DEFIANCE Aims To Change The MMO Landscape As We Know It

"The game is a 3rd-person MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) that is playable across all platforms (PC, XBOX, and PS3) and is the only game this generation to allow cross-play across all the three platforms." - JTM Games

Has there ever been a successful MMO that did any kind of platform cross play?

Kalowest4086d ago

Final Fantasy XI is considered the first "cross-platform MMORPG ever created."

Gazondaily4086d ago (Edited 4086d ago )

Is it me or does every developer in the Defiance World and Weapons trailer look like a different race from the Elder Scroll games?

The game looks incredible. True cross-play so 360 players can get to play with PS3 users?

creamydingle4086d ago

Yer thats what i want to know if it is true cross play because i highly doubt microsoft would allow cross play with ps3 users how would cross game chat work then?

Statix4086d ago

How would cross game chat work then? Simple: No cross game voice chat for PS3 users. I don't get what you're confused about.

creamydingle4086d ago

What I was asking Statix is if a ps3 user and a 360 user were playing together and talking together would on the 360 side people from other games be able to join the chat like normal or would it lock the chat room because there was a ps3 player in there. I dont understand how my question could confuse you we all no the ps3 dosent have cross game chat. But it doesnt matter anyway the article is wrong the game doesnt support cross game play between ps3 and 360 users.

MysticStrummer4086d ago

There is no cross platform play.

DeadlyFire4086d ago (Edited 4086d ago )

Its simple how it works. Both game sides log you into Trion Worlds account service. You log in to it and then you are both inside the same server/world.

PS3 is logged into PS3 servers and X360 is logged into X360 servers

However if Defiance logs you into Trion worlds account on PS3 and on X360 it logs you into Trions worlds account then you are in the same server after that. So how is that complicated?

The game itself would have to have its own communication service for you to chat. Instead of standard way it would use a different method.

As far as the final game goes Microsoft won't be allowing X360 to have this feature if it comes. Although would that prevent PS3/PC players from playing together? Right now they have it working with X360, PS3, and PC players, but Microsoft is so scared of it that they won't let it happen again. Just like with other MMOs that wanted to do the same thing, but canned the X360 version because Microsoft said no to supporting it.

Deadlyfire that's because of security risks that MS, I'm sure, doesn't want to put itself through, lol. There has been a lot of egg in companies faces concerning such a thing ; )

I was pretty sure that they canned the cross-platform play (pc vs xbox vs ps3 players).

Either way, this game has had like no advertising. Most people I know have not heard of it. Also, is the show only in the U.S? I live in Australia, and plan on watching it online if I have to. The game looks pretty sweet.

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.

isarai1148d 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

boing11148d 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.

isarai1148d 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

psynetik1231148d 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 👍

bluefox7552174d 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.

RobLoPR2174d ago

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

rdgneoz32174d ago

"allways the better 3rd party games"

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

Realms2174d 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.

iplay1up22174d 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.

slavish02174d ago

this is a last gen game it should be 4k60

PS3_Noob2174d ago (Edited 2174d 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.
