The demo will highlight the Unity engine technology that will drive Battlestar Galactica Online game experience and demonstrate how the game's browser-based platform will reach the huge global audience already playing browser-based MMOGs on Bigpoint.com and through Bigpoint's many popular distribution partners.
"We are very excited to demonstrate to our friends in the media attending E3 Expo that Bigpoint and our partners at NBCU and Syfy are intent on creating a compelling gameplay experience that is available to anyone with a browser worldwide without a huge download," explains Heiko Hubertz, CEO and founder of Bigpoint. "Battlestar Galactica Online will be an accessible, story-driven experience that will be executed to the highest level of quality for the browser-based platform. It's our most ambitious project ever and we want fans of the show to know that we are committed to delivering."
Players will be able to choose to play as cylons or humans in a constant struggle to control the universe or just survive its perils. A blend of tactical space combat, exploration, and mission-based gameplay will provide a diverse experience. The dramatic missions will define the game's overall storyline, enabling the player to delve into mysteries of the Battlestar universe. Battlestar Galactica Online will create a new standard for web games, with beautiful 3d graphics and innovative game mechanics bringing a new level of game play to browser based MMOG. Assets from the television production will be integrated into the game to deliver an even more authentic experience.
