As many have known, Mass Effect: Andromeda is receiving mixed reception, and mostly negative ones if you frequent social media. All those horrid animations and uncanny facial features are unfortunately true. For a AAA game in 2017 those janky animations don’t fly anymore, especially from a studio that has the resources to not let this happen.
Warner Bros. Games has set a new leadership team and restructured around Harry Potter, "Game of Thrones," "Mortal Kombat" and the DC Universe IPs.
Shift Up once again proves that they appreciate their team, as they have just rewarded their developers with new Nintendo Switch 2s to celebrate the Stellar Blade sales reaching 3 million.
Marathon was slated to launch on Sept. 23, 2025 across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation, but Bungie will share the new release date in the fall.
It will lessen though and possibly make all the difference if it launches in a state that rectified a lot of the issues people had with it. A LOT of ifs of course.
If you really gotta play ... play the better extraction shooter this year : ARC Raiders
They can't cancel it until a themed controller has been released first... like concord.
If they were absolutely certain about the quality of Marathon, then they had not delayed it just now.
So they've basically just confirmed what everyone, well, a lot of people saw: Marathon is not ready yet, still no soul to be seen.
"Doubling down on the Marathon Universe"
They're doubling down on soul, thank goodness this feedback illuminated that for them...
and N4G was littered with comments like : Marathon looks really good, maybe you're a hater and the likes blah blah ... especially under articles which compared it with Arc Raiders ....
Okay. It has "okay" environments. There are no insane lighting techniques going on here like in The Witcher 3 or Horizon Zero Dawn though. And even then there are places where vegetation is static and doesn't move whatsoever, even on the planets that have wind lol.
I think thats more to do with frostbite than anything but I could be wrong.
