Apparently, $5 wasn't cheap enough.

Wonder if they got some kind of news from SyFy all back-channel like that after this last season, that's it for the show. Between that andDestinylaunching, that'd put them into high scramble mode (even though the game was falling enough on it's own)

edit: annnd.. wtf? They are now going to sell a SUB to this game as well, lol? Between Rift and this game, this company has some fucked up business acumen.

Funny Bill Trost and Hartsman talking back and forth about some beta keys. What's ol Trost up to nowadays?

Interesting it looks like they are making a new defiance game. I enjoyed the first one for a good bit until some of the technical limitations of the original engine just started to bother me. If they can fix some of the technical problems and update the game engine I would probably give this a shot again.

“Defiance 2050 recreates the original game from the ground up to be representative of the current generation of consoles. From updated textures to improved resolutions and framerates, Defiance 2050 is a marked improvement over the original Defiance. Defiance 2050 is more than just a simple graphical remaster, as the game’s systems have gotten major improvements to create the definitive version of the game. Today’s consoles and PCs enable the dev team to implement features and upgrades that fans of the game have been clamoring for, while advancements in hardware allow for action on an even larger scale than before, with more players able to take to the battlefield in white-knuckled combat.”

I am not touching any "free2play" Trion's product tho.

I remember playing the beta with this and just feeling "meh" the entire time. I think even then, it was plagued with microtransactions. The world seemed very limited as well. But hell, if 2050 has any good reviews - I wont scoff at installing this new version and trying it. Better be a strong hook if they want any money though.

I'm a fan of the original. Any Loot n' Shoot game holds a special place in my heart. In still played this up to a about a year ago on and off, even though it was obviously dying, mainly because there are so few decent MMO shooters to fill the void.

This reboot is without a doubt a cash grab. Improve the graphics a bit, update a few systems, replace progression systems with ones which they can monetize for expediency / cosmetic system. Most likely very little if any actual new story or gameplay. But I'll still play since there isn't much else to compete with it. Not about to spend much money on it though.

I think a lot of the new one is so they can launch it on the modern game systems which also allows them to up the graphics and redo some mechanics but I will give it a twirl to check it out. I played the original enough to see all the content at that time and for what it was I enjoyed it. They had some interesting weapon options like the head crab infection gun things which amused the hell out of me.

Ya, it did end on a decent note. They could have really mined that setting for so much more, though.
