Given that we know like 78% of Marathons player base are also Destiny players, it will be interesting to see what this games numbers look like come June 9.

@Swandivetotheasphalt quality over quantity wins almost every time. Even if they are releasing less games than Sony, which shouldn’t surprise anyone cause Capcom has 3 studios to Sony’s 20, their quality of games are at least equal to and sometimes better than a lot of Sony’s over the last few years.

This game will be a tough sell without Kratos.

Nothing blew me away. I have to admit Sony for the first time just continues to look off their game.

@mrmartinrohr you know they are redoing that game as we speak.

It used to be so easy to make fun of Xbox’s showcase as a Sony fan but I feel like that’s really no longer the case. Very average.

Let's not pretend like the culture war hasn't gone a long way to knee cap Sony over the last 5 years as well. It doesn't matter what side of it you fall on, catering to either alienates half a consumer base. Even for a few of the games that came out that still did well, you do wonder if they would/could have done even better had they not tried to lean into it one way or the other.

Toy Story for SNES was my ish...

Fingers crossed somehow, someway, a third person view patch comes at some point...

I couldn't even get through the entire word "multiplayer" before I already passed...

Hasn't the general public been testing games for most companies for like 5+ years now already?

I swear I picked up this game for less than $20 not too long ago but when I get around to actually playing it who knows. It looks cool.

They would have to completely stop making games for me to ever have time to even contemplate trying these. And that would still take another decade after finishing the backlog first.

@LowDefAl "The majority of the user base doesn’t care what Sony do..." I like how you tell him he doesn't speak for the player base and then make a comment that tries to speak for the player base, lol.

Just making a profit doesn't mean as much anymore. It's whether it makes ENOUGH profit.

Anything from Capcom or Square please. Outside of Wolverine, I don’t have much faith in anything Sony coming up soon. That Horizon game won’t even last a month. I guess it’ll be the Concord 3 that some don’t believe Marathon is but really just Concord 4 for most.

Won’t be preordering but if everything checks out in the first few days I’ll pick it up quickly. I’m sorry but I don’t care what studio you are preordering will never be a thing for me ever again.

@BearsEatBeets question. What kind of bear is best?

RE9 went on sale so that and maybe NTE.

It figures I spent the last few months saying how great of a deal PS+ was just for them to prove me wrong, lol. I still think it’s a bargain though even with some absolute ass months thrown in.

The best part to me is how little Sony and Nintendo care or even pay attention to Xbox as they flop around like a fish out of water for the last 5 years. MS reminds me of a kid who was kind of cool in high school, but then everyone else eventually moved on, but since that was their peak they now just do ridiculous stuff to see if they can get anyone to notice them again. We do, but it’s putting our heads down in embarrassment.

@SleepyNick And you think just avoiding this place will preserve that? Like you will need to stay off the internet completely to avoid "spoilers" which I think is a big stretch to consider seeing supposed game lineups a "spoiler". There is no official list of what's going to be there so nothing is technically spoiled.

@SuperSilverback Stop coming here until State of Play is over?

@Bamila $20 says he already owns it and is just another Stan who thinks it's edgy to post this comment... There will be 30 more comments that all say the same thing and I will bet another $20 that they all own the game already too.

The only thing that could truly blow the roof off is if Concord 2 was in development this whole time...

Looking back as a former Destiny player who sees Bungie basically folding, it seems Activision did have the right strategy after all. Just release a new boxed product every couple of years with a new number. No matter how bland CoD is every couple years, it still sells multiple millions of copies. Destiny probs ,y should have just done the same thing.

Is "take a photo of your face for age estimation" actually a thing? How is an estimation a verification?

I mean I could make that pitch in 30 seconds to Capcom. "Hey, do you guys want an easy way to make a bunch more money? Green light Pragmta 2." Done.

If you can't tell the difference between the boy and the girl then why even have both?

Real talk. The single player mode got really boring really fast.

I like how articles keep claiming AI is attracting strong resistance while only showing Reddit/Twitter meltdowns. You do realize 90% of Twitter aren't even real people, right? AI is in every company across the globe right now. There is no real world resistance to it. Anyone with an actual career can tell you we are all using AI whether we want to or not.

@wildcat_kickz oof. This comment won’t age well. This game won’t make it to the end of the year. Concord just means a game that no one wanted, that cost multiple hundred millions to make, launched to abysmal numbers, didn’t make any money, and then was shut down later. Marathon is right on that timeline. It won’t make it past this year. It doesn’t make anyone a hater to just point out to the glazers what the reality of the situation is.

But this is a 9/10 game. Why does no one want to play a 9/10 game?

@The_Jobbo I bet a bunch of people will read your comment and stop behaving the way they do immediately.

@Mr_B021 Brother between 83-85% of ps game sales are digital. They aren't going to make it cheaper where all their customers are buying games at, lol.

This is one of those games I root for and enjoy watching each content update, but just can't get myself to sit down and invest in this game because it seems way too far ahead now. But it's cool to see them continue to produce free content for those that stay up to date.

Cautiously optimistic. These types of games are always hit or miss.

When you start trying to write stories talking about these kind of numbers, you know the game failed commercially. I will give it a go when they put it on Plus.

Hope Yotie is under $50. I would like to play it but I am not spending $70 on a glorified DLC.

@INeedGoodGraphics There is actually a lot of fighting on this front to push us into a world where you can resell digital. Will it ever get here? Who knows. But it's nice to think about.

Sounds perfect to play on the PS+ catalog in a few years.

I want a top to bottom Devil May Cry Remake.

Feeling blessed I have never had to worry about saving a few dollars here and there a month on gaming...

Yeah, and the discussion would be "I can't believe another AAA studio released an unfinished game".

Correct me if I’m wrong but when ND does launch their $300 million dollar game, it makes more than just $50 million back, right?

@sanderson72 bro! You saved £15? Enjoy 3 extra gallons of gas next fill up! You’re truly outdoing us all.

Wow. You mean a bunch of people who live their life on the internet are upset one of their streaming services went up slightly and rage like it’s the end of the world? Shocker. These are all the same people who never buy games day 1 either and then get upset studios are shut down and devs are fired because they won’t buy games that aren’t on sale for 90% off. There’s no argument PS+ isn’t truly valuable. You’re just asking a bunch of people who would never agree with a price hike no matter what the circumstances might be.

Unless it was a full blown remake I wouldn't touch it. Playing old games has fooled me too many times. It’s nostalgia tricking a lot of people into thinking it looks and plays like you remember and then realizing there’s a reason it was left in the past for those memories. Full remake and I’m in though.

I love ads. I usually fast forward through the boring movie or tv show part just to get to the ads.

Is there actually real gameplay in this?
