Stargate Worlds to make a dramatic showing at Comic Con
Filed under: Sci-fi, New titles, Stargate Worlds, News items
Footage is exciting and all, but we're intrigued by the partnership with the Armed Forces. Presumably this means recruiters will be present at the event as well. The Stargate franchise has always had a close relationship with the military; its central characters have mostly been members of the Air Force. In fact, Stargate SG-1 has featured a handful of cameos by real-world military figures, including Air Force chief of staff Michael E. Ryan, who played himself in the episode "Prodigy."

What you have to really ask is why Stargate, and why an MMO at Comic-Con? Comic-con is geeky in general, but it is COMIC-con. You don't see anime booths at Star Wars Conventions.

Well there were a few Stargate comics published:

But in reality, we know the answer is "because it's a big event and Firesky know there will be potential fans there". :-)
As an aside, Stargate fans are pretty full-on. I worked on a Stargate licensed game a few years back (which ended up being cancelled and never released) and man, the fans were so pissed.
