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

I am sorry about Marathon. I’ve heard the lore was good and the gameplay ahead of its time. Hopefully this renews interest in a traditional follow up?
But that being said…
As a recovering Tarkov addict, a competent clone sounds like a godsend. I don’t care which IP they trample. They could make a Dune x Book of the new sun crossover and I’d swallow the nerd rage if it was a version of Tarkov that wasn’t dumbed down and actually worked.
Yeah "What if Tarkov but good" sounds pretty sweet, tbh.
I'm not sure if it's even possible to have that kind of game without it being a cheat and grief fest, but I'm kind of here for more attempts at it.
Tarkov is well designed imo, it just runs like shit and the devs weren’t the most experienced which led to a lot of tech debt.
As for the cheating, they could totally eliminate it if they wanted to, but it would cost money and eliminate a large revenue stream. There’s a reason they sell account 4 packs after ban waves.
I agree nothing to do about griefing, it’s kinda a core component (extract camping, knowing spots were people being valuable items for quests so they can be farmed, ect). And hardcore games just attract that in general.
Tarkov also doesn't tell you what it actually wants you to do, like there is literally no indication that standing around in a particular room in a warehouse will make you extract.
Quake Champions :rage-cry:
A new traditional quake would be awesome. With the Doom revival being so successful I’m optimistic.
I just hope they lean more into the creepy horror elements rather than porting over the new DOOM ultragore execution systems and whatnot.
But its such a proven recipe for a game right now that Idk if they would take the risk to strip back the movement and stuff like that.
It would be a cool chance to show off all the developments in lighting tech. Quake 4 was really good at using it for atmosphere.
