Stargate SG-1 actor Christopher Judge visited Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment's game development studio to check out Stargate Worlds last week. Judge played the part of Teal'c -- the Jaffa warrior on the SG-1 team -- for the entire run of the TV series and in the movies The Ark of Truth and Continuum, and has appeared on Stargate Atlantis as well.
Members of the development teamed gushed about how awesome he was on the Stargate Worlds community site. "I wouldn't have thought I was the type to get embarrassed and feel like a blushing teenage girl (no offense to blushing teenage girls) when meeting a star like Christopher Judge but apparently I totally am," said one of the team members. The team got the impression that Judge was "SUPER excited" about the game.
With the exception of the third-person shooter, Stargate: Resistance, and a cancelled MMO by the name of Stargate: Worlds, gamers haven’t had much opportunity to explore the rich Stargate universe within the medium of gaming.
Great article. I also love Stargate, and really wish we had more games from this awesome IP. I was in the Alpha for Stargate Worlds. It was really ambitious, had a ton of things they wanted to do, and even with the bugs in the Alpha grouping up was fun and exploring the worlds they had open at the time was great. Lots of bugs, but that’s to be expected of an Alpha. Had fun reporting all of the bugs as well, some hilarious and others game breaking. Then, all of a sudden, we got an email thanking us for our time, but it was over and gone. Bam! Oh well... What could’ve been...
We need a AAA studio to pick one of these up, because there's lots of opportunity because every world can be different. I mean even if Ubisoft picked it up, they could outsource several of the worlds to their different studios and it would still work.
Back in 2008, I had a chance to play Stargate Worlds, a MMORPG based on the Stargate franchise, while the game was never released here are my thoughts on the game and what it had.
It was a game with a lot of potential. As a Stargate fan, the story just sounded great.
stargate was a very cheap tv show. no wonder an mmo with this setting never saw the light of day.
Such a shame. Maybe one day a developer will give this franchise the attention required to do it justice. Endless possibilities.
Kotaku: "It’s frankly ridiculous how close some games are to finished when they are cancelled - or, conversely, how vaporous they can be when they’re first shown."
I'm still completely bummed out about Prey 2 being cancelled. I still have sliver of hope that it is secretly being developed for current gen consoles though. I won't give up dammit!!.
I can't describe the disappointment I felt after the cancellation of 8 days and Coded Arms Assault......
I love stargate, especially stargate Atlantis. Cant wait until this game comes out.
Justin i totally agree with you im not a big sci-fi guy either but both stargates have that perfect balance of intelligence/comedy/action etc.
AND i cant belive Stargate atlantis is going to be done in 5 SEASON !!!!! NOOOOOOOO its too good :(
top series top actor
you know actors like there job when they stay for 10 years 2 films and a hand full of cameos in a spinnoff
judge will always be teal'c now thats the risk of such long running series
ahh well :)
Theres a game for this sweet can't wait for it i wonder wat console this will come on. this is actually the first sc fi i seriously took interest apart from star wars which almost anyone can easly like but this show is more like in our time and much more reality to me
good old Tealc, I hope they can pull this off.
