Support NeoGAF

[James Sawyer Ford]

Because their studio has been a fucking mess and because just like BioWare, they've been a shell of their former selves for years?

Nah, the last Destiny expansion was peak Destiny

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

If it’s a live service game I am automatically completely uninterested in every imaginable way

 

[viveks86]

Zero interest in this. Any idea how many minutes this would be so I can take a break and pick a friendly argument with someone on GAF?

 

[David Ricardo]

21 million views for an announcement trailer, id say its a thing.

When I saw the afro-asian white woman at the end, that´s when I knew the game was going to be a success

 

[mdkirby]

I dig the theme and aesthetic, would play a great campaign game of it, likely not gonna touch it tho as a gaas extraction

 

[jonnyp]

Eeeewww. Of course.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I wish they made a single player marathon with a magical story

Prepare to be completely uninterested then.

Based on people who have playtested it, it seems like an Escape from Tarkov like. Not a campaign style game.

 

[yogaflame]

There is hope for this GAAS game if they avoid putting ugly designed characters and avoid pronouns and gender ideology crap.

I thought the art direction in this trailer was super strong. Tied that in witha banging sound track and you have a great teaser. Each to their own i suppose.

Since they, most likely, have nothing else 1st party to show, I expect a good boring long 10 minutes...

Destiny 1 and 2 > The whole halo Franchise

[Iced Arcade]

Well at least I don't have to free up time tomorrow now

 

[Hari Seldon]

I will never play this but I'm interested in it from a game design perspective. Also for the lols if it bombs.

Having hope in this to me is exactly the same as expecting something like Veilguard to have been successful.

And what helps the nails reach the coffin even quicker is that it's more gaas garbage.

Nobody wants this. And when I mean nobody, I mean the masses, not the hardcores that live on game forums.

What nonsense.

Some of Bungies output over the last few years has been both peak Destiny and peak Bungie. You might not like it but millions have enjoyed their content, as cam been seen in the CCU figures, consistent sales and high review scores.

Sure there has been mis steps along the way but the good stuff is top tier.

A lot of people are interested in this game as can be seen in the viewing figures for the trailer.

5 things to look for should Marathon gameplay be revealed tomorrow...

1. Strong asymmetry in characters.
Chess is better than Checkers. Overwatch is better than Quake. Marathon must utilize asymmetry to leapfrog Escape from Tarkov.

2. Longer engagement distances.
One of Hunt Showdowns biggest issues imo, is that every engagement happens within 60m of the player. Longer distances give players more time for counterplay.

3. Slower pace of gameplay.
This genre is all about tension. The more it plays like Resident Evil the better. See Exobourne for how NOT to do it.

4. In depth character customization.
I want building Runners to be less Gran Turismo and more Assetto Corsa. Building at hour 128 should be just as fun as building at hour 3.

5. Non combat mechanics.
Anything we can use to win / survive that's not DPS related. Though, this kind of ties into point #1.

The song I will play as I look out the window if this doesn't show up tomorrow...

If you dont like Gaas .. you probably will be on neogaf for the whole thing.

 

[Pop]

well

wtf

 

[Hookshot]

Concord spooked them real good.

 

[simpatico]

Bungie in shambles. Ya hate to see it. They shut down Factions, which was the only one of Sony's zany gaas attempts that had any chance of being playable by regular human beings. And now they can't even make a derivative extraction shooter with minimalist UI, technocolor and overt HDR glow. Wish they were just making Halo 4 bros.

Herman please if you're reading this: If the Bungie game flops and Sony invites you to Japan for a meeting, do not go. Don't even think about it. Just resign and go about your life.

 

[March Climber]

well

wtf

The leaker saw this...



...and left before the title reveal.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Men_in_Boxes shilling fake rumors for GaaS thread content?

 

[Diddy X]

 

[Heaven Angel]

I'd be glad if this is cancelled and buried

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Impressive reveal. Above expectations, I must say. I'm afraid the next one won't be that well received.

 

[Bungie]

I lied.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

I was convinced this was it

Stop believing every rumor. It’s gotten to a point where a SOP gets announced, a bunch of speculation is taken as a “leak”, and y’all somehow get mad at the developer for not announcing anything.

My thoughts exactly

Sony said get that shit outta here

yep and then they decry the SoP as crap and blame Sony for their own unrealistic expectations not being met

 

[clarky]

Nah, the last Destiny expansion was peak Destiny

Nah that was good but Forsaken was peak Destiny. The Dreaming City and the Raid was the best content Bungie has ever done. Subjective of course but that when I had the most fun, for the longest.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

This post will still be relevant in May. Single player games for State of Plays. GAAS juggernauts for Showcases. The natural order...

 

[clarky]

I was convinced this was it

Me too, I was actually disappointed watching it, then a weird sense of relief that it wasn't actually Marathon.

I'll pee out of my butt (in a bad way) if the gameplay is fast paced BS like that.

Im fullly expecting a similar pace to Destiny gunplay.

I'd like to see more of this game please its been ages since the reveal

 

[EN250]

I was convinced this was it

for a moment, when the chick was being rebuilt or whatever, but then remembered the marathon one was asian and was more robot/doll like

"leaker" saw this and thought yep, that's that...

 

[Shubh_C63]

Difference in quality made it clear within few seconds that was not Marathon.

 

[ViciousAgenda]

Marathon lol

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

Wouldn’t be surprised if this thing was cancelled too.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Wouldn’t be surprised if this thing was cancelled too.

We can only hope.
