So where is our fantastic new content?

scroll to the top of the page .. first post

The first post on this page is referring to the maximum number of friends a person can have on the PSN network, it says nothing about it having anything to do with the size of the installation. I am asking for your source that consoles cannot exceed a 15gb installation.

Seems like if they say 15 gig system requirement, then that's pretty much what it is right?

As I recall, when the game first came out, it said "Atleast 10 gigs free". So it can change again.

[DrTogobban]

that's the only reference I can find to anything regarding any sort of cap, but it also says "at least", and with any sort of MMO it's expected that the requirements would change over time anyway.

The last couple of missions in the Defiantfew website flash game mentioned further story content in regards to Von Bach and the bad guy in the flash game showing up in the game.

However those were before the finale and the fact remains, we never really got cross over content for the entire second half of the show.

So the flash game states that we should've gotten content already, and so did the show (Indogene Kenya), but Trion states the next update is at the end of September so who knows what's going on anymore, the game is clearly no longer in sync with the show or any other content and hasn't been for a while. So what is actually going on with content is anyone's guess at this point.

Trion being hush hush until the last minute never helps either.

There was also supposed to be stuff about Kenya in the game..

The free disk space required is twice the size of the actual game content. So if you download a 5 GB game, you'll need at least 10 GB free space on your disk. (The link points to a PS3 page, but the free space requirement is pretty much universal, you need to download the files and store them before the console can uncompress and install the game so it's more or less: download size + actual installation size) Source ("Note" at the bottom of the page)

BTW the use of the words "fantastic new content" might be sarcasm ........

I still recall the hype about silicon valley. We were promised a new land mass forever. When it finally came out it was....yeah. Defiance track record with DLC, and "new content"....ah....just don't get your hopes up too high.

[Cavadus]

Can't be any worse than the 7th Legion DLC, at least.

"Hey guys, we took two pieces of content already in the game (sieges and roadside emergencies) and vaguely tied them together without any context. Oh, and you can get a samurai outfit from a lockbox. NOW GIVE US YOUR MONEY!!!!!111~!!!11one!!!"

At any rate, it's just going be some missions made out of recycled content and some boring weapon re-skins. They have no budget or drive left to add anything of value to the game.

They can't even manage to pump out outfits on a regular basis. A few get tossed into the store and the very few others are stuffed into lockboxes because they think lockboxes are the key to mega-riches

I mentioned that in my comment. Learn to read of my god!
Geez! Let's not read anything constructive, let's keep complaining about size limitations!

:P

So anyways, yes, from defiantfew.com and the show we should have gotten.

1. A cross-over with the Kenya clone: Week 9 of the show (Aug 14th)
2. More story content regarding Von Bach: Mission 10 description on defiantfew.com. Week 10 of the show (Aug 21st)
3. Cross-over content from the defiancefew flash game: Mission 12 description on defiantfew.com. Week 12 of the show (Aug 28th)

Silicon Valley was released August 5th.
That was the last content update of any kind this game had in terms of new missions or cross-over content. That was episode 8.
So there was an entire month and 5 episodes where we got zero content, including the finale, when all signs indicate that we should have gotten three. Four if you count the world affecting finale.

Almost half the season, we got nothing.

There have also been interviews with the show creators who stated they wanted to do more links with the game/show like razor rain (which I've been asking for in-game for a while during major arkfalls, but I guess it's too late now)

So a whole month or almost half of the show and no content.
Am I expecting this end of September update to catch up with everything that's suppose to have been released and add more?
....No. No I am not.

My expectations for this game are super low now. I don't hate the game, and I do enjoy it and still play it, but I don't expect anything anymore.
I beginning to wonder why this game just doesn't go into maintenance mode. Either Trion gutted the dev crew to a size that it can barely handle updating and managing the game, or they simply don't care about it.
With no PS4/XBone port on the horizon, the console population will only drop more and more each year.

.....What a life this game is having! lol
