Well I thought it looked good if I'm in the minority with that then fair play.
I suppose the reason for me would be I like playing 'new' types of games and having not played a game that similar before, it would be a new experience for me even if not an entirely new concept as a whole.
Also looks colourful which I like. I'm 36 years old and for many many years, shooting games have had a dark grey or brown muddy wash over them, it's only just recently more colorful shooters have appeared. Ie overwatch and similar. Even the new call of duty starting from 2019 have become more colorful.
Also looks to be element of climbing some sort of Parkour adventure style platforming that may just be for the trailers though.
Of course he can't, Marathon is sitting at 370k on PS channel, while SM2 is at over 7m, and at over 9m on Marvel. Just the usual spread of misinformation from team Phil.
He's not wrong, marathon got an insane number of views in 24 hrs. It barely edged out Spiderman 2 Although that shouldn't be a surprise as the game trailer for Spiderman 2 is over 10 mins and marathon is just a teaser trailer.
That because marathon has Youtube ads, youtube count ads for views just see the likes counter it only has 6.9k likes for 18m views lol compare that to spiderman 2 with 370k likes. it can only mean it's either an ads, bot or actually getting dislike bombed but we can't see that because youtube hide dislike view.
honestly, the only thing I took from the article; I completely forgot about Deviation Games. Made up of former Treyarch vets, they signed with Sony back in 2021 to develop an exclusive IP. Wonder what military shooter they got up their sleeves? A man can dream for Socom! Got a nice company website but obviously no deets on the game.
Seems everyone gets their knickers in knots over Sony doing a lot of GaaS titles but I've noticed a lot of these games are being made with upstarts and not Sony's premier studios with the exception of Bungie. Most of the criticisms stem from CGI trailers with zero gameplay. I'll wait and reserve judgement till I see more. I'd play a more polished version of Payday 2 with mates since I have no faith in Starbreeze
The music and art style was cool but the trailer didn't give us gameplay to get excited over. I hear it's also an extraction shooter which can be hit or miss.
The only thing I’m excited for is Marathon.
They just look so generic, I don’t see any first party Sony magic in any of them
The thing is if hypothetically they under perform then Sony will rethink its entire strategy
The game I think they are hoping to impress the most is Fairgame$ as they brought the studio right off the bat.
