holy shit, the Marathon situation is really fucking funny
> release ARG
moderate amounts of hype, people think it seems cool
> release cinematic trailer
a bit more hype, trailer is sick
> release tester footage
some hype, some criticism
> release closed alpha
more criticism than excitement
> ARC Raiders closed alpha releases
attention shifts to ARC Raiders, the game is way more fun
people start more heavily criticizing Marathon
at least Marathon still has a very cool art style
> it turns out that some of Marathon's art and much of its style was stolen from antireal.info
game is basically DoA at this point
Bungie is cooked
i didn’t even know they were making a new one, i thought you were talking about the original mac games
yeah, the new one is basically nothing like the original Marathon games from the 90s, its an extraction shooter
T_T
at least alephone has lots of mods though
alephone?
is that the name of one of the original games?
