I can't believe you went and used it, :lol.
Fuck how can I get my hands on this. Looks a little laggy during gunplay and they would only issue witty quips not orders during gunfights, but that looked and sounded like SG1 to me.

Cant help you with getting it, sorry. Took me 5 years to find it, and I do this sort of thing a lot, see Battlefront 3 :P

[AusRoachman]

This looked pretty awesome. I was a huge stargate fan back in the day, its well past its used date by now but i was always waiting for a stargate game to arrive but it never came.

I remember 10+ years ago when i first brought my torque engine i started on making a standalone stargate game.

We started by initially porting a dead/defunct tribes 2 stargate mod and soon we had a pretty awesome standalone stargate multiplayer game coming.

Unforunetely we then got the dreaded cease and desist from MGM so sadly it never saw the light of day.

A stargate game when it was popular would have been awesome IMO. Sad to see this never saw the light of day.

I don't mean it really. I mean, I'd love this to become a playable thing at some future point (or a build I could easily get my hands on), but I'm enjoying just perusing what you've put out.

<words>

I think a game like the one Borman came across would be a great way to revive the franchise in a few years.

Gotcha, I'm use to people sending me rude comments saying that they 'deserve' what I have hah. I do my best anyway to make sure people see as much as possible.

Hahaha! I can't believe it either!

God, RDA really phoned it in on this one, didn't he? lol

From the videos so far only Amanda Tapping and Don Davis sound like they really tried.

People don't realize how hard voice acting is. There is a reason that most actors don't do it. Look at Bill Murray on the Ghostbusters game, even he has done a ton of voice overs, doesn't mean he was good at it though.

RDA has done voice over work in games before, in Fallout specifically, and it wasn't that stiff.
I rather liked Bill Murray's glib, "obviously didn't care" take on the dialogue in the Ghostbusters game, but then again it fit within the world of GB.

O'Neill just lacked his normal sarcastic enthusiasm, where as say Carter normally didn't emote as often, so she sounded pretty much spot on here. Teal'C was pretty good on a second listen it seemed, though hearing all the Jaffa die made it obvious Christopher Judge did the death screams.

[Zod the Bear]

Ahh, awesome find! I'd been excited for this game. Then got stuck with SG: Worlds, but at least got to try the beta out a bit before it was cancelled.

Can't say I've heard him do other games. I still feel like Murray was the worst part of the GB game, but hey, at least he showed up.


Anyway, another video is up, showcasing the attack on SGC:

Xbox footage pulled, sorry about that guys. Newer, better footage coming soon though :)

[Borman]

Video for the 1st part of the Tok'ra mission reposted, in higher quality (much higher!). PC build is in most ways, more complete. Give it a bit to process.

Ooo, moving to PC? It should look much better at least.

Is there any legal means to obtain the same build you're playing, because looking at the PC screens is getting me all antsy.

[Borman]

Unfortunately, nope. Not sure what is up with Youtube tonight and why the video isn't working yet. Will reupload in the meantime. Another video is compressing for upload.

[Anuxinamoon]

Whaaaat? I thought this would never see the light of day ever!

hahahahaha so gold! Oh man those models bring back memories. Will watch this for sure. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! :D

[Borman]

Another quick video, this time of a multiplayer map :
http://ptoponline.com/?p=221

I'm off to bed, but I'll be uploading a long video as I sleep. 4 gigs for 20 minutes compressed /sigh

[VOOK]

If this got out into the hands of fans, these days people would finish it.

[Borman]

Too bad there isn't any source code, so it couldn't be finished, although Unreal Engine / Editor makes it a bit easier I guess. Still, not my place to share it.

[Borman]

New video!

Another look at Abydos in Stargate SG-1 : The Alliance : http://ptoponline.com/?p=230

[Borman]

The second half of the forest mission, with lots of story elements at the end!
http://ptoponline.com/?p=233

[firehawk12]

That looks like a mid-budget game of 2012 (ie, Battleship). Impressive for an unfinished game from a few years ago.

Also, I noticed your avatar changed. lol

[Borman]

Yep, digging through the files are fun :)

And really, thats what I was thinking. At the very least, if you think the game would have come out in 2006 (this was a 2006 build, so it wasn't making 2005), graphically anyway, it would have been right at home with most titles of the day. It wouldn't have rivaled Gears of War, but most titles didn't (or don't, even now) look as good as GoW did.

[firehawk12]

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed that the company imploded with licensing lawsuits and whatnot, as it might have helped boost the franchise at the time (Stargate was "popular", but never really as big as any of its contemporaries).

How complete is the game in terms of the story? Where would it fit into the franchise timeline.

[Borman]

The game was relatively complete, but clearly not finished. I know that doesn't make sense but...

Basically, the game was near Alpha state or Alpha, meaning it is playable pretty much straight through. Some stuff is either cut or missing at this stage of the game, and it still crashes a lot, but that isn't the point of the alpha.

Not all of the cutscenes are implemented though. Some of them are obviously, which you can see in the videos, but before and after the missions were suppose to have cutscenes. I have the audio for those scenes, or most of them anyway. I'm not sure if the cutscenes exist in an early form in the code or not, it is something I'll be looking into over time.

Story wise, it takes places while Anubis is still 'alive' and using his Super Soldiers. Due to budget (or some other excuse), Hammond is called back to the SGC, and Jack goes back into the field.

The main enemy of the game, the Haaken, were actually considered to be mentioned in the TV show, so that would have been neat.

