Defiance Twitch Interview at San Diego Comic Con 2013

Greg Laabs from Trion Worlds shows off the first DLC during a Twitch livestream showing:

• Duels
• Charge Weapons
• Raptor 4 Player Vehicle
• Dark Matter Arkfall
• Volge Sieges
• UI Improvements

Duels

The standard invite popup.

Urg, look at that menu tree... How about a new Quick Menu option for Duel Invite from Sledgehammer -> Accept.

The ground has an effect on it so you can see the dueling area.

Two out of three rounds, 10 second countdown for movement where you are hidden from the enemy.

The top of the screen shows the status like an emergency.

Duel enemy appears in red name.

Charge Weapons

Raptor 4 Player Vehicle

 

Dark Matter Arkfall

EGO Stems damage powerups for you or the enemy.

Volge Sieges

Standard siege color and icon, same from the Infected sieges.

Single reactor to defend, more appear in later stages.

Action shot

Turrets can be upgraded with Ark Salvage.

UI Improvements

Fast travel and merchants seem to be seperated and clearer.

Background added for tooltips on the map, looks much better.
