Stargate Worlds

As an avid fan of Stargate SG-1 (I own 8 of 10 dvd box sets) and watch all 10 seasons of the show I think this mmo has a huge potential to be the Game of the Year 2008 if they do it right. When I mean do it right means the classes should be balanced or if they opt for the classless system the abilities should be interesting and varied. I think the game has the potential to offer really unique game play by incorporating problem solving mini-game and since the stargate has the potential to visit almost unlimited number of worlds its easy for the developers to add interesting stargate lore/quest/adventures and worlds to visit and explore as well as make new friends and enemies.

I too like the series (I like Stargate Atlantis even more than SG-1) and that makes me interested in playing this game.  But like you say, it has to be made right or it will just be another game that I tried but was disappointed in.

I haven't read a whole lot about it, I hope they are going to include the Pegasus galaxy along with our own and have the wraith in there as well as the go'uld.

As far as classes go, it seems to me that it would make more sense to have you character acquire abilities instead of choosing a class.  Although I could see a possible class system work too.  You could choose to be a soldier, scientist, doctor, etc.  I'll be keeping my eye on this game's progress.

I can tell you that i like the production team and i like the unreal engine.I think these guys got some skills however the series just doesn't have the following as other big name comics  or big name movies.I am afraid that no matter how good it might be this game will struggle a ton to get the playerbase.I mean i can prettymuch guarantee from what i have seen so far that these guys will blow the socks off any korean piece of junk but they just don't have the following/playerbase or formulae to gather the masses.They also lack the huge marketing ,like AOC and WAR has.Those two games already have a huge following and there game isn't even out yet,sheer hype and marketing is why.

The playerbase right now is VERY simplistic,by that i mean give them some PVP ,some water/fire/earth skills to raise and there happy.It doesn't matter if the games only content is go kill 10 orcs the whole game they don't care.It doesn't matter if the mapping work is very second rate wich ALL korean type games are ,look previous statement,that's all they want.Throw in some character customization and wowsers you got a huge playerbase.Then make the game real easy to level/F2P and again there hooked.The devs now are stooping to such low standards they are even offering dbl xp weekends that kind of stuff.Like i pointed out the players want it all hand fed to them real easy like.

This is really too bad because a production team like the stargate worlds guys might put out a ton of content and make a real classy game ,but right now peeps want simple and easy.I do hope  the best for the stargate team but there gonna need a stratedgy that outweighs there game.

With no PVP it will be big alright.. A big bust.

Just to think a movie/tv series all about violence, strugles, and different species fighting each other (exp the TV series) and yet they will have no pvp in this game.

Thats like watching Carter and Co go through the gate in season one and go sight seeing with all the Goa'uld infested humanoids of that said planet.

Thank god they are making another Stargate series, 2 dvd movies, and possible 2 original movies.  Because this is another Horizons in th making.

Honestly, I am for any new MMOROG that isnt Fantasy based.

There is a poor showing in todays current Sci Fi MMORPG market. Make one Sci Fi game thats good and youll see a huge number of players flock to it.

Torrential

Is it true that they will show a trailer of the game with the new season premier of SG atlantis today at 10 PM on the sci-fi channel?

And are you serious there will not be pvp? wtf

No PvP in Stargate? WTF ^^? I thought you could choose allot of Factions and i can't belive you can't kill a Jaffar as a SG Team guy ... :P.

For ANY and i mean ANY game to enter into PVP just because the little kids ask for it ,is a total waste of time ,it can NOT be done right,and why bother if it is only going to be stupified just for the sake of having it.

If you want PVP go play unrealtournament or QUake they are the 2 best PVP games ever made,that is if you are a true PVP'r like you seem to come across as being?The problem with a true PVP game like these 2 is that they are defined by actual skill,you won't be able to gank up on a lower level player wich any 5 yr old could do.BTW  i am a VERY good PVP'r and enjoy it a ton in unrealT but i can't stand all these games using stupified PVP in there games.
