FAURRRK , THIS LOOKS SO COOL!
>>733690743Are you playing the Server Slam on Thursday?
where do I sign up to post about this game, and how much can I expect to be paid?
I'm gonna have a blast!!
>>733690743the aesthetic of this game feels like it's almost good but just looks weird and uncanny insteadlooks like it all just takes place in a simulation
>>733690976This x1000!!!! I, for one cannot wait I am so HYPED to scavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV as a bio-cybernetic Runner in a PvPvE survival extraction FPS from the creators of Halo and Destiny!!!!!This is gonna be EPIC!
>>733690743>People are starting to wake up and appreciate MarathonWhen everything is Concord, nothing is Concord. You played yourself /v/, well done.
>>733690743Still have no clue what this game is even about
>>733690743Forget this, did yall see that clip of Grace getting sawed in half?
>>733691101running i think
>>733691075the 5 trannies on your trannycord aren't "people", thoughbeit
>>733691101It's a tarkovlike
>>733691101Concordlike
>>733691398i bought tarkov back in nov when it went on steam, im only really starting to appreciate it now though, that game is kino
>>733690743chudbros...people are having a blast... we are getting humiliated...
I have hooded protagonist fatigue.
>>733690743what about the gameplay?
>>733690743A return to... having a blast!
>>733690743heat?
>>733691101tarkov clone n1247
>>733690743Synthetik 2 looking good.
>>733691451>Concordlikeflop-like (layoff-like)
>>733690743>THIS LOOKS SO COOLYeah? What does the actual game play look like?
>>733692051>layoff-likelool
flopslop
>>733690743I thought it had already released and flopped.
>>733690743fuuuuark you're a gay cuuuuunt
>>733690743It at least looks like it uses strong colors, which is more than I could say for almost the entire western industry
>>733694975The actual game is washed out in antisoul gas
>>733690743This is cooler
>>733691042I unironically love the art style, but the animations and set pieces are trash. It feels like a really high budget Half-Life 2 mod.
>>733690743The vibe has shifted.
>>733690743Nice gameplay you got there
They fucking cooked.........Note to all the fucking haters......SIT.THE.FUCK.DOWN
I'll be enjoying the articles on how this flopped and it's gamer's fault in 2 months time.
>>733690743>A cinematic, not actual gameplay.it's garbage
>>733698148How do I go about being a paid shill? Do I have to be Indian or Brazilian or what?
>>733690743>game mode that caters to niggers >aesthetic that caters to twitter trannies
>>733690976me too
>>733698148looks like she fell into a dumpster
>>733698735do the needful
>>733690743What's the price tag?
uhh...am I crazy? That does look cool though...
>>733690743It does, then I remember it's multiplayer gaas slop, then I look at the actual in-game graphics and I stop thinking about it.
>>733700272It's an extraction shooterCan't get more niche than that
>>733690743>ASS>ASS>INWhat did they mean by this?
>>733691456I'm running it on my rtx5090 build and it still runs like ass, the framerate keeps jumping between 90FPS and 180FPS in 2160p, i tried it on my previous build (rtx3070) and i only got 80-110FPS but it felt the same amount of janky.i tried messing around with the settings but it feels the same amount of floaty and janky, i feel like I'm slowly gliding along a vaseline covered floor when playing EfT, what am i doing wrong?i put 100+ hrs into it in 2024 but the queue time and the jank just made me quit and seeing how it runs on my current rig just made me want to give up on the game for good.
>>733692051>flop-like (layoff-like)
What's up with all these Marathon shill threads?
A true return to form... form of having a blast!
What’s the marathon general gonna be called?
>>733700904it already exists unless it fell off page 10
>>733700904/mage/
>>733692051>>733700740There will still be layoffs even if it doesnt flop btw
Flop slop
>>733700904ptg (page ten general)
>>733691101Play-Doh Lego Destiny
>>733698148>cute chick>becomes uglylmaoCOOKED
>>733690743>Dev room/Target practice room aesthetics with some cyberpunk on itNo matter how you dip it in artistic lighting, it will always look like shit
The set shells with no personalization are a complete misstep Long term it leads to awful metafaggotry and players becoming less and less invested in the PC when thats the entire thrill of the genre
>>733701020i love flopslop
average 'thon hater iq on display
>>733690743>FAURRRK , THIS LOOKS SO COOL!
looks like a cut-scene from hunt down the freeman
>>733703970why did you edit out the list of accounts?
>>733690743Wow…it actually looks epic now. Looks like the delay eventually lead to a better art direction. Sony delivered again. I’m so hyped for the server slam on the 26th of February!
Unofficial Marathon>Official Marathon
>>733705414I didn't. that's his own list lolhttps://x.com/ShitpostRock/status/2026012181792440498
I remember this game
What's the game's story?
>>733705910game?story?
>>733705315It's impressive how much this looks like an actual gun from the game
Made by tranny devs
i can't wait for the bungie special>dmg_control defending the company 24/7>wipes act as sunsetting so they can recycle the old stuff later>$20+tip dlcs to keep playing the game with barebone content while the cash shop gets everything>cheaters never caught but someone who forgets a non-marathon mod tool open gets instabanned>we're listening, team is jamming
>>733698114EYE and NT are great tho

>>733690743What Roblox mod is this?
rain glows because vague, aimless sci-fieverything is bathed in neon light because vague, aimless sci-fired eyes because vague, aimless sci-fiskybox has multiple celestial objects because vague, aimless sci-fisymbols, text and shapes placed on everything because vague, aimless sci-fi
>>733705789I remember when they decided to release the game early as opposed to delay it.What an interesting decision that was looking back on it.
>>733690743No, it does not. I hate clankers and the gameplay is shit.
>>733691914This so fucking much.
>>733690743im stoked for thursday bros, do i get anything special during the server slam if i preorder??
>>733703970why did you ignore all the blatant shill accounts that follow his description?
>>733690743So what was the revolutionary new ranking system they were touting?
IM GONNA BLAST, OH OH OH, IM BLASTINGGGG
>>733708571not gonna be there on release but basically you risk higher rank wager with a higher value pool you bring in, more rank gain the more you extract with basically
Not a single poster in this thread is real. Not a single post for marathon is legitimate its all from jeet bot farms
>>733705789this is still one of the biggest gaming disappointments I've ever had
>>733690743It does look pretty good though?
>>733708787Seems like I missed when Bethesda made it F2P at some point. https://store.steampowered.com/app/22350/BRINK/
>>733690743Man I hate Rey Skywalker choreography. She didn't fucking dodge, she just did a spin. The fat father and son rednecks who shot the methhead over a dumpster would have been able to hit her, that shit pisses me off so much. Literally why did he miss? There was no reason whatsoever, it was just a standard regular human speed twirl.
>>733708608Why did she have sex with the monkeys?
>>733709153That was Honoka.
LOCKED.IN.READY.2.SLAMam I doing it right?
>>733690743is this based on some kind of indian fad? i dont get it
>>733690743>Marathon >no aliens>shitty 3d printed retards>no cyborg killing machine >no actual marathon ship Why is this even called Marathon?I used to think at least Bungie could do some interesting environment design with it because as shitty as D2 is at least it has good art direction. But they haven't managed to even show that off. This just looks like they wanted to really cheaply resell D2's crappy PvP modes.
Not even the cgi trailer looks interesting. Why does he move so slow and like a real normal person? Stupid.
>>733696621HOLY BASED
>>733714219>Why is this even called Marathon?they owned the IP already and convinced some suits it was a "remake" of a popular game
>>733714219As far as I know the game didn't even have any references to the original Marathon in it's first run of playtests, it's only after the game got terrible reviews that they started putting in shit like Tau Ceti and allusions to Durandal
>>733714219I have no interest in the game but even I'm aware they have aliens in the game. The red cloak green gem floaty dudes will be in some random semi-hidden locations as scarier enemies
>>733708530I didn't. Look at the comment section, everyone is laughing at him, just like everyone here is laughing at you.
>>733691914Synthetik 2's character design is actually rad, these guys just look horrible.
>>733707358so proud of myself for quitting Destiny 2 a few years ago. It's been tempting, but I haven't gone back since
why is there only one thread at any given time in /v/? do people not wanna talk about our game?
>>733718379it's not out yet
>>733690743this but unironically
>>733714504Durandal, Tau Ceti, the Marathon, and S'pht Compilers were all in the very first trailers from April of last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvbEnWLRo1s
>>733698148Imagine the stench
>>733700904/Concord3/
>>733718256the only time it was """worth""" getting back was when they had that edge of fate free weeks, just to spite bungie and play it for free
>>733718825so? is nobody hyped?
