I'm new here so this thread might have already been done lol. Anyhow I was just wondering if you guys think FFO will ever be released or if it's dead. For me I am starting to lose a bit of hope because they have stated they will no longer be updating their Facebook page and also everybody (including me) who asked if the game was canceled was blocked off liking or commenting on their page. They also do not update their twitter anymore and the Cortex hasn't been updated since summer of last year. So i'm just curious am I being a bit too cynical or do you think it's possible this game is dead. I don't know what you mean about the liars thing but I agree with you that it might be a bust.

Firefly Online Cortex. All Discussions Screenshots Artwork Broadcasts Videos News Guides Reviews. Firefly Online Cortex General Discussions Topic Details. May 11, 2016 @ 8:52am Firefly Online Has Been Cancelled You heard it here, first, folks. Unless - of course - someone would like to provide irrefutable proof to the. They also do not update their twitter anymore and the Cortex hasn't been updated since summer of last year. A Spanish website posted an article that happened to mention Firefly Online and they said that the game is in the final developmental stages. Android the current two week delay due to change in download management software.

For some reason they got really pissed at us for asking if the Beta was being released. There was supposed to be a Beta release for people who bought the Big Damn Heroes pack that game with the cortex. Well they started deleting the comments of the people who asked when the beta was releasing and then they just sent out a message saying 'Because our input is being so ignored management has decided that we will no longer be updating this page anymore'. They haven't updated their twitter in about 5 days and they haven't released really any gameplay at all except an 11 second trailer of Serenity touching down. They have released a ton of screenshots though but still they won't really tell us anything.

It's actually two years overdue. The original release date on the game was Summer 2014 and then they pushed that back to January of 2015 and then Summer 2015 and now we've heard nothing. They keep telling us that they are with us and that they are still flying but I personally think the game is dead. I commented on another person's post down below yours with the comment sent out on facebook.

Basically they got really pissed off at everyone for asking when the beta was being released. They were supposed to release a beta only for people who bought the Big Damn Heroes pack on the Cortex app but that hasn't happened. Well they deleted all of the comments and blocked all the people (including me) asking when that beta will release and then they wrote this comment 'Since out input is being so ignored management has decided we will no longer be updating this page'.

However this guy called 'Mech' who supposedly works for QMX keeps saying that the game is being made and it's on track. They haven't released any trailers except the SDCC one, the actor ones, and the 11 second trailer of Serenity touching down. The thing is the hype is really big because QMX has sold out of all the FFO t-shirts and stuff. I'm wearing my Wash Lives one right now. It will really be tragic if this game is dead in the water.

They have released a ton of screenshots though but still they won't really tell us anything.They probably think the BP's announcement was enough to stop people from complaining about it being years now since they claimed they were creating the game. I read posts at another site about how someone on the inside of the game's development, had someone very established as a creator of Firefly props banned from a chat room they use to speak to each other.

He did this because the second person called into question the first persons credibility on delivering promised product in a timely manner. I agree I just don't get why they are being so closed lipped about this or even so mean. Metal assault gameplay. All they could've done was posted an entry saying 'we're making the game don't worry it's coming soon' and that would've been enough. Instead they keep blocking everybody who has an interest in their game and wants to know the progress.

Instead of the Independents it seems this game company is more like the Alliance. Let's just get rid of anyone who asks too many questions about Miranda lol except now it's let's get rid of anyone who asks too many questions about the game. The right thing to do would even to tell everyone 'look we don't know if this will be released it's getting harder and harder so don't get your hopes up' and that would've been great too but instead it's all one big secret.

They have said that Fox is a big part of the game so i'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you.

Might be waiting for some pieces of the puzzle to line up. Story of a freakin' Browncoat I can't imagine just updating the look of the planets for no reason.Of the screenshots that they've released lately the game looks great and I mean that. It looks on par with some stuff being released for consoles these days.

However I just wish they would tell us something but they've been so tight lipped and even a bit mean about the whole thing (management I mean). The only people who have been giving us something is a person or persons named 'Mech' or 'The Mechanic' on KeepFlying.com and even they haven't released a whole lotta stuff.

They've just shut us out and they've shut out the people who really matter which are the Browncoats. The thing is they have so many plans with the game or at least they did but they haven't said anything.

They actually talked about releasing it on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in the future if the game becomes as big as WoW. Thing is the game is available on IOS and Android as a mobile game and it's of the same quality as the PC version so it's not a stripped version of the game. They've said it will be the exact same version so i'm wondering how complex this game really is. I mean it can't be super powerful or require a super powerful computer if the same exact game can be played on an IPhone. I don't know I mean i'll keep holding out hope like a true Browncoat but I have to be honest i'm doubting that this game is coming out or anytime soon. We may be lucky to get a 2017 release if it comes out at all and we still have to look at the possibility that this may end up being another Aliens: Colonial Marines. If you don't know that story, Aliens: Colonial Marines was so hyped and it got pushed back like 2 years and then when it was finally released the game was horrible.

It was buggy, the graphics were bad, the AI was moronic, etc. Basically everything you could possibly that could be bad in a videogame Colonial Marines had it.

It's possible FFO may end up being the same though I hope not. Right now from what they've said about the story and stuff it's basically a videogame version of the board game by Gale Force Nine 'Firefly The Game.

You find a crew, get jobs, pay your crew, give them shore leave, keep flying,etc. I hope your right that they are still working on it but I mean they've been a little too closed mouth about this and they haven't even released an estimated Beta date. Not a release date but a Beta release date. We don't even know when the beta will release and also they've shut down BDH and in-app purchases. Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you. If I had to guess, I'd guess that executing their vision is proving to be more trouble, more time, and more expense than anticipated.

