They're making a new Marathon, but it's a Escape from Tarkov style PvP only game
Just bash my brains out right now, I don't need this

Also, did they not learn that this never works?
Remember when Microsoft did that PvP Shadowrun game?
Or when they did that weird PvP spin-off of Legacy of Kain?
Damn, I remember being hyped for that Shadowrun game too lol. Weirdly I remember the beta being better than the full game because it was more balanced. EDIT: At least we got Dragonfall eventually.
I played the demo for a long time. Rented the full game less than a year after release and it was dead at.
It was fun though, but much like blink (I think that’s what it was called) these types of shooter never seem to do well unless it’s TF2. Even quake wars was dead on console.
I assume you were thinking of Brink, the parkour shooter that was basically dead at launch, but the fun thing is that there could be another game called Blink with the same story. Console seems to only really have an audience for a couple big franchises (Gears of War/Halo/CoD/Battlefield), which I assume is due largely to the demographics of the playerbase - teens can only buy a few games. I want to say Shadowrun also allowed crossplay with PC players which was proooobably not a good idea.
That’s the one, the weight class based parkour was a really cool idea.
Yeah, I remember playing a single online match. A pc player joined on the other team within minutes I was the only non-bot on my team from everyone quitting.
Beating up bots offline was fun though.
god, i got burned on brink hard. I swear two friends and I were the only players in australia in the first week, i've never seen such a cool concept just eat shit within release day
RIP. I rented it the weekend after release and it was already pretty dead in the US. The worst thing about it is that the failure of Brink and games like it are why everything's now a GaaS with thirty currencies and microtransactions out the ass. That shit keeps people invested.
I just brought that up before scrolling down. :yea:
With the popularity of Tarkov and CoD DMZ it seems likely that extraction shooters are going to be the next big thing for game companies looking to distinguish themselves in the vast sea of battle royale games.
