I'm way late to the party, but just found out about Marathon, by Bungie.

Marathon, by Bungie

I don't really play FPS games, but the trailer looks awesome!

What do you guys think?


Also, do you reckon it'll be F2P? I saw a video on YT that suggested that.

Much love,
gon

Someone else said it better on the Fairgame$ trailer but this also has "Thanks to all our players but we're unfortunately ending support" 1 year later vibes to it.

Bungie is the sort of the company that won't actually kill a project 1 year into it despite its flaws, it has money to keep it afloat, but it just feels like a generic extractions shooter as a live service in the sea of extraction shooters as a live service. If any other studio put out this trailer and I would immediately assume it's just going to be cancelled before launch.

Huh, well that's disheartening... Is there any extraction shooter you recommend?

I mean, if there's so many, I'd think they have something that distinguishes them besides just aesthetics, right? I hope Marathon can bring some fresh air to the genre. IDK

Hunt Showdown and Marauders are both pretty good. I feel like right now Anthony they can bring to the saturated market won't matter much. Even though those two are great games, I don't play them because extraction shooters are more on their way out. I don't get the spark of joy in them that I did.
