Defiance Review [Capsule Computers]

Editor Joe Morgan writes,

"Defiance. It’s rare that such an ambitious project comes along. No, this isn’t a game based on the 2008 historical drama starring Daniel Craig. Defiance was designed as a third-person shooter MMO. Even more impressive is its union with the Syfy channel’s upcoming show of the same name that aims to unite two completely separate forms of media – television and video games. How well does Defiance hold up? Should you join the fight or rise up against it? Let’s find out."

Not bad, I think I might give this a chance. Its an interesting concept that seems executed well enough

ManDemon4032d ago

Yeah, I had my doubts about this when I first heard about it. Certainly seems better than I had feared.

masterabbott4032d ago

I just purchased this .. im going to give this a good go over the weekend!

SolidDuck4032d ago

The game is really good. Ya 7.5 to an 8 is prob what I'd give it. If u u factor in everything, graphics , sound ect... But just in terms of fun and value it's excellent.

Myst4032d ago

Yep I figured this would be where the scores would fall. Still fun can even be quite addictive actually.

Fil1014032d ago

Exactly what i've been saying all along if you can forgive the not so great graphics. The game is a blast playing on your own and an even bigger blast with your buddy's oh yeah and the major arch falls are mental in a good way.

militissanctus4032d ago

The ark falls are CRAZY! 200 people on ATVs rush to an area to take out this HUGE monster!? Love it!

brich2334032d ago

Follow Defiancegame on twitter for news updates and server updates.

militissanctus4032d ago

Yeah, they've been doing a good job of keeping the gamers informed!

brich2334031d ago

But ingame they dont tell us anything. They should tell us in games menus to check thier Twitter page
out.

PS3gamer4life4032d ago

I dont agree i give it a 9/10

militissanctus4032d ago

Hey, it's definitely a TON of fun. I agree with the reviewer, though - there are a few things missing right now.

VeritasJoe4032d ago

9/10? Wow, it's that good? I'm excited for the TV show too!

MysticStrummer4031d ago (Edited 4031d ago )

Everyone has their own scoring system for personal reviews, but I'd definitely score Defiance higher than 7.5. I guess it would depend on what system you play it on, because the 360 has the worst problems so far, while PS3's version is in the best shape. PC is in the middle. I say that based on what I've been reading in the official forums, posted by players and Trion themselves. I'm playing on PS3 and I love it, though I have run into some bugs here and there. The fun factor is through the roof in my opinion, and more than makes up for any problems I've had. I'd say 9 is not out of the question at all. I love the Ark Falls. Seeing multiple players get knocked into the air by a Hellbug Monarch makes me smile every time, even when it happens to me. I think over time the game will improve a lot, performance wise, but it's already one of my favorite gaming experiences this generation. I almost never buy Season Passes but I'm fairly certain I'll be getting this one.

I had a good time with the original Defiance years back, honestly.

Silly gameAr1148d ago

Me too. I remember putting a lot of hours into it before it went free to play. After, it went f2p, I didn't play it near as much, but it makes me nostalgic.

darthv721148d ago

I liked the show and picked up a sealed collectors edition of the 360 game for $5 at a thrift store a couple years ago.

isarai1149d ago

It had a good run honestly, way better than it had any business being, especially for it to be part of a tv series

boing11149d ago

Yeah, I'm surprised it went for so long too. Tried the game but didn't click for me. I liked the TV series, though.

isarai1149d ago

I gave it about a dozen hours, was fun even tho MMOs aren't my thing. But to even keep me around that long is impressive lol

psynetik1231149d ago

Paid $11 for this POS way back and I still felt ripped off

Usually pro has the higher or more stable fps. Hopefully that trend doesn’t happen again this game.

thrust2175d ago

Xbox X a lot more powerful allways the better 3rd party games, The truth hurts 👍

bluefox7552175d ago

@thrust Yeah, the newer, more expensive hardware seems to play games a little better. Shocking, right? Personally, I like 60fps on most games, so I go for the best version, on PC, not X.

RobLoPR2175d ago

@bluefox... so PC is cheaper than Xbox One X?

rdgneoz32175d ago

"allways the better 3rd party games"

Because it has no good first party games since they all get delayed or canned?

Realms2175d ago

@ thrust

No the truth is that a good PC runs circles around the X but some of you constantly try to make it seem like the X is better than PC wrong.

@ RobLoPR

You gotta love the goal posting the argument isn't about price point the argument is where you can get the best performance and the answer is PC. MS fanboys love taunting the power card the only problem is that a good PC can and always will outperform consoles.

iplay1up22175d ago

That is not true. Time and time again the X has been the best platform for 3rd party games. Usually FPS on the X are higher too. Just look at Assassins Creed Origins X compared to Pro Digital Foundry has.

Next Gen it wont matter. I just don't know what Sony and Microsoft are planning for next gen. This is the first MAJOR mid gen upgrade for a console. I just paid $499 for Xbox One X, and Pro is $399. If next gen starts in 2019. What kind of power will the consoles have? What price?BTW, not only does the X have more power than pro, but also a 4K BluRay player. Which Pro doesn't have. That is what makes the X $100 more than pro.

Oh we're talking hardware, because I was going to list some other differences.

nowitzki20042175d ago

I seen an article in gameinformer that MS will be releasing an Xbox One F. $899 with 8% increase over Xbox One X. First time I seen or heard anything about it. Is it true or was it a joke?

AnubisG2175d ago

Never heard of that. Most likely a joke.

nowitzki20042175d ago (Edited 2175d ago )

I didnt have time to read through it, but I really wouldnt be surprised so did not know how to take it lol.

I think its May 2018 issue.. Spiderman on cover.

slavish02175d ago

this is a last gen game it should be 4k60

2175d ago
PS3_Noob2175d ago (Edited 2175d ago )

If X could do 60fps compared to Pro 30fps may be it would matter more. Otherwise both can do well over 1080P which is more than enough. Games is what matters most.
