"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."

I really hope everything works out well.

So, at this point are you planning on adding anything to the games? Or will it be a completely straight (or about as straight as 2D to 3D will offer) port?

Also, actually animating the intro from the games manuals would kick so many levels of ass.

Again, I really really hope everything works out well.

Marathon wasn't 2D, it was 2.5D.

Also, a completely straight port would look silly. I don't know if UT3 even supports rendering 2D animated sprites the way marathon does, and the textures for marathon are like, 128x128.

Actually, he's referring to the wave-motion cannon that was cut from Marathon 1.

it must've been cut pretty early, because I played the beta.

Lies, One of the Marathon 1 levels was past 3D, You walked in a tunnel where you were moments before walking to the tunnel, its hard to explain, but i believe they used that in the map 5-D Space.

It's mentioned in one of the terminals.

I will be so happy if this is true. I've tried playing Marathon and Marathon: Durandal, and even though they are great, I find it harder to get tied up into the story with the not so smooth graphics and the plot being told by text. If you remaster these games, please make someone do a voice over for the terminals.
That is a terrible idea. if you can't get into the text terminals, marathon isn't right for you.
I kind of agree with it being a bad idea. Reading is good. If you can't get into a story because it's told through text then Marathon isn't for you and neither are books.

Leave terminals the way they are.

Too bad someone couldn't slip that tidbit to 343 before they decided that the all mighty Forerunners had a thing for leaving the tale of their species in a motion comic format.

The wave-motion cannon will not be a weapon in our remake of Marathon and Marathon 2: Durandal.

So you are not remaking Infinity???

  • 08.12.2011 2:48 AM PDT

You still haven't answered my questions. Right now it looks like this project is a fake.

And I looked up the wave motion cannon, it appeared in no terminals, but was mentioned in the games resource fork.

I could have sworn it was. LoL at my memory.

  • 08.12.2011 8:42 AM PDT

If this is really I will definitely get it. I love marathon but the graphics can be real crap sometimes. I also actually like the text based story it seems to have more depth to it than most games now.

  • 08.12.2011 11:05 AM PDT

No updates? Really too bad, I was excited about this for a moment.

Sorry for the lack of updates, we've been going through some legality issues with the UDK software.

To clarify, we're taking the campaigns from Marathon and Marathon 2: Durandal, and combining them into one super-long, fantastic experience. I like Infinity as much as the next guy, but it won't make an appearance in Rekindled. Sorry.

Err...? Legality issues?
