Just hoping, not trying to spread any rumors. I was playing Riddick: Escape from Butchers Bay on XBox.... fanTASTIC game, imo - the movie was pretty good too...But it lead me to thinkin... ( yes, once again.) Now that games are coming out more and more in conjunction with sci fi/ action movies as a means of cross marketing, anyone think that we could see a Firefly version? Oh please please please!

I hope not. They wouldl kill it. At least not the Serenity crew. Maybe a differnt crew. Kinda KOTOR-like, the rules and places, but different people or times. Make sense? I think there is RPG around here somewhere.

It wouldn't suprise me if they decided to come out with a video game tie-in to Serenity however I'm generaly disappointed with the quality of movie tie-in games as they're usually rushed to match the release date of the movie. Also if they made it I'm pretty sure it'd be released on all three consoles plus the pc and not just the Xbox.

Oh, how could I forget. Over commercialization of our precious Firefly 'verse would only cheapen it. What was I thinking ? Guess it's just the Blue Sun in me.

Based on the average game development cycle and the planned release date of Serenity, even if it were more a logical movie tie in to use(which its really not), it wouldn't be practical. They'd have only 9 months or so to develop a game, you just can't do that without it being crap.(generally)

Vivendi Universal (Universal's parent company) owns Sierra Stuidos, the geniuses behind Half-Life. If they were to develop a Serenity video game...

C'mon you guys, lighten up! Aren't you forgetting this whole Firefly phenom we're basking in? The kind of conventional wisdom that y'all are throwing up on the screen is exactly what Joss has dealt with and triumphed over. Sure most movie-based video games are the worst, but so's most network tv!

Anywayz, no way could a good game come out in 9 months, but over the course of the phenomenally successful trilogy? I could see a good game coming out with the second movie. I could totally see it marketed as a "lost episode," like maybe a prequal with Wash in his mustache and what's-his-name, the mechanic. All the voice acting would be from the original cast. Unlock the Book mini-game when from he was a stealth assassin!

If there is to be a firefly game it should be a fan written game. Probaly a mod of some existing game or possaby something written open source. Put it in the hands of this community and we will get a better game than any company can produce.

Agreed, Gunrunner. Even if it was something set in the universe it would be incredible.

I don't care, I'm still free.

I would like to see a game, but only if it was well thought out, graphics and playability were great, and the original cast did the voices of the characters.

I doubt we will see anything w/ the first movie, but if it is a success, who knows. We may have a game before the 2nd movie is released.
