Defiance is a free-to-play MMO-shooter that coincides with events in a television series of the same name, depicting humans and aliens working together on a ravaged, mutated Earth. The game is multi-platform, but does not support cross-platform play.
It doesn't exactly give me a lot of enthusiasm for the future, no. But then, they renewed the show for a second season, so at least you know the game will be around for a while. I'm betting that there's more DLC than free updates, though.
I've heard that the player count is dropping massively, at least on PC. It looked really interesting, and played well enough from the little time I spent with it.
I was mildly interested to get it on the Steam Summer Sale for $10 so I had something to tide me over until GTA5 was out but could never justify pulling the purchase on it. Looked like one of those games where you've seen it all 30 minutes in.
I actually thought the post on the PS Blog made a mistake and meant to put it at $19.99 (the price most stores seem to be selling it now) but lo and behold, just $10. Got me to really consider picking it up at least.
Thanks to the infernal steam trading cards I did go on it again fairly recently. I Saw a few people now and again but that was about it. Even at an Arkfall event I believe there were only 2 other people there. However I didn't go to all the areas so I can't really claim definitive proof. Maybe I just missed them all. After a couple of hours though I realised that the game still just really bores me so I left it to get the rest of the cards and haven't touched it since.
