The perfect fit here would be Bioware making a game similar to KOTOR or Mass Effect. Our cap'n did some voice work for Jade Empire, so there is a preexisting relationship there.

I personally think that Firefly: The Video Game could go in two different directions, both would be cool.
The first would be a more linear adventure game. You could play as the crew of Serenity, and go on jobs. This could have the makings of a good game. You could choose different jobs, different things, etc. The main characters to play would probably be Mal, Jayne or Zoe, them being the good fighters. Put in a couple of flying minigames (Wash, if this is set before the BDM), doctoring minigames (Simon), and mechanical mini-games (Kaylee), and it could be a good game. I'm still trying to figure how to put Book in there (if it's set before the BDM). Preaching mini-games?
(not even going into Inara's... thing. I'd prefer a teen rated game, instead of making it mature)
Another path would be the good ol' MMORPG. Think about it: make a character, give them a class (fighter, pilot, doctor, mechanic, other) and they could do what they please. Join a crew, be part of the Alliance.. this could have so many possibilities.

Anyone play Unreal II: The Awakening?
I think a game like that, or a mod of that game would be quite cool for firefly/serenity.
The main reason is that, there was a lot of just wandering round the ship and interacting with people, lots of stuff going on you could watch or ignore.
Then you would go down onto a planet solo and inevitably be swarmed by bad guys but that could be changed, so that you go with Jane and Zoe and meet Badger etc.
Anyway I love the idea, and were I able to create models/skins/animations and get the voice talents of the crew, I would finish my game engine and make that game. However it would HAVE to be set before serenity, you need Wash to make it funny.
Keeping fingers crossed

If I had some mod experience, i'd try moding oblivion, since it has a beautiful game engine and after playing it, I like how the combats set up.
And might work out well as a full game mod. I'm sure someone could figure something out.

IIRC there was/ is a group of 'Coats working on an Oblivion mod/ conversion for Firefly. Used to be a thread around here somewhere about it. Memory serves, there may have been some talk about trying a different engine, though. Oblivion's an excellent game (all I seem to do in my free time is play that and hang out here :), but I think they may have been running into trouble with getting firearms to work and like? Wasn't following terribly close, though, too technical for me.
Come to think, there's a couple groups working on various 'verse mods to different engines. Privateer comes to mind, and I'm sure there's a couple others as well.
Anyways, I'd add more to this discussion, but I think I've already added my two cents and more here... :)

Nope not vaporware just taking longer than expected. I think we are about 2/3rds done with Part 1 (of probaly 4), the 1st 2 or 3 years of Mal's life after the war. Most of the ships for the Alliance fleet are done (still got a few fighters and 3 capital ships to finish), I got a bunch of civilian ships to do, and the outfits need a lot of work (especially balancing of the weapons). The link to our forum is in my sig, we don’t really have a website yet (maybe something when part 1 is done) but you can see renders of stuff in the “Ship Rendering” thread.
We are open to anyone who wants to help.
