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)

COME OOOOOOOON FURLINGS!

    • If they ever come out and say the AI is no longer accessible to the gen pop people aren't going to know how to tie their own shoelaces.
    • It's hard not to when they are shoehorning Ai into EVERYTHING. Some are active users by choice, I bet a lot of them are because it's shoved in their face the entire time.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing by Hamid Ganji Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the way people research, get their news, and perform routine tasks has changed dramatically. Now, almost everything around us has a touch of AI, and companies are trying to embed it into nearly every product and service they offer. With that in mind, new research shows how Americans are actually adopting this change and using AI in their everyday lives. According to new research conducted by the Pew Research Center, 49% of American adults now use AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini. This marks a significant increase over last year, when only 33% of American adults reported using AI. Additionally, four in ten U.S. adults (42%) said they use AI tools to research information, while 38% said they use these tools to handle tasks at work. Entertainment, image and video editing, and getting medical advice are among the other ways Americans are using AI. Moreover, ChatGPT dominates the U.S. AI market, with 44% of respondents saying they use OpenAI's chatbot. Gemini follows at 24%, while Copilot and Meta AI account for 17% and 14%, respectively. Respondents also said that AI chatbots generally have a positive impact on their productivity and how informed they are. But when it comes to AI’s impact on society, Americans remain largely skeptical. About 40% of American adults believe AI will be more harmful than beneficial to society over the next 20 years. Additionally, 31% expect AI to have a negative effect on them personally. Another 31% of respondents say AI could be equally positive and negative. As for data security, pessimism remains high: 71% of respondents say AI will make their personal information less secure, while only 3% believe it will make their data more secure. American adults also largely lack confidence in both the government and AI companies when it comes to regulating and developing AI. About 67% of Americans have little to no confidence in the U.S. government’s ability to regulate AI effectively. Six in ten adults are also not confident that U.S. companies will develop and use these tools responsibly.
