Defiance pilot episode review - "one of the worst TV shows I have ever seen" - PSU

PSU reviews the pilot of episode of Defiance which ties in with the MMO of the same name.

GamerEuphoria4024d ago

I'm jealous that you've managed to not be espoused to anything on MTV

SolidDuck4024d ago

Haha one of the worst shows ever? The cgi was really bad, but I thought the show was decent. I've seen dozens of worse shows. I think ill continue to watch it.

It is a SyFy show so your expectations of CGI should be brought back down to earth.

I loved Stargate SG-1, but the effects and whatnot were somewhat cheesy, didn't stop it from being a great show.

I still haven't seen this yet..not sure if I want to get into it..

How is the Drama....it isn't predictable is it ? I can't stand when I figure things out 10 minutes in.

Oschino19074024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

It's sorta cliche but has long espisodes (1st was 2hrs) and plenty to take in. I don't watch anything on Syfy but I want to see where this is going storywise as it grabbed my attention enough to want to know more about everything going on. Helps playing the game also as you understand more and it works both ways, you learn/know a little more about both as time goes on.

Some CGI is pretty cheesy but some is also done very well. Sets/locations and characters (make up, wardrobe) look very original and unique also, very indepth for a sci-fi basic cable show IMO. Again nothing amazing but for a series priemere it was impressive and if they do it right could be a worthwhile show.

r214024d ago

I thought the show was ok, not that good, not that bad. CGI looks dated though. I really liked the characters but their names kinda eluded me though. Will keep on watching to see how the show interacts with the game.

SuicidalTendencies4024d ago

It wasn't one of the worse shows I've ever seen but I thought it was crap. I won't be watching any more of the show.

zme-ul4024d ago

Defiance - might be the very 1st time when a game is better than the show/movie :))

Rip-Ridah4024d ago

I may get disagreed for this, but imo, The Walking Dead (Telltale) game's Season 1 was much better than The Walking Dead tv series Season 1. Also, the Chronicles of Riddick game (original Xbox) was FAR better than the movie was. Just a few examples.

bumnut4024d ago

I agree with the Riddick comment, but Walking Dead season 1 was the best imo.

zme-ul4024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

but there's quite a major difference:
Telltale's Walking Dead wasn't made to promote the series, neither did the series promoted the game
other than the name and premise, there's nothing to link it to the TV series

the "official" Walking Dead game was the one published by Activision .. and surprise surprise, it tanked

as for Ridik, I personally hold the movies above the game or at the same level, the game wasn't bad, but had issues
I found it to plasticky, all the people in the game looked like made of wax - in the future, Madame Tussauds turned into a prison and I had to escape it

KaBaW4023d ago

There are a couple of characters in the Telltale game that is in the series.
But, none the less, I do understand what you are implying.

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

Silly gameAr1152d 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.

darthv721152d 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.

isarai1153d 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

boing11153d 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.

isarai1153d 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

psynetik1231153d 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.

thrust2179d ago

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

bluefox7552179d 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.

RobLoPR2179d ago

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

rdgneoz32179d ago

"allways the better 3rd party games"

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

Realms2179d 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.

iplay1up22179d 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.

nowitzki20042179d 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?

AnubisG2179d ago

Never heard of that. Most likely a joke.

nowitzki20042179d ago (Edited 2179d 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.

slavish02179d ago

this is a last gen game it should be 4k60

PS3_Noob2179d ago (Edited 2179d 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.
