Hot on the heels of the first blast of screenshots and them being added to our Game List, Cheyenne Mountain has shared five new screenshots of the game exclusively with MMORPG.com. Nick Heitzman, the Lead Artist at Cheyenne kicked in the descriptions below.

"The front of the Goa'uld Resurrection Station in all it's glory. Normal and parallax mapped statues in the foreground, frame the main approach with the Jaffa guards. Light mapped shadows on the structure itself coexist with the dynamic lighting of the guards. There is also the warm exterior lighting solution in place, thanks to the many braziers."
"One of the two entrances to the Resurrection Station is shown here. The light mapped shadows offer a terrific variation of light and dark, with the asymmetry of only one standing torch burning, softly illuminating the statue. Inside you can see another Jaffa guard, in the brightly lit interior just beyond the doorway."
"This image is set in the nearby oasis, looking up to the Goa'uld Aid Station beyond. The trees and shrubs are created using a program called Speedtree, which allows highly detailed and animated flora objects that automatically lower in detail the further they are away from the player. They also burn nice shadows into the desert landscape adding even more realism."
"Looking through the entrance foyer here, the overhead firepit burns brightly, casting light mapped shadows throughout the chamber. At the far end, the dunes and trees are visible on the other side of the structure. Furniture and pillows wait inside, incense burns, providing a safe haven for the recently resurrected. Also, a nice close view of our normal mapped walls and floor, with their cracks, chips and detail can be seen."
"The Goa'uld resurrect by way of sarcophagi which revitalize dead beings. Here is one such device, activated and open, ready to bring a Goa'uld or Jaffa back from the afterworld. This scene displays emissive textures glowing, with the sarcophagi itself animating upon activation. The standing torches with their heat distortion effect, giving light to the transmission masked wide leaves of the plants, bringing them to life as well."

Very nice, but a little to clean.

they have been saying they were working on a stargate mmo for quite a while now, as a fan of the TV show Im def looking forward to checking this game out when it is completed.  Good to see that they are indeed moving forward with it.

Wow, they all looking incredible. Though I do admit, like someone else said, that it does look too clean. A Goa'uld temple needn't be as shine as it is, even if it were in use.

No longer visiting MMORPG.com.

My hopes are up. Really liking the art direction - if the gameplay is similarly up to scratch, I'm there.

"Live Long and Game"

I wonder, is this game being made with Direct X 10 in mind?  are these screens showing off the future of gaming graphics?

I also agree about the "too clean" graphics. Couldnt put a finger on something specific but its either that "clean" thing or something else that makes those graphics look...somehow weird. The quality of graphics is very nice though. Hopefully the artistic side will be improved too.

As a fan of the movie and both series, I realy hope they can fix us with a solid game with different gameplay styles for everyone to enjoy.

Didnt they cancel this game though? or was it the series? I think i read somewhere that something, possibly related to SG was canceled and there was a fan movement to save SG... cant quite remember where or what I allegedly heard/read that.

I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.
