How About A Video Game?

[jimbo1369]

When are we going to get a killer SG-1 video game?

[dipsofjazz]

I'm sure I read somewhere that there's one in the making as we speak.

I'm hoping that we're gonna be getting it next year. I'm actually really surprised that someone hasn't already thought of doing one cos of the massive range of worlds that are featured in the series and could be transferred to a game. I mean, the game could open with The Children of the Gods and then go on from there, with players able to choose worlds that they can go to, preparing and being briefed and such. It could be such a cool game! I'm just hoping that they aren't gonna make a lame one though....that would be such a shame after all of the waiting fans have had to be put through.

there was a story on gateworld about amonth ago about this. some australian, i think, company got the rights to make a stargate game but im not holding my breath because im fully expecting it to be a disappointment. there is so much massive potential for a game based on stargate that it would be to much to hope that they will get it right. im not much for MMORPG but the potential stargate has to be one is insane. if they made it so that you could actually dial the gate and go where you wanted it would be awesome. even if they only programmed like 50 planets to start they could keep adding on with updates and expansions, the possibilities are endless. but alas no company will ever fully utilize its potential and we are probably going to be left with a lame pathetic game that will cost 50 buck and not be worth the 2 cents.

the very fact that ther is so much detail the writers/producers/direcors put in, makes it harder to work with, because the whole project looks so dauntingly big!

[spg_1983]

yeah but if they start small, say ten or so worlds available at first but then regularly have updates and expansions for it to add additional worlds i think it could work. i know i wouldnt mind having it me small at first as long as i was sure that there was more comming later. financially it would be a good move for the company. if they charge 30 bucks or so for the first game and it had a decent number of worlds and freedom and missions i wouldnt mind paying 15 dollars every six months for additional expansion packs that added say ten or so new worlds and races and stuff. it gives them a long term goal and lets them spread the project out. they dont have to worry about getting everything in the first time.

To make it possible for us to get the best Stargate game possible it would have to be made by a true Stargate fan!
I'm not getting too excited about this new game that is being made but i'll definately be buying it cause it may turn out to be better than we all expect....

I really hope it will have a bit of freedom in it though e.g being able to choose which planet to go to and interact with things around the SGC and other stuff. Not having to follow the plot all the wah through.

The main thing I'm hoping for from this game is the ability to go around the SGC and see all the people and various levels in there. The main problem with most games (I think) is that there isn't very much freedom or exploring elements to them. For Stargate there is huge potential. I mean, the SGC is pretty big and there are some areas that we haven't seen on-screen yet that could be featured in the game. Also, control of the dialling computer would be cool too! That way you could anywhere and do anything, like an RPG or something. Hoping it's not online either cos that'd just be lame I think.

i dont know if done properly it could be cool to form a team and go exploring through the gate. If they had like no real set missions in online mode, you could just go to other worlds and explore. some could be goa'uld worlds and some friendly, stuff like that. they would have to have dozens if not hundreds of worlds available for that though, or atleast continually add new worlds. i think that would be awesome! it just has to be done right, otherwise yes it could tyrn out lame

[David85]

I'm not that excited for it, it's not for the GameCube so screw it. Plus it's based on a TV show / movie so it will suck anyways.

[omnian]

There's a lot of potential there for it to be an online MMORPG but I think a single player RPG-type thing would be better. Or even a first person shooter. That'd be cool.....

The developers have just got to be really careful with what they decide to put in and leave out otherwise it's just gonna suck. Also there should be a multiplayer co-op mode in it too methinks. That could make missions all the more fun!

Here's a couple of links about the game in development:
“Perception and MGM Interactive Inc. announce the licensing of “Stargate SG-1™” video game titles

I think the best use of the SG IP is to do a Rainbow Six style game....

[Penance]

or to make everyone happy, a single player offline rpg, with online mulitplayer capabilities, where you can select team based missions, or free for all slaughter.

I'm not that excited for it, it's not for the GameCube

LOL i'm with you. GameCube's all I got too. But unless you're accessing this site from a public computer, you will be able to play the game! It's for PC too!

[David85]

It's my computer, but I hate most computer games. The only computer game I truely like was C&C and Sim games, mainly Simcity 2000.

Wait, it's gonna be the same game on PC (And PS2 and XBox I think) as it would have been on Gamecube... Nintendo are just losing now, i mean look what happened to Sega. And the only games console I have is the SNES!

[ShadowMaat]

I'm utterly incapable of playing anything even remotely similar to a FPS-style game. Bad hand/eye coordination and stress levels which would probably ratchet me right into an apoplexy.

I'd much prefer something more oriented towards puzzle solving. Believe it or not, thinking is one of my strong points. At least compared to shooting things.

[bcmilco]

The only game console I've got is an NES. And unless they make it for Linux I'll have to wait until I get another spare computer Guess I'll just have to stick to UT for now...

shadowmaat, would a tombraider like game count?
