Syfy channel and Trion Worlds are combining to make a new mmo. Not only will it be a FPS, but the game world is going to affected by the TV show and the other way around as well.
I'd love it if the show opened with a shot of someone bunny hopping across a battlefield to teabag a freshly killed enemy. If it doesn't then it's obviously not realistic.
I'm getting a very strong Global Agenda vibe from this. Not necessarily a bad thing except that Global Agenda already exists and its free.
Honestly, it looks good. Now interested in hearing about details at E3.
Sounded like a PR pitch. Don't tell it its 'exciting' or 'ground breaking' or 'fillinanyofthemanysuperlativestheyoverused'.
Show me.
Oh, and rapid clip transitions doesn't convey the point with any impact. It just forces me to hammer the pause button and squint at the blurry image.
I'm signed up and waiting for an email.
Downloading now!
They were not kidding about the stress test. Man it is laggy. But I'm liking it so far despite that.
Anyone looking for an invite to this weekends beta could try http://www.defiancejunkies.com/2013/01/14/defiance-beta-giveaway-come-and-get-em/
That one just went live.
Played a few hours of the beta and enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure there was an NDA in there so I don't want to say too much.
They announced today that the game will be normal retail price ($60) and have no subscription fee. http://defiance.com/preorder
I didn't put much time into it. Didn't get past the typical MMO tropes. Looking forward to PvP and the event/story systems, which we may not see in the beta.
There was a PvP section this last weekend but I was not online when it happened. Hopefully they run some more of them though.
Definitely interested in this game. Might throw down the $5 for preorder blindly without even playing it. I had a key for the last beta weekend but wasted the weekend playing Cards Against Humanity and Munchkin.
The weekend was not wasted
While the subset available during this last weekend was pretty limited, what it had was playable, enjoyable and a good base for an MMO. The PvP I did was also limited, but decent, with all the predictable problems. Why are game developers addicted to repeating the errors of the past?
Jeez, I was hoping there would be a discount for a digital only copy. Guess not. $59.99 no matter how you look at it.
What platform is everyone thinking they will get it n (assuming you are thinking of buying)? I was leaning towards Xbox 360 since that is where I generally game but it seems like most others are thinking PC.

Sure thing. Release details were announced today:

Got a beta invite, tried to log in. Nope. Servers aren't available or something. I got to see part of a cutscene though, so... yay?
Servers were down for a while as the made some changes but they are back up now I believe.

Nope. Just tried, still not available.
I tried it a little on Friday, but it was on a laptop with no mouse so definitely did not get a good feel for it. I was hoping to play some on my desktop today (Sunday) but it was not in the cards. My Alien character looked pretty badass though!
