Sony avtäckte ett antal live service-titlar under Playstation Showcase förra månaden, men de var alla CG-teasers som inte erbjöd ens en gnutta gameplay. Lyckligtvis verkar journalisten och insidern Tom Henderson veta lite mer om vad Bungies kommande titel, Marathon, handlar om.
Enligt uppgift börjar du i fiendens territorium med upp till två andra vänner och måste sedan "extract" resurser och utrustning - därav namnet "extraction shooter", vilket händelsevis är samma typ av spel som Escape from Tarkov.
"So what exactly is Marathon? Marathon is a 3-person extraction shooter with features that you might find familiar if you play games like Escape From Tarkov. However, if you're not a fan of playing as a team, it's understood that you can jump into a server as a duo or solo if you wish, but you'll still face bigger teams. Extracting without your team is also seemingly a feature."
En funktion som skiljer spelet från andra i genren är syresystemet:
"One of the biggest and potentially controversial features within the game is an oxygen system. All players have a limited oxygen supply that essentially acts like the match countdown timer - Once the player loses oxygen, you begin to lose health. Extracting before you run out of oxygen and health is the goal, but players can also find O2 canisters in the match, or subsequently buy them at an expensive price on the market before heading into battle."
