I don't know anything about this game or the show but I know a good trailer when I see it! Defiance.

It did look interesting until it turned into Starship Troopers.

Oooookay.
Defiance. A new game made by Trion (who previously did Rift, and have things like End of Nations on the horizon too), in concert with the Sy-Fi channel. The idea is that Sy-Fy make a TV series kind of on the fly, the plot being based on world events (and player choices to some degree) in the MMO.
It's a good idea in theory, but linking two niche markets like this got a lot of potential to go wrong. If the game is crap, people might not watch the series, and vice versa. It's an interesting experiment. A lot of game publishers are going to be watching with interest.

Edit:
And yes, that trailer is basically a TV interpretation of a PUG Raid taking on a zone event and boss. Hence the large number of corpses.
