PtoPOnline has another video of the cancelled game based in the SG-1 universe, this time showing a large portion of a mission where the Beta Site is attacked by Jaffa.
With the exception of the third-person shooter, Stargate: Resistance, and a cancelled MMO by the name of Stargate: Worlds, gamers haven’t had much opportunity to explore the rich Stargate universe within the medium of gaming.
Great article. I also love Stargate, and really wish we had more games from this awesome IP. I was in the Alpha for Stargate Worlds. It was really ambitious, had a ton of things they wanted to do, and even with the bugs in the Alpha grouping up was fun and exploring the worlds they had open at the time was great. Lots of bugs, but that’s to be expected of an Alpha. Had fun reporting all of the bugs as well, some hilarious and others game breaking. Then, all of a sudden, we got an email thanking us for our time, but it was over and gone. Bam! Oh well... What could’ve been...
We need a AAA studio to pick one of these up, because there's lots of opportunity because every world can be different. I mean even if Ubisoft picked it up, they could outsource several of the worlds to their different studios and it would still work.
Allan Muir of ToasterChimp posits the question, are games based on the Stargate franchise cursed?
PtoPOnline is continuing their coverage of the cancelled Stargate SG-1 : The Alliance with a short, unedited clip of Michael Shanks as Thor, plus the rest of SG-1.
I too miss Stargate.. one of my favorite shows.. would have been nice to see this game materialize in to something for gamers..
I was really looking forward to playing this. As a Stargate fan and after playing it at e3 all those long years ago.
I read that massive article from a few months ago and was saddened, first by the fact that I didn't even know about this game, but more by the fact that I'll never get to play it. It seemed like it had a good story and it showed that care was taken to treat it right and not like many slap-out franchise releases. It was cool that all the actors were doing the voices too.
