Defiance is in Development for Current Generation Hardware

[Johnny Stranger]

I guess that’s confirmation

This does indeed sound good and would be greeted favourably by many vet players who had moved on to next gen but I wouldn't hold your breath regarding your toons content being moved over.
They'd be shooting themselves in the foot from the get go if they did that.
Just think of all those bundles and crates they can sell again on next gen consoles.

Edit. With that in mind will people stop buying bits on ps3 and 360 consoles now just in case you can't transfer your gear over.

If you take 6 servers into account it could be.

This is awesome news.
IF we can transfer our toons.
If not, just a big letdown, and byebye Defiance for me.
No way i'm starting over after 4 years on xbox, just NO WAY.

Edit: "Trion Worlds appreciates their current players, which they say is 120k monthly active users across all platforms, and they want to improve the game for them as well as bring it to a new generation of players"

So we can transfer our toons, right? right?

"In our meeting, the team at Trion Worlds was extremely transparent about where they were in the game’s development and how much community feedback meant to them."

PR 101

I want to believe. (hidden sarcastic tone)

There's going to be lots of questions and another one I have will the old gen consoles still be supported when the new ones go live or will they shut down for good.

[Chris Robet]

Well then I log into the forums for the first time in years and am greeted with this news! I'd love to use my old grindfragger again and fail at every volge warmaster! I gave my sister my old PS3 when she went off to college so I'm happy to be able to play again! Anyways hello to anyone that remembers me.

[Bloodbath82]

We KNOW they won't transfer toons. They won't do it from Xbox to PC or PS3 they definitely won't do it here for old to next gen. As was already said it would kill the new profit to be made. If you read carefully it's not going to be the same game everything's going to be revamped or tweaked. So we will all be newbs again lol. This is probably where we will see the skill tree that they talked about in the previous posted interview. I'd like to see them be super smart and sell transfer items for bits AFTER offering a free transfer period. But ehh it's trion who really knows what rabbit hole they are thinking through.

[Thunder Gun Express]

Please for the love of everything let it be true!!! I havent got nextgen system yet but if this happens im all in for one so so so happy at the thought of this

[Cygnus]

Funny, they said they would let us know here first. Lol. Congrats playstation!! Hope Xbox one is next. Maybe cross platform play?? So we can meet our forums friends too....
