Just saw the Defiance (game) commercial on tv and...

If i wasnt already interested in this game.. that commercial wouldnt make me wanna buy it.. no gameplay.. not even cutscenes from the game... it was all live action lol. Hows that gonna generate hype for those who knows nothing about the game already?

it's not really a stand alone trailer, imo. I think it just "sets the scene". I played it for some non gamer friends an they got all excited asking if Mad Max was being remade. I would wait for some more teasers to include more gameplay. I dont think Trion wants to give away any spoilers about content not yet polished. Maybe they will include some footage from beta

its the inital trailer to get the word out. give people an idea of what its like to be n ark hunter.

there will be more when the time gets closer. we still have 2 months to go yet it will snow ball as we get closer to the day

Industry norm is to create these silly live action or CGI trailers in lieu of gameplay. Look at The Old Republic... almost entirely ALL CGI trailers leading up to the release. Doesn't interest me one bit. But, I hadn't really heard about this game until a pre-order to GreenMan popped up. I watched the live action video and now I'm interested. Not because of the trailer, but the premise of the game.

Nice, any buzz is a good buzz, at least social media is growing, its at 71k. They need to get 500k at least considering this is multiplatform game.

Hello there,

Well I can not say this tactic is new to Trion, they just work on the content so there is a lot to offer, then they start their adds, like a sleeper bomb they generate the hype close to releases, rather then how most generate it months before their even close to ready and the hype-train moves on to the next stop.

i think the hype machine is getting oiled up and ready to burn.

Damn better, 72k followers on FB, does not yet convince me to hit pre-order.. Especially we dont even play together, and we all know healthy MMO population is quite high.

I just spread the word to about 100 people in my multi-gaming group. That's a start. Word of mouth will be huge for this until some more information comes out. Would like to see the beta stepped up too... gives us some more interaction time.

i think it would made the curious interested enough to visit the site and view the trailers themselves, its more getting the name out there than selling copies.
