Personally I think PC will. Sadly I think the Xbox playerbase will be decent at first but die down quicker than PC. (I want to get it for Xbox but not if there aren't as many players as PC)

I feel the same way. Im so happy that there is finally an mmo for xbox so my gut tells me a ton of people will get it but yea it might die down sooner. I just cant be hunched over my computer with no controller it just isnt my style of gaming. But if the servers are good and it dosnt lag badly for xbox that will keep alot of players playing and if this could get as much advertising as the **** games like cod then plenty of people will get it
PC will have the most, followed by xbox, then ps3. But I think xbox will be first to die.
why don't you setup your computer with a controller? I also agree it is going to go PC Xbox than PS.Quote:

Im a PCer. Large monitor, 5.1 surround sound, nice comfy chair and a place to rest my beer, my beer, my beer and my bourbon. And my beer.
That's a very stereotypical view, Every platform including pc has its fair share of kids that's just how it is.Quote:

PC > Xbox360 > PS3
pc-xbox-ps3
Depends on how they market this, I think consoles could be biggest but PC players are easier to reach. PC MMO fans are right around the corner, if you know what I mean. Hopefully TW gets huge population for consoles, thats where the big money is.
What IM saying that console players could probaly stick with this longer. PC guys hop on next game as it comes.
But that's the exact opposite of what happens.Quote:

Consoles will have different generations with no backwards compatibility and the bulk of their user base will jump on the next game that had better advertising than the one they played before.
I'd have to agree with you on this one. With that being said, I believe both PS3 and Xbox will have an enormous start to the game, simply because there isn't anything like it, but as soon as new systems start dropping, people will move on. I personally hope not, but thats just the nature of the beast.Quote:

Bourbon & Rum.
About the playerbase:
I'm quite certain that Defiance will be picked up by huge bunch of console gamers since there is nothing comparable on the market yet; but in the end the PC gamers will prevail.
lol if the new consoles are 400+ bucks and the economy the way it is youd be insane to think 90% of ps3 (or 360) players are gonna jump to the new console on day one... maybe by the end of 2014 sure.. but until then Defiance has at least a good 1 1/2 in itQuote:

Also why do ppl say xbox will be the second biggest but die first? why would the second biggest die before the 3rd lowest (ps3)? >.>
MMOs tend to be more popular in PC's. However the game almost begs to be played on a console. That said, people should be hoping that the game does well all around, regardless of the platform. Let's be civil about this.
well if this board is any reference theres probably like 5 ppl total getting it on ps3 while theres 100 for xbox and 100 for pc lol so PS3 is lookin kinda bleak lolQuote:

Well just because consoles have generations, that does not mean that Trion Worlds will not update the game for future consoles but I do agree PCs seem to be more stable with MMOs because PC's do noth ave generations, just upgrades and OS upgrades.
PC for sure.

I think Xbox has a good chance, especially if Trion can get ad/featured space on the dashboard. I know a lot of indie games pick up people that way.
As far as longevity, I think there a people still playing COD: World at War. So as long as it's good...
Uhm, obviously you haven't seen the recruitment thread for Corruption. The PS3 has more of a following than people think.Quote:

Sure, there are kids on all platforms, but games like CoD, Halo and Battlefield seem to always have a few screaming preteens in a lobby. Out of the consoles, PS3 has the more mature community. I've ran into some of those annoying kids on PS3, but not near as many. Some of the kids I've met on PS3 have actually been pretty mature.
On topic: I hope this game fares well on all platforms. I've been spreading the word to my PS3 friends about it, in hopes to see more population on launch day. Sadly PC and X-Box 360 will have the higher player base, because they are more popular.

Just a possibility, I am not a programmer or game designer so I have no idea how much time and effort it would take for them to bring Defiance say from the PS3 to the PS4 nor do I really know what they would do in that situation but I would think they have some idea because they are making the game for these consoles and they, along with all of us, are hearing rumors about the next gen consoles that MIGHT be announced this year.
Not as long as you would think, the Pc version will be the baseline(im guessing), xbox/ps3 they would simply needed to reduce the quility of the game for it to work on them, then when the next gens hit they can just simply add a patch for the ones who have the next gens to download and be on par with or possibly still alittle under pc performance.Quote:

Well if they're using the pc as baseline, then they wouldn't have to do much for the next gens thats only saying if the next gens can handle the Pc performance so baiscly the same amount of work now, give or take codeing changes so both should recive the same amount of love, least they should anyway it would be daft to ignore them

Most deffo but problem with Pc gamers, including myself, tend to jump ships and play the next mmo that or go back to the mmo that must not be named :> i honestly think consoles will be the bigger populations after some time since they have nothing like this aboutQuote:

True, I tend to try lots of games and buy them if they're good enough. ^_^ So far, Trion never ever disappointed me. They make good games.Quote:

lol opinion? umm the definition of quality is a fact not an opinion, its also a fact that graphics arent the ONLY determining factor of quality. You can shine up **** all you want but in the end that wouldnt stop it from being ****.Quote:

I mean I personally think WoW looks like crap.. yet from the money its making and number of people playing (not to mention its reviews) it must be a LOT better than it looks, whereas final fantasy XIV is the best looking MMORPG out there... and well look how badly that bombed.
Of course, but PC will always have the best graphics. =) I still play with my SNES today and still loving it!Quote:
