Hardcore Gamer: A lot is riding on Defiance. For starters, it’s the first video game to partner with a television series to deliver a seamless, interconnecting experience in which what happens in the game world impacts the TV show, and vice-versa. This is a big deal for gaming in a broad sense, as not only does it have a chance to legitimize our form of entertainment as a viable kind of storytelling media, but also demonstrates the nigh limitless possibilities of fan interaction when it comes to being a part of their favorite make-believe world. Outside of this joint venture with television giant SyFy, though, this is also developer Trion’s third game to date.
After 8 years of Defiance and 3 years of Defiance 2050, both titles are being sunsetted on April 29, 2021.
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.
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.
It had a good run honestly, way better than it had any business being, especially for it to be part of a tv series
gamigo confirmed that it has acquired major assets from Trion Worlds, known for online and console MMO games such as Rift, Defiance, Trove and ArcheAge.
"Making sure to accommodate the 4K resolution is both a benefit and a hurdle with game development," says Defiance dev.
Usually pro has the higher or more stable fps. Hopefully that trend doesn’t happen again this game.
@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.
"allways the better 3rd party games"
Because it has no good first party games since they all get delayed or canned?
@ 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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Been playing this a little bit and it's just right there, a few more pushes and it could be something great.
Needs work to get it over the top! If it was an Alpha I would be impressed but it's a dam $60 game and luckily I'm playing someone else's wasted cash.
It all depends on Dev support and if they got plans to push Defience further along than what it already is cause the potential is there.
One major concern, it's a multiplat so I doubt any support will be given.
I give it a 9
I would give it a 8 as it has already eaten many hours of my life,but it does get a bit of lag now and again on the ark fall scenarios on xbox,if they keep making adjustments it might turn out to be one of my favourite games of the year.The graphics are ok for the size of it dont forget this is a first for consoles and its very addictive and fun to play.
