Everyone knows that character development lacks compared to a real actor but what more do you guys want. Doing a TOS Galactica in animation would be huge. You could see a world develop in front of you that all of us want to see. In my eyes Galactica is the perfect venue for animation. Look no further than what Warthog did with the Galactica game.


I played the game from start to finish. The CGI Vipers, Raiders and space battles were excellent. This is a wise use of CGI. However human actors are needed to covey the story. Hatch had live actors in Second Coming. The only CGI actor was Lorne Greene in a hologram conveying Adama's last wishes. Tom DeSanto had live actors Dirk and Herb and possibly a few other old school BG actors reprising their roles.
