Defiance Is A Telly Program Too

MULTIMEDIA CROSSOVER ALERT. It's like Skylanders this, but with more alien death and bionic irises. Trion's Defiance is currently best-known as a sci-fi MMO, but it's also going to be a TV show on the atrociously named Syfy channel. I believe this is a glimpse at what that will look like: a Starship Troopersy affair (visually - I doubt the satire will be in there, somehow) deliberately made to look very similar to the game.

The whole Defiance circus kicks off later this year, but beta things are already happening.
