Serious question:

Is 1mil users a decent number for an MMO that's out for three platforms?

I'm not sure if this is just spin or if those are actually good numbers and people are getting excited for the game.

Edit: After researching a little, it seems that even today, 1mil is still pretty nice. Thought the game would fail. Good for them.

Skate-AK4009d ago

Depends on how you look at it. Homefront was not very good and it still sold 2+ million.

zme-ul4009d ago

huh?!
"successful TV debut" my arse

Axonometri4009d ago

It has nothing to so with the game being fun! No! It is because the show is successful. No I didn't read the article, the headline was enough for me.

Heisenburger4009d ago

People who saw and liked the show went out and purchased the game, which is fun.

I don't see the problem.

" No I didn't read the article.."

But then again, maybe I do.

SolidDuck4009d ago

Well 1 mil is not great, but I think word of mouth is spreading that while not technically a very good game, it is very fun and how many mmo options are there on consoles.

FamilyGuy4009d ago

1 million can be great, it all depends on how much it cost to actually make and support this game.

It doesn't seem super high in production value so there's a good chance they've turned a significant profit already.

In addition to that, as long as the show is doing okay it'll keep bringing in more people that gain an interest in the game. Every episode is an hour long advertisement for the game.

bluegreenman4009d ago

Fine then, you go make a video game that reaches 1 million users.

r214009d ago

IMO if they made this game free to play on consoles, they'd probably have more by now.

Skate-AK4009d ago

Well is kinda is for an MMO. All you have to buy is the game. No subscription fees. Would you rather it be free with subscriptions like DC Universe?

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

Silly gameAr1154d 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.

darthv721154d 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.

isarai1154d 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

boing11154d 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.

isarai1154d 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

psynetik1231154d 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.

thrust2181d ago

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

bluefox7552181d 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.

RobLoPR2181d ago

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

rdgneoz32181d ago

"allways the better 3rd party games"

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

Realms2181d 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.

iplay1up22181d 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.

nowitzki20042181d 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?

AnubisG2181d ago

Never heard of that. Most likely a joke.

nowitzki20042181d ago (Edited 2181d 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.

slavish02181d ago

this is a last gen game it should be 4k60

PS3_Noob2181d ago (Edited 2181d 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.
