What if the show DEFIANCE fails....

[Radz]

See my earlier commentary about which network its running on. Fox you should worry. SyFy? Not so much. It got like 77 episodes out of Eureka for crying out loud.

But they killed of Stargate Universe in two...and it had almost 15 years of history behind it and a firmly established fanbase already.

From what little I've seen of the show, it seems more then solid enough.

On the bright side, if show fails, the devs could potentially alow us to visit defiance

And I doubt season 2 is in production, as what we do in the game now, is supposed to impact season 2

You do know that what happens in game is all setup by the devs right? So they could already have s2 done because we probally won't really have any real choice in what happens, they might just make you think you do, seen this happen in alot of games, where you think you really have a choice but in the long run you do not effect the flow of anything at all, skyrim is a prime example, you think you have choices but no matter what you choose in the main story it still plays out the same.

Anyway, the show looks promising, I love sci-fi stuff so as long as they don't totally bomb it, it'll do fine. Especally considering how like 80% of tv shows are garbage anyway now a days.

If anything I wish they would upgrade the texture quality, and redo the UI for the pc version, because the UI is horrible for a pc user, and the textures look like crap because its low-res x360 garbage, which does NOT scale well at all.

Exhibit A: Stargate Universe...

I don't miss that. The writers must have been suicidal because that was one of the most depressing shows I have ever encountered.

[Ortonius]

I'm pretty sure we will get a least a couple of seasons on SyFy. I usually don't hear about them cancelling shows one season in, and the pedigree around the cast and crew will hopefully convince the network to give this thing an honest run. What we don't know is their target as far as viewers in order to be satisfied.

If the show fails though the game will still continue, and most likely you will see Nolan and other characters from the show more often.

and I was STILL pissed they cancelled it. Loved that show!

[Rush]

My question, and I guess this isn't going to make me many friends here, but should the game continue?

I mean seriously, why should the game continue? About the only real draw to this game over anything else is its tie in with another TV show (in fact, the only reason I'm interested in the whole Defiance thing is due to this tie in. I actually think the show looks boring and the game as well. I'm only here to observe the relationship between the two). Anything else this game does is generally available in another game. And this game lacks alot of the MMO quality of life features that are present in oher games.

YOU TaLK ABOUT as if this concept is something old as if the gaming community has tried something like this before?

That's what I liked about it, they've done the "we save the world" thing every 4-5 episodes in the other Stargate series. It's nice to see the formula broken, I think that's part of the reason that Atlantis failed

[CookingWithGuns]

While like any new show, I hope the show is amazing and survives many seasons and winds up being one of the best SciFi shows ever....

However if it were to fail, that could benefit the game greatly actually. It would allow them to add a TON of new content because they'd have no time restrictions anymore, and no ratings worry for networks. They could not only add more content, but even make it a bit darker and much more in-depth and complex.

I would say I'm actually trying to say it in the reverse; this hasn't really been seen before at all.

Therefore, we have nothing to go with on gauging if the game "needs" the show or not. I'm challenging the idea that the game, in the absence of the show, is something worth spending time on.
