Gaming news today is all about Arc Raiders vs Marathon. Arc Raiders gameplay is now very visible because of the Arc Raiders tech test 2 and many are comparing it to the Marathon Bungie game. Both are extraction shooters and both will be $40, and some are already declaring the winner. We also watched and reacted to the Borderlands 4 State of Play and I think the Borderlands 4 gameplay looks fantastic. We also have Xbox sales results and while hardware is understandably down, revenue and sales are up.

Bungie's Marathon gameplay reveal left the community divided, but a deeper analysis reveals significant red flags and worrying signs for the upcoming extraction shooter. While some see potential, many reactions point to a slow, bland, and derivative experience. In this video, I break down the underwhelming PlayStation Showcase presentation, the critical lack of a hook, and the growing list of problems emerging from hands-on feedback that suggest Marathon might be in serious trouble even before launch.Is Marathon just a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) after years of development? We'll touch upon reports about internal pessimism and a potential rush to market. It feels less like a passion project and more like a genre Bungie wanted to try, resulting in something that feels uninspired and potentially "cooked" before arrival. I share my conclusion – echoing concerns I had even before the showcase – that Bungie might be setting Marathon up for failure.From the creators of Halo and DestinyScavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV in Bungie’s team-based FPS extraction shooter. Choose your Runner and work together in crews of three as you battle rival teams and hostile security forces for weapons and upgrades. Survive and your loot is yours to keep for future runs on Tau Ceti—or if you’re brave enough, a journey to the derelict Marathon ship that hangs above.
