"Here it is, that fabled beast, a creature so rare and endangered it's almost mythical: the server-based, massively multiplayer console game. "Nobody has really cracked that nut," agrees executive producer Nathan Richardsson. The Icelander was previously a key executive at Eve Online studio CCP"

WTB First-Person perspective.

Agreed. FPS should beFirstPerson. This look like it could be a lot of fun. I think Trion hit pretty close to the mark with Rift, and this seems like it could amp up the fun factor.

Dear Trion, please steal the all access pass concept from SOE. That is all.

I'd rather them turn RIFT & Defiance into buy-to-play with a cash shop (GW2 style). It makes it much easier to stay engaged in an MMO when you don't have to sub/unsub/resub, but rather play as you will (particularly with so many games competing for attention right now).

Defiance is live streaming in like 10 minutes.

Watched the livestream, and all in all I'm surprised at how good it looks. Like the emphasis on lateral rather than vertical progression. Looks like solid gameplay all around, however, and they kind of dodged the question here, how the fuck will it tie into the show exactly? Can't find too much info on that, and honestly the tie-in looks weak (redo the same content over and over for new rewards is the only answer I could find).

After trying PS2 I will give this a shot.

SyFY channel had an 20th anniversary show on the other day. They covered defiance at the very end. The said that the show will take place in st. louis and the game will be in san fran. They gave an example of a train leaving st. louis on the show and arriving in the game world. Stuff like that.

Trion has revealed that its first beta event for the upcoming open-world shooter Defiance will take place from January 18th through the 20th. The shindig will be PC-only (Defiance will release in April on both consoles and personal computers).

Advanced Beta Mission 1 will see players transported to a futuristic San Francisco Bay area where they will take on the role of an ark hunter. Ark hunters are genetically enhanced individuals described by Trion as "part treasure hunter, part mercenary." The beta will feature full access to Defiance's tutorial, Mt. Tam, the Waterfront competitive multiplayer map, and the Shadow War and Arkfall open-world boss battles.

Trion is now accepting beta signups.

New Co-Op video.

I posted on the Tv show forums, Brand New Defiance Trailer for tv show all.

Looks awesome, has firefly,farscape vipe.

2 hour premiere for the tv show in April.

The game certainly has a Planetside / Borderlands look to it and the trailer for the show looked like it might have promise.

I hope this is cool but any involvement of SyFy has me scared. Sad because SciFi seemed to do no wrong in the early years (Farscape, Stargate, etc)
