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!

    • 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.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
