Defiance Review

Developer: Trion Worlds | Publisher: Trion Worlds
Players: 1+ Player Game | Release Date: 04/02/13 | Genre: MMO

To tie in with the release of the new Syfy television show, Defiance, Trion has released a game of the same name that will tie into elements of the show as each episode is released. So when something happens in the show, it will change the world of the game and vice-versa for events in the game changing the show. Sounds impressive, on paper. But how does this work in a real, live, game and TV show?

By Davis Wiitala - 05/20/13
ESRB Details: This is a massively-multiplayer online (MMO)/third-person shooter in which players assume the role of a mercenary salvager in a post-apocalyptic world. Players use laser pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles, and rocket launchers to kill various alien creatures, robots, and human characters. The frenetic combat is accompanied by realistic gunfire/explosions, screams of pain, and blood-splatter effects. Some attacks include sniper-scope depictions of headshots; bloodstains often remain in the environment for long periods of time. During the course of the game, characters sometimes engage in suggestive/sexual dialogue (e.g., “They were rapin' our pows and eatin' our women,” “Meet them and we risk seeing our men executed, our women raped, and our children indoctrinated,” “He'll get up close and personal with the tramp and feel things out.”). The game also includes a handful of drug references (e.g., “Just heard the Collins girl died of a drug overdose,” “These guys are higher than the Ark Belt,” and “some kind of Votan plant that can produce enough morphine to keep the whole Bay in a morphine dream”). The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” are heard in dialogue.

Nintendo has revealed some plans that are sure to turn smiles upside down for those who enjoyed attending the Nintendo E3 Press Briefing each year before the show began. Historically, Nintendo has had their E3 Press Briefing the Tuesday E3 began several hours before the show floor opened.
