So I am a loyal defiance player who has recently pre-ordered the Xbox One and have recently realized that it is not backwards compatible. Gasp! No defiance! So I thought I should ask. Are you guys gonna do an Xbox One version of the game, and if so when can I buy it?
They dont even have a working version for the 360...
lol, ok you gotta point there, but I would like a semi-functioning version at least....
why?
Look at the new gen games this one might have looked good 10 years ago. Plus the new gen consoles would be a waste with this game. They said they would release on xboxone but as usual I doubt it. They can have a new game ready for november but still no DLC and while they are releasing 4 more and fixing the xbox360 version.. Do they think people really believe it?
For those who ask this question constantly: You're aware this game is multi platform and is available on PC? The platform which this game will run as normal on even when next gens come into the picture.Quote:

In regards to other games similar to it though the game will have fair competition on the X1, that's for sure.
I think many of the issues with this game come for being a bit too ambitious. Three different platforms are a bit much to keep up with and have their own issues. I mean remember how long it took for Ps3 to get any of the Skyrim DLC? The only issues I have so far after the initial install/patch nightmare is lag at Arkfalls. I never expected perfection or even close to it from any game, I played NWN after it had been out for a couple of years and they still were fixing issues left and right. I honestly think it will last on the 360 for a while mainly because I think Microsoft is greedy enough to keep supporting it until the new system really takes off.
So far I have yet to find anything that completely confirms either way if it will or not go onto next gen. But so far the articles with Trion people I have found say that it should be coming out on next gen. But the main issue will be they may not even carry all our characters over to the next gen servers even though everything is server based, but even that was only a possibility and has not been answered thoroughly. So all we can do is wait and see if they actually do it. It would greatly kill their own game if they do not put it on next gen though
I have a strong feeling if its released for xb one, it will be a downloadable 360 port for purchase on xblive. Not a fully revamped next gen game.
Unfortunately that may end up being the case. Would be extremely silly even business wise not to put it on the next gen. But they seem to be being secretive about anything to do with Defiance, and seems more so then Bioware are with their games too
They don't need XB1 to kill off this game. They did that on their own with these HORRENDOUS servers. I can't even get past the main menue 90% of the time. When i do i can't do arkfalls because we all end up at a stand still. Worst servers i have ever seen. Idk how this crap made it past beta but i'm done with it. Since 1999 never have i seen such terrible servers!
