INTO THE FIRE

...After fourteen years.. BREAKING NEWS !!
First off, I’m not recommending, or even suggesting that you download this. This is just a FYI type of thing, as some B5 fans might find it of interest, and since news of this will break eventually, you may as well read it here as anywhere else….. "
Babylon 5 Into the Fire was a space combat simulator similar in design to the Wing Commander franchise. It would feature 3D Space combat- ranging from Dog fighting to capital ship-to-ship engagements whilst supplementing the story with FMV clips recorded on the set of the series using the actors and actresses from Babylon 5.
The music was composed by Christopher Franke and would utilize a full orchestral score both composed exclusively for the game alongside tracks from the series complete run.
The game was sadly canceled mere months before it's expected release.
This is the Pre-Alpha demo alongside the Combat Alpha Demo which were both featured at E3 '99.
Story
"The Babylon 5 Space Combat Simulator begins on the third anniversary of the Interstellar Alliance — two years after the end of Season 5. Aside from one brief conflict with the Centauri Republic early in its first year, ISA President John Sheridan has delivered on his promise to keep the peace among its member worlds."
"But behind the scenes, away from the bright lights of news hover-cams, trouble is brewing. Races that have been at peace during the last two years are starting to fight over borders and the rights to new technologies. Random attacks on shipping lanes are growing in number. There are troubling reports of powerful, unidentified warships near the rim. It could be nothing at all—paranoia because things have been going along so well? Or it could be exactly what it looks like... trouble."
