00:14Defiance is a
00:15third-person shooter first
00:17and an MMO second.
00:19What that means is you're playing in the same world
00:21with thousands of other players.
00:23We take that great moment-to-moment
00:25third-person shooter gameplay and we put that in
00:27this huge seamless open world combining
00:29it with pixel-perfect accuracy shooting
00:31so based on your own skill you either
00:33make a headshot or you don't and this is
00:35the first time that a shooter has done this on this scale
00:37that's always on always evolving
00:39and your character advances
00:41in this world.
00:46Defiance differs from traditional shooters because the game
00:49goes on whether you are present
00:51or not. Whenever you're ready to play
00:54and jump on you're actually jumping
00:55into the world and seeing what's going
00:57on right at that moment as you're running
00:59around in the world new things are actually
01:01happening all the time.
01:03Defiance doesn't have a traditional lobby
01:05system. In effect the world
01:07is your lobby. There are session based
01:09both cooperative maps as well as
01:11player versus player conflict maps
01:13you can queue up for those but you're never
01:15taken out of the seamless open world so it's not
01:17like you're stuck staring at a screen.
01:19You don't go into a lobby you just say
01:21hey I want to play this through our user interface
01:23and then you can keep doing what you're
01:25doing and when it's ready to go you jump in
01:27automatically.
01:29Because the world is so massive
01:31we want to give players a really fun
01:33way to get from place to place
01:35and we do that through our vehicles.
01:37At any time you can press a button on the controller
01:39and your vehicle will appear in front of you
01:41you can hop on it and take off across the bay area
01:43and it's fully physics based
01:45so just traveling across our world is a blast.
01:48But in addition to that
01:49we also have different vehicles that you get to
01:51have in sort of group activities
01:53where the person on the back has their own
01:55personal machine gun and someone has a
01:57missile launcher to our sort of
01:59transport vehicles which you use for some
02:01resource gathering.
02:03In Defiance character progression runs along
02:05many parallel courses.
02:07The most fundamental one is you're going to be
02:09finding and acquiring new weapons in a lot of
02:11different ways as you go through.
02:12Obviously being a third person shooter the biggest
02:14thing that we have is the weapons. We have lots of
02:16cool weapons, thousands of weapons that you can
02:18collect.
02:19You're going to get more and more dangerous
02:21weapons including ones of alien design
02:23like an incubator, a biomedical gun.
02:26Even once you get a weapon you think is great
02:28you can actually customize that as you see fit.
02:30You will actually see a visual difference
02:32between improved weapons in the game and
02:34unmodified weapons inside the game.
02:37You will be able to earn points and spend those
02:40points to improve your character's abilities
02:41and that's the core thing that kind of defines
02:44a special power that you can as a player deploy
02:46at various times.
02:47And some of these abilities will be offensive,
02:49some of them will be defensive.
02:51But what's key here is that you as a player can
02:52swap that around at any time and you can
02:54upgrade those and a big part of that is the
02:57fact that again we really want the players
02:59to be able to craft their own experience.
03:02Cooperative play is what it's all about, you know
03:04getting in the game, playing with your buddies
03:05and we really want to ensure that people aren't
03:07locked into very specific roles.
03:09It's just a matter of playing the game for a
03:11a little bit seeing what game style you like
03:13and then just choose the weapons abilities that
03:15you enjoy playing with and save them to a
03:17template where you can use them later for the
03:18right scenario.
03:19Players are going to find different ways of
03:21relating to people.
03:22It's that really fun experience that if anyone's
03:24played any cooperative game with strangers
03:26they start to see that social moment,
03:28they start to experience something where we
03:30both together as a group, we accomplish something
03:32together and that actually means something.
03:35Defiance is shipping on three major platforms.
03:38PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
03:41It is a massive event, not only to be tied in
03:44with a television series but to allow all of
03:47those different platforms to play simultaneously
03:49inside of an MMO universe.
03:51The most revolutionary thing about Defiance is
03:54this new level of immersion we create.
03:55We allow players to watch the show, play the game
03:57and change the world.
03:59the world.
