Anonymous has already won this thread, guys. ‘Jaffa, CREE!’ is 2009’s ‘Meidc!/Need a dispenser here/SPY!’.

(And also canon, since ‘cree’ apparently means any military type order depending on how it’s said… Indeed…)

I reckon Stargate is fantastic. Good escapist TV with humour, ’splodes, Ba’al (best TV Sci-Fi baddie ever), best theme music EVAH, and MacGuyver. Mc friggin’ G. Yo.

And fuck Farscape!

Hard to get any feel of the game through that video, my only complaint would be that whilst the game looks pretty nice, the actual Star Gate looks very low detail. Needs MOAR triangles please.

Stargate the movie was the sort of thing nostalgia makes you love forever because you were too young to know better.

Stargate the series is what you watch because sci-fi offerings are slim on television and you’re at that right age where you’re mature enough that you can notice but knowingly overlook the hamminess but young enough that the gaudy escapism and senseless action-oriented plot still appeals.

The best part of Stargate is probably the partial nudity of the female lead. Didn’t see it, but now it’s too late anyway,

Actually, the best part of Stargate is when Kurt Russell overcomes his fears and learns that it’s okay to let children have guns.

It it just me, or is the movement lagging towards the end of the trailer? Character movement seemed a little jittery, and the teleporter rings seem really bland.

Nothing about this game looks even slightly good.

Stargate Universe is the Trek-style one, right? IIRC it involves a new galaxy the ancients never went to, so there shouldn’t be too many slightly funny-looking humans wandering around, and more exploration and less popping back to Earth for a cup of tea every few episodes.

It had better have Woolsey, though, even if he’s not in charge of anything.

@Grey_Ghost : I read about that too, sounds interesting, though it was pitched as sort of a rip-off of Star Trek Voyager…(and Lost in Space, and Farscape) the “stranded far from home” theme.

Although I do know that its last televised incarnation, Atlantis, has just been cancelled. Which possibly isn’t great timing for the tie-in game.

Actually MGM supposedly canceled Atlantis to free up money for use in their new show “Stargate: Universe”, which will be the actual tie in to this game.

From what I know, Bonnie Hammer didn’t technically cancel Farscape, since she couldn’t legally do that. She just lowered the budget so fat that they might have been able to do a season with finger puppets and Henson and Rockne doing all the voices…
