"It's no wonder that Ten Ton Hammer awarded the upcoming MMORPG Stargate Worlds the Most Anticipated MMO of this year's E3 convention. E3 shows off what's new and cutting edge for the video game industry, in front of those who know the very best in games. Developer Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment is currently two years away from delivering the new game to stores. But the buzz in the industry is loud and frenzied."

Most importantly, the game will be intensely story driven. Players will make choices to form alliances, groups, make assumptions, and even go up against superior enemies. Stargates will still be the main source of transportation, with some ship travel where there are no gates. Continuity between the game and the show is top priority.
The premise and backstory of the game will encompass all the elements so loved by fans. The characters, planets, and races should all be the same, with a few new additions. Players might get to meet the Furlings, among others. The humor brought in by Richard Dean Anderson (Jack O'Neill) and the writers will be continued, keeping the feel of the show for the fans. Currently negotiations continue for the actors to do the voices of their characters.
But there will be differences between the game and the hit television series -- mainly in the combat systems. "Ranged combat maneuver is crucial [in Stargate Worlds]," Klug said. "Old MMO archetypes -- tank, healer, mage -- won't work." However, Klug says, "Combat is an important gameplay element, but we will also have a strong non-combat option for scientists and archeologists." So it's not about just fighting off one enemy at a time. Players have to think.
