Firefly Online Reunites Show's Cast, But Maybe Don’t Get Too Excited Yet
Yesterday at San Diego Comic-Con, the team working on a Firefly MMO announced that it was pulling the cast of the single-season Fox series together again. On the surface, that’s fantastic news. Unfortunately, the footage shown doesn’t inspire much confidence.
As we mentioned last year about this time, developer Sparkplug Games doesn’t have the most extensive pedigree. The studio has worked on hidden-object games and a licensed title for ice cream shop Dairy Queen.
The footage includes individuals who talk about what they would do if they were captain of their own ships. The visuals portrayed, which we take to be in-progress and in-engine aren’t terribly “shiny.”
There isn’t much information about the game other than it’s planned for PC, Mac, and mobile platforms. It’s allegedly coming soon, which means that what we see in this trailer is probably close to what we’ll get.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
