Is Marathon headed for disaster?

[VAMatt]

Because it's coming from Bungie, it's going to get some attention. So, if it's a decent game, it'll at least do okay. There's no chance of it just getting lost, because of the Bungie pedigree. If it's a below average game, that same Bungie pedigree is going to result in amplification of that bad news, just as it has with all the bad news over the last few months.

But then when you consider that Bungie doesn't make bad games, it would seem unlikely that it's going to suck. Combine that with the fact that it's going to get attention, and I would say there's a pretty good chance of it being at least a decent success. I would bet against it being a Destiny level success, because very few games can reach that level. But, I would also bet it against it being a disaster.
