platforms.
One would even ask why Sony have purchased Bungie in the first place. If every Bungie game's gonna be multiplatform GAAS anyway.
And its a bad move, because of what Microsoft is doing. A teaser of marathon did 13 million views in one day. Huge hype with just a cgi trailer.
"playstation is all about SINGLE PLAYER STORY DRIVEN EXLUSIVE GAMES! So here's a Multiplatform, multiplayer game from one our recent acquisitions!" LMFAO.
In all seriousness tho, I LOVE the design of this game so far. the aesthetics and graphic design are killer.
Its not that bad accually just get used to the motion sickness and you will be fine (oooww my head is spining got to lay down)
I cannot see what all the hype is about. This game is sterile experience and is not even as fun as the original Doom. Although it has ok graphics given when it was released I have say it does not hold up well and offers nothing in the way of satisfying gameplay.
I'm glad XBLA allows you to try before you buy as 800 points for this seems a little high.
I was a big Marathon fan back in the day and spent hours making mods in forge. That said, I think Doom holds up better; having computer terminals tell you to push switches and find keycards is not any more fun than just finding them yourself.
whatever, you guys expect to much, it's awesome and thats final.
Motion sickness is crazy in this game I played for 10 minutes and my head was spinning and I was burping
