Not sure why OP choose to place one of the first screenshots ever made public for the game. Perhaps to get the reaction we see from people who might not have seen it before?

 I know this game has had its obstacles as far as developement is concerned, but I have to hand it to the company. When it came down to do or die they found a way to move foreward. Hopefully they now have the means to achieve their goals. Good luck :-)

StarGate Worlds was the game I was anticipating to play as my next MMO. Unfortunatly, problems in developpement, poor quality graphics shown in screenshots and the uglyest SG1 props I even seen changed my mind.

Seeing all the goos thing Star Wars Old Republic offered for now like a full 20 minute gameplay, nice screenshots and an amazing trailer confimed me that SGW will not be my next MMO.  The franchise will die by it self I think.

Maybe an other game in few years based on the franchise will be amazing. Something reminds me of the Star Wars franchise (Star Wars Galaxies and Star Wars Old Republic)

Been waiting along time for this MMO but to be honest it does not look all that impressive MGN should of got someone like Cryptic studio's to devolope the game it would of turned out better.

Funding not withstanding, they lost some of their staff, at least those that were marketable, so that will further extend any development time.  Last I heard they had some real issues with the coding.  They are still not out of the woods.

The funding they are receiving is not to finish SGW, it's to finish their other little project SGB.   Finishing SGW depends on if this other project 1) continues on schedule 2) actually ships 3) people actully buy it generating enough cash to finish SGW.

Their talent pool is slim pickings as the marketable talent left long ago.   Real developers are unlikely to work at such an unstable company -- they are especially not going to relocate to the Phoenix area to boot.

Because they wanted a pic of recognizable characters of the property such as the characters of SG1.  Not the Snake Eyes want a be you have posted here that might be a G.I. Joe announcment.

I know but the pic of SG1 is ugly (even CME dev's have said that).

Makes sense really. Push out a single player game first to get money and hopefully they would get enough to please the investors enough to get them invest more.

Only time will tell about stargate worlds.

Even with the extra funding I get the feeling this game is a long way off. I also think that their reputation has suffered and a lot of the MMO playerbase will think twice before buying the game.

Interesting; very intersting. It'll even be more interesting if some of the old devs go back.

Kudos to the person who posted the second teir player from the site; the graphics are better than the first image in the thread.

I still want SGW to succeed. Hopefully the funding they received was substantial enough for a real dev team to get back in the saddle and get a working (fun) product out. I know I'm dreaming because nothing of their current situation would state this was possible, but I can hope.

This game should have died, and it will die, but not fast enough for me. Pathetic.

Why would you say that?  SGW IP would have made a great MMO.  Do you mean that it should die because of current economic woes in America, coupled with the financial troubles of this IP... or you just don't like Stargate series?

The game is horrible. It's an embarrassment to the Stargate franchise. MGM should do everything in its power to keep this game from being released.

They received money to get it released. Not do a complete redesign which is what this game really needs.
