Originally posted by escyos View PostI don't think so, its not like they came up with the show and then tacked on the game to help promote it. It has been 5 years in the making side-by-side, with over a hundred million dollars spent already. If Syfy is not willing to take that into account before deciding the fate of the show, well then they really must be insane as so many people say.Originally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

I haven't played the game, but I read a few articles that implied the series was to enhance the game. Games these days are big business and can often bring in more money than movies, and can cost as much to produce. But I haven't read anything about the split on how much they spent on each side.sigpic

I get it, you don't want to trust syfy and assume that they are going to kill the show over ratings, well your in the same boat as so many others. But tv is a business, they live on money and we can never change that....well until we become a moneyless society.
At any rate, its sci-fi and deserves some of our attention, unless we want a world of Big Brother, My Kitchen Rules and other abysmal "television".I'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

Webseries add a little to the backstory but the game adds a whole other side to the story, its like comparing apples and steak.

Originally posted by jelgate View PostThe gaming market is small compared to a TV market. I have a hard time believing they will continue finance the game if the shows does poorly
You shouldn't make baseless assumptions. I know ratings make up the bulk of decisions when it comes to tv shows. It has nothing to do with liking or disliking a channel. Its acknowledging that channels makes decisions based on financial success. Using that criteria its too premature to plan season 2.
You should never follow a genre blindly. They all have bad and good showsI'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

Originally posted by jelgate View PostConcept is still the same. Trion still has that incentive to want the show to do well. Bad show most likely means bad profit for the game
No reason to air something if it isn't making. Nothing is stupid about that
They have plans in place in case the other fails, so they don't go down as well. They are individual yet complement one another.I'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

Thousands isn't enough. And plus what people say is not always what they actually do. One has to be based on the other if the two are suppose to enchane one another. It makes more sense for the game to enhance the TV show than the other way around. Games rely on TV shows all the time to be good. Games based on movies and TV shows get cancelled all the time when the TV show tanksOriginally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right
