The Future of Defiance and Xbox One

Personally I miss game consoles designed specifically around......playing games.
Those extra points are nice and all. But they're gonna amp up the cost some.
I still remember the issues with the first run PS2's. The lasers were weak. When you played a DVD it would overhead the laser to play it. They fixed it later......but it really hit the life of the hardware for those first run models.
That's why those old cartridge consoles did their jobs well.

I really don't see Defiance porting over to the X1. There would still be nuances to tweak. They already have 3 consoles to worry about it working for. Besides.......a popular release of the next gen consoles is still far away. After they hit the market people won't get rid of what they currently have. It will slowly dwindle just like how the PS1 switched to PS2 then to PS3.

Crap.....most people will even wait a few months after release before they consider buying it.......even more so for current 360 owners.

I hope Trion has a plan on future developments of Defiance on next gen. console, but the layoffs really don't show much hope for that.

The Xbox one reveal was nothing more than Microsoft showing the system, its specs, and its features. it can play games (i hope) but can also do so much more (Cable Box). I like the features, but what is the price for it all? I know both systems are not backwards compatible and are trying to eliminate used games by requiring installs. But really, E3 will tell us more about each system than yesterday's shtako and the PlayStation event ever will.

Not true. Compared to other MMO's the requirements are quite high. They're higher than Guild Wars 2 for example, and World of Warcraft, and Planetside 2. It's why I chose to buy it on Xbox360, and why it's sold more on 360 than PC.

Why? Destiny isn't an MMO. I won't personally forget about Defiance. I already own over one xbox game :p

All id really like to see is, if we buy a version of defiance for the said X1 that we can still log into our already up and running acounts. I mean surly its just like buying a new graphics card for your pc. You still play the same WOW but it looks even better?

And I went from Friday to monday without logging onto my xbox. Now if it has to make a daily check and it shuts down if can't connect; I not getting it. My internet connection get spotty when the cable company does maintenance it the city.
Also my parents could watch all their cable tv thru their vcr. They just had to remember which channel to turn the tv to before turning on the vcr. So XB1 has the same function as 2005 vcr.

I thought it sold more on PC.

I swear people were making a big deal about this long ago when referring to how the patching system works.

me i don't pc game, i have a average laptop that doesn't like games all that much and no comfortable setup, personally i think it worth sacrificing a bit of graphical fidelity for the comfort of the sofa and low machine cost (compared to gaming pcs).

Geez, if I received a dime everytime that I heard a proclamation like this, I wouldn't have to work anymore.

Also, very soon, the 360 will launch a pseudo XB1 dashboard. This is to prepare you for the transition to the XB1. It won't have all the functionality of course, but will look much like and in some cases behave like the XB1 dashboard.

So prepare yourselves folks, roughly 11 months from now all 360 games will only be LAN if you want to game with others (beyond multiple people on one console).

Still PLENTY of time though to have fun in Defiance.

You are WAY off on all accounts. EA has said they will continue to support the 360 until at least 2017 and Microsoft has confirmed they will support the 360 for many years. With the high install base they have right now they would be foolish to not. They also have a BIG 360 announcement coming up at E3 which they would not be doing if they were going to suddenly pull the plug as you are trying to implicate.

The Live service for the original Xbox was not cut until 4.5 years into the 360's life cycle, not 3 months you idjit. They even left the Halo 2 servers up for about an additional month since people were still actively playing it, then gave the last guy playing it some kind of bonus/award for his dedication. The lack of BC in the current system is further proof they plan on supporting the 360 for quite a few more years as initial uptake on the One will probably be slow, especially if some of the still lingering rumors that Microsoft danced around or ignored come to be true.

With the vs of the xbox1, the operating system (basicly a modified copy of windows 8) the architecture of the system itself. It wouldn't take much to port the PC version of defiance to the Xbox one (which is a dumb and for the system imo)

Which is the only smart thing that PS and Xbox have done with this new Gen. Make their systems more PC like so porting of apps, games and anything else will be simple the only problem I see is them with this route is the marketplace for both systems becoming like the apple app store. Few bucks for everything. They are going to try to Nicole and dime every one of us to death more then they currently do.

Here is the reason why. Production cost. Game company's now days if they make a multiplatform game have to have a Xbox team, ps team and PC team.... 3teams for one game.... You just tripled production costs. By making the systems more PC like the lowered production costs means they can give you more game for your money. Now if they choose to do so that's another matter. Means less companies going out of business, which for the gaming industry is a good thing. Your more likely to see gaming companies take a chance on a game that is new a refreshing. Compared with this current hey play it safe give them same of old to make sure it sells.

This will be beneficial to the gaming industry as a whole by making these games easier to make.

Except this (being a Bungie planned shooter/MMO) PLUS the release of a next gen console would have netted you about 20 cents and only happens once every about what...8 years?

Taken on its own, I wouldn't proclaim Destiny the greatest but add in the PS4 or Xbox One.....
