That’s right, every serious nerd (myself included) on earth just wept at least one tiny tear of joy.
Battlestar has come to represent the pinnacle of contemporary sci-fi television, so what better IP to use for a massively multiplayer online video game?<\/p>\n
Rights holder NBC today announced that a “client-free” “browser-based” MMO is currently being developed, and it will feature “state of the art graphics”. I’m not really sure how that’s going to work, but my interest certainly is piqued.<\/p>\n
“Players will be able to choose to play as cylons or humans in a constant struggle to control the universe or just survive its perils. A blend of tactical space combat, exploration, and mission-based gameplay will provide a diverse experience. The dramatic missions will define the game’s overall storyline, enabling the player to delve into mysteries of the Battlestar universe. Battlestar Galactica Online will create a new standard for web games, with beautiful 3d graphics and innovative game mechanics bringing a new level of game play to browser based MMOG. Assets from the television production will be integrated into the game to deliver an even more authentic experience.”<\/p>\n
The game is set to be released in the final quarter of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