So season 6-7 is where it would likely fit continuity-wise?

[Borman]

After Season 6 I think, since Daniel is back. I need to find the actual quote to tell you for sure, about to head out though.

[Borman]

Continuing footage after a bit of a delay, with new video of M17, featuring an attack on Stargate Command.

You're making me want to rewatch the series. lol

I'm currently watching it with my fiance, summer time is the best time to watch it.

Fiance's first time through or nostalgia trip for both?

She's a Stargate virgin :P

Oh god. She's yet to understand the horrors of 'Forever and a Day' or Rya'c. Prepare her as best you can.

[BabeSlayer]

This thread made me sad all over again that Stargate Universe got cancelled :(

[DTKT]

I'm actually watching SG-1 for the first time and just finished forever in a a day about 20 min ago.

Took me a ehile to get going, the first two and a half season are pretty hard to watch.

I kind of want a SG game now. :|

[AzaK]

Really wish there was a game. I'm rewatching all 10 series at the moment and it's still an amazing show.

[gabbo]

Does Sci-fi or syfy or whatever they go by now, not air reruns of the show?

[vazel]

Looks good for an xbox1 game but for a 2006 game I would hope it looks that good.

It's a shame the Stargate franchise has lacked in the videogame department. MGM really failed there. Stargate would've been perfect for co-op and I also wouldn't have objected to playing a Stargate MMO.

Edit: I see there was an MMO in development but the developer went bankrupt. Darn.

[firehawk12]

Oh god. She's yet to understand the horrors of 'Forever and a Day' or Rya'c. Prepare her as best you can.

If she could survive Carter's "My sex organs are in the inside" line, then she'll be fine.

First season was a joke until the very first mythology episode - I think that was where the Furlings came up, yes? - and even then, it's still touch and go for a while.

As much as I love the show, it does have its share of problems. :p

The episode where they find Ernest on the self destructing planet and learn about the four original races?
I don't think Worlds ever got to open beta status before they dev team got hit with a money crunch and had to set it aside for the multiplayer shooter.

Yeah, that's the episode. Where Jackson goes crazy because he wants to study the secret history or whatever it was just as the place is about to fall apart. I think it was "The Fifth Race"?, but it's been aaaaaaages.

I seem to remember something being released on Steam anyway. Was that a shooter?

[randomlyrossy]

They splintered off part of the MMO and made a multiplayer shooter, I forget the name now. It wasn't great, cool seeing the locations like the SGC but a pretty mediocre game and the community was never really there.

The MMO was in closed beta for a good while before the dev went under. That actually had potential which is a shame. Maybe Stargate will get a revival and hit big so we can get an actual good game at some point. It is tailor made for video games, especially an MMO, it's shocking it has had so much trouble getting one.

[Borman]

Stargate Resistance was the shooter, wasnt good at all.

I've been speaking to many people who were in the closed beta of SGW, that was not in good shape either. I have two or three builds of it, but haven't really had a chance to get into the files yet (obviously there won't be gameplay of that one, other than what people recorded already)

[i-Lo]

Imagine how the game would turn out if one of these devs got their hands on it and made it a trilogy (some light hearted fun):

• Bioware: First game RPG, second and third games shooters, good soundtracks, good shooter mechanics, colour blind people get one ending for the third game.
  
• Bethesda: Epic skyboxes, epic number of bugs, protagonist is w/o voice, great list of licensed soundtracks, expansive world, poor aim control (consoles), good side quests, meh main quest.
  
• Obsidian: Expansive world, deep RPG tropes, epic bugs, unimproved visuals and animations, poor aim control, great writing in side quests, good main quest.
  
• CD Projekt: Lush visuals, great art direction, great combat controls, good balance between linearity and non linearity, efficient with budget, will not beat around the bush when matter pertains to mature topic not limited to violence.
  
• Square Enix: Mostly linear segments, pretty visuals, first third of the game will be your tutorial, at least one uber annoying character, cheesy voice acting, great comat mechanic, grind fest, will have tons of mothers and all of them will be tough.
  
• Gearbox Software: Guns, lots of guns, and more guns, good visuals, great variety of foes, best played co-op and more weapons, guns.
  
• Nippon Ichi Software: 16 bit visuals, 999+ hours of grinding, characters will speak to each other as static pictures on either side of the screen with text bubbles, convoluted and rewarding combat mechanic, super mega ultra hyper uber combo, will run on almost any system.

Now most of them are from personal experience and some are from the reputation that I have read. What it look like in your opinion if devs that you know, like or dislike were to make it?

I think a really good game would work to bring the franchise back. Create a new team, have SG1/A cameos. Maybe go looking for thew Destiny crew as a lead into a new show.

[Kanyon]

Good job on posting the videos Borman, I've been a huge fan of SG since its premiere back in 1997 and I always held out hope a Stargate themed FPS would see the light of day. Watched all the videos you posted and needless to say the developers actually did a really good job of capturing the feel of the show, it's a damn shame this game didn't see the light of day as it really is a great looking game.

[JoshuaJSlone]

Yeah, that's the episode. Where Jackson goes crazy because he wants to study the secret history or whatever it was just as the place is about to fall apart. I think it was "The Fifth Race"?, but it's been aaaaaaages.

Torment of Tantalus was the one with Ernest and where they learned of the meeting of the four races. The Fifth Race was the one when Jack got Ancient knowledge stuck in his head and met the Asgard. Both are pretty big universe-expanding episodes.
