The result of this mad experiment was Defiance, a third-person shooter in MMO guise.
But I’m worried that Defiance is hurting Defiance."
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.
On a slightly off-topic note I've still not yet managed to hunt down a legendary weapon, though I may not be a high enough EGO rating to find any, I suppose.
Mind you, I've heard people who do have them say they're not worth the time it took to get hold of them. Can anyone on here offer up an opinion?
Back on topic a little, I do like this weeks episode tie-in. it feels like the first proper crossover we've had, even if the mission itself is still dull.
I don't agree totally with the author, but even he admits to being too harsh.The game takes a lot of resources including time to make changes. This is not like a show where you just change a script mid scene. I think the game will get better because Trion is behind it. This is one MMO where I am not yawning 10 minutes after starting because it can be HARD. If they would only make the death penalty harsher, I would be happier! But I like the game and show!
It was a pretty massive endeavor, and isn't great. Show uses a ton of resources and, unfortunately, is just kind of mediocre. I have the feeling that if the show was a web series instead of a cable broadcast, it would probably do a lot better and be more easily forgiven for not being amazing. Defiance has so many amazing shows to compete with right now, someone coming from watching GoT would be super disappointed (even though GoT is a high standard).
Game of Thrones
Edit: post went wrong this was a respone to MilkMan.
The only reason I watch the Defiance tv show is because I play the game. Normally, I don't watch tv at all and I watch full episodes of the show on syfy web site.
