MGM, Firesky and the US Military have announced that Comic-Con goers will be able to see in-game footage of Stargate Worlds and have their picture taken with a life-size replica of a Stargate. In addition to the life-size Stargate, they will also have the opportunity to meet the developers.
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.
Back in 2008, I had a chance to play Stargate Worlds, a MMORPG based on the Stargate franchise, while the game was never released here are my thoughts on the game and what it had.
It was a game with a lot of potential. As a Stargate fan, the story just sounded great.
stargate was a very cheap tv show. no wonder an mmo with this setting never saw the light of day.
Such a shame. Maybe one day a developer will give this franchise the attention required to do it justice. Endless possibilities.
Kotaku: "It’s frankly ridiculous how close some games are to finished when they are cancelled - or, conversely, how vaporous they can be when they’re first shown."
I'm still completely bummed out about Prey 2 being cancelled. I still have sliver of hope that it is secretly being developed for current gen consoles though. I won't give up dammit!!.
I can't describe the disappointment I felt after the cancellation of 8 days and Coded Arms Assault......
Really hope against hope that this game rocks.
It looks okay but I won't get it just because they cancelled the shooter game on the PS2
ok it says "MGM, Firesky and the US Military have announced ...."
Someone please tell me what the US Military has to do with a sci fi tv show and game. They are dipicted on the Tv show but they as far as i know it is all fiction so WTF is the military taking any part in all this...... very strange
I disagree with u Lucreto....maybe they cancelled it cause they wanted to focus more on something that wouldnt turn into just another crap FPS game. yea it would be cool if they made a good Stargate FPS game but they probably had reasons to cancel. i would much rather have a game cancelled than to have it released and be another piece of junk no one wants to even look at. so if u are going to base ur decision to buy or even play a game on something like that then u are going to miss out on a lot in life lol
