Trion Worlds explains how Defiance will 'co-evolve' in two mediums

[zenith16]

hmm with the amount of hard drive space it takes up, maybe save for the ps4 if your going to bother with that system. they might even to port it there too. but we'll see. it has to do well at launch too. we'll what happens

Yeah ok, except I'm not buying a PS4 on launch. And probably won't be getting one for at least a year or more after it is released. Upgrading my PS3 hard-drive is something that I've been needed to do anyway.

And it looks like Defiance doesn't take up that much space anyways.

[zenith16]

yeah that's why I said it has to do well at launch too. So you should do what you want. even though I said you may want to save it for the ps4. but that is too long a wait and that thing need it's audience when it launches. Also if trion is ever going to do or finish up that Farscape MMO, they want this to be a hit first.

Video games and TV shows co-evolving? I highly doubt they're going to be able to pull this off. TV shows can work and produce things much faster than video game developers can program. I think at some point the two will diverge and only barely reference the other.

[The Squirrel]

The first season has been in the bag for awhile now. So Trion has time to update the game as the season progresses.

The game and the tv show are set in two completely different areas of the planet, the game is based in San Fransisco and the TV show is based in...I can't remember. Atlanta? I forget lol. But that question was raised how they would keep up with the tv show and how it would not interefere with one another as far as the story lines go. So the game is kind of it's own thing.

they did indeed say this they said that some events they will showcase in game , but will be reference in the show and vice versa. But will not be too intrusive on each other besides that. and the main characters will make cameo's in the game . the only concern here is how syfy has a habit of running it's shows. They(the shows) don't have a long life span any more cause of what they do. Some producer get's fickle or the show it's self becomes expensive to run and then the shows dies faster then any one would have expected.

That's the only worrisome problem here.. so I wonder if they have plans in place in case Syfy does their usual bad habit, as far as their shows are involved?

[Destructus86]

When I first bought the game I was bummed out...I thought I had wasted $60. But based on all the major updates they plan to do this month I feel a lot better about the purchase.

[The Squirrel]

I can't believe that they are going to delete story missions when the show starts to air. That makes no sense for any future new players.

[tard_kart]

I think they are only deleting "episode missions".

[zenith16]

They might bring them back who knows, but they need some story for the MMO it's self. So I don't think it'll be too much of an issue it'll come back in some form or another.

Syfy is patting itself on the back for what was apparently a very successful Defiance series premiere. The new drama debuted last night with a feature-length pilot that set the stage for the series' regular Monday night time slot in the U.S.

Syfy says the premiere was its most-watched scripted show among adults aged 18 to 49 since the 2006 premiere of Eureka. Defiance also drew 2.7 million total viewers, which was good enough for first place over 2009's Warehouse 13.

Trion's Defiance shooter MMO has seen players rack up more than 6 million hours of gameplay since its April 2nd debut.

Has anyone watched the TV show & if so any good? I'd be interested but is it solely an MMO?

[zenith16]

the show's good and it's doing well so far but syfy has this habit of screwing over their shows even if they are high rated and they cancel them faster when you think they are doing well ether cause of it becoming too expensive for t them to continue or the net work producers actin stupid and just making sure the shows cancelled some how. Of most recent the X men like Alpha's is an example of this . I don't Expect the show to run long out of eventually one of those thing's will happen. I hope they have a contingency plan to have the story running through the game some how if syfy does it's usual fickle habit.
