I was in the Blue Sun Room and I saw an image, someone had made a Firefly game cover for xbox.
This has given me an idea, picture games like EVE online, Roma Victor, Battlefield 2, CoD2, all the interactive features in them put together in a Role Playing, Action Adventure game "Firefly".

What if we could buy it, install it, register an account, log in, create a character and select a home planet.
Then its from that point we have to shape our character's life.

Either find a ship, or crew to join or buy a ship and start your own crew. Take jobs as they come, or if you can, set up your own buisness or corperation.
You could even join the Alliance as a bounty huner or Fed. Rise through the ranks and Captain your a Warship.
Avoid or Fight Reavers.

The game could be online so Crews could be made up of real players.
Design and build your own ships or buy them and upgrade them.
Ships could include the Firefly class Transport.

Before you have enough money to buy your own ship, you could take jobs on your planet first.

Now the part where it includes the interactive features of Battlefield 2 and CoD2. Well what I mean is the Vehicle usage and the Terrain and tactical usage. It could be FFS or 3rd person, or both, walk about your ship, board other ships, and on planets, buildings.
Use hover cars, quad bikes, fed drop ships or any other vehicles in Firefly and Serenity. Use Grappling hooks or equipment which you could buy to do missions and jobs.

Hell you might even have to get a crew member out of jail. You could even be chased by players who chose to play as the Feds.

So what do you say, pressure gaming companies to take this into consideration?

Yeah, when I saw Serenity, I thought 'There must be a video game oft this out there somewhere' and I was shocked there wasn't. You said it well, though, we should have a game. But not a crappy one.

My dad has a game from the early 90s on his shelf called Privateer ... he says its sort of like Serenity, but it sadly wont run on any of our computers. Besides, there's no preachers, companions, or even happy mechanics, so i was a little bummed.

So, well said... In my compy class we are going to being RPG programming so maybe I can conjure up a one-player game for now.

That would be the only game I would play online. Not into them so much, but one like you suggest would get me even less sleep than I get now.

The game Neverwinter Nights can be modified by the players and I know that there is a firefly mod out there. It could be very fun with good roleplaying. I know I would play.

I was thinking something like a cross between,
"Face of Mankind"
http://www.fomportal.com/

"Eve online"
http://www.eve-online.com/

"Pirates of the Caribbean"
http://pc.gamezone.com/gamesell/p21729.htm
(But in Serenity life)

with the interactive features of Battlefield 2(Vehicles and stationary weaponary features), Call of Duty 2(jumping over walls and through windows etc..)

Basicly what I have in mind is a 3rd person(can switch between that and first person) Role Playing, Action Advanture game.
Create your character and develop his/her skills and inventory as you find your way through the Firefly Vers.

Kwl, my dad might have contracts with EA soon (hopefully) afew complications with work and no payment (so atm money issues are desperate) but I could try and put through a few ideas if it all goes well.

I've been looking for a game to give me that sorta Firefly felling.... nothing really hit the exact spot. But if you want some space fun I can recommend the following:

Independence War 2
Starlancer
Freelancer
X-2 The Threat
X-3 Reunion

Anyways, I once wanted to start a Firefly Computer RPG by using Realm Crafter. You could actually get a game up running pretty quickly without even need to know how to program. The scripting is an easy version of Basic, so it takes no time to learn. I might start a project later on, but right now, I'm not gonna start anything.

Yea, its basicly all these sort of games, a game which allows you to be free almost, a game wich allows you to choose what you want to be and allows you to shape that, become a crew member, mechanic, doctor, mecinary, captain, i maen become a fed or politician, buisnesman, govenor of ur own little world. lol

Something like that which allows you to fly in space, walk and run on the ground, walk around ur ship. Fight onboard ur ship or on the ground or hell maybe even in spacesuits lol.

In x-2 you have you spaceships. Only time your out of your spaceship is when you flying around in your spacesuit :D Actually pretty cool. I'd just like the ability to around walk around inside your ship... talking with your crew and stuff. Would be awesome.
