Set on a future Earth, Defiance introduces players and Syfy viewers to a world ravaged by decades of conflict, where humans and aliens live together in a world the likes of which no one has seen. The game combines the frenetic action of a top-tier console shooter with the persistence, scale, and customization of an MMO, while its TV counterpart exudes the scope, story, and drama of a classic sci-fi epic. The game’s story will take place in the San Francisco bay area, while the TV series will be set just outside of St. Louis, MO. Because they exist in a single universe, the show and the game will influence and evolve each other over time, with actions in both mediums driving the overall story of Defiance.
I’m not sure how I feel about this, will there be enough time to make the episode so that it’s reflecting things that have happened recently in the game? Aren’t most shows filmed months ahead of time?

I bet they have everything planned out already. The players will have zero say in how the game evolves.
Still, an ambitious project to be sure. I wonder what will happen when one succeeds while the other fails.
that’s what I’m thinking as well, but it seems dishonest to be saying one thing but doing what everyoen knows your doing anyways
They didn’t say that the players would control how the game would “evolve.” Just that it would over time.
