Bungie would not have allowed the acquisition to take place at all if they could only release their games on one platform. It was a major stipulation that Sony agreed to. Makes Sony look like the weaker partner in the deal.

I knew Sony moving towards gaas/pvpve/services would be terrible for gamers who love Sonys single player games and today confirms that.
Imagine having Bungie and this is what they allow them to make ..
Then again Bungie has been on this trajectory for many years so it shouldn't be a surprise.
It's just a shame what's happened to the once beloved creators of Halo

Well… the feel of their games coming only second to Respawn’s doesn’t hurt.

I can read, you twit. They are just as shit as the rest of them. They are not somehow the last remaining of the 2000s devs that haven't gone down the drain.
If you are going to critique someone's English, at least make sure you can read.
Great controls does not a great game make. If it fails in level design, pacing, story, encounter design, and respecting the player's time - its not a good game. Which is what Destiny 1 and 2 all fail at.

Same. Beyond hyped to see Marathon return and it genuinely looked interesting. Then PVP only. Fuck that noise.

I have a lot going on at the moment so correct me if I'm wrong...Bungie, creators of Marathon, made a game named Marathon, that isn't finally a continuation of Marathon or giving them a shooter like Halo or COD? Did...Did I get this right?

It’s nothing like Halo, it’s an extraction pvp gsme. More like a Battle Royale than anything Halo.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Right here. You can also look up my posts saying whatever project they were working on before the acquisition will likely be multi-plat.

This is GAAS, and thus, of no ultimate interest to me unless my friends pick it up, but I thought the artstyle looked sick.
The official merch looks great too (item descriptions have some lore too if you're interested in that), but it's overpriced as fuck:

Bro this is an honest question that has nothing to do with videogames.
Is there a single tech company in existence that doesn't act like an absolute piece of shit?

that was part of the deal from the beginning, Bungie literally cleared this up the day they got bought.
Sony fangirls of course denied that this is what they are saying, basically trying to interpret stuff into the announcement to fit that narrative
Bungie runs their own ship, at least for now.

The Halo killer...was 343i.

Honestly, as someone who fell off of Destiny hard due to its complete abandonment of PVP, this sounds very exciting to me.

Fuck out of here.
Bungie “missing” is inconsequential compared to say oh I don’t know red fall , blizzard handling of overwatch 2, most games PC ports, and so on and so forth .
Destiny 2 has been in incredible shape for years. Destiny 1 was a banger. All of their halo games are aces.
Whatever shade you want to throw as a “miss” is a joke .

Destiny 1 was a banger? What in the name of rose tinted glasses are you talking about?
It was an absolute MESS until the Taken King expansion. It's launch was abysmal. It's first few "expansions" weren't even expansions and repeatedly reused assets and had entire levels that were just existing levels that you did in reverse.
Destiny 2 saw the rise of Eververse where all the armor sets and sparrows on the store were way better than anything you got in the game normally. It also saw the switch to the battle pass model which turned the game into more of a time investment instead of a fun hobby with friends. That's also not getting into the "seasonal activities" you get where it's just a single activity that you are expected to do over and over again for a month or more.

Halo killed itself a very long time ago. All we have now, is its ghost.

I mean, I'll probably eat my words for backing System Shock 84 years ago, but I would have been totally on board with a modern version of Marathon at a budget price.

As long as it's not like Destiny and more a traditional shooter, I'm very interested.

Same. But instead they gave us generic PVP shooter.
Its literally a PVP only shooter with no singleplayer/story elements.

It's an extraction shooter, which is shaping up to replace battle royales as the new genre everyone seems to try to get into.
