I love the stargate franchise but the mmo really doesn't do it for me. Every video you see for the game is just some guy hiding behind a bunker and shooting. What about the things that make the movie great like piloting a ship or interacting with a new world? I think showing off stuff like that would be more appealing (i hope they exist in the game).

This was not the vid to get people hyped about the game. I would hope that there is more to this than just a fire fight. And yes I know it is a short Game play video but did they have to take the most uninspired portion of the gameplay?

From all the pictures and other media content of the dev showing and talking about parts of the game and now this, you're just left with a feeling that the main design choices for the game were done with consoles in mind. It just looks very console in design. It looks like sombody taken Tabula Rasa and just done a few tweaks and reskinned it to a Star Gate theme.

Why do people keep saying this is a FPS? The "FP" stands for "first Person" which this is clearly not (try: 3rd person). Maybe they are getting it confused with the "S" (shooter) which this seems to be (which is great!). Hey guess what?!? NOT a WOW clone!!
I also laugh at the TR comments. Yes, both SciFi (hence the feel) and both have shooting. I don't see much beyond that, I'm afraid. Have you read about the gameplay? Definitely not TR. Go back and play your precious WOW until they make a WOW in space (Starcraft?), as that's clearly what you want.

Well that was a bit of an own-goal. If Firesky are going to release a clip like this they need to take a lesson from Mythic and ensure its embedded within a podcast to explain why we will be interested.
The MMORPG interviews sell the game better. This game has interesting ai but I'd be expecting to read about different classes/careers means of customisation. If it goes into open beta without some public snippets to get people excited this game is only going to appeal to the die-hard program fans who happen to already play mmo's and do not mind paying for another. When I'd hope Firesky'd be trying to target a much wider audience.
I don't want to be too critical as if this was to show us how they envisage the hud I'd say good job. But as it stands- alone- I'm lost as to why I'm meant to react with excitement. Surely the point of putting material into the public domain?

SoSilencer writes:
I'm going to make note of two things.
1: About half of the comments seem to be from people who have absolutely no understanding of what this game is going to be. It is not first person. It is not a shooter. You do not aim. It is like regular fantasy MMORPG with targeting, auto-attack and skill usage... just at longer range with a sci-fi skin. What is exciting about it is the cover system, story and other features that they are doing. This is extremely information about the game that is very obvious in the video yet many of you don't seem to understand... anything at all.
2: Despite the fact that most of the comments are from uninformed or ignorant people I agree that this was not a good video to release. I say this for the simple fact that after watching the video a majority of people still seem to be confused about what the game is about. A good video should clearly show the gameplay, answer peoples questions and make people excited. They need to release more long videos with developer interviews like they did with the prison sequence and cover system.

Okay now looking at this video this is nothing like Tabula Rasa. Im proud to say this because I do play Tabula Rasa. There is no ammo count. It looks like the the green and blue bars on top and bottom represents armor and health. The game look like it has cover system. That would explain what the AI or other player ran from one point to the other and the second shot where the other player was behind the box. If there was any AI in this video it sucks and dose not represent Stargate in anyway. Any why just a burst of ammo? I know the P90, if that's what they are using, can shoot fully automatic. Also what the hell is up with this game play. It looks sad. Most developers at least show a better viewing of the game. If the game play of this MMO is like this and I were to play it I might as well walk up to the enemy

IDKP117587 writes:
First this game looks nothing like Tabula Rasa. Why I say this is because I play Tabula Rasa. I wouldn't know how the game play would be for this game but watching this video it make me feel sad. I actually watch the Stargate series and this is crap. Ofcourse i'm not a die hard fan of Stargate but I know enough about Stargate and MMO games to know that this is crap. Looking at the video over again a few times I fail to notice any ammo count anywhere. Also why only a short burst of ammo fired? I know that the P90, if that is what they are using, can go fully automatic. I also notice that alien1984 is right and I assume that this game has a cover system like it dose in the series, but it sucks. It would explain why the other guy was firing behind the box. If the game play stays like this then I am sorry to say this is sad sad game that MGM should not release. It would ruin the franchise of Stargae, but that's my opinion.

