Battlestar Galactica to frak up XBLA, PCs

Indeed. Beyond the red line (the freespace 2 mod) is cool game, even though it is still a demo it has multiplayer capabilities! Check out the 9th battlestar group if you want to meet people to fly with: http://www.majesticsites.net/BSG9

Ya well I would rather have a XBL one insted.

There's already a BSG space sim in the works as a MOD of the open-sourced Freespace 2 engine: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=freespace+bsg www.game-warden.com/bsg

The Galactica game on the original X-Box sucks unfortunately due to really poor mission structure. The missions are incredibly long and you lack the ablilty to instantly target mission critical items. You can play a mish for 45 minutes only to have a raider that you couldn't target take out a primary, then you have to do the whole thing all over again, no checkpoints. Apart from that though the flight mechanics mechanics and on the fly weapons managment were pretty good. The designs of the centurions in the cut scenes of the original game had been revised from the original 80's show, and looking at them now you can almost see the evolution of the original centurion to the game, and then to the new killing machines that they have in the current series. I wonder if there's a link? I absolutely love the new series. The old had a place in my heart having grown up with it and upon hearing of the new one, I had trepidations, I was expecting yet another of my childhood icons was about to be destroyed, (Yeah I'm looking at you George Lucas!). I'm please to say it's easily the best drama on TV at the mo. I'm keen to see what they do for this "lite" game.

That show is pretty damn good. My brother is addicted to it, and I used to think he was a dork. But its actually good. Hopefully the game will be too.

Farscape said "Frell," not "Frack," I'm a nerd and proud!

BSG is awesome- i just hope the game is as good as the show!

Sweet. I like being able to download missed episodes of my favorite series on XBOX Live! It's cheaper than boxed DVD sets, and many of the shows are in high-definition. I wish more of them were HD, but it's a good start. I keep hearing how nice Battlestar Galactica is, so maybe it would be worth downloading and checking out...

Holy crap bsg is such a good show, and starbuck is hot.

there is a battlestar galactica game for the orginal X-Box that is pretty good.

Yeah.. while Ive been wanting a BSG Space Sim for quite a while, I'm pretty sure a downloadable game wont really be all that great.

I haven't even seen the show, is it any good?

When is Canada going to get the video love from marketplace? I watch the series but I'd still like to see this condensed short film.

Frak was first from Farscape? Not hardly, Frak was spoken extensively in the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica as an expletive. If Farscape was referencing it, it might've been a coincidence or (more likely) an intentional homage to the classic Galactica series. Trivia note: There was a second expletive from the original Galactica, felgercarb, which was used in the place of the s-word.

LOL and to think that FRAK was first from Farscape..LOL who knows...i think its got awsome potential...question is can it be done..

360 and PC games are becoming very synomonous

I love the show, but I'm definitely not holding my breath on this game.

This is some cool news.

I love BSG, one of my favorite (perhaps my favorite) tv show on TV, the suspense is great. Freerunner, I wont say anything about the 3rd season except that (as usual) is better than the 2nd, however there is a lot of stuff that is revealed so you should probably just watch it soon before someone accidently tells you what has happened. The schedule listing is on sci-fi.com I think. Back to the game, looks interesting, but I'm more interested in a BSG mmo hehe.

I keep hoping that since the new generation of television executives were raised on video games these guys will finally be able to tell the difference between a good game and a cheap attempt to co-brand their tv show. Time will tell.

HD episode day after of the showing please :D But this is sweet love BSG!

JLCrogue, teh reason they use frack instead of its actual counterpart is so that there will be no censoring, because even though we know what it means, in reality they are not saying anything, its just a made up word with a meaning we gave it...a kinf of a plausable deniability I guess....but anyway, I love Battlestar but have not been able to watch teh thrid season thats on right now because of work and school, I want a new 360 game (an actual game not an arcade) to be made!!!

I've recently started watching Battlestar Galactica (I saw the first couple episodes of season 1 when it first started, but I kept missing episodes), and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite shows. I'll definitely check this out when it gets released.

Yes, I love Battlestar Galactica, Sci-Fi rules!

I could understand the PC, but the 360? O_o

Why the frak do they say frak in the show!? It's the greatest show on television, but it would be better if they actually used the f word.

I'm not too interested.

Hmm....Sounds....very budget. That and I don't like buying games that I don't get a physical disk with. If they print it and sell it cheap at retail, then maybe. I am a big fan of the show.

Best article title ever, imo. Not holding out much hope that this'll be worth the time though.

This game will be a bust!

cool, i love that show... too bad the game has a very good chance of sucking. Most tv/movie based games do. Maybe we'll be lucky.

love the show, dont like xbox, make it for PS3 please!

a Galatica rpg would be sweet... I'll take this one too! my favorite show...

It'd be nice to have another quality space sims, since it's been years.Hopefully this won't be the half assed product i'm thinking it will be.

If it isn't an RTS, sorry, not interested.

the name of this article is just plain awesome
