Looking through my Best Buy Ad for this week, and Defiance isn't even listed in there are being available April 2nd. I haven't seen much advertising for the game, aside from on SyFy Channel, so I was wondering if anyone else saw any sort of advertising taking place for Defiance? It just surprised me a bit that the game isn't even listed in National Weekly Ads to say that it's on sale.
Front page of steam does a lot for it, and i see Defiance banners all over websites I visit, I pretty much have Best Buy on my "Do not care at all" list as far as buying games goes. Gamestop has had it on their websites front page for a good while (my local gamestop has a big defiance poster in the window right now next to Bioshock)
I think its advertising is fine.
I think it's getting a fair amount of coverage on TV, maybe they spent more on that and less on online advertising.
Well, I've seen ads on USA and CN (god, i love that 'welcome to the new age' trailer. It does seem like there haven't been many ads. But some games that have the least amount of info/publicity become one of the best.
Lol I guess people know that nowadays if you hype something up too much and it fails to deliver, things tend to go south.

I think they're relying a lot on word of mouth, and whilst it shouldn't be down to us to promote the game for Trion, I'm quite happy to do so if it gets more people playing Defiance, because for me it's going to be worth it. I loved the beta.
Well, in RO we don't really have gaming ads on TV or anywhere else, but I've seen a lot of advertising on Steam and on multiple websites.
Dude, Best buy is Garbage imo, they need to go away. Amazon Baby. Guaranteed release day delivery as well as gamestop. Hearing Best Biuy is shipping out on release day to consumers. not the best way to do business. and as for the european amazon fiasco it doesnt suprise me since im sure sales were higher then expected.
Little to no advertising here in my area. The majority of my friends that are hardcore gamers to casual gamers haven't ever heard of the game. I think it's personally being under advertised and they wee maybe looking to get more notice out through the TV series on Syfy and customers of the word.
I've seen a few ads for the game on uk tv but they only started recently ( at least to my knowledge anyway )

^^ lmao
I kid you not i pre-ordered last thursday and have been watching beta vids all weekend. So in a strange way im glad i jumped on the bandwagon at the last moment.
To be fair Defiance ads have been the only ads on Diablofans webpage for the last month. I just thought it was another shooter until recently