>>733690743Looks insanely gay, and if you like this you’re also a genuine faggot
>>733719192after Destiny 2, no
I'd be interested if it were an SP included and not gay. Like actual Marathon
>>733719000huawk S'pht on that thang.
How many of you are killing yourselves after this game is a massive success?
>>733691101100 years after the distress signal from the original marathon went out, corporations have received it and are now sending runners (people who upload their consciousness to shells, worm-weaved "printed" bodies that can house a consciousness) to do a variety of tasks on their behalf related to the shipwreck, which scattered valuables onto the planet below, a colony whose inhabitants have mysteriously disappeared. those tasks can be things like, retrieving valuable unclaimed tech/data/valuables, reclaiming company property, curiosity/altruism/claim to fame in being the first to find out what happened to the colonists, and in some corporations/groups cases, disruption and chaos. lastly, the uesc robots that used to serve the marathon are rogue and making those runners' jobs difficult. in terms of relation to the original marathon, we see a spht wandering the halls briefly in a trailer, and one of the voices we hear in a trailer is likely durandals. also small things from the original are now more major lore points, such as cyberacme and nucaloric being major factions/corporations
>>733719405but I'm not trans
>>733719192I am, can't wait to have a blast
>>733719745based blast haver
>>733690976blast-haver bros we're sooo back with dis one!!!
>>733692121game?
>>733707147sneed
>>733708732Did you get banned from spamming Marathon threads?
The only reason /v/ is mad is because they lack 2 friends to play with.
>>733719435>everything interesting from ogMarathon removed (aliens, larger conflicts)>left with just 3D printed retards doing suicide runs for megacorps>opposed not by BOBs but faceless robots for some reason>Aliens MIGHT be present as an inconsequential secret you find in some closetIt's brave of Bungie to torpedo their own game to make some social commentary but I don't think it's the way to sell a game
>>733690743thats just a fucking hunter, bravo Bungie
If you have an ability to go invisible, why not just shoot people at short range instead of going into melee and risk getting grappled?
completely organic and totally not a shill OP
>>733722292damn you chrom, I did it
>>733722383not enough seething about tr@nis for you, faggot?
>>733722461Didn't even bring up troons sharty tardy
>>733691075OP is obviously being ironic, dumbass
>>733722292Instant melee finisher
>>733705315Sorry anon, I got the collector's edition, so my gun is better than yours.
>>733705789Take the name of my beloved Brink out of your WHORE mouth. It was way more interesting visually and thematically than this.
>>733707939Aimblox
>>733722383I think the jannies might be doing their jobs for once and deleting the other marathon shill spam threads.
HOLY! forced bungie shilled jeet thead
>>733723478Guess Bungie's check didn't clear kek
>>733719435>boring pseudo robots bullshitdropped.
>>733723545It could also be the shilling slowing down, which would be more interesting because maybe that means the flop is locked in and they don't see a point in trying to market it anymore.
>>733722683>shartyI maybe retarded but I am not a sharty, as you call it
>>733722383>completely organic and totally not a shill OP
>>733722110Delusion / lies.
>>733721931wrong
>>733724129But all of that is true, shillbro. Ain't no ayys in this shit and it's all just losers running around shooting other losers and ugly robots in human building environments.
>>733722110The aliens are still there, at least one Compiler is the boss in the pseudo-raid on the Marathon ship. The Phfor were very unsubtly mentioned multiple times in the private tests in addition to connections to Infinity. They'll probably show up a few months after release.
Making Marathon into an extraction shooter is such a fucking tone-deaf move that's only equal to Bethesda trying to make a Rust clone with Fallout 76. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
>>733723231>>733705315holy KEK! now this just BTFO'd the dilating MARATROONS!!! CONCORD 3!!!!!!!
>>733724407bungie is delusional
>>733722110No one played the poor Doom clones that was the OG Marathon series though and the lore / storytelling in the new game is way beyond what the OG Marathon series did.Aliens will also be in the game and even more will be added.Also the bobs are all dead or in cryosleep on the Marathon ship.Calling us shills is also total delusion on your part because /V/ has less than 100 unique posters.So in short that is a hell of a lot of seethe and cope on your end.
>>733724407>hey, we need a new game since Destiny 2 is running out of Steam>you know, I found this old trademark we have for something called 'Marathon'>let's use that because new trademarks are expensive and take too long>sure, ok>so, is it a game?>fuck if I know, I don't play this nerd shit>me either
>>733724407>peopleInvestorsBoomer and normalfag Investors. One half is Blackrock shoehorning in ugly dykes fags and niggers, the other half is retarded out of touch normalfag boomer investors who just see popular thing and wants their thing to have that thing too.
>>733724747You wrote a whole shill paragraph just to say>none of the actual Marathon content is in the game at launch>the old games don't matter>YOU are the one who is copingShameful.
>>733724747Marathon isn't even a Doom clone. And if it is, it sure as hell isn't a poor one, even as games they're better than Doom.
>>733724128>its ironic>just a prank>I was merely pretendingPuckering up that Schrodinger's asshole.
>>733724840>Oh my god they didn't made a 2.5D Doom clone in 2026!>WHAT WERE BUNGLE THINKING?!
>>733724840cope
>>733724915Fucking kek.the OG Marathon's have always been poor Doom clones. Cheap imitations.
>>733724747>w-we're not shills>confidently posts info only a marketer or employee would knowAnd the tired "b-but NOBODY played the og games" is marketer cope. Clearly plenty of people did and do care about them, or it wouldn't come up in these threads as much. People aren't bringing ogMarathon up just to shitpost. Their pointing out valid questions about why Bungo is even using the name in the first place and the constant deflection with "nobody played them and they weren't good anyway" is just sad realization they made a big misstep by using the name at all.
>>733690743>FAURRRKBuy an ad.
>>733725065
>>733725065>Bungle if you weren't going to make a Doom clone then why did you even bother using the name Marathon?!
>>733724952Actually, an Ion Fury-style Marathon game could be fucking great. Charge $20 for it, have a nice 8-10 hour multi episode campaign. I'd buy it. And you could make it with a team of 5 or 10 people over the course of a year or two and not the hundreds who shat out numarathon.>>733721729>>733725121>>733724958This is one of the regular shills who likes using the same half dozen images.
>>733725241You and like 2 other people maybe.
>>733725065>>confidently posts info only a marketer or employee would knowEverything he said was publicly known info thoughbeit
>>733725139Correct. Or a sp dungeon crawler shooter like the system shock remake. Just anything that has an actual relationship with Marathon instead of a mp slop that might maybe have some of the original enemies and a few audio logs referencing the og that no one will pick up because limited inventory.
>>733690743Goddamn, that's gay.
>>733725241I'll tell you again for like the 5th time!Actual shills get paid while you seethe and cope due to being mentally ill from being terminally online for free.Cope.
>>733690743How many concord-likes are releasing this year? This is the 2nd one already
>>733725524What do this game and Concorde have in common other than being a multiplayer FPS?
>see obvious shill on r*ddit>click on their profile>their post history is entirely made up of commenting positive things on marathon related posts you'd think bungie would make more of an effort to cover stuff like this up after ubisoft was caught botting their own youtube comments but I guess most people dont care enough to look into this stuff
We are so returned, return-to-form-bros!
>>733694975>It at least looks like it uses strong colorsAre you fucking retarded or something? Almost every video game has looked like a fucking tranny rainbow for the past decade.
>>733725581Subhuman character designsCopy pasted gameplay from other gamesWoke garbageNothing going on for itself to stand out from the oversaturated marketI could go on, I'm sure you know all of them
>>733725405Struck a nerve, huh? You can keep trying and failing to understand board culture, and you'll keep getting called out by me and other anons for being a low quality shill. Is this where you thought you'd be in life? Accepting money or GooglePlay cards or whatever to embarrass yourself by becoming a whore for these flop games?>>733725524Three, I think:>Highguard>Marathon>the new Horizon one (that's doing a playtest the same time as Marathon, lol)>the new game by some musician or something that just got announcedBut they'll be coming out in the next few months because nobody is going to try to launch anything near GTAVI in November.
>>733725682>Subhuman character designsWrong>Copy pasted gameplay from other gamesNot really>Woke garbagewrong>Nothing going on for itself to stand out from the oversaturated marketIt has generated a lot of interest.
>>733725019It's a successor to Pathways Into Darkness. Which originally pivoted from a sequel to Minotaur. Not that you'd know what the fuck any of those are, because you're just shitposting and trolling at this point for whatever reason.All of those games were developed independently from but followed a similar iteration cycle as idsoft games did when they developed Keen->Catacomb->Wolfenstein->Doom. Pathways Into Darkness may arguably be a Wolfenstein clone if you look at it that way but Marathon was already being developed as a Pathways Into Darkness sequel before Doom was even released.Also it was the only "Doom clone" to feature full mouselook and actual weapon ammo in it's time. Not even Doom 2 bothered to do that, and they were already iterating on Doom 1.
