I recently got into a discussion with a friend of mine regarding how some shows and movies have a great potential for a video game if the developer takes the time to make it right.
I think Firefly would make for an awesome game. It's a sci-fi western with a high-tech and controlling government and the occasional group of space canibals. I mean, how is there not a game based on this show already? Set the game up like a crossbreed between Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect where you can choose to either obey the Alliance or rebel against them. The planets would be taken right from the show and you can fly your ship to locations such as Whitefall and Ariel. I can already see the list of achievements/trophies you can unlock after playing.
Big Damn Heroes 100g - Beat the game on the hardest difficulty
I Aim To Misbehave 20g - Finish the first mission
I Call Her Vera 10g - Kill 50 enemies with a rifle/smg
I Was Aiming For His Head 10g - Shoot 20 enemies in the knee
Darn... 5g - Kill a man by throwing him into a ship engine
