Well, if it got to alpha and they cancelled it, isn't that some pretty good assurance that it sucked horribly?

Actually I was thinking that Stargate and being in a Video game doesn't mix well. Unless it's like that episode where Teal'c gets stuck in one and JACKSON (the best of the best) saves him.

It didn't suck, the people that owned the rights to StarGate wouldn't let the producers get a new publisher so they could get more money

I'm saying, if they had a high-quality game on their hands, don't you think it's possible that those who owned the rights to StarGate could have been a bit more interested in signing a new publisher?

I remember that. That was a good episode.

MGM are at fault here. they're arseholes.

not only did they mess the games team around, but they tracked and shut down almost EVERY single mod for stargate using any engine.

I dont know if its a good thing or not, but it seems the DF2 jedi knight stargate mod is one of the few they didnt shut down. They considered it too old a game to worry about.
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

now now, there is no offcial word from Perception or MGM, so until I hear that the game is done for from either of those parties, then I'll mourn.

This is just like that jowood incident when Jowood claimed to have pulled the plug...

They might've gathered that it won't be released until Stargate is all but forgotten.

I would say these things won't work, but they got us the Pete and Pete DVDs. I wouldn't doubt that they MIGHT do something. Worth a shot.

I'd rather it be cancelled and possibly picked up by another company later or a different game made. There wasn't much to look forward considering most of the screenshots.

I'll sign it, but... "Stragate Fans"? It doesn't exactly show they care.

Fargate's(well kinda, it's called Far Gate) already a game lol, i have several copies of it from a joblot.

I signed the petition, and on the mods being cancelled thing there is always a loophole.

Ruthy, if they come to you, tell them it's not Star-Gate, it's Starg-Ate.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

2006-01-27, 5:55 PM #31
no, if they come to me and try to shut my mod down, I will take a kitchen knife to their throats and gut every single one of them.

No money-whoring company like MGM is gonna get their hands on my files.

I'll host the mod everywhere, i'll send it by cd to everyone if need be

i hate them, they really are idiots.

but on the plus side, this new game looks more interesting than just a shoot em up.

Should be interesting to see where this one goes.
2006-01-31, 7:58 PM #37
hmm, it all sounds good, but I don't like the atristic style they seem to be going with based on the concept art so far. if they stick to the tried and tested costumes and evolved them a little sure, but flat out changing the look seems alien and not stargate to me.

I'll most likely pick it up when it's released, but I'll have to see what this company does with the lisence first.

2006-01-31, 8:31 PM #38
I think the costume art thus far is a step in the right direction. I never did like the Serpent Guard helmets, always seemed too bulky. Personal preference, I suppose.
2006-02-01, 7:24 AM #39
nah, you can't really go back and change it cos it looks bulky, it'd be like redoing episode 3 but making darth vader more 'speedo'
