Why isn't this based off the good Battlestar Galactica series?

Both series are magnificent in their own right, so your question is gonna have to be more specific...

The game is taking place in the first cylon war and this era has been heavily influenced by the first series.. Eventhough the old one had lasers.. both are awesome

The new one had some nice T&A and some shiny CG, but let's be honest here. That kind of stuff is only nice to look at for the first viewing. The original is the one you go back to more than once since, you know, it didn't have the incredibly disjointed, nonsensical plots, the ridiculously flawed overdramatized characters, and well, the less said about the ending the better.

Both series have their flaws, the old one is terrible cgi wise and wasn't meant to be finished so early and the way it ended, the old series feels a little rushed and they didn't have the budget to make it look as awesome as it could have(eventhough the cgi was on point but scenes had to be reused in order to cover every battle etc.). While the new series got some pretty pointless episodes and some people argue about the ending being bad(eventhough I personallyl iked it). Both series are awesome.

Alright guys, just agree to disagree and move on. We don't need Colonial infighting while being murdered by Cylons at the same time.

Oh you mean the one with lasers, cloaking vipers, and 70's Porno movie sets? The new series provided problems the original didn't address, water shortage, food shortages... mutanies , personal conflict. All of which would realistically happen in any enviroment.

I dunno what you complaint about. You have the TOS Battlestars ALONGSIDE the new ones. Wich means 2 different, albeit same, Columbia class Battlestars. Only stuff missing are the CANON Firestars, Guardians, Strikestars and so on. They where used throughout the war extensivly. Plus a note to the dev's : Cylons never used Hacking prior to the second war, where the colonials ACTUALY got that much more technological advanced. Ya may be able to hack something like the FTL computer yet no weapons, no marine quaters, not even the engine systems of those old ships. Their 99% analog and galactica (Still a Columbia class ship, it was NEVER said ONCE during the new serie that the name of the class changed) retained that throughout the new serie (albeit at the end she got network for the cylon upgrades to even work and make the jump to earth even remotly posible). Hell they even gave us the old viper , wich is now the Viper MK1 (albeit its stronger armored and faster than the MK2 wich is only more manouverable)

It is based on the good series.

Actually, according to the reimagined series, the Colonials reverted back to a lot of analog systems after the Cylons started hacking their ships left and right at the start of the war.

Remember, in the original series the Cylons were not created by the Colonials. In the new series, they are. The Colonials were advanced enough to create artificial intelligence, they had advanced computer systems. They just had to toss them out of the window when the Cylons began using them against mankind.

This is also the reason Cylons resorted to boarding Colonial craft. They could no longer remotely vent the ship and kill the crew, so they had to do it manually. The Cylons tried in season 2's Valley of Darkness and I recall someone commenting that the Cylons started doing it in the first war after they couldn't hack their way in anymore.

"CGI"? In the original BSG? Are you serious? Kids these days :)

The term you are looking for is special effects/optical effects. Back in the day all of that footage was done using film and it was much harder and more expensive than the a lot of the digital effects of today.

actually, cgi was invented a couple of years before the original bsg was released, so its pretty rational to assume some of the scenes were cgi, just like how a couple of the original star wars scenes were also cgi, which is a year younger than bsg.

robo new one is better. Old one is so full of cheese it's hard to watch these days.
New on has physics and weapons variety as well as ship variety the old one did not have I don't think. It also has electronic warfare in the form of computer hacking.
