Frog blast the ventcore!

How many of you would appreciate if Bungies next game was a remake of Marathon or a brand new installment to the series?

Marathon or Myth...

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Oni 2. It should be Oni 2, or a reworking of the original. Recon agrees, I just know it.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

I don't think it should be a remake, It should definitely be a brand new layout, but still keep some of the gameplay characteristics.

I've never had more fun in a video game while flying through the air and not jumping.

Oh, and add some cutscenes. The only problem I found with Marathon was that you didn't grasp any strong visual concept of the story because you either read about what's happening on the terminals, or you just look at your surroundings in the game itself.

Ultimately, I would strongly support a new Marathon.

I want to see something new. But I can't deny that a Marathon remake, or sequel would be cool.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

If they make a remake of Marathon, I just hope it isn't as confusing . . . I've never played Myth (I'll look into it) or ONI (I'll look into it).

I wish.. Marathon deserves it.

I'd love to see Marathon again. I'm pretty sure they're going to do a completely new universe, though.

While remakes or long-overdue sequels sound nice, I'm definitely looking forward to something new. I think it would be better if modders took up some recreation projects.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

As a long time fan of Bungie's work, this is usually where I say that bungie has done everything it needs to. It made three outstanding games that all stand well on their own. I gave us possibly one of the greatest stories ever told by a video game.

However, I've been kind of been increasingly interested in the idea that someone else would make a new marathon game, or one in the same vein, with Bungie's blessing. After all, if memory serves me well, Greg Kirkpatrick once said on a letter to the escapist that the major reason they used terminals to tell the story was because they didn't have any other methods. As such, it would be interesting to see what someone would be able to do with the same story today.

Note that I'm not necessarily talking about a retail game, but something in a similar vein to a number of the ports that people have been trying to make, but with more concern for the over all feel and idea of the game than a pixel for pixel remake.
