If I wanted to describe SGW to an FPS fanboi I would say that it IS an FPS except that RPG combat elements have replaced the click to shoot elements.  The cover system is dynamic enough to make finding the best cover, the best angle of attack and flanking more important than who can nuke through a full HP bar the fastest, much like most FPS games...  and also I'd like to remind you that in all FPS games you start with x amount of hit points, if you get shot you lose HP, if you lose all your HP you die.. the ONLY thing that makes it an FPS is that it's twitch based, you aim and click to shoot.

I do agree with most of your post, except a FPS is a first person shooter; A game that is played in first person which Stargate isnt, looking through the eyes of the character that is. Though as you pointed out it is similar in other ways to an FPS, it cannot ofcourse be described as a FPS because it isnt played in first person.

It's not first person and no it's not a shooter either. FPS it is not. It is target and auto fire. This game is pure RPG.

Burdock you must be on crack, but I hope SGW will be as sucessfull as wow, the game mechanics will be completely different.

I don't know about that. If you mean being the 'king' of sci-fi MMO's I really feel that will be either STO or the new Bioware Star Wars MMO. I think Stargate will be fun, but I don't think it has enough of a following to be a huge hit. The high def graphics will cause the game to lag, and with a twitch based combat system a little lag will really screw the game up. I have hopes, but I played GUNZ online for a while, and I really see this going where in order to compete you'll have to master bunny hopping around and acting like a spaz rather than using cover.

1) I hope they dont hype the game just for the sake.

2) No need for revolutionary  things or combat.It is simple and fun keep it

3) Please please dont release the game with unfinished end game content, tall claims of DX10 graphics,

classes & city being cut 3 months before launch.Release only if its ready.

4) Bring the stargate lore in the game

5) good crafting system.would love one of those asgards machine here they replicate items

6) I know its a bit too much but could I have Ronens Gun from atlantis .

7) Stop comparing the game to steak, burger ,vegetable etc Offer what it is

8) Be smart to listen to naysayers and the community Listen to all and act on your own.

9) Atlantis expansion .great get wraith class in I wanna feed on SG1.

I am desperately hoping that this game lives up to the expecations .It has a rich story and lore so PVE storyline should be great .

It doesn't need a huge following now. It needs an awesome game. People won't care if its star wars, star trek. how many WAR players ever played warhammer table top. in fact id bet less than 10% of WoW Players ever played warcraft strat games.

star trek has more fans, ten times over. as does star wars. but pretty much everyone that plays mmorpg's is waiting for a groundbreaking, great game. if either of those 3 are it, then they will be a huge hit.
if they are not, hey they will make some cash like WAR and LOTRO, keep a steady fanbase of their diehard IP fans, and the rest will move on to Fallen Earth(or whatever game finally comes through for us)

I believe stargate worlds will attract many ppl looking for a solid and refreshing  "SCI FI" MMO, including myself. I'm getting worn out on fantasy MMO's, and SWG isn't really worth getting back into.

Personally, most popular MMO's out today became popular due to word of mouth as opposed to it's history. There may not be a super huge cult following of SG like there is with Star wars, star trek, etc, but if your a fan of MMO's and if this game is a fun experience, then I'm sure the population will sky rocket.  Thats what I'm hoping for.

This game has a lot of potential and i would keep an eye on it...that is all I am allowed to say.

I am more and more since i've seen what swtor is likely to offer

really hoping this lives up to that potential

I am a huge fan of the series, both SG1 and Atlantis. When I first found out that this game was going to be made I was incredibly excited.  For those who think that this is going to be a game only for fans, I believe that that line of thought is wrong (in my opinion).  I am sure that only a small fraction of WoW subscribers had been fans before the MMO came out.  I think that it will be a hit with a lot of gamers looking for something fresh with the new setting and sci-fi genre being a welcome change.  I do not expect it to be the "king" of all MMO's but if they do what they say they are going to do and they do it well, I think SGW could be a big success. From what I have seen so far, they are on the right track and I hope that they stick with it. As this game has just entered closed beta, there are a lot of things to come and until we get a bigger picture there is no way to know for sure how SGW is going to turn out, but that doesn't mean that we can't hope for the best.

I kid you not, from what i have seen and read, this game will leave all other Sci-fi MMORPGS for dead. It will be the last nail in the SOE SWG coffin. It will be what Tabula Rasa should have been and it will set the bar so high that Bioware will have to really work their magic to compete with a possible KOTOR Online.

This game will appeal across a broad spectrum of players, not the least including:

Stargate Fans

MMORPG Fans

Sci Fi Fans

FPS Fans

Role Playing Fans

 

It would not suprise me that the subscriptions will  head into the millions and it will take the world by storm, followed by a new show (Stargate Universe) and new movies (Stargate Atlantis).

 

Prepare to be BLOWN AWAY!

 

Chevrons are locked and standing by..

I doub that stargate world is a totally different lore then series,

With the awkward movements of console port its bound to fail.

And as a sg-1 dressed like a halo soldier is stupid, and asgard with robot lol.

Nah this game will fail bigtime.

They already screwed up with atalantis last sg-1 movie was below avarage.

The new SGU for young public with photo models who cant act and the soap approach they go bankrupt never hear of stargate ever again after they fail completely.

Game over!

meh...more viral marketing, these folks seem to move from game to game.

I'll believe it when I see it, and not based on hype, promises. or potential.
