According to Xbox-Achiv, the USK (aka the German ESRB) has rated Marathon: Durandal.
Marathon, if you haven't already wet yourself with glee, is a classic Bungie franchise. (Yeah, they actually made games before a man in green armor changed everything.)
Marathon originally debuted in 1994 on the Macintosh and completed the trio of releases in 1996. Halo owes much of its genesis to Marathon, so all you Halo junkies, get to learnin'.
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.
Would be great to finally get it.
This should be a lot of fun. To be honest i can't believe they've been putting it off for this long.
The original only ran on Macs, so practically nobody got it. ;-)
This should be great.
Does any one know what kind of MP the original had? Because when it comes to XBLA that is what usually defines a games longevity.
marathon was the $#@*! i played a lot of this as a child, great game. i actually found a version of marathon that i could get to run on my pc just to reminisce.