>>733725581They both flopped day one
>>733725816I had no desire to play Concorde. I might play this.
I'm blasting all over myself! thank you for the post op
>>733705789I had never heard of Brink until the day it came out and everyone said how disappointed they wereWhat did the game promise that had peoples' hopes up so high?
>>733725741>no copy pasted contentBro, there's literal Destiny 2 Cabal animations and drop ship things in the fucking game.>it generated a lot of interestNah. It's struggling to break out of the 40s in the Steam global seller list and usually falls to around 100 and stays there between spikes.
>>733726031Oh my god you mean to tell me that Bungie who made Halo have enemies coming in by dropship sometimes?! FUCKIG OUTRAGE!
>>733725857I have no interest in either and im going to laugh and laugh and laugh just like I did with concord when this flops
>>733690743>look like robots, move like actorsOof.
>>733725682>Subhuman character designs???>Copy pasted gameplay from other gamesevery shooter is a copy of wolfestein>Woke garbagewhere's the fat blue-haired landwhale with a prosthetic leg? I wanna laugh too>Nothing going on for itself to stand out from the oversaturated marketliterally 3 other ExtracShooters out thereWhats it like getting ideologically captured by culture war retards? i swear you anti-woke dumbasses have become just as bad as libshits calling everything nazi, except everything you don't like gets called Concord
>>733726026Brink came out well before the live service craze, like back in the mid 2010s. Two things killed Brink:>Bethesda fucked over the devs with impossible deadlines (something Bethesda (the publishing company) was infamous for to let them weasel out of paying as much as they needed to>because the game got rushed out, it was buggy as shitPeople played it, had a mild amount of fun, but quickly bailed. By the time it got a few patches, the damage was done. And it also did weird balance shit for single player (which you can do, but it's just multiplayer maps with bots) where the bots cheat more and more the higher you get in player level, and it can make some missions almost impossible. ALL UNITS, CODE BLACK>>733726084No, I mean it's actually the same skeletons and animations used by a lot of the Cabal enemies, and there's some giant drop ship mining thing that's a copy paste from a Destiny 2 mission. It's obvious to the point anons who played Destiny 2 said 'this is literally just a Cabal guy with a goofy robot skin'
>>733726295Prove it.
>>733705315>>733723231as funny as this is, it is living proof the art style yanks something out of people. its all intrigue disguised as mockery, they got you making fan art in their design language nigga!!!!!! all im saying is highguard didnt have people making OC lmao
haha this sucks and we're not playing it right guys right*secretly downloads the sever slam when no one is looking*
>>733726514holy hope and cope batman
>>733723610what the fuck is a psuedo robot what are you talking about, do you mean the shells? I think those are an interesting GiTs-esque way to explain how so many disposable bodies are getting sent to investigate and fight in this place, it feels like it works very well in universe.
>>733725741The only interest it generated is the lawsuit it is going through for the stolen artstyle and textures
>>733726754Have you ever played Wipeout?
>>733719435Okay so this is either happening in the timespan between Marathon 1 and 2 before the W'rkncacnter is unleashed or this is in the timeline where he was never woken up?
>>733726360>prove itThe Destiny 2 thing is called the 'injection rig' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkxy14y4-Qc and there was something in the Chinese guy's footage that had a similar thing just in the silly marathon style and shapes with robots guarding it.>>733726446Marathon's art style has been polarizing since day 1 and nobody ever said it hasn't been. Highguard was just boring and nobody wanted it. Concord also had a ton of meme fan art, so you might want to choose better company if you're using that as a metric.>>733726685Only shills use the phrase 'server slam' because it's in their marketing script.
Is this the trooner game whose devs stole some artist's props and tried to deny it and lie about it?Not gonna lie, that's worse than saying you use AI, though equally lazy and talentless.
>>733726871>the Chinese guy's footageIsn't that from an early alpha build of the game?
>>733726930No, it was from whatever a recent playtest was because the alpha looked so fucking bad people would've spotted it out immediately.
I am gonna play, its my money anywaysIve never listened to /v/ and back then v was at least filled with more people who play games, did you know in /tv/ some anons dare to voice their opinions watching only camrips? Same thing here, these guys just jerk off and play gacha shit I have nothing in common with anyone on /v/ anymore
>>733727000I have seen that footage and he's either running the game on a potato battery or it's an early alpha because all the other footage of the game looks nothing like it.
Antireal's game looks better now but i wont touch shit that's not proven to last longer than a week
>>733727023based free-thinking anon, see you in tau ceti!
>>733727107I dont appreciate the sarcasm, if the game is shit I will drop it, I just wanna get to durandal asap, if he sounds like shit im gonna lose hype
>>733726818Does it also have the 1:1 copy pasted and stolen textures like Marthon stole? If not then no I'm not interested
>>733727101It has to be recent because the usual suspects were using it for shilling purposes. Never posting it themselves, but pointing at it to say 'yeah, that's (whatever) class,' or 'see? the art is way better now' I think Bungie shoah'd the footage because there were also parts of it that showed how clearly it's a PVP focused game, lol
>>733722110you seem to think this game is supposed to be some massive furtherance of the original marathon universe story, when in reality, its more like a spin-off story about what is going on on the planet below where the ship crashed. Its a combination of a wrap-up/epilogue but with sprinkles of mystery and intrigue about the larger universe that, as the game grows, will likely have more and more of an impact on the universe's story at large. they wanted to make an extraction shooter and the concept of suicidal robots damaging the user's consciousness on behalf of giga corps is actually, to me, a unique approach to making an cannon justification as to how it all gels with the genre. Im glad they didnt make some single player campaign thing id play twice and never again, this on the other hand seems like ill get many more hours out of it. The genre didnt call for a lone hero shaping the galaxy and im glad it didnt. Go player combat evolved for the 50000th time lmao. Lastly, many of the corporations have an undercurrent of cyber-altruism, sekeguchi and nucaloric are literally just good guys in the grand scheme of the other factions, and cyber-acme is neutral at worst. its not just capitalism bad. And the presence of the S'pht will likely not be "inconsequential"
>>733727189It's the artstyle that tranny was "inspired by" (plagiarised).
>>733690743whats the secret to making webms this long with high quality? I'm using handbrake
>>733726871>Concord also had a ton of meme fan artMaking a flash animation of the black lady sucking a popsicle feels very different from learning a project's design language and compositing a picture to EMULATE their style, purposefully. Feels more like OC at that point lol
>>733727023Same but I am probably going to try and write some rudimentary hacks for it, I'm not bothering with PvP anymore at this ageIf I can't at least get some kind of ESP working I'm not gonna bother
>>733726871>Only shills use the phrase 'server slam' because it's in their marketing script.Im literally just calling it what they call it but okay
>>733727101antireal made wipeout???
>Having a blast status?>i could play this everyday status?>next big game status?
Not a fan of not being able to play thief on the beta, also season 1 character? I wonder how they will last, sadly i get it games have BPs now but fucking sucksand also if they plan on 1 new shell per season the same thing that happened to rainbow six and apex can happen here, later ones are going to look like fucking shit.>>733727238I agree, I am kind of hyped and very into seeing if they do anything with the disembodied consciousness concept in their lore. It's rare for a game to actually bother to include mind uploads in an interesting way.
>>733724407it is quite literally the most sensible and in my opinion, most interesting genre they could have gone with. the genre provides lots of replay value and hasnt even been close to fully explored yet, as there are like only 2 halfway decent options for extraction shooters right now. im just confused as to what you people who are mad about the genre even wanted. should this have been a narrative set piece narrative driven single player campaign thing that they charge 70$ for that people would play through twice then never again? you need to move on from thinking the design of half life 2 is some safe option in 2026, its not 2004 anymore, people are experimenting with new genres, and extraction shooters are just a tense version of fps combat where there is a risk to each run. its like being mad at team deathmatch i just dont get it.
HOOOOLLLYYYYY FFRRIIIIICK WHERES THE COUNTDOWN TO BLAST OFF???
Had the game been singleplayer>woke artstylethis one remains the same lol>woke protagonistVandal is the one who gets the focus on marketing so a female robot protagonist who looks like that, yeah shitposting>WHERES SEC OFFICER? WHERES DURANDAL?whining about remakes>MUH PREY THIS COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A NEW GAME WTF>lazy cashgrab boycott>Why are they wasting the art style on some singleplayer AAA cinematic campaign
The blatant shilling is going crazy, look at the comments https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/s/ggLJImokOr
>>733727621in the short film for the game we saw runners have to do "grounding" exercises upon each rebuild, in which personal items are shown to them to jog/test their memories. there is an implication that being in a shell erodes the user's consciousness. I as well as others believe this also gives a justification for the more eccentric looking shells, their looks and fashion choices acting as a sort of anchor for their gradually fragmenting consciousness. Of course, not all shells are like this, with the types of people running using say, Destroyer for example, being probably less likely to need grounding (disciplined soldier types).
