Marathon, Marathon: Durandal, and Marathon: Infinite Remastered
One of the things that Bungie usually does great is come up with awesome ideas, and make good on it later. The Marathon trilogy was/ is one of the first games Bungie created and, like iD Software's DOOM, was an old-school first-person shooter where you basically kill aliens and get awesome weapons. Why am I comparing it to DOOM you may ask. Recently, as many of you know, there was a re-release of DOOM which ran amazing graphics at 60fps on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. I feel that the Marathon trilogy should deserve the same treatment. Have updated graphics, new game mechanics, and have them tell the story they envisioned with these new graphics. DOOM had a huge following and it was wildly successful. With Bungie's massive fan-base and talented employees, it would be massive. I would really love to see Bungie make a remastered Marathon game. Greatness ensues.

Amen to that! I'd give my left....arm to get the trilogy (I'd happily settle for the original if nothing else) on Xbox one.
-
It would need to be a remake instead of a remaster. Jumping alone changes the maps significantly. But, I have been pining for years for a remake, while staying faithful to the established story and lore. Hearing Durandal laugh while firing orbital bombardments would be epic.

DOOM 2016 was more of a reboot than a re-release or remastering. Some even consider it a sequel to the classic DOOMs. A remastering doesn't change the core of the game or its mechanics, and really only improves on what's there. Which would be a fine thing for Marathon. But DOOM 2016 is probably not the best comparison to a potential remastered Marathon.

Marathon 4 >>>>>>>> I'd prefer a reboot of the series rather than a remaster but I'd take either.

Изменено (Kankunation): 9/12/2016 5:43:40 PMMaybe. However, same as doom, a true remaster wouldn't work in this day and age. A full remake or even a reboot would probably be needed for it to be successful.

2 отв.There was a clause in the original Activision contract to let Bungie dedicate 5% of their workforce to doing a Marathon remake/remaster. Frankly if they just remade the maps and weapons with Destiny's engine, that'd satisfy me for another 20 years. It's awesome enough just replaying them on Aleph One.
-
Only if it's done without Activision.
-
A reboot would be cool.
-
1 ответFrog blast the vent core!
-
Marathon remake? Yes, please. With Cate Blanchette as Leela, Liam Neeson as Tycho, and John Malkovich as Durandal.

[url=https://alephone.lhowon.org/] You can get the entire original series for free (legally) btw. [/url] There are even graphical enhancements and plenty of add-ons [url=http://simplici7y.com/]available.[/url]

4 отв.I never got to play the trilogy. Always wanted to. I would love to try it out on the Xbox but with the original mechanics.
-
2 отв.It would be cool but Bungie is too busy with Destiny.
-
Couldn't get into Durandal XBLA, but hey, maybe a better looking version.
-
Yeah maybe they can finally make it have good netcode I love playing it when I join in FCAW's sessions, but god damn it feels like any other game would still play better from the Curiosity Rover's connection
-
DOOM was a reboot, a remaster usually implies slapping a fresh coat of paint (or HD textures) to the existing game. And I don't think Bungie would bother fully remaking the games when they've got a giant IP to work on.
