This new game has essentially no relation besides name and logo to the old Marathon games. Sadly, because the old ones were the shit.
Calling this a Marathon game makes no sense, and I don’t just mean aesthetically. The business case can’t possibly be there, either.
Anyone who has a nostalgic attachment to Marathon (👋) won’t be interested in this new game, and anyone interested in this new game probably doesn’t care about the name “Marathon.”
On top of that, there’s the fact that Marathon kind of looked like Halo. When Bungie made Halo, they were clearly taking after their own art style from their previous games. Which means Bungie could have announced that they’re making a singleplayer first person shooter that kind of looks like Halo. Everyone would have lost their minds. Instead, they announced yet another live service game, and no one is interested.
How dare you.
I loved the Marathon games. They were better than Doom!
Edit; My bad, I thought you said they “Were shit,” instead of “The shit.”
My bad. Carry on.
It’s okay, ‘the shit’ is a weird phrase anyway. And as a Marathon trilogy connoisseur, you’re clearly alright.
I’m a little late to this party but this can be easily avoided by using the phrase “the shiz”. Just gotta train autocorrect to accept it.
This just reminds me of this guy…who also has one about the word ‘ass’.

I’m so glad you linked this because it was my first thought as well and I was like damn I am going to struggle to find that haha
This is brilliant, thanks for the link!
Yeah, it’s a weird phrase, today. It was popular 20 years ago.
It meant “The best” back then.
But thanks for the positive vibe, and comment.
No cap fr fr
Well now I’m not buying it.
Its worse than that: this game is somehow CANON with the original Marathon
My vent core feels retroactively unblasted by this revelation. You really can’t expect anything good from any of the major studios anymore these days.
How dare you