>>733690743>99% hit chancefucking X-Com
Seeing retard doomers get btfo will be great, too many midwits seething over this game.
>>733728110> Excellent cinematic, and it does a great job capturing what it feels like to play as a Rook. You're pretty harmless and vulnerable, so you end up being jumpy and fleeing from danger a lot. But when you do get a lot of loot out, it feels so great. Excited to see what people think of it.>Oh and here are the previous cinematics for the other classes, for those curious:>Destroyer>Assassin
>>733728020agreed people asking for this to be single-player are out of their fucking minds. tarkov has lasted almost a decade now they just chose to do next to nothing with their store yet people still play it. Who still plays a narrative driven sci fi fps from around the same time like fucking Killzone Shadow Fall? Nobody lmao
>>733728190this is either a dev or ai kek
>>733727784Games are trending towards being irritating timewasters and extraction shooters are among the worst of it. They're just not fun.Mentally broken people who are addicted to the rush they get from extracting aren't even having fun with the game itself, they just enjoy the dopamine from getting loot.
>>733728278look at the post history, clearly a paid shill. surprised he hasn’t hidden it
>>733728020whataboutisms aren't going to help this game succeed my man lmao
>>733728190Is this comment ironic, I can’t really tell. That website is really horrible, how are they upvoting this slop
Now I cant stress this enough, had it been singleplayer for the last year on the catalog you would have this exact thread almost DAILY>pic of remake doomguy, gordon freeman, master chiefSCI FI/SHOOTER PROTAGONIST BACK THEN>pic of vandal and it would be the exact closeup of her face where she looks like a clown lolSCI FI/SHOOTER PROTAGONIST NOWWHAT WENT WRONG>>733728114Well. I have my own take, I agree about the grounding and rampancy thing but I am not so sure its going to be that easy in lore. You would have to decouple the body from the mind in a weird way, which is why I think if you watch the short film again, the void at the end isnt the same void from the rest of the trailer. I remember thinking, did this guy get confused with the photo, but no its the vandal girl just on another body, it makes sense
>>733727023You copy pasted that statement in Concord, Dustborne, the new Saints Row game, Redfall, Highguard, Outer Worlds 2, Avowed, Bloodlines 2, and a few other threads; and they all seem to have either ended up in layoffs or shutdowns. Are you doing it intentionally.
>>733728167its crazy that we have people whining about incredibly safe design by committee shit like highguard, asking where the off the wall chance-taking aesthetics are, then we finally get something interesting looking and people cry endlessly. by now opinion seems to be reversing so im sure the game will do well, but its going to be very annoying in 3 years to see youtube essays titled "why marathon's art style was ahead of its time..." when people could just choose to not be midwits now insteadalso the same people whining about extraction shooters either havnt tried them or, currently play them and still whine about them anyway. to think the genre has been fully explored or is even close to "saturated" is so fucking funny to me
>>733690743>we want that toilet seat aesthetic
>>733728476>I remember thinking, did this guy get confused with the photo, but no its the vandal girl just on another body, it makes senseyeah i remember thinking his voice almost felt slightly different in the end, like had a slight accent compared to earlier. also maybe the cube we see activate at the end was the vandalds so that may have given that away as well
>>733727332You're describing one image (of Bazz) out of hundreds. You don't understand how much Concord meme art there was because you weren't here when it happened. And the fan art of Marathon is making fun of the style, you dipshit. It's insulting. It's like a caricature designed to make fun of someone.>>733728110>>733728190It's the exact same shilling here. It's either AI agents or leagues of swarthy third worlders paid a dollar a day by a marketing firm.>>733728512Marathon's art style is literally the only 'risky' thing in the game. Everything else is paint by the numbers basic bitch stuff that's been done before.
>>733728491I have never played nor posted on that shit, go fuck yourself with a knife. A knife, your asshole, go.
>>733728291do you even like competitive multiplayer at all?
>>733705315true sovl>>733723231forced, pathetic imitation
>>733727784Truth Nuke, and a mean this unironically.I played my first game of Hunt Showdown yesterday, solo, against duos. Took out 3 people and extracted with the bounty. Ive never in my life experience that level of dopamine before. It was almost orgasmic. I can’t even begin to imagine what a AAA big budget version of that is gonna look like, and knowing bungie as a former D2 player, boy oh boy we are in for a treat.
>>733728615
>>733728190This is an organic comment. Nothing wrong with it. You should give it a try on Thursday.
>>733728609>It's insultingif you say so lmao
>>733727784Not every game has to be played forever, shill. A complete experience that's over in some 10-30 hours is massively preferable to wading through mp slop forever.And story will suffer in this transition. We've had decades of MMOs trying different things in a desperate attempt at making multiplayer mesh with high stakes story and it has never once worked. It's always >do the quest final boss battle>do the same final boss, slightly harder, over and over to "fully defeat" the boss "keep him suppressed" or some other retarded excuse So people are understandably doubtful that anything new will be introduced, especially considering D2 is one of the worst offenders for shitty expansion based repeat "story" content that goes nowhere.It's also not a genre that the vast majority of people enjoy or even play. The fact is, most players do not enjoy gambling their time being wasted on some faggot not camping in a bush near extraction. The clearest indication of that is the most popular extraction game has half it's playerbase avoid PvP so much they're added to a separate peaceful queue.This was not the right genre to pick for popularity or for the goals you listed. It's possibly the worst. The only thing it works for is the thin justification of the non-Marathon related parts of the proposed story. So again, I ask, why even name it Marathon?
is this concord 3 or 4? do I need to play the previous games to appreciate it? but you can’t play concord 1 anymore that’s fucked
im am simply tired of being negative and id rather be hopeful for something new and have something to look forward to
>how do you do fellow anons, this is a completely organic thread and not at all a shilling campaign
>>733728110>>733728190Why are they posting and using terms as if the game is already out?
>>733728836Like i dont give a shit, if you dont have 30 bucks, i dont give a shit. ill play it cuz i wanna play it.stacies are right, if something is good looking people are just going to like it, i think the game looks great and thats all i need, it passes the eye test
>>733728836>>733728798It’s not related to Concord in any way shape or form. Give it a try on Thursday before jumping to conclusions. The feedback from all the playtesters has been so positive and we have over 300k members on Discord already.
>>733726827I believe 2 takes place like 20 years or something after 1 but it was on the Spht world. new marathon is about 100 after the events1 and concludes what happened to the wreck in 1. Im going to be completely honest I didnt play marathon infinite so i have no idea what happens with any of the alternate timelines, but i can only assume this game will be connected the least to infinite.
>>733728942>>733728986lmao get fucked corponiggers
>>733728734>So again, I ask, why even name it Marathon?the name is actually concord 3 btw
>>733728609extraction shooters are not things that have a firm established easy formula by any means so i dont know what you mean "paint by numbers basic bitch stuff". there are like 3 games to pull from at most lmao and one of them is third person. The very general concept is established but what each game chooses to do with it have been very different.
what would be the point of advertising on v anyways, i remind you that we have been bleeding users ever since the hack
>>733728934We have played the closed betas so we know how it plays. It’s pretty good. There’s over 300k members on our official discord already, so this isn’t comparable to Concord at all. There is a lot of hype building behind the game now, there’s so much art etc of it going around. The playtest is completely free. Why would you not give it a chance? It’s also made by Bungie who have always nailed aspects like gunplay and worldbuilding.
>>733690743it doespity it's an extract shooter
>>733728734Name a big budget single player narrative fps in the last 10 years you've played that left an impact on you besides titanfall 2
>>733729253>it should have been a 70$ single player set-piece driven campaign fps where you run from shooting gallery to shooting gallerynah man
>>733729232>PLEASE PLAY IT the absolute state of marathonjeets. i hope you get your rupees, shitskin
>>733729253(You)s say youve never tried one before and are talking out of your ass.
>>733729375 you're going to play it, aren't you
>>733729376>>733729253I meant to say i got 5 (you)s on it
>>733729446i don’t play woke garbage
>>733729497this game is not woke
>>733729352Jesus, these people are absolutely fucking moronic. I have never played any extraction shooter but I liked apex and I can already tell the appeal of them. Why is there this big anti movement to them anyways? It's like how everyone hated minecraft or fortnite or any other X meme genre to hate.I played titanfall 2...once. No one is replaying shit.
