Defiance: Advanced Mission Beta 3 Details

[Huffy]

Alright, I'm an Xbox player and everyone knows that Playstation network is HORRIBLE and that is most likely why they gets a few more days for beta because it will most likely have more problems than Xbox. However, 48 hrs on a Monday & Tuesday to test a Beta is crazy, if it is a stress test I'm sure it won't be much of a test considering people have to go to work, school, etc. I'm going to use the time I have to play but geez Trion can I at least get 3 days lol.

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???

My local eb/Gamestop here in Canada does not print them on receipts either, instead you need to go to them as ask if they have the pre-order weapon card. Its a card board paper thing with the weapon you get on the front and then the beta code on the back of the card. The store only got them in yesterday, so I would go back and ask. It's a little blue front cover with the main defiance picture and specific to each system, so make sure you check the bottom of the cards before taking one.

I actually did play Brink on PC for a month or so before I moved onto another game.

Once again you're speaking of PC.....good lord man, get with the program...I am NOT referring to anything PC related...I obviously play 360. BRINK on console was f-ing horrible...get my point now. Amazing videos and I was actually VERY good at light weight free-running (thanks to Mirror's Edge practice), objectives, and getting kills...I was even my clan leaders right hand man due to said skill (not bragging, just trying to paint a picture that my dislike wasn't due to excessive losing or dieing like a lot of people that stopped playing it) and yet that game was still NOTHING like what the videos made it seem. Videos VS. getting my hands on it and trying it out for myself can't compare.

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.

True, but that's still only one example out of many to the contrary. Also, to be fair, I couldn't care less about GTA4, lol.

Whoops, disregard... thought the original post was countering what I was saying. *facepalm* LOL xD

well yeah i can see that being a possible suggestion being that the ps3's system design internally is very different and more complex than the xbox
so yeah that 1 week thing is very understandable pluss all the trion videos have been showing it on the xbox

There are several others... but alas, I'm sure there's lots of games you probably play that I could also care less about. Your point?

I'm guessing they already put a lot of focus on the xbox 360 and pc version and they need to focus on the PS3 version more. I'm happy that they going to try to get the PS3 version right as a Playstation gamer. Woooohoooo!!!! March 19th

What bothers me is how so many people think that BETA testing is for the players. Beta testing is one of the best ways for developers to have people that aren't hired by the company to find bugs and errors by having larger amounts of people playing the game before release and hopefully having an honest enough community to report these bugs and helping development. Having that said when one beta is longer than another it's generally because one area needs more work than another. The PS3 probably has a different way that they have to configure the servers in order to let them connect to the trion servers. Look at how rough DC: online was when they first released it. It was laggy and almost impossible to play (or at least my own experience was that way). Xbox probably only gets a short beta time since it is relate-able to how a pc connects and they need more servers running for the ps3, short hand they could have easily just not have had the beta at all. If that's not the case microsoft probably had a hand in it and limited to how much time a "free" beta since their going to have massive amounts of people download the game on their servers slowing it down for everything else on the marketplace. PC users are generally the ones who commit to finding bugs, now this isn't saying that pc users are better than any other user, It's just they have the easiest access to reporting a bug than any other system. Enjoy the beta, report some bugs, and we all will have a blast coming April 2nd with a clean game!

So what? Still doesn't prove what I said wrong. Microsoft is also well known for hard-locking exclusives for quite some time as well is my point. :P

I was agreeing.
