I'm actually more interested in what happened to David Caruso then what's going on with this game. Has he actually started anything in the past decade?

Scrap it and just start on Destiny 3 (or whatever the next fps is with that sweet smooth gunplay). Make it all solo or co-op with a great story, no pvp garbage, no live service, just a FPS RPG please and print money for yourselves.

They can't.. I believe they are literally corned-hole into figuring out how to save the business, it sounds like Sony gave them a year(which is very odd coming out of them).
But at the end of the day, they chased that Fortnite money and failed, not only Sony but Bungie/Bluepoint(RIP)/and that one studio that did that one game.

I think what really killed this game is Arc Raiders which just plays better, normal art style, way more and timely support and it got insane popularity from way back in beta. And it released just ahead of Marathon. This game had no chance. Not to mention the controversy overt the stealing of art assets, shit beta experiences which made them delay and redesign shit to make it more fun. And really in a tiny niche market anyway. These games are not really that popular when it comes to the general gaming audience.
They should have stuck to what made them what they are. PVE shit, raids, dungeons, and those smooth ass shooter mechanics they perfected. Like, IDK, doble down on D2 (too late) or just make D3 with a fresh start and a better on boarding experience for players which D2 is severely lacking. They had the means to print money but they chose some stupid game in a tiny slice of pie genre and spent a quarter of a billion dollars making it and in the interim, stalling any D2 content which also killed that game too. Shit, go back and make Marathon a PvE shooter game like Destiny.

was talking to a friend about it, more people cared about the art thief than the game. even the normal people i watch that love to shit on bad games barely talked about it.
