Single player...

Shit

They're sort of between a rock and a hard place. They don't have time to rework it into something that isn't an extraction shooter. They don't have many options when it comes to those, because chasing the hardcore audience is going to kill them, when no one wants to try and compete with them, and chasing a casual audience is going to turn away the people who would love the game the longest and sell it for you.

Given more time, I think what I would do is create something more like a Destiny Raid, but have squads occasionally run into each other, like a Dark Souls invasion, but always technically neutral. Players could just shoot each other at the risk of losing the shootout or losing too many resources to finish the raid. Or help each other at the cost of splitting loot at the end further.
But I don't think they have time for that.

I mean if your taste is mentally ill rave girls, sure dude, you do you.
Most of us don't like wondering if our date is going to OD or not before morning.

>>712936771
It already is.

>>712936840
I meant that any female lead will cause the game to flop, not your specific one.

>>712936093 (OP)

When's the last time you went to a rave, grandpa? it's all normal, plain jane looking whores with ponytails wearing pink g strings now and some glitter on their cheeks.

>>712936093 (OP)
What if it had ANYTHING to do with the original Marathon at all? Thanks to Mandalore there are thousands of "people" that larp about being huge fans so it would have been able to hoodwink suckers for the first two or three weeks, at least. Also maybe less stolen assets.

>>712936093 (OP)

>>712936193

>>712936093 (OP)

>>712936093 (OP)
turn it into team deathmatch with vanquish mechanics

>>712937696
delete the game from your brain then and stop talking about it

>>712936093 (OP)
here are the key problems:
>Extraction shooters are hyper saturated in 2025 which means the normal draw for one probably won't be easy money as it used to be.
I guess focus more on the pve so its a raiding mmo-ish shooter but streamline fucking each other up? That iteration of bungie already has a successful one under their belt so its their hot genre.

>Nu-Marathon has a game assets feel to it instead of anything notable.
Just rip off System Shock's atmosphere/feel.
For some reason both marathon and system shock had similar design thoughts on the drawing board.
Marathon released in december 1994, and system shock 1 released in september 1994 right before it.
You can get the blueprint to the feel from juxtaposing both series against each other, or even system shock 1 against system shock 2.
Use some Deus Ex and Cyberpunk for inspiration for good measure.
If you go through this path, make sure not to hold back.

I could have sworn that sony just said that everything was fine with marathon

>"passionate fan feedback"
That's a really funny way to phrase that.

>>712936093 (OP)
turn the game into Botw, add Wahoo sounds and make it an 3+ game

>>712936840
God I hate zoomers

>Englishman
Dricus Du Plessis is not an Anglo name, he's French and Dutch descendant.

>>712946080
Huh I didn't know methed out druggies escaped to South Africa. I thought they stayed in the US or at most Europe.

Hm, maybe they should try taking inspiration from Marathon.

>>712936093 (OP)
Officially cancel it and kill everyone involved

>>712936840

This
There is no salvation for anyone involved in this dumpster fire of a game

Making Marathon an incredible SP series and going back to their roots would have saved not only the company but Sony as well
Instead lol lmao rofl

>>712936368
didn't work for the horizon series
unless you count pack-in sales as a success metric

>>712936093 (OP)
Remake 2 but with 2010s texture quality and polygon counts.

>>712946519
The only correct answer
