Rumor (wired, slashdot, scifi wire) has it that the beloved TV show Firefly is about to reborn as a Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game. Shiny! Of course, I'm a bit wary. Most games based on licensed properties invariably suck (like Matrix Online). But there is a sliver of hope. Maybe I'll actually have time to play this one when it comes out. Then again, probably not.
I've been following this story as well and I can see the appeal if done right. I am definitely looking forward to Warhammer Online and might have to pick up a PC just to play it. I am also disappointed that all the reviews for NWN2 suck. I am disappointed that Shadowrun was turned into a crappy FPS by Bungie who I still haven't forgiven for being bought by the evil empire, Marathon was one of my favorite games for the Mac.

Ahhh..... Bungie. I was never a huge Marathon fan but Myth and Myth II rocked my world.
ReplyDeleteI am totally looking forward to Warhammer Online. We'll see if Mythic can do it right (they are just down the street from me and hired a bunch of people I used to work with).
