As a gamer, I’m pumped about Marathon’s grand reveal, where Bungie unveiled some gameplay sneak peeks! The buzz was electric with news of an upcoming Closed Alpha and the game’s planned release later this year, coinciding with Borderlands 4. However, in a surprising twist, the developers chose to keep us guessing about the game’s pricing details – no tag revealed yet!
The extraction shooter isn’t much longer from reaching us, slated for release in September. However, a select few fortunate individuals will get an early taste of it during the Closed Alpha this very month.
In the first trailer, they demonstrated the thrilling combat experience in player-versus-player matches and showcased various weapons for players. Additionally, the agile movements of characters, or runners, were highlighted. Bungie also announced that at launch, there will be six distinct character classes to choose from.
In the game “The First Berserker: Khazan“, the three most frequently used weapons are the Neglected Greatsword, Imperial Soldier’s Spear, and Fallen Lord’s Spear. Interestingly, this lineup aligns with the most commonly used types of weapons in the game, which were predominantly spears, dual-wielding, and greatswords. Although specific percentages for the three most popular weapons weren’t disclosed, the data was given as 44.12% for spears, 28.81% for dual-wielding, and 27.07% for greatswords, indicating that spears were nearly twice as common as the other two weapon types combined.
As a devoted admirer, I must say that one of the remarkable systems Valve’s machine excels at emulating is the iconic PlayStation Portable (PSP) by Sony – a device that was always perceived as a trailblazer for its time. The Deck serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of this handheld, demonstrating how relevant it still is today. Although it may not have achieved the same level of popularity as Nintendo’s handhelds, the PSP certainly hinted at an enticing future for portable gaming that Sony unfortunately didn’t fully exploit.
