Big damn plug for the Escape Velocity: Firefly mod! In a couple of weeks (plus time taken up by school) we hopefully will have a preview version out.

For those who don’t know Escape Velocity is a space trading game presented on a 2D field like ‘Asteroids’. This mod takes place right after the defeat of the Browncoats and follows Mal as he works for different employers eventually purchasing Serenity and going in to business for himself.

I would love something alog the lines of Diablo II - Lord of Destruction.

There would even be an excuse for a secret cow level :)

I wouldn’t want Vivendi away near a Firefly game. The nightmare of Steam must be contained.

I do think Firefly would make a good Knights of The Old Republic style RPG. Bioware cannot be praised enough for adding Revan to the Star Wars universe.

Also something along the lines of old classic Elite would work well.

Who do you suppose is in there?

at first, i was thinking that a Firefly game would be horrible. and i'm still sticking with that, kind of.

if you were to make a KOTOR-style game, or a MMO, set in the Firefly universe, then that'd be ok, but as far as playing as the crew members and stuff... no. a million times no.

There apparently IS a game in the works. I'm not sure who it's by, what system it will be on or when it will be released. I overheard some loud-mouthed reporters talk about it at E3. They signed an NDA and weren't supposed to talk about it. I didn't. Talk it up everyone! Spread the word!

I started looking around other firefly boards to see if anyone else is planning any sort of game when i came across this:

i guess this warcraft guild called Serenity Now completely demolished this in-game funeral for a girl that died in real life, and they video taped it.

crazy stuff. and certainly not the best way to spread serenity.

(edit) although i guess there was some payback, they had a hacker get into their site http://serenity-now.org/
serves them right.

Personally i would love a Serenity video game. if they do make one i hope it would be something like a MMO game like WOW or something.

Even a regular game would be just fine with me on the new game systems.

I would picture it as more of a 'Freelancer ' type game, where you go from job to job, trying to get by.

You have various contacts on different worlds that give you smuggling jobs etc. You make cash on all the transport jobs you do (even the legal ones) and spend it on repairing/upgrading Serenity.

While you are free to roam and pick which missions or quests you want, there could be a set of missions for the main story arc. Possible one would be discovering the Shepard's background. (that was never resolved, though there is just cause to believe he was once an 'operative')or a whole new story arc in which you must prevent the alliance from causing another disaster like the Miranda one.

Side quest missions from contacts would be robberies etc, where you select the appropriate crew member to take with you on a job (Jayne & Zoe if its guns blazing, Kaylee for technical, Innora for stealth/con jobs etc)

You could make it something worth playing,

My days of not taking you seriously are definitely coming to a middle ...

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is coming out this fall... should be perfect for an Alliance/Independents mod.

yea i would

Think of this amazing concept. It could be first or third person and in stead of following a set path it would be open ended. You play, primarily, as Malcom Reynolds and you command the crew during jobs. But, to keep it inserting you have to avoid the alliance and reavers that are randomly about. You would not only choose which jobs to take, based on the payment and where the Feds are, but how to go about them as well. On some missions you may even have to play as Jayne or control the ship as Wash. Jobs from the show could be included plus many more; but, with an internet connection there could always be the ability to download more missions. I also think that with a little coaxing the original cast could be brought back for likeness rights and voice acting.
