Subject: Is Bungie making another Marathon?

I think that i read somewhere that Bungie was going to make a new Marathon or maybe it was going to be a remake. Maybe it was just a dream but im pretty sure that i read it. Does anyone know if this is going to be one of Bungie's upcoming projects?

No. Bungie stated that they are working on a new IP somewhere. I don't have the link, but either way I know that they said somewhere that it's totally new.

A marathon remake would be fun, but there's something new in store for us.

Probably not.
Their next game is most likely going to be an MMO, and an MMO set in the Marathon universe would be sort of risky.

I don't know if you are trying to troll on my thread discription but even of you are it's a pretty fail troll because everyone else understood what i was saying. And if you aren't trolling then why would i take offence to it cuz i'm not making the game lol.
And as for everone elses comments, I am sad to hear that they're not making another Marathon but i think that this MMO could turn out quite well and im waiting to see what its about.

I'll have the roast duck . . . with the mango salsa.

Do they even hold the rights to Marathon anymore?

Did they get lost to M$ with the Halo rights?

The two properties are closely related and M$ has Marathon 2 on XBLA. It was ported by a third party. I was just wondering this earlier today.

I mean that the original Marathon had terminals tell the story.
ergo adding talking characters and A.I.s would not fit well
therefore they would have to include terminals to keep the "Marathon Feel". a prospect that only works on a cpu game

Oh ok I see what you are talking about. And that's a good point and I don't know what they would do to make it modern but still have the Marathon feel. I think that they could still have the terminals but they could make the A.I.s talk.

I don't think you understood him. In Marathon, there are no cut scenes. The story progresses through terminals that the players have to read. That's what he was complaining about.

Yes. Bungie renewed its rights to the Marathon IP, which is why you won't find the Marathon logo or rampancy symbol in Halo: Reach.

Whoa, calm down. If you hate Bungie so much why are you a member? Yes, I know you liked their Halo games except for Reach, but Bungie has made all of their games really well. I personally think that you have never played any of their older games and the only reason you hate Reach is because you suck at it.

What makes Marathon posts annoying? There are a million posts about Bungie's other games too, do you find those posts annoying as well?
