Stargate SG-1: The Alliance

Kazaanova

It was just announced that JoWood have gotten the full cast to do the voice overs. Well not the full cast, not sure who else they got, I'd love to see Hammond in the game, but they did get the four main stars. Which means that my fantasy has come true: being able to play as MacGyver in a video game.

Anyway I'm not sure about the game, I'll buy it no questions asked when it comes out, but it could turn out horrible. The graphics look good, better than good actually, and the enviorments, locations etc. look amazing. Stargate is one show which really deserves a game. It also has the promise of full online campaign play. So it has a lot going for it. Havent heard much of it from E3 except that the Xbox version was horribly broken. I really hope they don't drop the ball on this. JoWood made Spellforce right? That was a pretty good game.

JoWood have a tendancy of getting the guts of a good game but there being so many flaws in it its hard NOT to feel cheated at times, while Spellforce was an awsome game, the lack on unit formations or even a defensive stances or anything, so little could have made that game so much better. Their other games tend to suffer from similar flaws. Dont really have high hopes for this either, but they could surprise, they surprised me with how playable Spellforce was, they werent far off the mark of a classic game with it.

Perception url]http://www.perception.com.au/[/url are making the game, their history is mainly in the "Coin-Op market". JoWood are publishing it.

I love Stargate as much as the next man. I mean I really do however Im afraid it might turn out like a Halo2 clone?

Ri_Nollaig

There's some other good stuff on that site too, lots of screenies and game info, and interviews with the developers etc.

I read they have sent their alpha development too MGM, which means the release shouldn't be too far off.

I'm hoping that this will be the the producers make or break, that they'll put all their efforts and money into this in the hope of a big return.

joshcork

I agree Looks really cool but the last thing I heard was that the whole thing was on hold until the companies that are making it stop becoming bankrupt or argueing over how gets to make it

senordingdong

Something liek that yeah, they disagreed on some element or another and now they're arguing over who has the rights to it.

joshcork

Yea but I thought that JoWood had bought the rights to make the game from MGM its just s**t as basically they see that the game will make loads of money when it released (assuming its good and it was looking that way) so now everyone wants more pie.

senordingdong

I reckon it'll make loads wether it's good or not.

lkman

I agree. There's so much hype over it already, whether it's bad or good (or hopefully great) it'll make a fortune..

Anyone know if they've set a release date?

joshcork

The last I heard was because of the trouble with financing and rights Perception were told that they wern't doing a good enough job by JoWood. But as they had already done so much work thery protested and continued to develop the game even though the rights owners don't want them to. I'm not sure this news was from a while back on some other boards so things could have changed since then.

Peace

Has anyone spotted a solid release date yet?

joshcork

Just had a quick look there this website seems to be saying it at the end of Feburary for the UK

http://www.erscheinungstermine.de/release-dates/games/3-pc/2388-stargate-sg1-the-alliance/release.html

Personally I'm sceptical about that cus of all the trouble in making the game. I just hope they don't mess it up as it would be a shame its just such a perfect backdrop for a game especially with all the multi-player co-op action these days

BopNiblets

IGN's PC page has its release date as 29th December, 2005 (right hand side column).

That's 8 days away.

Oh. My. Frucking. God. GIMME.

Was on the SG1 Alliance boards yesterday and they don't seem to have a definite release date yet so I'm not so sure these date are all that reliable. But dame I'd love to have a craic at anubis

Would you try to take him from infront or would you come at him from behind? And if he was coming at you really hard what would you reach for first?

Well I suppose It wouldn't really matter which direction I came from he/it was anubis. Not sure what I'd reach for not too many things do damage to an acended or half ascended being but I'm sure something would be provided that would do the job one way or the other. And if he was coming at me really hard well I'm not sure I'd last too long on my own

Scruff

i dunno. i havent heard any hype about this since the fiasco between JoWoo and the developers. wouldnt hold my breath waiting for a release date.

senordingdong

It's on hiatus.

1. They're mostly idiots and spammers (why I stopped posting there)
2. They didn't deny it's being released = good!

No, YOU're on hiatus!!
It's coming out, definately, cos there'll be slaps if it doesn't.

Haha, it's funny cos you implied he is gay!

senordingdong

Ofcourse it's coming out you spoon!

It was due in february, but the court case has it on hiatus.
They have said that one way or another 'The Alliance' will be released.
