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!

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
