Defiance: Advanced Mission Beta 3 Details

[Roam]

atleast cnsider making the ps3 beta MARCH 19th start to MARCH 24th end and XBOX start MARCH 24th to MARCH 25th end so that way it can be equal to the amount of time to beta event 1 and 2 which is 3 days

only 1 day xbox beta? and thats monday/tuesday? and we have to download the ~10gb client in that few hours i think? on a monday/tuesday where people have to work?

You need to master some reading comprehension.

I love how he took the time to insert this for a response but avoid the question alot of ppl have asked about the reason why there are longer beta times for different platforms. (which there could be a good reason) I think ppl who pay 60 dollars have a right to ask and be anwsered. Looks like he could use a little reading comprehension himself if he missed all the posts.

I know ps3 owners are excited about having the beta for a week, but I'm kind of the opposite...to me the dates say we have the 360 version ready but lets give them a taste of the beta anyways but holy crap do we have a ton of bugs on the ps3 better do a week with those guys! anyone else feel this way?

Pfffft, maybe for you buddy....but I'm not affected by shiny-object syndrome. You obviously never played BRINK......

LOL Thats so true

I don't get why this is getting so much hate. Whenever the game has been shown on console it has been on 360, so surely the PS3 needs more testing. I know that I will actively be seeking bugs (not hellbugs) and if I'm honest, trying to break the game, then reporting as much feedback as possible.

Also even if Sony has got exclusive rights for DLC and longer beta ect, what is the problem, look at how Microsoft has been buying its way through the industry over the past few years.

I am hoping its down to testing, but if it is Sony wading in then tough, these things happen.

Microsoft pays for timed exclusives, usually a month. Sony pays for permanent exclusives.

Hi guys, just a quick question, I pre-ordered defiance in Feb... I have no beta code on my receipt... I've pre-ordered it in gamestop in Sligo (Ireland). I rang them a few minutes ago and the guy said he wasn't aware of beta codes going on to their receipts.... anyone got any information with regards to this???

A month? Obviously you weren't on the PS3 end of the stick when it came to the GTA4 expansions... that was straight up horrible.

Most of the demos showed for defiance have either been on pc or xbox so do they really need to test xbox that much? probably not, i have yet to see ps3 get a demo but they have had dc universe on their system so they have more mmo experience than the xbox. This being said it would be cool if we can get the same time and im sure we all want answers.
