Defiance: Advanced Mission Beta 3 Details

[DocRogers]

They justify it because the game is a xbox game. They are just porting the game to the PC and PS3. Everything, even the developers playing, has been done with xbox in mind. The IGN play through was xbox. Most of the live streams are played with xbox controllers.

I agree with this. But the controller doesn't really say much to me. It's how the UI was designed. If you look at the UI you can tell it was designed for console players to be able to get in and out of quickly through the use of a wheel dial and ease of access menu systems.

Well it's a pretty big red flag to me when you see PC developers playing their PC game with a xbox controller all the time and not a mouse and keyboard lol.

im a xbox hardcore gamer through and through but ive preordered defiance ultimate edition on xbox. but im going to tomorrow to pre order the ps3. so i can get the 6 day beta even though i cant stand ps3. so i can try it out on both systems so i can get beta for both systems and see the difference between the systems. only way to settle this problem since xbox gets 2 days of play. they shouldnt even asked for a guarantee invite when preordering defiance. 2 days what is that especially during the week when i work 12 hours a day!!!!!!!!!

Yeah it shouldn't have even been a "pre-order" incentive to get the beta key. At this rate, everyone who owns an Xbox and is on Xbox Live Gold should just be able to download the "beta" and play during the period. Thus making it a truly open beta and preorder incentives worthless.

Who is running your PR department Trion! These are huge rookie mistakes.

As I stated on the other (6th?) topic about this. Non-hostile table...

And Was hoping for 3 day Friday-Sunday type of deal. But its better than nothing at all.

he meant by himself. the comprehension thing.

lmao...what?!

Incorrect all beta events before this have been 3 days.

You are incorrect. 3 days would be at least 30% more time than what we have. Additionally, both of the earlier events were during at least one day over the weekend. Stop being a fanboy and open your eyes.

[Paladin]

That is 30% more time. And at least one day of the earlier beta events were during the weekend. So.. you are incorrect.

Are you really going to let a day of a beta that doesn't even represent the full game decide if you get the game or not? A day?!
How does a day tell you there will be more problems with the final product? There is no correlation between those 2 thoughts.
Also I'm not a fanboy, I just see nothing wrong with the development of this game yet. A beta means nothing to me, so there's nothing to judge.

trion need to get their act together, why do PS3 get a whole week to play the beta (even though it is just for people who can't pay £6.99 and can stand having servers down every 5 secs) and xbox get a day, and people who have work only get to test it for 4 hours at the most unless they stay up all night.

if anyone can answer this for me email me: dapenguincookie@gmail.com

I would like to know how much it cost to have a beta client for the xb360 version on live for 2 days. I mean just to patch a game through xbox live cost $40,000 USD just for them to allow a game to be patched. I wouldn't even want to think how much Trion payed just to have them do the 2 day beta.

I know I am reply to my own but this is also the reason why some games on xbox live don't get the patches that they need and most likely never will get.

Which MS will hopefully change their patch policy for Next gen because Steam Box looks more promising everyday. Considering Valve made it easy for developers to patch whenever they want to.
