The news i’ve been waiting for, a decent Battlestar game!. now i wasn’t around to appreciate the original series on first viewing obviously, and never really got into it on re-runs either, but when the re-imagined version came out i was sucked into the whole universe. I still think that it was probably the best Sci-fi show in the last ten years. So i’m pretty excited about the new BSG game being released by Bigpoint. Its a browser based game, and will hit this “Fall”. Very little information is available at the moment but Universal’s Bill Kispert said this “Battlestar Galactica is a supremely gameable intellectual property, with compelling character classes, a fantastic array of ships and weaponry, multiple worlds, and a dramatic storyline, We are excited to work with Bigpoint – and our partners at Universal Cable Productions and Syfy – to bring an epic, accessible, and ‘always on’ BSG experience to fans of the franchise and online gamers alike”. Bigpoint CEO,Heiko Hubertz ( super name by the way ) added “Cooperation between Bigpoint and NBC Universal is a very important strategic step for us. Battlestar Galactica has a huge and passionate fan base. We are proud to be able to publish such an internationally famous title as one of our online games. For the first time ever, we’re relying completely on Unity in order to offer our users fantastic game graphics right in their browsers.”.
So there we have it, i have high hopes for this game… With such a rich universe it has all the credentials to be a great game… though that said it took Star wars 2 decades before a decent game came out in the name of Knights of the old republic!
