Awesome explosion demonstration in Stargate Worlds


Recommended Posts

This video shows an Goa'uld Ha'Tak mother ship exploding in a low orbit. It's only about 30 seconds long, but my lord does it look AMAZING. Apparently it's part of an event in game, so I must admit if that's what the events are gonna be like in game that we can take part in, I'm on this like donkey kong.

Ha'Tak blowing up real good

Hope you like it :)

The initial explosion didnt look that good to me, sorry. It looked kinda blocky.... however once it got going the falling debris did look rather cool.

Is SGW a MMORPG then? I been living under a rock, and last time i heard about a Stargate game it was just rumour XD

The game is looking extremly good at the moment, which has surprised me. Expected the usual from a 'game based on a movie/tv series'.. It seems the game isnt even finished yet and they are working on in-game events.. which is a huge plus, considering many MMO developers dont bother with massive in-game events (due to them only lasting once, so its a waste of money but huge enjoyment for the players).

I dunno, the initial explosion looked pretty sweet to me. Looks like plasma or something explodes, which is a nice touch. But yes, the blast wave and debris etc are just awesome looking. And the actual sound...shudder.

WOW.. The sound was awesome.. The explosion was very well done.. I think the biggest thing is, we didn't get to see the event's leading up to the actual explosion so it looks rushed.. But the heat and stuff dissipating was awesome looking.. This game actually looks pretty good although I have never kept up with stargate.

I just wonder what kind of battle was going on before the ship exploded. It looked like energy based weapons were being fired, maybe Asgard? Possibly a new race just for the game I suppose.

They probably wont be implementing new races (or not technologically advanced) in right away, rather they'll just skew the Stargate storyline to make it more exciting. Rather than just continuing from the already finished/closed SG1 Storyline.

The game better be a whole lot better than what those guys where playing in that tv show or movie (don't remember) :)

Eh, I don't know what you are referring to, at all lol

im still hoping for a c.beta invite

You and me both man. I would kill for an invite to this puppy. And Star Trek Online :D

Wow, that was amazing. The initial shockwave did look somewhat blocky but after that... wow. It was superb. And the sound... I've never heard such a powerful explosion sound in a game. It sounded like a nuclear bomb went off or something.

I applied for the beta but I haven't received an invitation yet. :(

Eh, I don't know what you are referring to, at all lol

There was an episode in a tv series this spring or something (could have been a movie but I think it was a tv series) where some guys where playing Stargat worlds in some scenes. What they where playing was horrible though :)

You and me both man. I would kill for an invite to this puppy. And Star Trek Online :D

+1, but star trek online isn't going to go into beta for a LONG time imo..... but yeah i really want play both games even though i set my expectations for all mmos really low.

STO will probably hit beta sometime in Q1 2009, so it isn't that far away really. But this video for Worlds got me stoked for the game now, as a long time Stargate SG-1 fan I get giddy thinking about even the most basic stuff we might get to do in the game :D

The explosion looked pretty good. I agree that if they delayed the sound so that it came after the explosion it would have made it much more than it was. The game looks ok so far, I'm always skeptical of movie/tv-to-game adaptations. This one especially since SG-1 is one of my favorite shows of all time. Lets hope the game is decent. (Y)

I just wonder what kind of battle was going on before the ship exploded. It looked like energy based weapons were being fired, maybe Asgard? Possibly a new race just for the game I suppose.

COME OOOOOOOON FURLINGS!

    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
