Never mind that, they're making a new game called Marathon that the marketing department decided must be about running, it sounds like a cross between Temple Run and Made in Abyss, and... it has absolutely nothing to do with the original Marathon series that put Bungie on the map. So is it a relaunch of Marathon or isn't it? "It's a reimagining of Marathon... We want you to buy it because you remember the original, but we don't want to give you the original game."
So, it's a PvP extraction shooter. If it was a remake of the original, this would have gotten my attention. I mean, I did play Halo for the same of its campaign mode.
Speaking of remake, if the rumor about the Halo remake is true, then I hope Halo Studios, Microsoft or whatever would do it right this time. The Halo Anniversary remaster actually didn't do the campaign enough justice. Graphic upgrade is fine, but the environment had become too bright. The horror feel in the Flood encounter was completely lost as a result, because the focus was more on the shiny, detailed interiors rather than blood and zombie goo. The flashlight which was a feature in the original was also made pointless. The swamp, the canyons, the Library, the heavily damaged Truth & Reconciliation, the corridors in the Pillar of Autumn. We were meant to navigate in the dark. We were meant to feel hopeless against the Flood.
