That announcement was very poorly done. Do they even proofread what they have written? Anyway, this could be very awesome. I'm not holding my breath, as MMOs in recent years have been downright terrible (not all, but a lot of them), but if they manage to pull this off, they'll be sitting pretty.

Also, for those people who don't seem to get it, Defiance is NOT a Facebook game! The confusion is brought about by the poorly worded intro, but if you take the time to read, you can clearly see that it's two seperate things.

Will the game be starring Debbie Gibson AND Tiffany???

Ahh, Scifi (I bloody refuse to call it SyFy) channel original movies. CGI so bad it looks like a cutscene from an early 90's video game, and that's mildly insulting to most games from the era. I like them because they also let you know which actor's careers are about to implode; they're pretty much a last desperate grab for cash or some sort of recognition at cons to justify charging twenty bucks for an autograph.

Anyway if the gameplay is anything like Tabula Rasa's, I might check it out. Rift wasn't my thing, but it did show me that Trion is perfectly capable of creating a polished product. We shall see as more information is revealed.

thank you so much.  everytime i see syfy i want to punch something.  what possible reason could they have had for changing it to that.

Makes it easier to search in Google

There are a few shows on SciFi (I refuse to say SyFy) that I really enjoy.  Warehouse 13, Stargate Universe, Sanctuary, so hopefully if the show/game is as good as those shows are this is good news.

Hopefully they aren't like the other craptastic shows, like mentioned above the made for tv movies with or the stupid "realistic" monster/ghost hunter shows.

You SciFi channel fanboys, get ready for a major fuck up, like Us G4 Fans had to go through when they fused with TechTV..... Get ready,,,,Its coming,,,,,

I think it already happened with the airing of WWE-Ghosthunters-face off. And ya G4 hit the toilet lid on the way to being flushed.

From what I UNDERSTAND, changing the name from SciFi to Syfy, allows them to air more shows and movies under their name. I guess the problem was 'SciFi' is a type of genre, thus couldn't be copyrighted. SyFy however is their own spelling of it, and CAN be copyrighted.

 

Anyways, I'm interested to see what Trion does with this. Rift wasn't quite what I was looking for, but it was a solid, polished product none the less.

 

 I think it was so they could air non-scifi shows and get less grief from the consumers. Wrestling is not sci-fi. They also need to fire the guy either coming up with the original movies or the guy green lighting them. They used to be decent years ago, production quality not so much, but stories were much better. Now it's just crazy natural disaster or dinosaur/overgrown animal movies, yawn.

So, is this gonna be a retry of the ideas they had for SGW? They planned to have that game and the show cross over into each other. Maybe trion can pull it off.

Similar to Disney Channel, the original movies they use to have every month use to be good. But once Highschool Musical came out, the Original Movies have been clones of these Crappy Dance movies

If I had cable I would care.  If I wasn't going to be playing GW2, I would care.  If it wasn't going to be sub based (not that I have heard any info on the payment model) I would care.  If I liked FPS games or gun games (I use to before games like CoD and MW)...essentially simulated war...I would care a little.  If SyFy didn't suck, I REALLY would care.  If Trion had a game I liked I would care.

I really think that the weakest link here is SyFy, and I really think the idea is good.  I actually think Trion could suceed at their end of the bargain and still completely flop because of external factors.

Not that this isn't a rehash of what I am sure somebody else has already said.

grmbl... wrong password when i wrote this:

LOL...

i'll look into it when they come with soemthing that sounds cool. So far i didn't see anything. I played trions's rift and i didn't like it. it's not my thing... it's a high wow factor and i don't have anything with it. meh. most of the games are based on playing together in teams or raids or other time-specific crap. As i said... not my kind of thing.

i'll keep an eye out fot hte games tri-fy (trion-syfy) gam,e channel, but i don;t think its my thing...

and saved it... LOL...