Anyone have a full version of this concept art?
>>733729497Really? This game has blue-haired hogs with a prosthetic leg? No shot cuh, post pic, i wanna show my friends
>>733728414>Is this comment ironic, I can’t really telli checked that posters account16 years old and active several destiny subredditsits just a bungie bannerman in fact there's a comment replying to that person asking if he's a dev (shill) if you wanted to further scrutinize the post, it has like 100 upvotes when the average post on that subreddits front page has like 1-2k so its not like a bunch of people are interacting with that particular post i feel confident saying that this specific instance of activity is natural
>>733729376>>733729486I have hundreds of hours in tarkov and about 100 in arc raiders, have played most of others that exist(ed) but they are all complete trash and not worth mentioning.
>>733729514yeah the genre has fantastic potential. Tarkov was insanely fucking fun and immersive but eventually it became overrun with cheaters, the updates seemed to rob quality of life from the game, and the stiff player controller became more and more apparent over time, also performance was shit. A bungie style player controller in an extraction shooter sounds great to me, plus im certain marathons systems wont be nearly as player-hatingly masochistic as tarkov, like forcing you to memorize 50 different types of ammo, a quarter of them being functionally useless. Also, Arc Raiders is pretty good, but its a bit too friendly for me, part of the reason im interested in Marathon. It seems a bit meaner.
>>733729679>>733729679>>733729679>>733729679>>733729679Well shit, here you go anon, dont post proof or anything.
>>733729643I'm don't play woke trash, retarded cunt.
>>733729689r/grummz tier picture lmao
>>733729689lmao, who made that
>>733729787Can you actually articulate what is "woke" about it at all?
>>733729663>3 out of last 4 posts are marathon shilling >inactive for 2 years before that
>>733729787Me neither CUH, thats why i need the pics, to convince my retarded friend no to buy the game!

>>733729748>Also, Arc Raiders is pretty good, but its a bit too friendly for me, part of the reason im interested in Marathon. It seems a bit meaner.you retarded niggers say shit like this and still can't comprehend why almost nobody likes extraction shooters
I really don't see who this game is for other than troons. You have to manually opt in to voicechat and it just feels like Destiny 2 but way slower.
>>733728731Shillbro, I know your marketing boss might think 'engagement is good, regardless,' but that's not true and has never saved anything. Look at a flop like Morbius for all the proof you'd need.>>733728986This is a new kind of super obvious, super sterile shilling. It's also mostly bullshit except for the '300k retards on the Discord' thing.>>733729157I mean that this game brings literally nothing new or worth talking about beyond its art style. If it didn't have the clownvomit color scheme, it would be as forgettable as Highguard is. Wake me up when it brings actually novel stuff like walking on walls/gravity changes, destructible terrain, and other 'lost tech' from gaming.>>733729841>androgynous characters>it being made by one of the most woke studios out there
>>733729828i don’t play woke garbage you fucking shitskin shill kys
>>733729689yeah but marathon is made by bungie's a team that left destiny 2 after its launch. itll probably be pretty good
>>733729906That's a no.>It's woke!>No I can't actually point out anything to back this up but IT JUST IS!>RAAAAR SWEARYWORDS!
>>733690976HUZZAH!!!111
>>733729689Marathon is unironically the only one with good aesthetics. I am sorry but that's the truth. You can already see it here that it's the odd one out in name and aesthetics.>Im gonna play...highguard...concord...sounds like shit, nominative determinism makes marathon a sexy name
the shilling is all ironic im pretty sure, we have another morbius on our hands potentially. sony is on a roll with these
>>733729841>inactive for 2 years before that? where do you see that
>>733729290There aren't any. That's the point. It's a genre that used to exist and now doesn't. Bungie could fill that void but instead chose to chase the live service slop wagon.
>>733729967Destiny 2 was only good in 2018 when they got Vicarious Visions to make all of their good content for Forsaken and the following seasons.
>>733729880first of all, the genre is extremely popular so i have no idea what the fuck you are talking about second of all, what is the problem? do you think every extraction shooter should be teletubby hand hold time? the good news is that there IS an option for you if you like that, its called arc raiders. you can erp and say "HELLO JOLLLY GOOD SIR CARE TO ELIMINATE SOME AUTOMOTONS WITH ME THIS FINE MORN'?" all you want. I dont want to be too ironic though because Arc is genuinely fun and handles well, its just very different from what I, and other people want.
fucking lmaoing at this obvious shill thread, do you shill marketers think you're not immediately obvious with your posting style? fucking lol
>>733690743Seeing them pump all this marathon actually looks alright with all the vague lore but its all ruined by being an extraction shooter....
>>733729887>If it didn't have the clownvomit color scheme, it would be as forgettable as Highguard isif my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike tier argument
>>733730069>OH MY GOD LOOTING BOXES I JUST CAN'T EVEN HOW COULD BUNGLE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>733726446>as funny as this is, it is living proof the art style yanks something out of people. its all intrigue disguised as mockery, they got you making fan art in their design language nigga!!!!!! all im saying is highguard didnt have people making OC lmaoIt's so aggressively ugly that people are making meme of it. Congrats. It's not mid, it's aggressively, brutalist ugly. So much it's impossibly easy to mock relentlessly.I don't know what point you're trying to make. BUt yeah, sure is it next level ugly
I am hyped to have a blast and explore the dark sci-fi world of Tau Ceti IV. I can't wait for the Server Slam, fellow runners!
>>733730004You people let singleplayer shit FLOP all the fucking time
>>733690743I don't want to play another tarkov clone.especially since people have said that endgame is tuned towards endless PVP.
There’s people itt arguing that Concord 3 (Marathon) isn’t woke. (Made by Bungie btw) Grim.
>>733721931Like Arc, solo play is going to be where the playerbase is and where the spenders buying cosmetics will be
>Playing games from the minimal viable product troon company
>>733729995>the shilling is all ironic im pretty surehere, yes. that's pretty obviousoutside here, its more... measured caution. like a wait-and-see if the game plays any good
>>733729881if trannoids are making fun crazy indie games and pushing AAA to make bizarre art styles that upset people in genres that arent even close to saturated and making breakcore, you are just starting to convince me they are cooler than you. chuddies on the other hand want every game to be hl2 and painkiller until the end of time boooriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing lmaooo
>>733721931I have friends but they all think Marathon looks gay, they won't even try it for free lol
>>733730162Will it be a return to form to the heyday of Bungie, the succesfully acclaimed creators of Halo and Marathon?
>>733729881this tranny was hating on marathon and just jumped the bandwagon I REMEMBER
>>733730264>bizarre art stylesZoomy hasn't heard of Mirror's Edge and Progressive commercials
>>733730183LMAOso suddenl;y autists on fucking 4chinz are powerful enough to make games fail, is that that you're saying?
>>733730270>me and all my friends who only play crusader kings certainly wont be trying your sweaty mean pvp game!shocker
>manually opt in voice chat >extraction shooter concord 3
>>733730183Not every single player game is worth supporting. Just as all live service slop is not worth supporting.Make a good game and maybe I will purchase it. Gamers do not owe you success.
>>733730325Mirror's Edge was mostly white, industrial spaces and shapes with an extremely targeted and deliberate use of color. Marathon is almost the exact opposite with garish colors blasted everywhere like you're having a bad acid trip, except it's all straight lines.>>7337303344chan's powers are only mentioned after a game has flopped, because blaming the devs is a social faux pas if you're a 'journalist.'
>>733730325its bizarre now because making duotone prefab racing livery activates rage in people these days. its controversial and risky in a way that gun metal grey industrial military sci-fi is not
>>733730325Not comparable. >>733730334the general public moron, id argue that 4chan's economical footprint is rather dire and getting worse with time, most posters have a decent chance to be SEA or Indian.>>733730384Stats say otherwise honestly
It's our job to preorder Marathon. These are the creators of Halo and Destiny, and those games have never been better! Preorder today. So what if they steal art and use ai art? Bungie is cooking.
>>733730384transphobic, negrophobic, and antisemitic at the same time
>>733730380im compiling all of your concord 3 posts and i will be posting a collage when the game completely blows away all expectations
>>733719435>the uesc robots that used to serve the marathon are rogueWhat? No, they are from the UESC Equanimity which arrived before the corps and their runners did. They aren't rogue, they are just defending the ruins of New Cascadia so the UESC can investigate the demise of the colony.
>>733730483You can just say 'based'
>>733730371We mostly play PVP shooters, I'm not autistic enough for grand strategy.
>>733730449https://youtu.be/l5JXX0KZioIHere's the game but not being run at minimum settings on a Chinese toaster. It doesn't look bad.
