I remember back in November '04 a game was a big deal with the fan base who knew about it but they didn't really crank the heat on advertisement until after initial launch as they had a few bugs to sort out and what not, but eventually the ads came and they grew... Still doing fine too.
I saw a video while at Gamestop when i was purchasing Tomb Raider lol... got to BS'n with the guy who works there and saw the vid a cpl more times. I saw ppl killing giant bugs...I'm a huge Starship Troopers fan so killing giant bugs looks like a blast to me.
I help run another gaming forum and i think One or two of the guys from our site will be picking it up.
Last year my sleeper game was Dragon's Dogma. Perhaps in 2013 it'll be Defiance!
It will do well. Plus if the show is good then more ppl will want to play the game since the two are link.

I was wondering the same thing. I played every subscription based MMO known, but always liked gaming on the couch with a controller much better than sitting in front of a computer and so I was waiting for an MMO for Xbox.Originally Posted by VictorTwoRomeo
I heard the name "Defiance" a couple of months back in relation that there will be a game and a TV show sharing the same world, etc. but they failed bringing it across that this would be an MMO for the consoles, especially Xbox. I only know this for a couple of days now through a give away by Raptr.
I have seen more advertisement in the last week or so. Then again I am pretty sure they are going with some kind of strategy devised by people who have degrees in that field, so I am somewhat certain they do have a plan they are just not sharing it with us :P.
I don't think it will be DOA. I do think, like any MMO, it will have alot to prove the first few weeks. You'll know if it is going somewhere after about 2 weeks of launch. SciFy has an extremely bad record of canceling shows without warning leaving the series to end on cliffhangers so I do fear for the tv show side of things. Not that scify makes bad tv but just that they may very well drop the show without warning after 1 season if it doesn't perform regardless of the games performance. One of the risks of this transmedia deal I guess.
I think a lower population at the start is a blessing. It will ease the stress on the servers and allow the community to find bugs, glitches etc without a server reset every 2 hours. If the game is good (i think it will be) then the population will grow by word of mouth and reviews (Dragons Dogma).
My only concern for the game is that the next gen systems will be out later this year . . . .
The good thing though is that while the game and show are connected, they do not need each other and one could go on without the other. In the game's case, if the show gets cancelled Trion could make an expansion to tie up any loose ends or plots.

i think even if the show is cancelled early it only be a blessing in the end for trion to get even more creative on this title lift alot of barriers for them to futher the game . The core concept of the show looks really solid and the clips of the show so far show promise I will be a fan from the start look forward to the show as much as the game i dont think it will fail but time will tell
Just wanted to know where these numbers came from?
