I'm slightly confused about this game.

Thanks for the reply, I hope the Xbox version will be just like the PC version. The thought of having a MMO on console is so exciting lol

you know this isnt the first mmo on a console right? DC online off the top of my head is an mmo on ps3.

also from the live streams im sure they said (again no offical numbers on this) but there will be litrally be a ton of people (my guess is 1,000's)

its def a Massive Multiplayer Online game, MMO. But its NOT A MMO-RPG. So a lot of the elements from traditional mmorpgs will not be there. Its a MMOTPS, think ME3 multiplayer and your close, with a dash of Borderlands.

I was watching some beta footage of the game, and I'm hearing that the game is a Third person MMO. I reserved my copy for Xbox already because I love the idea of having an MMO on Xbox. But some people are saying that its an MMO style world, but you play alone. Does this game have the same concept of WoW where you just jump-in/log-in to the game and you will see other players doing missions and stuff. Or is it the type of game where you can play singleplayer, but you have to like queue up to PvP and PvE with other people.. I really hope its something like WoW or atleast something along the lines of it. There are people trying to make guilds and stuff on the Xbox so, I'm guessing it really is an open-world MMO? This may sound like a dumb question, but there isnt a lot of info about the game out yet and I just need some confirmation. Thanks.

Allot of your questions can be answered by watching the live streams. http://www.twitch.tv/trionworlds

Defiance stuff usually starts in the last hour of their 4 hour streams. This saves me the hassle of talking about things I may not be able to talk about but is known...I hate NDA's, such rubbish. Devs go talking about stuff but the NDA prevents us from talking about the stuff they talked about....blah...rubbish.

just found this for anyone still in doubt about how many players pur server will exist

"An Evolving Online World

Fight for survival in a constantly evolving environment with regular content updates and dynamic events. Play solo, or join tens of thousands of simultaneous live players in a futuristic San Francisco Bay Area that’s a fully-realized open world. You’ve never imagined a 3rd-person shooter this huge. "

We also have coop instances and competitive multiplayer style matches that you can hop in to.

The best way to think about Defiance is an open world third person shooter with some elements borrowed from other genres.

I think the best way to think about Defiance is that's it is chock full of PURE UNADULTERATED AWESOME!

You know, if you're into that sort of thing.

Otherwise yeah, a bit of Mass Effect, a bit of Borderlands, but still very much an MMO.

No no no no you got it all wrong...

It's an MMOTYOPBY

(massive multiplayer online that you only play by yourself)

Get it right people!!

If working with other online games has taught me anything its don't call the network infrastructure guys anything like "gods", it'll just go to their heads and before long they start getting all sorts of ideas for world domination.