>>733729573yeah here you go
>>733730208Isn't solo in Marathon only restricted to the Rook class?
>Class-based extraction shooterWelcome back, Concord
um… cuh? HELLO? WHERE ARE THE PICS YO? MY FRIENDS ARE ALL ABOUT TO PRE-ORDER CUHYou bros told me Marathon was WOKE, so where are the blue-haired fat chicks? They are starting to think im some kind of schizo yo!

>>733730507woops I thought they were associated with the marathon itself, makes sense because i was partly asking myself why they werent present in the original so ya makes sense they are from a rescue ship
>>733730567>It doesn't look bad.It looks ugly. An horrendous puke inducing design style, executed pretty well. It doesn't look bad the same way that JM's guro/quad amputee/loli quadruple amputation "has good shading".It's technically true. The issue is not the technical competence - the issue is the subject of that competence.
>>733730682>Here's a picture not from the game
>>733700904They tried to take over halo general but got kicked out.
Is /vm/ any good when it comes to videogame discussion?Or is it a cesspool like most of /vg/?
>>733730682That doesn’t look like marathon cuh
>>733730506We have over 300k people in our discord alone btw. This Concord narrative is really forced. I think a lot of people will change their opinions on Thursday.
>>733730567looks good
>>733729689Why isn't Arc Raiders on there?
>>733730610>made by Bungie >not woke can you post your hand, i think you are brown
Reminder the anti bungie schizo from the halo general is shitposting marathon threads and more pathetically reporting on each and every single one
>>733730823Because Arc Raiders is one of the most successful and widely-played games of all time.
>>733690743The character I want to play looks like this.Fucking why.
>>733730769buy an ad and fuck off nigger marketer
>>733730860Wow, you were so close to getting my point.
>>733729758I'm not reinstalling it but here's proof of my first wipe after I reset my progress my k/d and survival rate never improvedI still think extract shooters are gay, people nolife this shit more than anything I've experienced
Oh no!Marathon keeps going up on the Steam best sellers.
>>733730567it looks best in the official clips with no UI and everything cranked to max, the UI blows gay assholes
>bungie trying literally every tactic in the shill booklol they're panicking hard
>>733730449>Stats say otherwiseThey don't. The people playing live service slop are mostly concentrated in a handful of hyper popular games like fortnite. They do not appear to have any inclination of moving to new games for any length of time, let alone long though for studios to recoup the cost of developing live service slop.Unless your game is going to siphon off players from fucking fortnite or warzone, you have a tiny niche of players you MIGHT siphon off your 2 (TWO) other competitors. The very fact that those two other extraction shooters are not wildly successful like fortnite should be the first alarm bell to indicate that maybe this genre is not the one to bank your whole studio on.
>>733730742>try to take over the general of a failed and dead ex-Bungie property>get kicked out because not even the masochistic Halo fans want youNow that's fucking embarrassing>>733730769>muh 300k in the discordI don't know why you shills think this number means anything. If it did, nuMarathon wouldn't be struggling with engagement.>opinions change on Thursday!!Yes, this is when you and the other marketers become obsolete because you can't control what people see about the game anymore. It's going to be brutal when normalfags find out how much of a sweaty PVP game this is>>733730939It's being beaten by It Takes Two, m8. Sit down
>>733730884she's a cutie under that helmet though
>>733730824Nah my nigga i believe you, i KNOW this game is woke too, i just need proof of these woke characters. One of my gay ass friends already pre ordered. The rest dont believe me.
this ironic shilling on /v/ is pretty funny but on YT and plebbit its actually unironic
>>733730769yes im sure all those people in your free trannycord are genuine not botted or paid people like bungie is doing all across the internet right now in desperation and all of those trooncord users will equate to 300k sales and players
>>733730935well you have 156 hours so clearly something about the genre compelled you in some way lol
>>733730723When it's not being run on minimum settings on a shitbox the game isn't ugly.
>>733690743ok this is actually...epic?!

I love how all these threads for the past month have just been anons ironically pretending to be shills in the most obvious fashion, and then the ESL shitskins and resident schizos than infest this site take the bait. Every. Single. Time.
>>733731240You better remove that 'From the creators of Apex Legends and Titanfall' shit, chud. It was so fucking funny when that disappeared from the Highguard page on Steam>>733731319>Outer Worlds sold wellNo? That's why the sequel was a huge bomb and the franchise is dead, you moron.
>>733731262>>733731291Wrong order retards.>>733730607Maybe.
>>733730607fairly certain you can do a solo run with any class now
>>733731319>outerworlds sold wellNo it didn't, they just confirmed they're done trying to force it after 2 flopped like 1 did.>lawbreakers would have sold well if it launched f2pLawbreakers was bad>and you are leaving out from the creators of diablo 1 and 2 (diablo 3)Blizzard North did not make Diablo 3, they fired everyone that worked on D1 and D2. >and every other time this ends in a successful gamelol
>>733731360first one sold well you fucking moron and that was brought to you by the devs that made fallout new vegas, its how they were able to make a second one RETARD
Can anyone help me have a blast?I would like to have a blast but I don't know how.
>>733731281
gimme drawing requests for this playstation rabbit
>>733731475draw it giving birth
>>733731471They need Dave Candland now more than ever, that UI is so fucking bad.
>>733731431>sold wellIt wasn't a bomb, but it wasn't a success either. It probably made back its development costs, but only barely. >from the makers of FNVThose people haven't been at Obsidian for fucking years, same with the Halo devs being at Bungie
>>733731391how the actual fuck did they make a sequel if the first one flopped are you insane >Blizzard North did not make Diablo 3, they fired everyone that worked on D1 and D2.So marvel heroes was the guys who worked on d1 and d2 then? also people still bought 3 based on the names d1 and d2, even if it was mainly blizzard north who developed 3. also lawbreakers was a decent fps
>>733731324I don't think you understand what low texture resolution even is.
>>733731431It didn't sell wellIt had okay numbers on goypass These are not the same thing.
>>733731543Where did the textures go? Is that on a 3GB GPU? There's no detail in anything and it's blurry.
>>733731514what is an example of a good UI
>>733731514What's wrong with it?
I know we hate hero shooters and preset characters and all that, but I'm still curious what the backstories and personalities of the different shells were going to be. I remember that destroyer was ex-UESC and glitch was a MIDA rebel.>>733730884idgi, she and destroyer are the cool looking ones. You'd have a point if you were talking about the others, I for one am not touching the medic until he gets a helmet skin
>>733731024Damn, wtf, i really really hope she gets a skin like this later, what a fucking waste
>>733731592Arc Raiders
>>733731585Can you not see them? Or do you think that a clean look means lol no textures?
>>733727784>stop making story-driven singleplayer games because they're old, make endlessly replayable and forgettable multiplayer-only slop instead because it's 2026I'm so glad we're evolving out of singleplayer games and drop-in-drop-out multiplayer games and embracing "play for 50 minutes and maybe die and completely throw those 50 minutes away without gaining anything or extract to maybe gain a slightly better chance to not die on the next 50 minute raid" because it is 2026 after all and everyone is a completely fucking brainrotted dopamine fiendI wish you'd try out heroin and get cripplingly addicted to it
>>733731652There's a way to do clean and not have it look like Roblox. I expect more out of a $40+Rewards Pass tip game.
>>733731690>RobloxThis looks like Marathon to you?
>>733731628this has the exact same level of quality and clarity that marathon has in its UI so i have no idea what you are talking about
>>733731613>Namedropping random bits of ogMarathon lore>See guys! This naked live service attempt at selling you Destiny's shitty PvP modes is totally related to that old game! Lmao
>>733731593Ugly and cluttered, you can barely see the game with all that extra bullshit on the screen. And if he any active challenges, it would be even worse.
>>733731689do you enjoy competitive multiplayer games at all? if so, you are risking rank every match. if you dont like competition at all and it makes you le anxious, just excuse yourself from the conversation and go play animal crossing or something lol
>>733731767Nah that takes up maybe 5% of the screen whereas Marathon is at about 35% and it has these obnoxious LOOK ME and LOOK AT THIS COOL DOWN buttons everywhere. Just terrible.
>>733731458get that wallet out you fuckin pig
>>733731763Yes, but the Roblox textures are much more impressive.
>>733729232>MUH BUNGIE GUNPLAYEvery single fucking time. It feels like this is talking point since the Marathon reveal abd I don't get it at all.
Blast status?
>>733731786>clutteredwe have-life-weapon-abilities-compass-timewhat information is unnecessary or cluttered here?
>>733731786Doesn't really seem any worse than what Halo had. Maybe 1 more element for keeping track of your team mates.
