To be a naysayer here, I don't think it's a good idea.

I'm a huge fan of the series as well as the movie. And quite frankly, though one could argue that world was not so fleshed out as to allow a game to capitalize on adding "new territory", it just doesn't have enough appeal to weather development costs and then to garner the subs.

Let Firefly be the successful yet not so "commercially" successful hit that it is.

But I wanne be a reaver!

And tie you to my spaceship's exterieur!... alife!

You never let me do anything fun!

How can you soar with eagles, when you work with turkeys.

The real challenge is to create a setting without any background, although Firefly has a TV show and a movie (perhaps novels, stories?). This is not so popular setting and that's why I wish the developers luck!

To ride a horse after you go out from a spaceship is a little weird, but sounds funny to me.

 BTW, I think that there is no gray side anywhere in the literature, movies, games or real life. There is no good and evil, only point of view. ;)

Its been awhile since I watched the series, I don't recall them riding horses out of the ship, even at all.  Sure there's quad bikes and the "Mule" transporter (hovercraft thing in the film).

Perhaps we should watch the series again.........i certainly feel like a "Firefly / Serenity" night coming on hehe.

With regards to popularity,  some would argue that Fox didn't give the series enough advertisement time which lead to the feeling that its not popular. 

Given that it was Fox's idea to cancel the show about half way through the series, it explains why the series didn't get much coverage at the time.  Had Fox felt otherwise, no doubt it would have gotten a much bigger advertisement budget and air time like Heroes.

But I digress, its a big undertaking to make a game which covers both land and space based action.  It still think it requires a LOT of design time and background development, otherwise it will be a waste.
