Small update from someone who played this on gamescon

Alyvian · August 2012

Its suprisingly polished for a prealpha, this will be a game to keep an eye on.

How about you add some credibility to that statement.

What you did you do?

Where was it located?

What is a comparable game?

simple, the title stated what i did, they had a trial on gamescon which i played (a warfront of sorts i suspect).

and quite honestly, i guess firefall but comparing firefall and defiance would be downright painfull towards defiance (in my eyes) with firefalls rather terrible hit detection (atleast it was terrible on gamescon, compared to other shooters that were being showcased).

and also, credibility? what is this a case of internet security?

Thinktank mainly wants more info. You really did not say much about the game. We know the demo will be polished. Trion would be fools not to have a polished demo to show to the masses. Loss sales that way if they had a bug ridden mess.

Give us details that flesh out the game alittle. Ex. Is it open world, Did the weapons feel good to use, etc. Just saying it is polished is not much.

ok, that i do understand

we had 4 classes to choose from, on their prealpha at any rate

- heavygunner

- Sniper/reccon?

and two i forgot, as i never really looked properly. The sniper is the only one i played as i sorta liked the concept of it, its two mainweapons were sniper gun (obvioulsy) and a submachine gun (think tf2 i think, been so long since i played it). There was a tiny delay between shooting and hitting or missing but, nothing to bad for a pre alpha. And yes, i do think it felt good

The one map we played was a 5-10 minute warfront, a shipyard of sorts which lasted around 5 minutes for us. In some groups it seemed to last quite a lot longer tho so i do not know if we just had a lot of skilled players on our side or if they had another map.

The game itself is rumoured to be open world, but we just saw the one warfront type of map, so can't say anything for sure at this point.

Althouhg you lack any substance to back up your claims I still belive you because Trion do things in a polished way and not halof assed like some other companies *cough* Bioware *cough*. Still though, I am not a fan of RTS or FPS style games so this title will do so without me (same as planetside 2).
