Defiance is the amazing new TV Show-Video Game hybrid coming from SyFy Channel and Trion Worlds. The crew over at FPS General had a chance to get some hands-on time with the game at E3 in Los Angeles and it looks great - take a look for yourself! We were also able to get some details from the development team about gameplay and integration with the show:
- Instanced dungeons and raids, which players will group for
- Many different types of vehicles
- All players will exist int he same world, and integrated VoIP is a real possibility
- Both the show and game will launch about the same time: Game actions will affect the show, but it's unknown how long of a lag there will be between actions on the game vs. the show
- The show may cover the back stories of the main character, or even change to cover more people in the world
- Ammo management isn't a huge concern, as all monsters will drop ammo and other loot
- Players will be able to rank up and unlock mods for their weapons. Mods are things like new scopes, grips, magazine upgrades, etc.
- Outfits are going to be a large part of the game, and will somehow encourange like-minded people to pool their resources and play together
- Dynamic events will constantly occur throughout the world, in different scopes
- Dynamic action events will require good aim, friends, and planning to take down large enemies, such as shooting specific spots, or kiting enemies
- There will be both underground and above-ground events and instances
- You can resurrect teammates, or spawn at the closest respawn point
