Marathon Infinity

Bungie | Released 1996

Back when Bungie was a small studio, due to the popularisation of Doom they attempted a FPS of their own. If you don't know what Marathon is.. well thats a shame.. because one thing Marathon did extremely well, few game developers (even Bungie itself) have managed to match, much less exceed. I am talking, of course, about storytelling.

Bungie published this title but it was developed by Double Aught Studios and was there only title.
Contains a new campaign, three exceedingly challenging "Vidmaster" maps, and also 23 netmaps to bolster's Marathon's multiplayer mode. Perhaps most prominently, the game shipped with Forge, a Marathon map editor, and Anvil, a utility for editing weapons, enemies, textures, sounds, ect.

Marathon Infinity was so named because of these tools, as they were intended to extend the life of the game indefinitely by giving fans access to essentially the same tools Bungie used to make their maps. The importance of Forge and Anvil in this release can be seen in the game's manual, which devotes over half of its length to explaining the proper use of these utilities.

Apr 10 2023 Ale Abbey - In Hops we Trust 3 comments

Intro

Hey there! Welcome to this week's roundup of the YouTube, where we covered a spooky mod of life versus death, and another that touches upon a classic!

Monday - Playthrough - Factum Solus

A key part of the original Portal's atmosphere is its loneliness - and so one of the biggest change ups possible is giving you an ally to solve problems with instead, as in Factum Solus, which sees you joining forces with another human survivor in an effort to break out of the testing centre and get away from the sadistic work of Aperture Science.

Wednesday - Shorts - Ale Abbey - In Hops we Trust

Medieval abbeys are rife with intrigue, the political workings of monks under the guise of religion being the subject of many adventures - but mix it with a cozy atmosphere and some beer brewing, and you've got Ale Abbey, where your biggest problems might be where to source ingredients!

Friday - Playthrough - Apotheosis X

Marathon finds itself right at Bungie's roots, and demonstrates both the gameplay and storytelling chops they'd later bring to Halo. Apotheosis X is a modern Marathon mod, one that pushes Marathon Infinity to its limits aesthetically with engaging combat, new weapons, improved audio, and more that makes this a home-run for fans of classic shooters.

That's all for this round-up. What do you think about the mods listed? Feel free to discuss below and check out the YouTube for more videos past, present, and future!
