Stargate Worlds

Stargate Worlds is a massive multiplayer online game based on the popular science fiction television series “Stargate: SG-1″ and “Stargate Atlantis”. The game will be using the famous Unreal® Engine 3 technology that brought us many realistic, and good looking games. If I am not mistaken this will be the first online game using the Unreal Engine 3 technology. The screenshots look fantastic, especially when you realize that they are from an online game. The game promises a great gaming experience for both Stargate fans and regular gamers. Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment has access to many tools and technologies to develop a unique online gaming experience. In an interview, the developer mentions a more advanced artificial intelligence structure than you see in other online games. Monsters will take cover and hide, or run away depending on how big your gun is. Combat will be an important element of the game but not dominate it, which is in-line with the TV series. Stargate Worlds is expected to be available to the public in 2007.

“We’re winding down our preproduction,” Cook told MMORPG.com. That phase has seen them concentrate on nailing down their visual style, prototype combat and set up their production pipelines. They’ve also worked hard to make sure their two major licensed technologies – Unreal 3 for the client and BigWorld for the back-end – play well together. As a sign of how far they’ve come, they even released their first screenshot just after the show (top right).
The prototyping phase has already altered some notions of how they want to do things. Originally, they had planned for players to have AI-controlled characters join them, but this has since been scrapped. They have also spent a lot of time thinking about how they’ll weave story into their game.
