E3: Stargate SG-1 Goes Interactive
Daniel Tovar, associate producer of the upcoming video game based on the Stargate SG-1 series, told SCI FI Wire that fans will have a chance to play as any of the show's four lead characters. "It's an original story arc based on existing characters, so it's totally specific to the console versions and the PC," Tovar said in an interview at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. "Basically, you play as all four of the characters from SG-1 at different parts of the game. There's also a co-op mode, which is online as well as on the single unit, where you can play all four people from the unit. It's also got multiplayer death match and versus modes."
Stargate SG-1: The Alliance, the latest game to be affiliated with the SCI FI Channel series, was developed by Perception Studios and will be published in the United States by Namco. Tovar said that the cast of the show also participated in the game's creation. "[We] have all the show's actors—Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping—all the main crew," he said. "We also have likeness rights, so all the characters have been modeled straight from the actors themselves."
Stargate SG-1: The Alliance will have elements of a first-person shooter, but will also feature puzzles that players must solve before moving forward. Although the storyline is new, fans of the show will recognize many of the weapons, locations and enemies in the game. "[The characters] all have individual weapons that can be used for specific strategies," Tovar said. "O'Neill [Anderson] has a sniper rifle. Carter [Tapping] has the ribbon device, which she can use to throw people off cliffs. And Teal'c [Christopher Judge], being the big, bulky guy that he is, has a melee attack that he runs up and batters people around. And because it is a team-based game, if one of your members falls down you can revive them. There's a timer on there so they're only around for a limited amount of time. And if your team fails, you fail." Stargate SG-1: The Alliance will be released in stores in October.
