    I completely forgot that this had been announced ages ago, but they've released a trailer that shows a bit of gameplay footage and announced that the original cast have been signed up for it.

    PCGamer have a bit on it at the moment.

    It looks like it'll be like Jagged Alliance Online, with turn based combat maps as opposed to being the usually Wow style MMORPG. And although graphically it doesn't look great, I'm enough of a fan of the series that I'm willing to wait and give it a chance.

    Only watched the tv show for the fist time this year. This looks interesting though.

    Only thing that trailer makes me want to buy is Jayne's hat.

    May give it a go but Star Citizen is what I envisage as the ideal firefly fan game.

    Just pains me to see any Firefly based media that isn't a continuation of the series :P

    First bit of pre-alpha footage here, showing a derelict ship. http://www.pcgamer.com/firefly-online-gets-first-footage/

    It actually looks fine. Nice use of lighting. Hopefully there'll be more to it than just x-com style combat on various ship layouts. I do like the little description of how crewmates may hold a grudge against you.
