If I am not mistaken, the story in Marathon 2026 is told pretty much how it is in the trilogy. It's not lacking a story mode, just that the gameplay loop is not a level-be-level design of a SP game. 

But I do think remakes of the original trilogy, even if released standalone, could be helpful. 

I want the remakes because I believe in the reuse of assets. Would be a shame to have those great 3d models and only use them for one game.

Despite Marathon doing worse everyday since release and still in that trend, seems like Bungie does want to keep improving it "for years to come".

I don't know how long they can convice Sony to keep it up when the playerbase keep getting smaller, but if they do have time to keep working on it at least someday they may struck an audience, but they really are due to add an story mode and expand it to a complete new audience. I may try it myself if so (and if there is a physical version with the story content on it).

They are definitely developing Destiny 3 right now, and they will be fully into Playstation Studios by this year's end, I firmly believe that, so best of luck to them.

It's not a retelling. The new game takes place decades after the events of the original games. So it is technically Marathon 4. Or 3. Depending on how each person views Infinity lol.

Or are you referring to how the story plays out? If so, yeah they are very similar lol. Primarily through interactivity with terminals.

yeah I meant the latter!



Welp I wasn't really planning to, but I just preordered Saros. Physical.

Literally got a 42% discount on the preorder.

I think this might be the best preorder discount I've ever gotten for a game. Got 30% for both Death Strading 2 and Ghost of Yotei last year and it was good, was getting a 32% on Saros but choose to pass it this time to wait for discounts later, but a general 10% off coupon popped on Amazon and I tried stacking on it and it worked lol.

Long live physical media.
