i don't think one will ever be commercially developed, but it would be something really fun for us fans to build!

i'd love to see an old-school Sierra style adventure game based on Firefly (ala the King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest games). Maybe mixed in with some Maniac Mansion style character switching, or if you're more familiar, the Star Trek 25th Anniversary game.

OR we could do an action/adventure RPG hybrid somewhat like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Man, that would be something wouldn't it?

This is just wishful thinking on my part. I'm not a very skilled programmer, nor am I a great writer. That's why I'd love to collaborate with other fans here and see if this could be a possibility. Wouldn't it be great to have a game that takes place somewhere between "Objects in Space" and the Serenity movie? I'd love to see and play that for sure! Heck, we could take a really good piece of fan fiction and base the game off that.

What do you guys think?

When my wife and I walked out of Serenity, the first thing we agreed on was that while we were watching it we were thinking it would make a great Bioware RPG. They're the people who did Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire, of course.

I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think of a game like that being made. They made a Buffy game for Xbox back when Buffy's ratings weren't all that great.

There are lots of skilled modders working on Grand theft Auto: San Andreas at the the moment. For PS2 XBox & PC it would seem. Best by far for PC though. They've even got an online mod up and running which will be ready for downloading sometime next year I expect. You can find screen shots etc here http://gta-sanandreas.com

For those who don't know it, San Andreas is one of the most ambitious video games ever created. The game world is bigger than huge and although there is a mission structure to the main game, it's completely free roaming, meaning you can walk, run, drive, or fly anywhere you want to night or day and in any weather. You can work as a group too, selecting gang members to join you who'll follow you around and give you a hand to some extent.
I could imagine being able to swap control between the characters for different jobs that require different skills, weapons, mechanics, intelligence, strength etc. The three major cities could be turned into 3 or more seperate moons instead.
There are around 100 different vehicles to drive in SA, these could be turned in to all manner of hover crafts / mules, you can even fly a huge airliner which could easily be turned into a spaceship, Serenity maybe.
It'll never be created of course

Yep ......................... that went well!

I've considered converting my code for "Pernica" to create a "Firefly 'verse" virtual world, but I suspect Joss, Universal or Fox would shut down such at attempt thus it seems it might be a lot of work to do only to be squashed.

YES!!! And I'd much rather have it for my PS2 than for my computer.

Unless someone can build and program something for my original NES...that'd kick butt!

If you were refering to my post, I've played both PS2(now sold) & XBox vers, both identicle. I think only the PC would handle something like that.
It's the most impressive version, can see for miles across each city & the countyside, and I only have a fairly modest PC.

Yep ......................... that went well!

They made not one, but 2 Buffy games (the first is for XBox only and is far superior to 'Chaos Bleeds' the second released for PS2 and Xbox). These games are why I bought my XBox!

I would like to see Vivendi tackle this game. I would love for it to be multiple player and include both flying missions (to get new jobs to get to port, ect) and ground missions using various characters. Plus they could incorporate non-movie characters like Badger and Niska and YoSaffBridge into the game. I don't get RPG, so I'd like to see this as a mission based sort of game.

I mean they could even use senarios from the show, for instance: you have to delivery 200 black market beagles to Beaudmont by X-time. There are lots of factors, like the buyer shoots at you or the ship breaks down cos you were cheap and didn't buy that part Kaylee needed last time you were docked (cos you'd be getting money for your missions). I love this stupid game called Black Kat it's a pirate game where you go to different ports and have to get different things or kick different people's asses and you have to buy supplies and fix your boat after battles and stuff like that. I think the FF game could be like that, only with more specific missions, and the occasional reaver chase or magnetic space trap. I think it could be a lot of fun.

I know Joss was involved in the 2 Buffy games and there is still talk of an Angel game, so maybe a Firefly game isn't too far off.

BTW: I hate CPU games, so I'd only be interested if it were for my XBox.

The number one game of all time to mod Fireflystyle would be Hardwar - This would be perfect, if you could only also travel in space, rather than just planetbound. It's all about making your way, legally or otherwise. Trading, stealing, modding your ship. One hugely underrated game in it's own right.

http://www.hardwar.info/

Hardwar + KotOR = Firefly

X-Wing Alliance would be another fantastic mod. Though neither of these have on-foot sections. If only you could do both.

We really need a Firefly: Galaxies, instead of Star Wars.

i'm down with a bioware made KOTOR style game. KOTOR (the first one) might be my all time favorite video game, and i'm usually opposed to RPGs.

Jade Empire was also really good, but far to easy. hell, nathan fillion was the voice of gao the lesser.

Plus PC games are moddable, which is significant 'cause no video game can be perfect for everyone.

Do they use TV version Book (with the collar and pulled-back hair) or movie version (no collar, hair in cornrows, goatee)? What about Wash (TV's Hawaiian shirt or a movie-style flightsuit)?

If it's a movie-based game, can we replace Jayne's gun with Vera?

Plus a half-decent editing community can keep a game going long past its usual lifespan. Heck, the Jedi Knight community is doing stuff on a ten-year-old engine that some modern games have trouble with.
