Buffy the Vampire Goes Virtual
Twentieth Century Fox (http://www.foxstudios.com/) and The Multiverse Network (http://www.multiverse.net/) have come together to develop an original "Buffy the Vampire" MMOG. This was announced by Jon Landau a producer and member of the Multiverse Advisory Board during his keynote speech at the Virtual Worlds Conference and Expo.
The ground-breaking MMOG will offer a new experience for gamers, allowing them to play it either as a fully immersive 3D environment or as a Flash-based 2D game, where both types of players can interact. The game will be launched within "Multiverse Places," a new social virtual world from Multiverse. Currently under development, "Buffy" will go into "beta" testing later this year.
"As a brilliant storyteller and world-maker, Joss Whedon crafts stories that expand perfectly into the new medium of virtual worlds," said Corey Bridges, co-founder and Executive Producer, Multiverse. "Not to give away too much, but when the ’Buffy’ team finished the television series, they created the perfect launching point for an MMOG where everyone will feel
like they’re an important character in the ongoing story."
Um...Really?:confused:

Firefly MMOG Development ’delayed’
Apparently Joss Whedon and Fox believe that Buffy is a stronger license than Firefly. Whedon, the creator of both series, must be too busy working on getting Multiverse up to speed on the Buffy universe to bother with his other property that has been a long-awaited MMOG.
Unfortunately the Firefly MMOG development is being delayed but Fox says it will push forward. With the recent announcement of the Buffy MMOG (http://www.gamersdailynews.com/story-4259-Buffy-the-Vampire-Goes-Virtual.html) in devo at Multiverse I have to believe that Fox and Whedon have agreed to focus on the vampire slaying cash cow before they risk the lesser known sci-fi ’western’ Firefly.
The Firefly franchise story was wrapped up in the Serenity feature length film but fans still clamor for more. The game announcement was received with much hollerin’ and gun shootin’ skyward by fans. But with the announced delay we’ll have to just hang in there, like we always do.
Take me out to the black, tell ’em I ain’t comin’ back.
