5 years of development

It is going to be a dumpster fire. I don't know why it isn't free to play.

Online gaming is dead. This shit is so annoying. You can't type in some games, you can't talk in other games. All because sensitive faggots can't use a mute/ignore button.

Bungie invented it and their fans logically want it back as a bungie creation for a bungie game

Man its really weird. I dont know much about the Marathon series but I thought it was more aliens and Super AI ships

expectations have been le subverted

Call of Duty is the last game with full voice chat and people dismiss it cus hurr durr cod is so dumb meanwhile Marvel Rivals is the premier fps rn.

i dont think you need proximity chat in games
and it can have 1 map for all i care its not like cod the map can be big
but its gonna be shit, just not for those reasons

any game riding bandwagons (extraction shooter, battle royale ....) will always be shit

Even if that's the case though Activision has

highest earning shooter on market

tons of other valuable IP

a good variety in the amount of dev teams it has and good contacts in other industries like fromsoft

Activision was mainly a publisher also
And then Sony decided to buy Bungie for 3.6B and some extra to pay employees that got fired anyway, but bungie has

a dying MMO

two dead IPs

burned all their bridges with activision

And for some reason sony still thought 3.6B was a fair price

I mean I still play CS2 with full voice chat. I thought rivals had chat? Either way it only is fun with friends because those types of games suck with randos.

Marvel Rivals is premier because it's a gooner game and an overwatch replacement more than it is good. It's like overwatch before everything got overly balanced and corporate

it looks like a ps3 game

It looks good

You now know there's somebody near by

You can mute them via a shotgun to the head and get on with the match

Woahhhh

But do the graphics look good?

how the fuck are there only 3 maps what the fuck have the 300 devs been doing?

Sony paid 3 billion dollars for this garbage

Yes, my best gaming memories have been bullshitting/shit talking with random strangers in gaming. The fact that they are taking that from us is upsetting.

They were probably working on some other live service slop that got cancelled

The people telling you that developer in the gaming industry is a hard job are gatekeeping the fucking jobs

You can't tell me 300 peoples work on this for 5 years

All three games are available for free on Steam including HD texture mods, if you're up for some retro-gaming. I'm biased since I played Marathon as a kid and hearing the old sound-effects give me nostalgia-shivers.
"Nostalgia.... it's delicate, but potent!"

Bungie is going to finally die

Are you telling me this glorified tech-demo isn't worth 3 billion dollarinos?

Destiny whales will keep them afloat for years

AI devs

Imagine, 100x more negroes and jewish pilpul on your screen.

most of the destiny dolphins stopped paying and I can't imagine the whales will pay for sloppah expansions that don't have their favorite characters and VA in it

Use a IP that has effectively been "dead" since 1996

Said IP has an cult classic status, and an extremely devoted fanbase to this very day

Slap the name of this IP onto a game that very obviously was meant to be something else

Oy vey why are people complaining about this, says the dev lead

Curbstomp modern game devs, roundhouse kick modern devs into the concrete, shoot modern devs with a 50. CAL sniper rifle.

You're afraid of socializing?

heh chuds can’t create communities if there’s no voice chat!

wtf why is this playerbase so bland and dead?

start looking for another job bungiefag, the clock is ticking for lay offs

>no proximity chat

this is a good thing.

you can't make games that breaks Twitch ToS

fuck you and your streamers shit

saaar thinks AI will be any better

>no proximity chat

You want to know why? Because one of the leads at Bungie used to get called a chink and slut and other slurs when she played Counterstrike online so she vowed to gimp all communication features in Destiny and now Marathon
financialpost.com/technology/gaming/destiny-2-social-lead-m-e-chung-on-how-bungie-used-a-super-bowl-ring-philosophy-to-balance-community

When we started talking about it … I have like rose-colored glasses when I think about the old server days. I don’t know how often you played games back then, but Counter-Strike was important to me in my life and Warcraft 1 and 2, 3, like hanging out on Battle.net servers and whatnot.

I loved playing on those things, but I over time conditioned myself (as a woman) to only use text chat, never use voice. I had a very neutral gamer tag. It’s funny because people would talk about, “Oh, it wasn’t that toxic back then.” I’m like, “No, it was. It’s just there were less female gamers back then, so you probably didn’t see it as much.”

Man, that lady should have been growing up in Germany in the 90s like me (as a half-chink).
It definitely desensitized me on racial slurs (to an extend that is problematic, but that's another issue entirely).

This woman's only experience prior to getting hired by Bungie was running a failed esports league and she is now a top manager. She controls all of the social features and of course looks like pic related

"me no rikey chat you no chat now gweilo"

This bitch is some nepobaby hire or good at giving head to get ahead.

On, that’s a woman?

Wait, this is a competitive shooter now? What the fuck happened?

Well at least it has good gunpl-

only prior experience was esports shit

senior game designer

It's to identify people. What is the point of co-op competitiveness that requires immediate and clear communication and NOT have any voice comms?

Grim

Why do people keep posting about proximity chat? Do you really want some dude hiding near you to spam ALABAMA N***** over their microphone for the millionth time

Yes, and if you're worried have an option to disable it for sensitive gaymurs.

someone somewhere might say something some time. therefore we need to completely remove this feature

This game deserves to flop and the industry is 13 years overdue for a total crash.

you never heard of marathon before this and just want a reason to dilate your wound on Anon Babble

It's so funny that in a game about mercilessly killing each other, shit talking is not allowed. Why didn't that Asian chick just use a voice modifier instead of ruining the fun for everyone else?

It's a high profile game made by a high profile dev that had a really poor initial showing despite being in development for 5 years and people are talking about it.

DAMN APEX LOOKS LIKE THAT????

I basically got into the destiny alpha when it dropped and it made me hate the whole company.

They put the lore on fucking qr code collector cards. The planets were just a borderlands zone. That whole company sucks chode.