>>733731583looks fucking sickcan't wait to get my shit pushed in by a 50 year old dad and his kid playing split screen in their living room
>>733731832so its just a scale thing? seems like not a big deal and may even be customizable in settings
>>733731891I think you need to go and visit an optician.
>>733731956>so its just a scale thing?No it's the design and placement of everything>seems like not a big deal and may even be customizable in settingsIt's not
>>733731903buy a fucking ad and fuck off, corpo shill
>>733731776Mindbroken kek
>>733731892It's a favourite of Bungo fanboys since even as far back as Destiny "Gunplay" is a meaningless word they refuse to even try to define.
>>733732039not an argument
>>733731776>is ordered to use brand names and marketing words to shill the game>but using this marketing speak immediately outs them as shills and anons start shitting on themI love it.>>733732064Doesn't need one when talking to a shill. You heard him, fuck off.
>Why does this game look so gayOh
>>733731892>>733732059its literally just something console players keep repeating
>>733732064that's not a fucking argument corpo niggerfaggot cause we're not arguing. you're a niggerfaggot corpo shill and you need to fuck off and die
>>733731620that will be 15€+tip
>>733731263its probably not maxed out plus youtube compression plus whatever >>733731915the UI actively detracts from the visuals
>>733732432The outside environments look so ugly.
>>733732114>produceroh no, their development-schedule and task tracking is... woke!!!!
>yfw Sony has so little faith in this they're also running a playtest for the Horizon live service slop game the same weekend>https://www.gamesradar.com/games/horizon/horizon-hunters-gathering-playtest-sign-up/
>>733732529I really like the contrast between the outdoors and man-made areas
>>733732529>outside environments theyre a mixed bag imo. i like the ones with more natural elements creeping in
>>733731172It's a shame 4chan doesn't let you use native images though because file sizes too large.
>>733732645that's the final pve raid zone coming out mid-end of season 1
>>733732341I fair exchange, if it means getting that qt pie skin.
>>733732707Yeah the video itself goes up to 4K but I could only get 1080p and stay under the file size limit.
>>733731613>I don't get how her retarded ass helmet is retardedI understand with 100% certainty that you're a shill but I just have to point out the absolute fucking stupidity of it. is it supposed to be retro futuristic? It's a giant fucking helmet that opens up into 5 sensors. Why does it need sensors on her arms also?If it's retro futuristic, why does she also have a cybernetic eyeball capable of projecting images? If they have the technology to make the eyeball, the technology to make the helmet is obsolete and pointless. Everything about this character looks fucking stupid but I really want to be laser focused on how retarded the helmet is.
>>733724915>it sure as hell isn't a poor one, even as games they're better than Doomthere is room for arguing about the overall combat experience, but marathon maps are absolute bottom of the barrel trash. fucking zero tolerance left me with more fond map memories than marathons.
>>733732928>Zero ToleranceBased. It's all fun and games until you get to the skyscraper's basement, then it becomes a fucking nightmare horror game.
>>733732602Horizon won
>>733733048We could very well have a future where Marathon flops and dies, then both Fairgame$ and Horizon (whatever) comes out.Sony is sure determined to make sure the chuds eat good in 2026.
>>733690743Chud bros...we losted. Blast havers wonned...
I'm hyped and having a blast gooning
>>733733010dont forget the fucking save system either, that was just cruel and unusual punishment. but god damn did the game have atmosphere coming out the ass back in the day, and it gradually turning into alien was also neat as fuck.
>>733690743I agree, I really dig the artstyle. But everything else they shown sadly looks like shit.
>>733733253>600 view tweetstop shilling your twitter here faglord
Hi I'm mentally ill and the only social interaction I get is bashing upcoming games
>>733732789>is it supposed to be retro futuristic? It's a giant fucking helmet that opens up into 5 sensors. Why does it need sensors on her arms also?Why not?>If it's retro futuristic, why does she also have a cybernetic eyeball capable of projecting images?Why not?>If they have the technology to make the eyeball, the technology to make the helmet is obsolete and pointless."If a fighter jet has a radar then why the fuck does it need IRST, passive snoopers, an electronic warfare suite and countermeasures? THIS IS BULLSHIT!"
>>733733253That's fucking desperate. Does Sony actually pay cosplay thots to market their shit?>>733733264Fuck the save system, what about the NES TMNT-style 'here's your squad, and one when dies, they're fucking DEAD' system?>>733733373i'd rather hang out with that guy than someone who looked at marathon and said 'this is a good game' desu
>>733733410>Does Sony actually pay cosplay thots to market their shit?just like every other fucking corpo, you think thots post shit on social media for free?

>>733730884
>>733733410>Fuck the save system, what about the NES TMNT-style 'here's your squad, and one when dies, they're fucking DEAD' system?as far as i remember it didnt matter much, one character had greater gun dps and the rest had irrelevant upgrades, so they were really just spare lives.
godforbid women like a design and wanna do cosplay youre getting paid by bungiedo moids really
>>733733945Let's be real here. They are getting paid to do that.
Concord cosplays were naturalMarathon cosplays are forced
>>733734070Was there ever an explanation for why Bazzposting caught on so much in South Korea?
When you're only remaining argument after months of spamming is just "SHILLS SHILLS ITS ALL SHILLS" as the game goes higher and higher up the steam charts, I don't think that's a good sign...
>>733730884she feels very cool to play in game and has good skins
>>733734124Baz was an accidental comedy gem trapped inside a horrible game.
>>733733253
I just hate /v/ even more, nothing interesting be it this game or any other, just this endless spam. More braindead than any other year
>>733696621I dont remember ww2 games in the 2000s being this brutal
>>733734197Bungie would hire him, they use AI art now. See>>733730454
>>733733253look at this fucking morons pfp, legit sub 10 iq marvel monkey retards, these freaks are made in a fucking factory, if u agree with a retard like that than you should reconsider your life
>>733734214welcome to modern internet
>>733734197lmao you cannot make this shit up, at the same time he has a fucking cap america AI pfp, guarantee this monkey would not be able to keep up with the pvp anyway
>>733734283>A bunch of pretty girls all decided at the same time to cosplay this videogame right before releaseThey are getting paid. Pretty girl make boy go UNGA BUNGA and buy game. I don't hate that they are doing it but it still is what it is. It's like booth babes at E3 back in the day.
>>733733405>why shouldn't it be retarded?>why shouldn't it be retarded?>analogy that pretends to not understand what's being saidbungie isn't sending their best. The helmet and the eye are from vastly different technological states. It would somehow make more sense if she was powered by a steam engine cause at least then they'd be admitting that it's retarded. They want me to take it seriously though.
>fuming this bad after being found outOYVEY
>>733734197>these are the "tastemakers" telling you what games should look like
>The shills are pissed that the cosplays are paid for
RED ALERTBACK TO THE MARATHON DISCORD SISTERSWE'VE BEEN MADETHIS IS NOT A DRILL
>>733734416A fighter jet has a radar, infrared search and track, passive sensors that listen for other radars, laser targeting pods, electro-optical sensors, electronic warfare and countermeasures all at the same time. You are basically saying "look she has a laser targeting pod why the fuck does she also have a radar?!"
>>733734408>It's like booth babes at E3 back in the day.it's even funnier when you consider that corpos LOVE pretending that they're so progressive by banning booth babes and being vocal about them being lebad, and won't waste a second to pay some thotss to be, in essence, virtual booth babesevery single word from a corpo's mouth is a sham, simple as
>>733734408>>733734585u gotta be as dumb as that twitter account, as a man, have you seriously ever looked at a fucking cosplayer and decided to play the game? no, you just jerk off (maybe) or think (shes cute) and close the page. no straight man is on tiktok looking up cosplays for games they are interested in?? you think bungie is investing marketing dollars for some low tier cosplayers on tik tok? why would they just not invest that money into the big and actually hot cosplayers, like emiru for example? they have already sponsored youtubers with 25mil subs, and you think they skimp on the tik tok cosplayers?? not everything is a conspiracy
>>733734214You are simping for one of the ugliest game ever made, in one of the most saturated market ever made, with some of the most "uh ok" gameplay ever made, using brand recognition for a name that has nothing to with the original franchise.people will just get a lilbit rejecting from your pajeet marketing
>>733734585If anything this shows that the game isn't woke when they are fine with using pretty women to advertise it. No fat ugly ogres here.
>>733734408>cosplay this videogame right before releaseAll of them are from mid 2025 you fucking gullible moron
>>733734548No. I'm not saying that even a little bit. >continuing to pretend to not understandA "fighter jet" in a modern nation united states only has technologies that are all from the same time period. A jet made in say 2024 has all it's technologies as up to date as they can be. They don't randomly use out-dated technology for funsies.If you're not pretending to be retarded and are genuinely a bungie team member who doesn't understand why this shit looks stupid as fuck, please hire more white men.
