Stargate MMO Developer Unveils Shooter 'Stargate Resistance,' Talks Past Financial Problems

9
Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment has quietly unveiled Stargate Resistance, a PC multiplayer shooter based upon the popular sci-fi franchise, by launching a website.

The class-based third-person shooter pits humans of Stargate Command against the alien System Lords in team deathmatch, 'Capture the Tech' and domination modes, with persistent rankings and an overarching struggle to control the universe.

"I'm sure it comes as no surprise to you that here at Firesky the last year has been a little rough," says creative consultant Chris Klug in a Resistance developer diary. "The fact I'm here talking to you should tell you there's a happy ending in sight."

Cheyenne faced financial difficulties as its MMO 'Stargate Worlds' missed its original release window of early 2009, and was at one point rumoured to be late paying staff.

"We chose to remain quiet during those times, because, honestly, we often didn't know what our future was day-to-day, sometimes even hour-to-hour. As a group we chose to not say anything until we knew something.

Moving forward, think of our relationship as one we need to re-build; imagine this conversation is the first one we have over a cup of coffee in Starbucks where I ask you to give us a chance to restore what we had and enjoyed together.

Continue to stick with us. I know you'll enjoy the fast-paced action Resistance has in store for you while we continue to work towards SGW's release.

    this game couldve been pretty cool ...if it was released like 5 years ago.
    graphics are more than outdated. it looks even worse than WoW. not that WoW had bad graphics but the graphics of a shooter shouldnt be on the same level as an mmo.
