A new role-playing game aiming to bring fans of the science fiction TV series Firefly back into the space western universe is counting down to a big launch in 2015, nearly 12 years after the show went off the air. Firefly Online allows each player to act as the captain of a ship, making decisions and hiring a crew. Within the context of the game, the recruited crews actually remember the way the captain treats them, and based on that information, they might be more or less willing to cooperate with future commands. Firefly Online will provide a robust single-player experience, but with plenty of additional features that allow players to interact with other captains throughout the ‘Verse. You’ll even be able to create “jobs” (Firefly Online’s equivalent of quests) for other players to enjoy. And the game allows you to customize your ship. Will the Big Damn Heroes be in the game? YES!! And while you don’t get to play them, you and your crew will have many chances to interactive with them and maybe even cooperate on a job or two. So far Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, Morena Baccarin, Ron Glass and Sean Maher have all recorded their parts, with the rest scheduled to record in the near future. Mal (played by Nathan Fillion) and Inara (played by Morena Baccarin) even have a love story in the game, like they did in the TV show. space/27407-firefly-online-game.html?cmpid=558394
