It'll be very interesting to see what happens with Marathon's plagiarism situation because it seems a lot of the stolen assets make up quite a big portion of the details that compliment the art style. They are supposedly conducting a full asset audit and investigation, and I wouldn't be surprised if this game gets delayed even with it not coming out for another 4 months or so. If they can't find a resolution in this respect then they'll either have to whip up something quick or leave the game looking plain. It'll be shite either way. What's going to sink this game even more from a community standpoint is the amount of AI slop and contractors involved. Bungie used to be about the craft, innovation, vision and the team but now it's all about cost-cutting, property theft and temp employees to fill in gaps before AI finishes papers over the cracks. At this stage, being creatively bankrupt would be a massive improvement for them. Not only will they be going toe to toe with Arc Raiders, they are also being branded 'Art Raiders' as the humiliations and bad PR continue. Former staff have begun speaking out against management in the past few years and it's not good hearing that either.

MGS2 had a pretty awesome intro and Deus Ex

This 'enhanced' edition is an absolute disgrace. Alarm bells were ringing going into the game seeing a 'mostly negative' rating and boy oh boy did they hit the mark. Graphics are blurry as hell maxed out. Several things have been omitted and others have been censored. No reason to play this over even the vanilla original. What a disappointment but this is where the industry is at these days.

Was just gonna say the same thing ^^^^ Installing Shadow of Chernobyl right now

Another huge PR blow as Paul Tassi is seen as a huge Bungie supporter and optimist of games like this It’s Just Over For ‘Marathon’ WWW.FORBES.COM Marathon has always been teetered on the edge of future failure, but now that seems set in stone after recent events.

Final Fantasy 9

Plus the enhanced editions wont overwrite the classics which is great. Any other AAA company would've removed the originals from sale and replaced them with broken AI outsourced garbage costing £49.99.

'The vibes have never been worse' Bungie's morale is reportedly in 'free fall' following its art theft fiasco | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Devs also claim they have been often ignored by the studio's "good old boy" leadership regarding the overarching design. I still can't believe Bungie are in this position compared to where they were a decade ago. I always knew leaving Activision would be a monumental mistake when they had it so comfortable there. They were cocky dickheads after the breakaway and were instantly barely sustainable going it alone with all the operating and future development costs to self-fund. Sony were always going to be the final nail in the coffin for them after the shamefully embarrassing takeover especially as their only thought is live service slop and milking dead horses. If only they turned their attentions to Destiny 3. They will sadly join BioWare. 343 aren't too far behind either as Halo is on its last legs two years into a ten year plan. Greed has crippled so many iconic studios.

Great PR once again Bungie as they are at it again Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Update: Bungie lays the blame on a former artist. What's wrong with these big companies that they have to stoop so low? Maybe they could just move up in the world and use AI instead if they are that starved of basic ideas🤣

Reviews are coming in and the game is out shortly. Seems to be a fairly positive reception. At £70 for the base-game, I think I will wait for a very deep sale. Absolutely Absurd pricing.

Beta access has begun but I think I'll give it a miss. Final product looks pretty shambolic and about 10 years out of date. Nowhere near the standard that was initially portrayed. A real shame because it's a decent price and a good concept but I'm just not as forgiving with these jank-fests these days.

Arsenal game was not quite as entertaining but my god did they miss some chances early on and paid the price. I actually thought they could turn it around and win quite comfortably and they could've achieved that within the first 20 minutes. PSG scoring first and then getting a foothold made things really hard and although Saka missed a good chance to set up a tense finale, it was never a close contest as the game wore on. Spurs better not balls it up tonight!

I've played about 12 hours so far and I can comfortably say this is one of the best games of the generation so far. The world design is stunning, the story is intriguing, the characters and voice acting is top tier and the writing is fantastic. Even the music is stunningly beautiful. The combat is great fun as it combines what you'd normally see in a JRPG, but with interactive QTE moments enabling you to dodge, parry and counterattack, rather than let the computer and RNG determine it for you. You have to learn enemy move-sets like you would typically in the likes of Sekiro and this can be a challenge in itself along with timing the inputs perfectly within the small window available. The game is pretty linear at its core but this is good as it cuts out all the open world crap that plagues modern games. There's no filler here - everything flows incredibly well and you are constantly engaged especially with the characters and the remarkable story. To think just 30 people made this using Unreal 5 and it's only just over 50gb is absolutely crazy! Expedition 33 is just so far ahead of what any other AAA developer can churn out now, it is quite frankly embarrassing for the likes of Ubisoft and BioWare. It'll be a huge wake-up call for Final Fantasy too. It's games like this that make actually save the industry. The fact it's only £30-40 when AAA games are to be pushing £75-80 makes this an essential purchase. I'm also glad the shadow-release of Oblivion Remastered hasn't hampered its success - 2m copies sold in 12 days and it's the fastest selling game of its kind even ahead of Final Fantasy, Persona and Yakuza.

I really enjoyed the game last night and it was refreshing to see football played in its purest form outside of this horrendous slow-paced tippy tappy posession-based way we usually see today. PSG did the same last week and it was brutally effective and great to watch.
