Shiftie Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just a reminder the show starts tonight in the US, 9EST on SyFy. While you can all talk about how amazing or awful the show is in this thread, I wouldn't doubt if this gets moved to the TV Show section at some point (though a TV/Game mixup has never occurred so maybe not?..idk).

At least you admit it I'll be on my way home from class for most of it, though I don't even have cable. That's what the internet is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty-Rex Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I hope the TV show accurately portrays the game world we've all come to know and love, and it prominently features the main character doing fetch quests endlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xhunterrrr Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Since I don't have cable, I have no idea how I am going to watch it. I do want to, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xhunterrrr Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 i think youll be able to watch it on the website and hulu maybe.. "We currently don't have the rights to make this show available on your TV or mobile devices — request to be notified if it becomes available in Hulu Plus." I see no way to watch it on the Defiance website. It might show up on SyFy's website, but I don't know if it will since it is a cable show and cable shows are rarely free on the internet.

LOL Tune in next week when our hero goes for the gold in time trials after he finds the last recorder he's missing from Marin... OT I'm going to give the show a shot, but I'm curious to see what kind of impact it has on how many gamers use the servers during showtime. Who knows, they may shut em down to give the show a boost.

Giltec Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 They've put the pursuits up in game for the first two TV episodes. 3 pursuits each episode with 30 more ego points, some more titles and some outfits (or headgear at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutterk73 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 i fully expect to see every vehicle disappear and reappear further back then where i first saw them and characters standing in thin air.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remadee Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'll be watching, though I don't have high hopes, but that's mainly due to my experience with the SyFy channel's programming on previous occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepydumbdude Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It will be on their on demand. Usually I have like 4 shows recording on monday but am able to watch this new tonight since I guess those aren't. I'll probably just watch it on demand if it conflicts with anything.

DOOKH8R Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Do you think the TV show protagonists will get critical errors while they are in the middle of doing important stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbear. Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Do you think the TV show protagonists will get critical errors while they are in the middle of doing important stuff? Yes. And then when they try to restart what they were doing they will freeze in place until God hits the reset button. Seriously though, I watched the 14 min preview and was a little worried about how jarringly bad the CGI environments were. And the show depends heavily on CGI. It was not at all convincing that the characters were in the actual environment they were pretending to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's SyFy, is this not to be expected and for the people who don't have cable like me: *cough* torrents *cough*.

StolenPaper18 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'll be checking it out tonight. I can put up with crappy CGI if the storyline and acting is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binkyspankums Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 http://www.1channel.ch/watch-2737243-Defiance go to this website and watch it, they have the pilot episode on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I state again: it's SyFy Not gonna knock the acting yet, as there a couple of people in it that I do like (and a couple that I don't like).

I state again: it's SyFy Not gonna knock the acting yet, as there a couple of people in it that I do like (and a couple that I don't like). I was gonna say the same thing. This is SyFy. Where bad plot/acting/dialogue makes its home. Imagine greater. I've got this bad feeling that there is going to be a serious disconnect between the show and the game. From all the interviews with developers and such leading up to this, they made it sound like it was a real struggle to get the TV producers to cooperate with the game producers creatively and vice versa. Either way, it's a moot point, because I'll be missing this in favor of sweaty men pretending to wrestle. I have a WWE fantasy league and we've got lots of DOUGH on the line.

Keltic Rage Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just finished watching it. It's pretty good actually. It had one or two weak moments but all in all I see a really rich plot line developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
