Visually this reminds me very much of a kind of current gen Outcast.

Much ahead of its time was Outcast, oh yes.

Of course, it might end nothing like it.

Obviously this is meant to be between Anubis and Ori but how long can they keep leaving it in that static space? Since, Asgard die out...that is all I'm curious in; Playing a dying race as fragile as babies but will be levelling up and 'getting stronger' in the game? :|

Otherwise, love Stargate so look forward to it.

sounds brilliant, but as always, need to know how it will play :P

I can see the Asgard running round in rock hard mechs :D or just have guns bigger than themselves :P it will be interesting to see how the little blighters fight

Wow, it looks like...crap. Strafing sideways from third person? Yes, it still looks silly, and always will.

There's a race called Jaffa? If the name isn't gone already you know there'll be a player called 'Cake'.

Actually the only MMO I've ever wanted to play (of the ones that actually, y'know, exist). This scares me, my free time and my wallet witless.

Sounds like a good setting for an MMO in theory, but sticking to MMORPG cliches like character skill determining hits and progression being tied to phat lewt seems very short-sighted.

Perhaps it's just me, but I don't really see the point in doing a Stargate MMO if you're just going to make it a skin for WoW - personally I'd have thought that a tactical, skill-based MMOFPS would be a vastly better fit for the license.

If nothing else, click-and-watch combat is going to get very dull, very fast if all you're ever fighting is Gao'uld and Jaffa.

Also: playable Asgard? WTF?

I find myself wondering if player Goa'uld would actually be Tok'ra, and Jaffa being free Jaffa.

Yeah, they should really be trying to rip off Deus Ex rather than WoW for the combat. :/

Is that really your greatest concern?

Isnt every fukkin FF about that? Im not into Stargate, so It may be completly different from the way FF does it, but it did sound alike in that comment.

Lag.

Basically, MMOs would not be as fun with the one-shot kills you see on the show. The old "full ability until hitpoint bar hits zero" tradition is nearly mandatory.

I hope it's better than Matrix Online I played until my membership expire cause all the Events happened in US time. Thought I'd give another shot this month after a 3year absence and they've fired the animators, voice actors, story boardist guy the only thing left apparently is one guy writing the critical mission dialog. My problem with MMO's after this eperience is I think I paid arround £70 to play Matrix for arround 6months and your dependant on other players sticking with it or else you've flushed your money and time away.

I just wish that the single player Stargate game by them aussies was never left in publishing limbo

Stargate has always juxtaposed high technology with primitive human cultures, which gives it a unique visual and architectural style.

...ignoring the Myst series of course.

Here's hoping they do eventually move forward to seasons nine and ten - if only to get Vala into the game.

Outcast was staggeringly great. I remember some guy i used to work with giving me a copy cos he found it boring.
His loss, i guess ;P

Sucks Asgard are playable. Means their super tech superiority has to be nerfed for the balance with other races. Which is just dumb.

I'd rather have seen the player able to choose to be some of the other humans from other planets. Being tied to Stargate Command is a bit restrictive, IMO, as I think it would be nice to play as a Vala-style freebooter or similar.

I once read an article that pointed out how US sci-fi is dominated by organisations compared to British sci-fi that's about the individual. SG1, Star Trek, Bayblon 5 - all official/military groups. Doctor Who, Quatermass, Blake's 7 - ragtag anti-establishment types.
