Stargate Worlds Featured in Game Informer Magazine

[FN-P90]

While i was at a friends house today he had this month Game Informer magazine and i flipped threw and low and behold a glorious visioin. They Featured Stargate Worlds!They had a few screen shots that looked awsome. Now do you think this is a good sign?

what is game informer?

A better sign would be articles on sites like Ten Ton Hammer, since that is a website for MMO gamers. Speaking of which, they've posted up an interesting article about SGW just recently... http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/61377. If that is true, it sounds like a real desperate attempt by Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment to breathe financial life back into not only SGW but their own company.

On another note, this article http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/50388 is a pretty interesting read. Basically one of their editor's opinions on how the 4 big upcoming Sci Fi MMO's will do in 2009. Can't really say I disagree with him. To sum his article up:

Star Wars: The Old Republic will be a critically acclaimed hit

Star Trek Online will do well enough just on Trekkie subs to make money

Stargate Worlds will struggle to survive 18 months

JumpGate Evolution will suffer crippling losses to the other three titles

I direct your attention to page 20 of the same issue though, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly section.

BAD
Stargate Worlds developer Cheyenne Mountain is having trouble meeting its payroll, but says it is continuing its work on the MMO project. The company still plans to start the second phase of the game's beta program early this year.

I'm a member over at the official Stargate Worlds website forums too and some people over there are freaking out over a rumor that says the game is having difficulties. Perhaps this is the basis for that rumor.

the guy responsible for the game said last month that the game wont move forward and will halt its activities in developing it until they find another investor. the economic crisis forced some to bail out i guess.

Maybe i'll get lucky and they will go back to The SG1: The Alliance game that was cancelled.

As much as I want to see the Alliance, they won't finish it so will never know the Haaken.

I hope Stargate : Worlds will be good, because if an average MMORPG can't try to pull players from WoW. I fear only the gaters won't make SG:W successfull. They have to spend more time to finish it perfectly, because only a good or perfect game can try to pull viewers from WoW for months.
