German game-maker Bigpoint has just announced its forthcoming MMORPG based on the SyFy Channel's popular Battlestar Galactica reimagining. The company, owned in part by NBC Universal which also owns SyFy and consequently the Galactica brand, plans on releasing the game later this year. Bigpoint representatives broke the news at GDC today.
"We believe in the value of IP, and the second thing we believe in is cross-platform," said Bigpoint CCO Nils-Holger Henning. Hit the link to read the full write-up courtesy of Gamasutra's Christian Nutt.
Stay tuned to Massively this week as we'll have an interview with Bigpoint and more details as GDC rolls on.

And another IP goes down the drain.
How much do people want to bet that this is going to be even worse than STO?

"releasing the game later this year" - rushed
"the second thing we believe in is cross-platform" - lame
"all games must be browser-based without download installation, games you can play from any device you want" - not even a real game
Disappointing

They said MMO, not MMORPG.
Could be a top down, pay-by-text-message game with a top-down view...like WoW or EQ it will not be.
