Early Stargate Worlds combat video shows off enemy AI
Filed under: Betas, Sci-fi, Stargate Worlds
Jon Wood at MMORPG recently put up a hands-on video of gameplay in Stargate Worlds. This latest footage gives us an early look at combat in Stargate Worlds. Primarily, it shows the importance of using cover to survive.
Wood seems to like what he's experienced of the game so far, particularly in terms of the AI in Stargate Worlds."Getting taken off-guard by AI opponents does not happen very often. But when it does, it's just fantastic. It gets your heart going, causes you to panic," he says. The comments related to the video are drawing comparisons with Tabula Rasa but keep in mind this footage is from an alpha stage of testing. That being said, what do you think about how Stargate Worlds is shaping up?

They've certainly got the style right. Not sure if the combat'll do it for me though, but I have hopes of the rpg element, could be good fun.

Veddy interesting, wonder if they will be true to the series or try to fly by wire it.

I've often thought that AI is one of the biggest factors holding MMORPGs back as a genre.
If you imbued the NPCs and enemies with more intelligence and interesting behaviour than just standing around waiting to be 'aggroed' arbitrarily, other factors would fall into place quite easily, like more interesting quest objectives, lessened feeling of 'grind' and all around less generic MMOs.

They have the go ahead from the series creators to add to the canon of Stargate with the game, and they give the impression that everyone at the studio has watched the series from back to front, so i dont think staying true to the series will be a problem

wonder how the sharing xp will work while playing. and if this will lead to people running up in your fight when you didn't need help. What about quest drops or ques goals. do we both get credit for killing that mob?
