Greetings everyone,

We are all very happy to open the doors for discussion of this truly ground-breaking entertainment phenomenon! The Defiance forums are now live!

What is Defiance?

Set on a transformed earth 30 years in the future, Defiance™ is a revolutionary experience unlike any other. It's a third-person shooter MMO and a television show, and each influence the other. The game will be coming to Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3, and PC and slated for 2013.

Want to see more? Well, we've got you covered...

Be sure to visit www.defiance.com for screenshots and more info, and head over to the Defiance forums at forums.defiance.com to join in on the conversation!

Play the game, watch the show, change the world.

Shooters are not normally my thing but if Mass Effect convinced me (for a while - wtf ME3 ending), Defiance might as well.

[Muffinmans]

Getting really excited for this game, can't wait!

This has been something i've had my eye on since Rift went into Beta. As long as Storm Legion doesn't collide with this game i'll be happy. Please devs tell me i'll have time to enjoy both games!'

WHOA WHOA WHOA THAT DATE HAS TO BE WRONG!

Syfy Green lit the show going on air in Jan 2013! The game has to be ready by then doesn't it!?

Trionw hat the hell?

Not really a fan of shooters either but I'm sure trion could keep me entertained!

[Draegan]

Game looks great! Just in case you didn't know, follow us at Defiance Junkies for news a notes just like you do at Rift Junkies!

I have seen nothing so far that really shows that though, for me. There was a teaser trailer that said nothing, and the current trailer just says 'maybe this will have good FPS on my computer after all!'

I'm a story guy, you see. And Syfy...yeah.
I'll say I have my HOPES up for this game, and I'm totally up for testing the beta!

[Asaomar]

I'm totally up for testing the beta!

speaking of, I haven't seen any dates yet for beta testing, where can we sign up?

On one of the home page type things it says APRIL 2013 so I expect to see SL beta Aug/sept then relise oct/nov then Defiance Beta jan/feb then realise april.

Nice music.. and game and probably show too

Now seriously... when we can put our dirty hands on a beta of some sort?

[Elrar]

Trust me - we'll let ya know when the Beta details start flowing

[Jawsnap]

I dunno how the Master Chief is going to deal with that guy ridin' his Mongoose! :P

Looks awesome.

[Rainman]

Very interesting.

Will the show be U.S. only ? We have a SyFy channel in UK but its not usually very current with its schedules.

WTB that soundtrack, just put it in my Storm Legion Collectors edition ...

[Telnedra]

I am wondering how much real impact the players will be with the tv show? For example could I as a player totally take over a region, town whatever and have that reflected on the tv show? Also, out of curiosity would our character names be used for the tv show..or even mentioned? Something like "Seltara's forces decimated the enemy near Shores Keep and pushed into the night until Shores Keep was finally under Seltara's control"
