This is most distressing.
Seriously, I am a huge fan of Stargate SG-1. I wasn't too sure how the series would hold up once front man Richard Dean Anderson left, but it's going well, and I'm confident the series as been given to life. Since the announcement of the videogame Stargate SG-1: The Alliance, I've been pretty excited. I've been following this game from the beginning when it was just in talks. The original actors were all doing the voices, heck they even made a season 8 episode USING the models from the game.
I guess it should be no surprise then that the game has been (temporarily?) cancelled. I mean, I really wanted it, so why shouldn't it be cancelled? Besides, it's not like this is the first time such a thing has happened to me. (Earthbound 64, the new Full Throttle). I should be used to it. But I'm not. I absolutely hate it when it happens.
It's not all bad I suppose. I mean, JoWood pulled it from the developer for a good reason. They figured that Perception couldn't make a good product withing the given time (having seen what was previously done), so they yanked it. It's not so much that that annoys me, it's that it may have been pulled for good. It would be one thing if they had cancelled it before very much had been done, but that's not how it was. If this game never gets made, we'll always have the screenshots and movies of gameplay footage to haunt us.
It's a sad day in the Stargate universe, but I still have hope. I believe Stargate is worthy of a game, and someday, it will happen. I just have to wait longer than I wanted to.
