Graphics or performance

in Defiance

Too many people want the best in graphics yet do not take into account the performance hit in large scale online games. Defiance yet not absolute top notch in graphics is still optimized to run well when there are high populations in an area. 

Imagine how much harder your graphics card would have to work if your fighting a boss along with 50 plus players especially if the graphics were pushed higher than what it is now. 

I'm currently studying computer game design at university in australia and I've seen how much of a hit pushing graphics to its limit when a lot is happening on screen. 

Defiance has its flaws but its still a very well made game.

    This is already an issue even in your typical tab target MMORPG that doesnt require lots of precision. I think its kind of funny when I see people complaining about the graphics in an MMO Shooter, knowing that those same people would also be complaining the most if the game looked like Crysis but was so shitty on performance that they couldnt hit anything. The game wasnt made to just run on top of the line machines, they have to allow it to be playable on less capable machines too or there would be no population.

    As long as the load is on the clients there is no argument for not having high graphic standards.

    The graphic is good, you can use SweetFX to gain some visual enhancements!

    I for one will join the game on launch. There is many sci-fi games coming out this year and maybe I wont stay long - or come back later depending on how the series and game develops.

    It looks very promising and worth the money for sure (I played the Beta weekend and completed the story missions) - now only need to decide if its steam or not... hmm :-)
