    This isn’t marathon, this is Bungie trying to make something new and hoping people buy it because of an established intellectual property.

      I don’t think the Marathon ip is big enough to ride on the name. The trailers don’t give a Marathon vibe anyway.

        Which begs the question, why use the IP in the first place?

        It’s especially weird because they just recently gave the green light for the Aleph One developers to release the originals on Steam, so it’s probably more well-known now than ever before. Even though it’s still relatively obscure, why do that now? It just doesn’t make sense.