SoSilencer writes:
The top is the enemy. The bottom is yourself. The pie-chart type thing is the cover you are in, which is really well done and one of the best features of the game. This video does not show it off very well but some other videos do. You'll actually have to think and use tactics in this, unlike almost every other MMO game out there.
They are not using P90's in this video, but even if they were, they do not shoot full auto because it doesn't make sense to do so. Firing in bursts is superior, and they do it in the show too.

As a Stargate fan not knowing anything about this game, I applied for a beta spot, hoping to be one of the lucky ones to get in. But frankly, I couldn't care less after seeing this. Yes, this short video is more than enough to tell me that this game is not for me. Another disappointment, been a lot of those lately...

Merxion if that is the ammo count bar then I fail to notice it moving when the gun was firing. It might be me or my pixels on my monitor is wont change because the video is too small. SoSilencer that is true. I do hope that they do add it in the game. Other wise this game looks like crap. I assume that everyone else can agree on that.

the star trek online in play teaser looks better and more interesting than this does. i love both series but this is just really bad looking and I've played a tone of mmos/fps. the only thing i can think of is they felt pressured to put soemthing out there to keep interest regardless of whether it was good or bad. The idea of a stargate mmo never appealed to me realy, this just burried it

Sadley the assumptions made here for a less then 33 second clip of the game gets shattered by some hopefully not future players of this MMO. Everyone is stuck on graphics and it is maybe a alpha clip since beta has not started as of yet. ALl they cared about is video thats pretty shallow. I really dont give a hairs buttock about the vidoe as long as the play and story are very well written and from just watching the very short fire fight those of you just interested in graphics would not of seen the tactics being used for this brief clip. Of course being in the military I noticed them right away unlike other MMOS you push a button to hack and then its the mobs turn and back and forth how boring indeed and just standing tow to tow while doing this without moving thats 90% MMOS out there at least this one is trying something different.

First off I'd just like to say that the people already talking bad about this game are idiots. It's not even in closed beta. This is alpha footage, and of course it's not going to be at its best. I'd say it looks pretty good. We'll all know when it's released. Until thin, save the remarks on the graphics and gameplay. You're only making yourself look more stupid.

not for nothing but responsible game devs don't release pre-alpha conent on the hopes of recruiting beta players or for that fact generating user interest. SGW is out of pre alpha and is actually ready for beta, so what you are in fact seeing is a beta build. Personally I wasn't crtitquing graphics, I was critiquing exactly what alot of sci fi genre fans have had to suffer though, people taking a sci fi IP and wrapping it around an existing game designe to make money. We were very worries thats what cryptic would do with trewk online, our fears were wasted once we saw what was actual beta build gameplay footage. They need to change the description of SGW to fps is thats the only aspect that they are going to continually push out in content previews, this is in fact the 2nd combat geared video to be shown to the public with no explanation on the devs ends to allay peoples worries that all the game will be is a fps with the gate ip sprinkled round it.

If this is FPS and PvP then I am gone. Plenty of those already. Want a little more feel of the storyline, more identification with the show, which I enjoy. To those WOW haters out there I am always amused at the virulence. I play and enjoy WOW and hope SGW has some of the elements like UI ease and auto-combat. OUCH! That was a scream of hate from a few above to the 10-15 million of us who like WOW. Individuals who place themselves to look down on a majority of others are doing so usually out of a feeling of inferiorty. Why not consider you just don't like that particular game without insulting others who do? You aren't showing intellectual superiority or class, just bitterness or self aggrandizement. Get a life! SGW looks like a great game for MMORPG but difficult to cross over game play with story. I didn't get much from the video either but willing to wait a see. Another video is listed today 10/30 but will not download. So I'll follow my own advice and wait and see.