Does that mean we'll never see the game? Looks pretty cool from what we've seen. Honestly, they may have shut down social media as a cost-saving effort.

It's probably a drop in the bucket compared to programming, but at least it's SOMETHING. I know the folks working on the MMO have worked with the game designers for the boardgame - the two new ship packs (Jetwash and Esemralda) were designed in concert and included an ad for the MMO. Further, the team behind the boardgame (GF9) has implied that new boardgame content we see in 2016 will be related to the MMO. Not sure if that adds anything to the discussion, but to me, I sort of get the impression of a wounded team limping along trying to complete a labor of love that has become bigger and more problematic than expected. To me, until they give a SPECIFIC release date (not a quarter or even a month), I'll hold out hope but I won't hold my breath. Meanwhile, I've got the boardgame to play.:).

I'm the same way. I won't hold my breath but i'll hold out hope though. The boardgame is my favorite to play I love it and it really feels like Firefly so I'm cool just playing the boardgame lol.

I agree with the limping analogy, I think the game has gotten too big even for them. When they first released the full length trailer 'If I were a captain' the graphics were WoW quality. They were okay for an MMO.

Now I've seen screenshots of the cutscenes and the quality is that of a PS4 game. I mean Mal in the game looks exactly like Nathan Fillion down to the way his hair moves and same with Kaylee and all the other members. I think the game has gotten way to big and way to complex but I think they are still trying (at least that's what i'll tell myself to make me feel better lol). Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you.

Eh I still think it's a mean move to keep it from the fans who caused this game to be made. I mean without the Browncoats like us we never would've had Serenity and we definitely wouldn't have a videogame. To me it just seems mean to block and delete everybody who asks (politely I might add nobody on the facebook page or twitter was ever mean) when the release date will be for the game. Most of the people on Facebook weren't even asking for the base game but for the beta which is only available to a select group of people. I'm still holding out hope!

It does look amazing and I really hope the game didn't break the catalyzer on the main compression coil and ended up drifting never to be heard from again. Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you. Game development cycles can get lengthy, especially when the game's engine is being built from scratch. FFO, sounds like it's using two graphics engines; one for the space flight, and the other for the ship interior and ground RPG parts. That's even more stuff to hammer bugs out of. Of the entities, the developer (Sparkplug) or the publisher (FOX Interactive); according to my PCGamer Jan 2001 article 'Where Does Your Money Go?'

, the PR dept, them's that would probably run the facebook and twitter accounts would be on the publishers end. If they're going silent, they're not doing their job. Perhaps the reason we're not hearing much is because the developers aren't adding so much new content, as they are play testing and bug squishing. If we don't hear anything or see any type of progress (more demo vids or pics) by May, I will personally go into full fledged panic mode followed by more depression. Find here the Serenity you seek.Tara Maclay. There's been a new breakthrough in home game marketing: Instant Cancelation.

The games are canceled before they're even finished. On a more serious note, I'm beginning to develop a doubt. Last serious activity was, what, 2013?! There were some recent scribblings (December 2015) that may point to the project not being entirely dead (or maybe just kept on life-support, so as not to have to bring the bad news). But I hold out little hope. Then again, as another fave Captain of mine once said, 'I've never known Hope when it wasn't on a diet.' Dibs on 'Curse their sudden, but inevitable betrayal!'

Quote:Originally posted by BRANDXS: here,s the latest info I can find. Interview withjohn o'neil january 2016That particular article was already posted above but it's actually not the latest.

A Spanish website posted an article that happened to mention Firefly Online and they said that the game is in the final developmental stages. I was lucky to be able to chat with Tybee Diskin (she's scar in Fallout Nuka Break and she's also in the Firefly Fan Film 'The Verse') and she was confident the game was still on schedule since the DLC is still active. The DLC is that you get the Overland ship used in 'The Verse'. She's pretty confident everything is on schedule so i'm still holding out hope. However I think it's a really nasty move on the developers part that they won't tell us anything.

I can understand not wanting to get fans hopes up but I mean Browncoats are the lifeblood of this game and they are totally leaving us out. I think that's a really jerk move and i'm not too happy about it. I also mentioned that they made it a point on their facebook page to block anyone who asked when the beta was releasing (the beta was to be released last year and then was pushed back to this January which never happened).

I'm still holding out hope because of Tybee Diskin's confidence and that the DLC, Cortex, and website are still active. Soccer spirits for pc. I also liked that the spanish article (dated this month) stated the game is still being made. I'm more afraid that when the game does come out after all this anticipation and waiting it may actually end up sucking.

Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you. From what have heard from Mech is that fox issued a gag order to them. Some of you might be aware that fox recently had a regime change and a lot of TV projects were killed that were pet projects of the last guy. I don't know if that impacted the game or not.

I also heard fox is being a dick with the IPO and we should spam fox to move forward. I don't think it's the game developers who are at fault. And fox is all about money. I would suggest doing what we did to get the movie made a would help here. Write fox folks and demand the game. I have already done so.

Just my thoughts on it all. Quote:Originally posted by neoncoyote: From what have heard from Mech is that fox issued a gag order to them.

Write fox folks and demand the game. I have already done so. Just my thoughts on it all.First, I don't think there are nearly as many passionate browncoats now as there were right after the cancellation. Second, from what I've heard it's kind of a myth that browncoats got Universal to make a movie.

The movie was already greenlit before the first campaigns started. All we did was encourage them to make a bigger deal about it. Really it was Joss who did all the work to get the movie greenlit.

Nothing wrong with being passionate and fighting for something you love, but these campaigns are a long shot and rarely pay off.
