Sounds like EA/Nintendo pricing has taken hold.

So... is there any relation to the Marathon that came out in 1994 by Bungie?

Because... the art style genuinely looks awesome but I don't see anything that reminds me of the original. Not in enemies, or gameplay, or plot, it also seems entirely online multi-player, I see no rogue AI.

Honestly I would be intrigued by the art style alone but... the shameless name grab makes me think it's gonna flop.

Such a shame. I do think Halo was very much already the spiritual successor to Marathon, and I know all the studios just want to have the big multiplayer game that everyone plays for years and years these days, but man was I excited when I first saw the teaser for this last year. I still name all my computer equipment after Marathon AIs.
