Lolz at the defiance show animated hellbugs.

Have you ever seen the first seasons of Firefly, Stargate, Babylon 5, Farscape, Buffy, Dr. Who, Lost? They weren't exactly the cutting edge of CGI. The writing and acting is what made people keep watching.

Even huge shows like Game of Thrones, the CGI isn't even that great.

The Defiance show is being done low budget...

You're wrong. Defiance's season one budget is $40 million. For reference, the current season of Game of Thrones ran $60 million.

That's not low budget.

Unless James Cameron is doing a TV show then CGI will always look funny.

The clip i saw during the AJ review i thought was a hellbug fight. It showed numerous people fighting, then you see one guy just kinda walk towards the camera without a care in the world during a hellbug fight! Haha it hought that was hilarious, but again i only saw a sample of the fight

That's not from the show, it's a live action commercial for the game.

While I agree with you totally, there are some people who don't care about writing or story, all they seem to care about is special effects, explosions and choreographed fights. I've discovered a foolproof way to identify them. Ask them "Did you see the Matrix movies and if so, which one did you like best?".

I seen that small clip on the AJ review, they were commenting that it looked cartoony.

It looked so bad I didnt believe it was really in the show,
still we will see, acting and story is good enough I can be drawn in.

I realize this should be in the tv show forums but I find it hilarious that the tv show hellbugs animators did some a poor job with the CG on the show. Its downright dreadful. I know it costs ALOT of money to animate and the show being on scyfy isn't helping anything. But I personally think the bugs in the game look better than the show.

Except that was a Game Advertising, not a scene from the show.

That sir is quite ingenious. My answer: First one. Liked the set up for the story.

I watched the first 14 minutes and tbh it didn't seem great. The acting was nothing to shout about and the effects weren't too clever. I will give it a try when the show is released for a fair few episodes, as I'm not going to base my judgement on 14 minutes, but it didn't seem like anything that I could really get into so far. The game on the other hand is really addictive for me though, I think I could live without watching the show and still play the game if I don't get into it.
