BSG Online is a 3D browser based MMO made using the 3D Unity Engine. It looks like the trailer is done using in game assets, etc, though I'd eat my hat if a browser based engine could have that level of in game motion blur. :lol
Still it looks pretty fantastic.

Battlestar Galactica is over, but that doesn't mean NBC is done cashing in. They're teaming up with Bigpoint to launching Battlestar Galactica Online, a browser-based massively multiplayer game set in the popular universe.
"Battlestar Galactica is a supremely gameable intellectual property, with compelling character classes, a fantastic array of ships and weaponry, multiple worlds, and a dramatic storyline," said vice president and general manager of digital platforms for Universal Partnerships & Licensing Bill Kispert.
"We are excited to work with Bigpoint - and our partners at Universal Cable Productions and Syfy - to bring an epic, accessible, and 'always on' BSG experience to fans of the franchise and online gamers alike."
The new game will feature tactical space combat and mission-based gameplay, bringing to mind Cryptic's Star Trek Online. It will also apparently be possible to choose between Cylon and Human, though whether you can play as one of the humanoid models is unclear.

We'll probably learn some more in the next few days. We'd previously been hearing 2010 release window. I wonder if it will bsaically be a dogfight game, it would be funny if Syfy etc actually managed to get a competent BSG flights game out before the fan community that started working on things when the show was practically brand new. :lol
