Which platform do you think will have the biggest playerbase?

Im a PCer. Large monitor, 5.1 surround sound, nice comfy chair and a place to rest my beer, my beer, my beer and my bourbon. And my beer.

HAHA! Made my day.

I never said that they would abandon the PS3/360 versions of Defiance for the newer consoles, that's not very nice to put words in my mouth.

I think Xbox has a good chance, especially if Trion can get ad/featured space on the dashboard. I know a lot of indie games pick up people that way.
As far as longevity, I think there a people still playing COD: World at War. So as long as it's good...

well if this board is any reference theres probably like 5 ppl total getting it on ps3 while theres 100 for xbox and 100 for pc lol so PS3 is lookin kinda bleak lol

Uhm, obviously you haven't seen the recruitment thread for Corruption. The PS3 has more of a following than people think.

And the person who said that the 360 has more kids? They were correct. Sure, there are kids on all platforms, but games like CoD, Halo and Battlefield seem to always have a few screaming preteens in a lobby. Out of the consoles, PS3 has the more mature community. I've ran into some of those annoying kids on PS3, but not near as many. Some of the kids I've met on PS3 have actually been pretty mature.

On topic: I hope this game fares well on all platforms. I've been spreading the word to my PS3 friends about it, in hopes to see more population on launch day. Sadly PC and X-Box 360 will have the higher player base, because they are more popular.

so when they upgrade/update the game to the new consoles its some how gonna still work on the older ones?

Just a possibility, I am not a programmer or game designer so I have no idea how much time and effort it would take for them to bring Defiance say from the PS3 to the PS4 nor do I really know what they would do in that situation but I would think they have some idea because they are making the game for these consoles and they, along with all of us, are hearing rumors about the next gen consoles that MIGHT be announced this year.

Not as long as you would think, the Pc version will be the baseline(im guessing), xbox/ps3 they would simply needed to reduce the quility of the game for it to work on them, then when the next gens hit they can just simply add a patch for the ones who have the next gens to download and be on par with or possibly still alittle under pc performance.

I think the problem that was being voiced is, what would keep Trion Worlds from dropping any new content on older consoles when a new one is released? What would stop them from ignoring the PS3 community when the PS4 comes out and what not.

[Elder]

Well if they're using the pc as baseline, then they wouldn't have to do much for the next gens thats only saying if the next gens can handle the Pc performance so baiscly the same amount of work now, give or take codeing changes so both should recive the same amount of love, least they should anyway it would be daft to ignore them
