FleshEatingZipper writes: When you think about it, six million hours of gameplay sure sounds like a lot of time. That’s the figure announced by Syfy and Trion Worlds in a joint press release (that I’ve included below) on how many gameplay hours had been invested into Defiance, the game half of the multimedia hybrid that’s also a show on the aforementioned network, but when you break it down, it doesn’t really seem like much.
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.
Wait why did you compare Defiance a new type of game that had no legs behind it to Halo 4 that had a couple behind it?
The running theme in the article seemed to be that the game should have sold more because of heavy marketing, so apparently publishers (or maybe journalists) haven't realized that marketing just gives exposure to a game. I personally wasn't excited at all for the game, and heavy marketing isn't going to change my mind. Just like very little marketing doesn't make me like a game less. Obviously people just weren't intyerested in your product, or maybe they just spent their $ on something else, planning to buy Defiance later when all the bugs have been worked out. Plus, MMOs are more of a PC market, I don't think there's many gamers who care about MMOs. Does anyone know how well Dragon Quest X is doing? Is it even available outside of Japan yet?
It's a bit boring after a while, just jump around with RT held down and you're golden.
Plus levelling is meaningless. Overall it's just not a very good game.
I keep hearing how well marketed this game was, yet I didn't even know about it until the beta released for PS Plus. I didn't know it was a show until after the game released and a review mentioned it.
Game was fun, I'd love to play it. Not for 60 dollars though because I saw this coming a mile away. Any game focused online needs players to be good, and counting on others to play something other than COD is a pain.
Watched the show and it sucked, but its on Sci-fi so didn't expect much to begin with.
Maybe because Fallen Earth has been out for a couple of years and we don't need a watered-down version of it?
