      @@brethnew And in doing so they standardized the controls for shooters on console. Dual stick controls seem pretty obvious now, but back when Halo came out, many shooters were still using tank controls where you couldn’t move and look at the same time, or you had to use shoulder buttons to strafe.
      And after that Halo 2 went on to define modern matchmaking to the point that even PC games use it today. Bungie truly was special.

      It's super interesting starting at 6:03 when SameToken describes one of the considered plot lines for the OG Marathon as "bringing aboard artifacts to the Marathon..." especially considering we kept hearing about "artifacts" and "prime artifacts" in the Marathon ViDoc.

      They should do full 3D remakes of the trilogy ROTT 2013, Doom 4 & Doom Eternal style with a full 3D remake of Marathon Eternal as an expansion pack for Infinity’s one, followed by a proper Marathon 4. (Incidentally, Halo 1 was actually going to be Marathon 4 in a very early alpha story that has long been scrapped and Eternal was based on that version of Halo) Full level editing software as well like they did with the original Vulcan games (but a lot more user friendly than their Aleph One counterparts).

      @@thelemon5069 It will have to be something very special to pass muster, IMO. The market is already flooded with PVP titles (which have to compete for player base) and they are far too prone to “live service” pitfalls. Plus, the spirit of the original Marathon games was the journey through the campaign as much as the action- learning about the AI’s personalities, digging into lore on terminals, and the turns of the story. That type of thing will be little more than window dressing in a rinse-and-repeat PVP experience, if even that.

    It's worth mentioning here that Marathon, Marathon: Durandal, and Marathon Infinity are all currently available on iPhone and iPad. If nothing else it's a trip into the history of FPS game design at that time (not to mention a nostalgia trip for those of us who played the heck out of it at the time), and insight into the origins of concepts that would migrate their way into the Halo games. Of course, if you really want to see where the roots of Halo came from, both Marathon and the MYTH games had many elements that evolved into what became Halo.

    During my job in publishing house at 1994 played some Mac specific games. Pathways Into Darkness turned out awfully hard and due to permanent dark fog kinda depressing. Never finished it. But Marathon was a blast. Then employer business bankrupted and was able to finish the rest of trilogy after 15 years as Aleph One. It was still good. Marathon trilogy certainly need a proper remake. It would be a blast again. I remember original artwork and intermission screens - on decent engine views will be not less spectacular than in Halo MCC.

    Man this brings me back. It started for me with the first game in the mid 90s. As the years went on it got better and better, one year I got the Marathon Trilogy Boxset for Christmas. My mom was the best. The boxset let you design your own levels as well, it was jam packed.

      That's because Marathon Infinite (the third game) had a level maker in it.

    Excited to see your take on Oni. It's like a caricature of everything 2001.
    The cringy American anime aesthetic of the early 2000's combined with The Matrix while also having interesting gameplay mechanics was like a recipe for chaos but it somehow worked really well.

    My niche opinion. If Marathon got brought back, rebooted, remade, whatever... Joel Nielsen would be perfect for an updated vibe and soundtrack I feel. For those who don't know he did the soundtrack for Black Mesa, the rather impressive fan remake of Half-Life. A lot of good heart and emotion in them, and one track in particular (Questionable Ethics 1) got me curious about how Joel would handle a song like the Durundal Theme
