NBC Universal’s Syfy network and California-based game development company Trion World Network are about to revolutionize the way you watch TV shows and play video games. Spurred on by an investment from NBCU’s and GE Capital’s Peacock Equity fund — which invests in digital media companies in the venture capital space — the two are developing an online video game in tandem. As Lars Butler, CEO of Trion, says in the video below about the project, which has the working title One Earth: “In this unique set-up, we can do things that other people would never even dare before: create a video game world and a television show… They not only promote each other, they literally depend on each other and co-evolve.” Rob Hill, the senior producer for Trion, adds: “This project, in collaboration with Syfy, in and of itself, is completely different from anything I’ve worked on …Usually you have a game that’s based off of a book or television show or movie, or a movie that’s based off a game…. Some of the implications of what we are trying to accomplish here are to really be able to broaden the audience,” by bringing viewers from the show into the game and vice versa.

First look at One Earth. The game that will have a TV show stitched into its skin. They both will feed into each other back and forth or so that is the claim. They keep saying its a first for this game to be run just on servers as well so it could be in some conjunction with one of those Cloud gaming platforms as well. There is OnLive, FullCircle, and OTOY, and the others.

Where the name One Earth comes from I don't know. It is listed on Blues News as mentioned with One Earth being the title.
