Firefly MMO
I love my boyfriend, but he knows that if Joss Whedon showed up at my doorstep bearing flowers...you know. I love Joss Whedon. I love his work. I love his attitude. I love what he says about art and women and his work. I think Firefly was amazing - even better than Battlestar Galactica (which I also love, of course. But it doesn't have the Joss Whedon touch.) So I can't help being a little excited at the idea of an MMO set in the world of Firefly. I've had dreams about me and Zoe riding horses alongside spaceships along dusty canyons. I want to be excited about it! I want to believe that it will be like KOTOR, but MMO. That it would rule. But I'm just not sure. Multiverse is new technology and as far as I know, no products using it have launched yet. So, we'll see. But I can dream! Posted by jane at December 08, 2006 03:13 PM | TrackBackComments

Firefly definitely is better than BSG on characterization, but it's so short... I only started watching BSG because of the high reviews, but am disappointed... but since I started it, I can't stop (seems like a waste, no?). And the last thing the world needs is another MMO. (The second to last is yet another religion...) p.s. fire your spam filter. Posted by: hikaru on December 11, 2006 02:24 PM
Shiny? I don't think so... I too think Firefly is the best thing since sliced proverbial (BSG a close second), so much so that I used it as the codename (alas, nothing else) for a big game project I'm working on. Not to mention drawing inspiration from it for a number of other game and writing projects. But an MMO? I can't see it, and I'm not sure I want to! From a business perspective, wouldn't you want your MMO to have a larger audience, not a small niche, no matter how dedicated they are... And in a world where the characters are by far the strongest element, what good is drowning them out with hundreds or thousands of gamers who cannot or will not even type properly, yet alone come up with catchy plots and snappy dialogue. I was pondering just a few days ago what would be a deserving format for a Firefly game. Surely it would have to be something somewhat original, as the IP deserves that much. The best I can think of so far would be a cross between an RPG and an FPS - everything fast-paced, with a suitable balance of storyline, action and humour. And not one ounce of mining!

I'm tracking further news on this at http://fireflymmo.com/ - I'm optimistic about it so far, based on the responses and comments I've seen from Multiverse. Posted by: Drew Shiel on December 14, 2006 06:08 AM
