@Gollum: like they tried to invent some innovative form of combat control, but just went too far to the land where ‘innovative’ means ‘ludicrous’.

The Ui looks like someone exploded all the command buttons over the screen. Apart from that and the jerky movements of the character it looks good

Potential is there, but yeah needs polish and cleaning. I particularly hope they clean up animation, the recoil with the staff is just weird looking.

“THIS (holds up staff) is a weapon of fear and intimidation. THIS (holds up P90) is a weapon of war.” – J.O.

I liked the way Tabula Rasa handles aiming and attacking, this auto attack stuff is very un-immersive for a shooter. I’m also disappointed they’ve “altered canon” (literally, larf) in the demo above in that they’ve significantly decreased the effects of the staff weapons; in the series and film(s) they were a one shot one kill weapon, countered by their limited range and innaccuracy. Here it seems, they are very accurate, and very weak, with some guys needing more then 5 hits to die.

That said, I’m still loving the idea of a Stargate MMO, the potential is endless.

What’s with all the circles and squares cluttering up the screen in the gameplay video? That’s just unpleasant to look at.

Yeah, that was what the first one didn’t show. It looked like shooting a guy with a P90 burst, you know, killed him. Moving to cover and so on.

Is it really that hard to take a large environment, and give First Person view and a gun? Shoot an enemy, he dies. Why is this so difficult?

You shoot a guy in the face with a huge explosive energy shot.. and then do it twice more, then he dies?

Pass.

Sounds like nearly any other game already out there. Takes a few flashy hits to kill the foozle, no matter if it’s FPS, RTS, fighting game or a MMO…

I was happy with the first video, but Jesus, what the hell was with the second one?

Stargate = good

MMOs = bad

Interesting tidbit: Just today I watched War Games: The Dead Code (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0865957/) and this StarGate Worlds was quite prominently featured in the movie. With what I guess would qualify as Gameplay scenes. At first I thought this could not be real. It looked so fake. But on the other hand, the film got its gaming terminology absolutely spot on, more like any other movie I have ever seen that is not about gaming exclusively. Anyway, I’m quite shocked to find out that this…. thing… seems to be real.

I’m still not sure why they keep making all these WoW clones when most of them don’t do very well. You’d think someone would notice.