>>733732789the answer to all these questions is because it looks cool, and you're forcing yourself to find shit to nitpick that you wouldn't notice or care about if we were talking about any other game, in order to fit in with the /v/eddit zeitgeist. Lo and behold autistic retards are not immune to propaganda after all
>>733734686>no those are totally not paid cosplayers, are you dumb?>you think sex sells? lmao>engage in my retarded hypoteticalsnigger :)
>>733734794>They just found a bunch of game accurate accessories to wear in the wardrobe!No they didn't.
>>733734852>because it looks coolIt doens't though. It looks fucking retarded. Rule of cool applies when the end product looks cool.
I can't wait for this extraction shooter fotm shit to pass so we can get some actual games
>>733690743Looking forward to this game
>>733734794Oh weird, I wonder what happened in mid 2025. It's almost like that's when the Marathon marketing cycle started before they got raped for having that shit alpha, aha but I would NEVER notice that. I'm hyped to have a blast.
>>733734905hmmm yeah it does actually sorry
I'm really digging what I'm seeing. I've been jamming to the OST on Spotify all day. I'm hyped to have a blast on the Server Slam, folks.
>>733734719I dont even wanna gorespam this site is done for
>>733734861sex sells yes, but why are they not just hiring the actually hot super famous cosplayers if that is their plan? so they sponsor some tik tok mid girls with 500 followers instead? nice logic mate, go ahead and continue to schizo spiral for the next month as the game succeeds>>733734794kek, and none of them are even HOT, this fucker thinks bungies grand plan is to sponsor some very mid girls with zero followers???
>>733734838Your entire argument is based on one sensor rendering all the other sensors obsolete and pointless when in fact in real life things like that are all part of a complete sensor package with various different abilities rather than simply "she/that jet fighter/that warship has a laser".
>>733735015this but with zero irony
>>733734942Looks like the cosplay thots were part of that original marketing push that got aborted when the art scandal happened. Sounds like a free pay day for them.
>>733728291I know someone that played way too much tarkov and straight from his mouth he said "i dont play tarkov for the hardcore mode, i play it for the loot"
>>733735134I think you might be gay.
>>733735134>kek, and none of them are even HOT, this fucker thinks bungies grand plan is to sponsor some very mid girls with zero followers???They're obviously hurting for money. Each earnings call has Bungie as the worst performing company in their portfolio and they have to keep scaling back their expectations.
>>733735229no i just dont want to fuck anything that moves actually>>733735259you people are so fucked up
>>733734870I know it must seem like a herculean feat cause you've never created anything in your entire life, other than excrement.>>733734942>decided at the same time to cosplay this videogame right before releaseEven with the original release date, that was 5 months away, so the claim is still wrong and retarded.
>learn about marathon in like 2012 or something because i was interested in fps history>mfw they're making this game based on an old apple doomlike that probably 99% of people have never playedWhy? It's so weird.
>>733735334>Even with the original release date, that was 5 months away, so the claim is still wrong and retarded.The marketing push started in March 2025, dumbass.
>>733735151>continuing to pretend not to understandShe has parts from 1990 and parts from 2150.The parts from 1990 would be outdated and pointless on a robot made in 2150. Not to mention why does a robot need a fucking helmet to begin with. You'd think they'd just make it part of the robot as that would be more cost effective and reliable. Not to mention why wouldn't she just have the helmet open up full time and not just when she ults.Not to mention why is the robot a she if it's a fucking robot.Not to mention her thighs are made out of fuckmeat when the rest of her body is made out of metal. Not to mention that she's wearing shoes for some fucking reason. The characters from this game are straight up concord tier. The gameplay isn't, but the characters absolutely are.
>>733735334None of their shit is arts and craft "I made this out of sugar paper and glue" things. Those are high quality items that somebody has actually dropped some money on.
>>733735403Bungie is creatively bankrupt
Haters lost!
>>733735420The basic concept of there being different elements to her sensor suite does nothing to preclude "futuristic".
>>733735134>sex sells yes, but why are they not just hiring the actually hot super famous cosplayers if that is their plan? so they sponsor some tik tok mid girls with 500 followers instead? nice logic mate, go ahead and continue to schizo spiral for the next month as the game succeedsHave you considered that the cosplay whores with 500 followers maybe choose the ugly video game Bungie is shilling for millions because it didn't get any traction and they'd be first, and they're still only 500 followers because they can't recognize what exactly to cosplay for?Basically, them just being low IQ followers of corpos trying to gain a wedge by cosplaying anything, and hoping the new Bungie game will gain success?Protips: that's how cosplay whores think when they have very low audience. Big cosplay whores make popular trends. Small cosplay whores follow popular trends, but as the market is oversaturated, hope to make a new trend by being first with the new corpo. For fuck sake, it's like you have any idea how female whore brains work.
Rape won
>>733735403It's not based on it, really. It has nothing to do with the story or world of Marathon. Or the original design. They just recycled the name because "Marathon" was well liked by old school FPS boomers, so why not.None of the lore of Marathon, universe, characters, etc... are notable in this game.
>>733735418The reveal was April 2025. Release was September 2025. What is the angle here?>>733735474Keep posting please. Explain to the class how cosplay works and how a modern costume is made.
>>733735609he wanted to laugh lmao
>>733735579>inceltheory babel from an unemployed neet who thinks they understand corporate marketing
>>733735756>I saw this game and I liked it do I stuck some tinfoil to a carboard box and covered it in glitter to sort of look like itvs>Literally Bungie gave me a high quality accurate replica of one of their ingame guns in an unreleased game to pose with as well as a bunch of other stuff to wear so I look exactly like this character in their game they are paying me to cosplay as
>>733735756>what's the angle?Do you seriously not understand the concept of a marketing campaign?
>>733735768>>inceltheory babel from an unemployed neet who thinks they understand corporate marketingThere's no corporate marketing, moron. I tell you how human being, and female whores, will themselves try to hitch themselves to what they hope will gain success early. Or try to, seeing you've absolutely understood none of the point, you were too stupidlow IQ retard with very low IQ reading comprehension
>>733735923its just retarded and not worth the mental energy but enjoy your theory i really could not give a fuck
>733735579Absolutely derangedMind Status: Raped. Obliterated. Shattered. Broken.
>Marketing doesn't exist, chudI hope these are ironic shills and not the paid ones.
>>733734157This game has to sell roughly 4 to 5 million copies to even break even if its reported budget of 150 to 200 million dollars is accurate (before marketing)Do any of you legitimately think it's going to sell that much?Keep in mind mewgenics which is been in the top 3 for the past few weeks has just hit 1 million copies sold
>>733736163>it needs to sell 4-5mActually, it's probably closer to 9-10m when you take out shit like Steam's cut, taxes, and everything else. >Mewgenics just hit 1m sold after being in the top 3 sellers for a few weeksInteresting observation. Marathon barely broke out of the 40s this morning, and before that it's been mostly in the 100 spot for weeks. Things are probably not looking good
Even Pete Parsons knew Marathon was fucked. He had to do just another year as CEO to max out his retention bonus but decided to leave anyway.
>>733735909Thanks for confirming that you know nothing about what you're talking about
>>733736535I'm not wrong though. They are getting both paid and supplied by Bungie. Especially the one with the white "CTRL" t-shirt. She was literally given that costume to wear.
why does this game make arc trannies so madi thought they already won the extraction shooter war
>>733731832Meds. Plus you can Tab away the objectives on the top right.
>>733736626Whatever helps you sleep at night manIf you had any proof of this you would've posted it by now
>>733737023In fact if you look there are two completely different girls wearing that exact getup.
>>733736865if you think this game is going to get anywhere near arc numbers you need to be locked up and examined
>>733717527Your discord buddies aren't "everyone", tourist.
>>733737065It couldn't possibly be that they shared the designs and patterns with others.No way.
>>733737408It is literally the same costume. Literally the same t-shirt, facemask, headphones like they all went into exactly the same shop and bough exactly the same items (that don't actually exist in a shop because they are from an unreleased game). There's 3 girls doing it in your picture in fact.
>>733737576>i dont understand how they could've made this so it must be bought and paid forYou are a spiritual african.You would fit in with a tribe of pygmies or other random shitskins asking for gibsmedats.You sit on the sidelines seeing other more talented people doing something that you can't and are convinced that they are cheating to get there. You look at pyramids from those who can before and with a resigned sigh you say that it was the corporate shill aliens who came before that did it, instead of real people.You are a retard nigger.
>>733738161Using pretty ladies to sell your product is not a new practice.
>>733691101I'd assumed it was one of those shitty AI videos going around.
