Recently graduated basic training for the #AirForce back in Lackland, Texas, and it was the best decision in my life! It's been one heck of a journey and it's only just beginning, currently in Pensacola, Florida learning my career field and it's been a blast!
@Skarrow9 I'm praying that priority contracts can be completed in Expeditions. New players will be turned off asap if they feel as though they can't follow the story without being "forced" into the extraction mode.
Been working really hard on Expedition, I'm so excited for y'all to get to try it. So many cool new systems and mechanics in there.
Even more than that, I'm excited for the pve servers to not be empty when I get off work and log in to play! Solo-ing the [redacted] is NOT EASY.
@PolcoDio61896@PaulTassi When a game is damn near guaranteed to fail, better to cancel it and reuse the talent for something more financially enticing than force a release, shutdown the game, and inevitably shutdown the studio. The money hurts, but the aforementioned is even worse for investors and such
@SpecterGr1d@Zakguard@PaulTassi It's a moot point anyway since I completely forgot about The Show, which I barely want to count since sports games these days are basically infinite money glitches, and it being annualized is basically double dipping like COD does.
@SpecterGr1d@Zakguard@PaulTassi Helldivers 2 objectively wasn't made in house, what are you on about 😭? I only pointed this out to highlight how inept Sony's first party live service initiative was. Their only successful new live service being developed by an independent studio is noteworthy
@PaulTassi@SpecterGr1d@Zakguard Admittedly, I completely forgot about The Show, but I feel like sports games are almost cheating in this conversation, they're in a league of their own and are basically guaranteed to be printing money since they have essentially no competition in their respective niches.
@SpecterGr1d@Zakguard@PaulTassi Like legitimately, with Fairgames canceled and the Horizon multiplayer game going for a non-live service coop route, is there anything left?
@SpecterGr1d@Zakguard@PaulTassi I don't see any functional difference, they both own their respective IPs, but neither of them developed those franchises. The whole point I'm driving at is the Sony has no viable in-house live service games other than Marathon and since Bungie is wholly owned by them.
@SpecterGr1d@Zakguard@PaulTassi Sony published Helldivers 2, Arrowhead (the developers) are independent, so it doesn't really count imo. It'd be like calling Xbox the creators of Call of Duty and Fallout. Technically true, but spiritually false.
The evolution of Marathon starts on December 8 with the launch of our next update, Symbiosis. We're opening the game to everyone during Open Play Week! https://t.co/zTwA9ZGrpm
Get a taste of Marathon's evolution with Symbiosis, coming Dec 8, 2026. Introducing the PvE Expedition mode; Deathmatch, our PvP beta; the new Runner Shell Bishop; and more.
@Geezaws2 I fully expect them to milk 6 for as long as humanly possible, and either make an RDR3 or new franchise entire (praying for a Medieval game in the same vain as RDR and GTA 🙏)
@BeigeFrequency The finale (and last season in general) was cheeks, but this scene in a vacuum was pretty good, and I feel like most reasonable people who weren't too hot on the show would agree.
