XBLA?  Doesn't sound like it'll be the sort of opus we're all expecting from BTRL.

Remember someone saying there would be a swathe of R-Type clones on XBLA once the dev kit was released  :lol:

Title: Battlestar Galactica: Official Game announced?
Post by: Darkblade on September 01, 2006, 01:49:45 pm

Something popped up on Vivendi Games' Investor Presentation. Battlestar Galactica game is coming out from Vivendi next year on PC and XB360. I sure hope they don't mess this one up or do the same thing what they did with Babylon 5: Into the Fire - Space Combat Simulator, almost finish the game and throw it into a garbage bin.

Honestly... I believe BSG FS2 mod will beat this game.

Yeah, they do. Havas was disbanded and then Vivendi was formed. Or that is how I think it went.

Bastards altogether.

All the more reason to get the demo out.

I recall RDM saying that there were plans for a game based on his BSG incarnation, but that it would be more like an RPG.

it might be the rather lackluster BSG game released for the xbox way back when.

it was made by the defunct Warthog development.
