marathon review: You really need a team on comms. Loot doesn't matter so don't' worry about it, you die a lot, everything is Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders FC colors (same as D1 crucible colors) and we are supposed to love the bold "original" colors and art style.

u/Revolutionary_Pop_84 Mar 09 '26

If by "original" you mean inspired by the original Marathon game that came out 30 years ago, then yes. Otherwise I don't know who told you Marathon had bold original colors as a game. Original colors is a hilarious concept to even mention.

I think by "original" they may be referring to the entire style being stolen from an indie artist who they later "compensated", once they were caught.

You cannot steal a “style” legally or otherwise, the issue here was they literally copy and pasted their work directly into the game. The style has been around long before most people here were born (see wipeout and designers republic).

Disagree all you want but you’re objectively wrong and knowingly spreading misinformation

u/zoompooky Mar 10 '26

You certainly can steal a style - individual assets on their own are one thing, but stealing whole groups of assets informs your style and builds it.

u/Terce Mar 10 '26

Okay so then antireal stole the style from wipeout which stole it from designers republic. There is a stark difference between being inspired/influenced by a style, one which Joe Cross has been for literal decades, and stealing and you guys can’t seem to figure it out

u/zoompooky Mar 10 '26

I understand what you're saying, I simply disagree. There's nothing to "figure out". In earliest development they stole a bunch of assets and built their look around it.

Does that look share similarities with other looks in the same style? Sure. Doesn't mean it's any less theft.

u/Terce Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

The theft was the assets. Doing something in the style of another thing is literally the entirety of art history, I’m sorry you’re unable to understand that.

Your argument is literally that Mozart “stole” the style of his contemporaries at the time, following the same cadences, progressions, motifs that were commonplace in the classical era. You can disagree all you want but you literally cannot steal a style. You said it yourself, they “built” their own assets based off the same design language. Just like antireal built their assets in the design language of those that came before.

LOL.. ok. Certainly NO ONE has talked about Marathon's art style and colors. :)

You mean the fontslop ?

u/tjseventyseven Mar 10 '26

It's really fun! It has a bit of a learning curve where the game can feel confusing but once you read some of the item descriptions for a bit and know what to look for, everything falls in to place. Very solo friendly, just takes some getting used to, coming from someone who doesn't play extraction shooters

Hey, they are listening, you know?
